From its source, the first 75 miles lie in Scotland, the next 19 miles forming the border between Scotland and England, while the final 4 miles to the North Sea are completely in England. It is divided into four main sections: Upper Tweed, Middle Tweed, Lower Tweed and Bottom Tweed.1 The focus of this paper is on the names of salmon pools in those parts of the river (in Lower Tweed and Bottom Tweed) which fall into the historical county of Berwickshire in Scotland, the place-names of which are being surveyed for the Recovering the Earliest English Language in Scotland: Evidence from Place-Names project, based at the University of Glasgow and funded for three years (2016–2018) by the Leverhulme Trust.2 While the project is surveying the major names for all 32 parishes in Berwickshire, more detailed survey is being undertaken for the four Tweedside parishes of Eccles, Coldstream, Ladykirk and Hutton which lie along the Anglo-Scottish border where the Tweed forms the boundary, plus the two neighbouring parishes of Foulden and Mordington.

By WM. EAGLE CLARKE, F.R.S.E., F.L.S. ON the 28th of September last, while in search of migra- tory birds at Fair Isle, I put up from a patch of potatoes, where it was hiding, a dark-coloured Willow Warbler, which I at once suspected belonged to some species I had never before seen in life. I was fortunate enough to secure the bird, and congratulated myself, as I contemplated its out- stretched wings each with a conspicuous single bar and its well-defined, pale, superciliary stripe, on the capture of the third British example of the Greenish Willow Warbler (Ph. viridanus). On my return to Edinburgh, however, I was agreeably surprised to find that my bird was undoubtedly an example of Eversmann's Warbler (Ph. borealis] a bird which had not hitherto been detected in Britain.

Introduction a) Background • Atlantic salmon are found across the North Atlantic. • Scotland hosts a strong population – can also be found across England and Wales. • Born in freshwater, usually small tributary rivers where they mature for one to three years. • Migrate to sea in the spring, where they feed for one to five years, before returning to their home river to spawn. • Gala Water is a small rural river in Southern Scotland, a tributary of a famous salmon river, the River Tweed. Figure 3 - Global distribution of Atlantic salmon (Franklin, • Objectives: 2016). • Establish how suitable the hydraulic conditions, land use and vegetation of the upstream Gala Water are for hosting Atlantic salmon spawning. • Identify any obstacles downstream and in the wider region which could inhibit salmon migration to the upstream Gala Water. 3 1. Introduction b) Justification • Decline in population globally, within the UK, and within Scotland. • Scotland one of four countries home to 90% of wild salmon (Iceland, Ireland, Norway) – very important to conservation on a global scale (Thorstad et al, 2011). • Importance of salmon to the region. • Salmon fishing on the Tweed employs 500+ people and brings around £24 million to the region annually (Tweed Forum, 2021).

  • (SCOTLAND) ACT 2002 I Refer to Your Recent Request
    OFFICIAL Our Ref: IM-FOI-2020-0215 Date: 18 February 2020 FREEDOM OF INFORMATION (SCOTLAND) ACT 2002 I refer to your recent request for information which has been handled in accordance with the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002. For ease of reference, your request is replicated below together with the response. What procedure is in place for the handing over to Police a prisoner arrested by a Water Bailiff? What procedure is in place for productions seized by the Water Bailiff including vehicle to Police? To clarify, Salmon fishing is controlled by the District Salmon Fisheries Boards who appoint Water Bailiffs. These Bailiffs have legal powers and are very knowledgeable regarding poaching and their rivers. If Water Bailiffs are present, they may have powers of detention (where poaching occurs in tidal waters). Unless a power of arrest exists (gang poaching or poisoning) the recommendation is that the enquiry officer seizes all fish and equipment and confirms the identity of the person involved. If sufficient evidence exists a report should be submitted to the PF and all items seized should be retained until proceedings are complete. Police Scotland procedure is governed by the legislation, which describes in detail the powers of both constables and water bailiffs. In terms of the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 2003, the term Salmon also includes Sea Trout. Freshwater fish means any fish living in freshwater other than Salmon. Please be advised this information is publicly available. As such, in terms of Section 16 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, I am refusing to provide you with the information sought.
