'''Selkirkshire''' or the '''County of Selkirk''' is a [[Counties of Scotland|historic county]] and [[registration county]] of [[Scotland]]. It borders [[Peeblesshire]] to the west, [[Midlothian]] to the north, [[Roxburghshire]] to the east, and [[Dumfriesshire]] to the south. It derives its name from its [[county town]], the [[royal burgh]] of [[Selkirk, Scottish Borders|Selkirk]]. The county was historically also known as '''Ettrick Forest'''.

Unlike many historic counties, Selkirkshire does not have its own [[lieutenancy areas of Scotland|lieutenancy area]], but forms part of the [[Roxburgh, Ettrick and Lauderdale]] lieutenancy area.
