During periods of Scottish administration Berwick was the county town of Berwickshire , to which the town gave its name. Thus at various points in the Middle Ages and from when Berwick became administered by England Berwickshire had the unique distinction of being the only county in the British Isles to be named after a town in another country.

The town of Berwick was a county corporate for most purposes from , up until , when it was fully incorporated into Northumberland. During these periods, Berwick Borough Council and Berwickshire County Council or District Council existed, both named after the same town, but covering entirely different areas.

The Borough of Berwick-upon-Tweed was abolished on 1 April It is expected to take over the former Borough's mayoralty and regalia.

The local speech of Berwick-upon-Tweed shares many characteristics with both other rural Northumberland dialects and East Central Scots. Features of this dialect include the " Northumbrian Burr ", a distinct pronunciation of the letter R historically common to many dialects of North East England ; [49] and predominant non-rhoticity : older speakers tend to be slightly rhotic, while younger speakers are universally non-rhotic.

A sociological study of the English-Scottish border region conducted in found that locals of Alnwick , 30 miles 48 km south of Berwick, associated the Berwick accent with Scottish influence.

There is an apocryphal story that Berwick is or recently was technically at war with Russia. When the Treaty of Paris was signed to conclude the war, "Berwick-upon-Tweed" was left out.

This meant that, supposedly, one of Britain's smallest towns was officially at war with one of the world's largest powers — and the conflict extended by the lack of a peace treaty for over a century. The BBC programme Nationwide investigated this story in the s, and found that while Berwick was not mentioned in the Treaty of Paris, it was not mentioned in the declaration of war either.

The question remained as to whether Berwick had ever been at war with Russia in the first place. The true situation is that since the Wales and Berwick Act had already made it clear that all references to England included Berwick, the town had no special status at either the start or end of the war.

The grain of truth in this legend could be that some important documents from the 17th century did mention Berwick separately, but this became unnecessary after Knox said "Please tell the Russian people through your newspaper that they can sleep peacefully in their beds.

At some point in turn the real events seem to have been turned into a story of a "Soviet official" having signed a "peace treaty" with Mayor Knox; Knox's remark to the Pravda correspondent was preserved in this version.
