Gattonside is a small village in the Scottish Borders. It is located {{convert|1|km}} north of Melrose, on the north side of the River Tweed. In 1143, the lands of Gattonside were granted to the monks of Melrose Abbey by King David I.^[1] Between 1821-1824 Gattonside House became the home of Sir Adam Ferguson Deputy Keeper of the Scottish Regalia and close friend of Sir Walter Scott.^[2] More recently, Gattonside was the home of modernist architect Peter Womersley (1923–1993), whose self-designed house, The Rig (1956), is now a Category B listed building.^[3]

The village is linked to Melrose, on the opposite side of the river, by the 19th-century Gattonside Suspension Bridge. Built in 1826, the bridge was repaired in 1992, and is protected as a Category B listed building.^[4]
