Ashiestiel is a village in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland, in the Parish of Caddonfoot, on the south side of the River Tweed, 4m (6.5 km) east of Innerleithen.[1]

The original name of this village in the Royal Ettrick Forest was "Echesteile" in 1456. Ashiestiel House was the home of Sir Walter Scott from 1804 until he moved to Abbotsford House in 1812.[1][2]
