In 1913 The Innerleithen Alpine Club was amalgamated with another organisation and became known rather cumbersomely as The Tweeddale Club for the Study of History and Natural Science. It soon changed its name to The Tweeddale Society and has remained so ever since. The Society flourished for 28 years until it was suspended in 1941 during the Second World War, and was later revived in 1967. In 2013 the Society marked the centenary of its foundation by publishing a fully illustrated history.
