    True, it now is, but control of the area around the current area of Berwick changed hands between the Scots and the English a number of times in the past. Similar to Alsace/Lorraine between France and Germany (treaties of Frankfurt and Versailles reversed).

    Berwick's in England, but that's not where the statue is, it's in Derby.
