Selkirkshire is a Southern Scottish county. Practically the entire terrain features hills. The larger stream valleys prove to be the only lower land features.
In the far southwest and west lie the tallest hills. Among these are the Dun Rig at 2,433 feet, the Broad Law at 2,723, the Black Law at 2,285 feet, Lochcraig Head at 2,625, Capel Fell rising to 2,223, Bodesbeck Law at 2,173, Ettrick Pen at 2,269, and Wind Fell at 2,180 feet. To the north border lie the peaks of Windlestraw Law at 2,161 feet.
The main rivers in the county are the Ettrick that runs for thirty-two miles and its left bank tributary the Yarrow River that runs for fourteen miles. The Gala Water meanders twenty-one miles before merging with the Tweed River.
For lochs, Selkirkshire has the Loch of the Lornes and St. Mary's Loch in the highlands. Among the many smaller lakes to the southeast are the two lochs of the Shaws, Akermoor and Clearburn. Selkirkshire also features the three main vales of the Yarrow, Ettrickdale, and the Tweed.
