The valley has a history of significant flood events. Following extreme floods in 2008 and 2009, the Tweed Forum (through the Cheviot Futures initiative) began to look at more natural ways to tackle coarse sediment problems and manage flood risk. Measures such as bank protection engineered log jams (ELJs), bar apex ELJs and flow restrictors have been installed in the catchment. Alongside this, large areas of trees have been planted on the floodplains of the catchment coupled with pockets of upland planting. Key facts: Over the 4-year period of monitoring, 78 leaky barrier structures have been installed to capture and stabilise sediment and attenuate flows. A total of 53ha of native riparian and floodplain forest have been planted. Map 1: The Bowmont catchment in the Scottish Borders (source: James Hutton Institute) 1.

Resilient Communities 1.1 what is a Resilient Community? Resilient Communities is an initiative supported by local, scottish, and the UK Governments, the principles of which are, communities and individuals harnessing and developing local response and expertise to help themselves during an emergency in a way that complements the response of the emergency responders. Emergencies happen, and these can be severe weather, floods, fires, or major incidents involving transport etc. Preparing your community and your family for these types of events will make it easier to recover following the impact of an emergency. Being aware of the risks that you as a community or family may encounter, and who within your community might be able to assist you, could make your community better prepared to cope with an emergency. Local emergency responders will always have to prioritise those in greatest need during an emergency, especially where life is in danger.

Public toilets at Town Yetholm. Website: http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/pennine-way/route/walk- way-day-walk-1-border-ridge-kirk-yetholm Kirk Yetholm Kirk Yetholm and its younger sister, Town Yetholm, are located on either side of Bowmont Water, about 6 miles (10 kilometres) south-east of Kelso. The narrow, winding roads hereabouts are prone to icing, so care is required during winter. There is a lay-by beside the village green, close to the Border Hotel. The latter is famous as the finishing point of the Pennine Way, and serves as a stop-over on the St. Cuthbert’s Way. The first part of the walk crosses to the valley of Halter Burn before heading up onto the border ridge - a total of 2 miles (3¼ kilometres). Close to the village green, a finger sign shows the Pennine Way heading up a road signed for Halterburn, passing a row of whitewashed cottages that includes the famous Gypsy Palace. The road climbs between lichen- covered walls until, cresting the rise, the view ahead suddenly opens out Walk 1: The Border Ridge from Kirk Yetholm page 1 to reveal a stunning panorama.

LONDON: SAVILL AND EDWARDS, PRINTERS, CHANDOS STREET, COVENT GARDEN. PREFACE. THE work I here present to the world has cost me much thought and anxiety, the views it contains being wholly at variance with long-received doctrines, stereo typed prejudices, national delusions, and a physiology and a cosmogony based on a fantastic myth as old at least as the Hebrew record. That human character, individual and national, is trace able solely to the nature of that race to which the individual or nation belongs, is a statement which I know must meet with the sternest opposition. It runs counter to nearly all the chronicles of events called histories : it overturns the theories of statesmen, of theologians, of philanthropists of all shades—from the dreamy Essayist, whose remedy for every ill that fleshis heir to, is summed up in “ the coming man," to the “ whitened sepulchres of England," the hard handed, spatula-fingered Saxon utilitarian, whose best plea.

  • Settlement Profile Yetholm
    SETTLEMENT PROFILE YETHOLM This profile should be read in conjunction with the relevant settlement map. DESCRIPTION Although a single settlement, Yetholm is made up of two distinct parts – Town Yetholm and Kirk Yetholm. Yetholm is located outwith the Strategic Development Areas as defined in the Strategic Development Plan and sits within the Central Housing Market Area. The population of Town Yetholm is 469 whilst the population of Kirk Yetholm is 137 based on the 2001 Census. PLACE MAKING CONSIDERATIONS The settlement of Yetholm has a defined and special character not only because it is made up of two distinct parts but also because of its setting. The Haugh and the course of the Bowmont Water that separates Town Yetholm from Kirk Yetholm play a great role in connecting the two parts together. The Conservation Area of Yetholm has many special characteristics that are not found in many other locations even outwith the Borders. The most important features of the Yetholm Conservation Area are its historic layout with both Town Yetholm and Kirk Yetholm with their own green, along with its attractive rural setting. Properties are mainly two storeys in height though one and a half storey properties do exist in Kirk Yetholm. As the layout of Yetholm is one of the most important features of the Conservation Area, it is recommended that new development should respect this characteristic. Buildings of feature include the Parish Church, Blunty’s Mill, and the Old Border Inn all in Kirk Yetholm; and in Town Yetholm the War Memorial and the Wauchope Monument and the listed “Thatched Cottage” on the High Street.

Strichen was one of the first generation of villages planned in the North East in the 1750s and 1760s. Alexander Fraser, its founder hoped to create a small market town populated by textile manufacturers, tradesmen and agricultural labourers, some of whom also rented fields in the neighbourhood which enabled them to keep cows and horses. The layout of the village, characterised by straight streets connected by lanes with houses facing directly on to the pavement, still bear witness to careful planning.
