Birgham is a village in Berwickshire, parish of Eccles in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland, near Coldstream and the River Tweed, on the A698. Birgham is close to Ednam, Kelso, Lempitlaw, Leitholm and Sprouston as well as Carham and Wark on Tweed, Northumberland.
Since mid-December 2015 Birgham has been unofficially twinned with Bedford Falls, the setting for the 1946 film It's a Wonderful Life, even having its road signs amended to include the reference.[1]
