Agriculture accounts for almost a quarter of firms in the Scottish Borders, and the motor trade sits above its British share too. Three industrial estates, Dovecot, Southpark and Cavalry Park, hold most of the town's working units. From Peebles we also travel to Selkirk, where the same rural pattern applies to yards, garages and outbuildings that stand empty overnight. - Farming at 23.6% of Borders businesses - Dovecot, Southpark and Cavalry Park estates - Eastgate Theatre and Arts Centre in town - Selkirk covered by the same team Get a Quote [View Peebles on OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=Peebles%2C%20Peeblesshire,%20Scotland) Peebles Business Profile ## Borders business and what it needs The Scottish Borders has some 5,005 registered businesses. Agriculture is by far the biggest group at 1,180, with construction on 680 and professional services on 530. When nearly one firm in four is a farm, the services that fit are vehicle patrols that cover several holdings in a night, and solar camera towers that run without a power supply in a field or yard. Garages and dealers form 3.5% of local firms, slightly over Britain's 3.0%, and forecourts tend to need towers plus night patrols against vehicle theft. Whoever we send to Dovecot or Cavalry Park holds an SIA licence, has passed BS 7858 screening and is paid through PAYE. A GPS record opens every shift for our desk, and a digital report closes it. 5,005 Registered businesses in Scottish Borders 9 Pubs, bars & nightclubs within 5 km ### Working estates and an arts venue - **Industrial & business parks:** Dovecot Industrial Estate, Southpark Industrial Estate and Cavalry Park Industrial Estate - **Hospitals:** Hay Lodge Hospital ### Venues & Martyn's Law On the arts side, Peebles has the Eastgate Theatre and Arts Centre.

Updated October 2026. Security Requirements in Peebles ## River, trails and working yards Peebles balances visitor trade with a working edge. Nine pubs and bars sit within 5km, Hay Lodge Hospital serves the town, and four construction sites are currently mapped nearby. There is no rail station or retail park in that radius, so most commercial activity is concentrated in the centre and on the three estates. That layout suits mobile patrols linking the estates and outlying farms, plus key holders and alarm attendance for owners who live a fair distance from their premises.

Borders crime is counted by Police Scotland, whose figures sit outside Police.uk; the per-street tables found on our English pages therefore have no Peebles counterpart. Your own premises will tell you more. On the free visit an assessor tries fences, lighting, alarms and access against twenty-five fixed risk points, and you keep a written record of the findings.

Peebles Security FAQs ## Frequently asked questions ### Are farms around Peebles part of your work? Very much so: agriculture makes up 23.6% of Borders businesses, more than five times the British share. We run patrols that link several holdings, fit solar towers in yards and install POD intruder alarms on remote sheds. ### Can you secure a garage forecourt overnight? Yes. Garages and dealers account for 3.5% of Borders firms, just ahead of Britain's 3.0%. Forecourt towers, night patrols and alarm attendance help deter vehicle theft and damage after closing. ### Do you cover units on the Peebles industrial estates? We do. Dovecot, Southpark and Cavalry Park all lie inside 5km. A patrol route can include one unit or several, each check logged by GPS and written up digitally for you. ### Can I see crime statistics for Peebles? Not here. Scottish numbers are held by Police Scotland rather than Police.uk, so the tables used for English towns do not exist. Our free audit, a £250 service, gives a sharper picture of what threatens your own property. ### Could you staff a night at the Eastgate Theatre? Licensed door staff and stewards from our team can cover performances and events. When a show sells 200 tickets or more, Martyn's Law matters, so we also review entry routes and search arrangements in advance.
