"This old street was once the
centre of the local hand-
weaving industry. Birthplace
of Wm. and Robt. Chambers."

'Chambers's Journal of Popular Literature, Science, and Art' was a weekly publication established in 1832. Publisher William Chambers gave to Peebles the Chambers Institution, still a handsome building on the High Street, housing a museum and library.
