Bonchester Bridge (Scots Binster Brig) is a hamlet in Roxburghshire, within the Scottish Borders area of Scotland, lying on the Rule Water, 6 miles away from the busy market town of Hawick. Bonchester Bridge was home to Hobkirk Primary School which has shut down in 2015.
Bonchester Hill rises to 322m (1059 feet) and is topped by a hill fort.
In 2010 the Bonchester Bridge community formed Bonchester Brass, the village brass band, to serve its annual civic, religious and historical events.
