Test centre address: County Buildings, Rosetta Road, Peebles, Scottish Borders EH45 8HQ
Peebles's driving tests run from the County Buildings on Rosetta Road, the council offices and police station in the Old Town, a few minutes' walk from the High Street. It's a small centre, and learners come from Peebles, Innerleithen, Walkerburn, Cardrona, Eddleston, West Linton, Broughton and Biggar.
685 car tests were taken there in a year, and it's one of the better centres to pass at: 58.8%, above the 50% across Great Britain.
