The Sheriff of Roxburgh was historically the royal official responsible for enforcing law and order in that area of Scotland. Prior to 1748 most sheriffdoms were held on a hereditary basis. From that date, following the Jacobite uprising of 1745, the hereditary sheriffs were replaced by salaried sheriff-deputes, qualified advocates who were members of the Scottish Bar. The position of Sheriff of Roxburgh and Selkirk was created in 1868 following a merger of the position with that of Sheriff of Selkirk.

| - The Sheriff of Roxburgh was historically the royal official responsible for enforcing law and order in that area of Scotland. Prior to 1748 most sheriffdoms were held on a hereditary basis. From that date, following the Jacobite uprising of 1745, the hereditary sheriffs were replaced by salaried sheriff-deputes, qualified advocates who were members of the Scottish Bar. The position of Sheriff of Roxburgh and Selkirk was created in 1868 following a merger of the position with that of Sheriff of Selkirk. The combined sheriffdom was further enlarged in 1872 by its merger with part of the sheriffdom of Haddington and Berwick to create the sheriffdom of Roxburgh, Berwick and Selkirk. That resulting sheriffdom was dissolved in turn in 1975 with the creation of the current sheriffdom of Lothian and Borders. (en)
