Welcome to the official website of the Hawick Flood Protection Scheme

Protecting and Enhancing Hawick

The Hawick Flood Protection Scheme is one of the largest flood defence projects ever carried out in Scotland.  Our aim is to build a state-of-the-art flood protection system which will protect the town of Hawick against major flood events for many years to come – and to do so with the minimum of disruption to local residents, businesses and wildlife.
