It is largely the fruit of many pleasant hours of botanising by the author and a few others and as such reflects their particular interests. History of Plant Recording Peeblesshire is thinly populated and has had few resident botanists to record its flora. Also its upland terrain held little in the way of dramatic features or geology to attract outside botanists. Consequently the first list of the county’s flora with any pretension to completeness only became available in 1925 with the publication of the History of Peeblesshire (Eds, JW Buchan and H Paton). For this FRS Balfour and AB Jackson provided a chapter on the county’s flora which included a list of all the species known to occur. The first records were made by Dr A Pennecuik in 1715. He gave localities for 30 species and listed 8 others, most of which are still to be found. Thereafter for some 140 years the only evidence of interest is a few specimens in the national herbaria and scattered records in Lightfoot (1778), Watson (1837) and The New Statistical Account (1834-45).

  • The Upper Tweed Community News Issue 77 June 2017 Tractor Tours to Primary Schools of the Borders
    £ 0.70 The Upper Tweed Community News Issue 77 June 2017 Tractor Tours to Primary Schools of the Borders The Royal Highland Education Trust (RHET) arranged for a tractor to visit every primary school in the Scottish Borders on the 9th of March. The tour was organised by RHET’s Scottish Borders Countryside Initiative (SBCI). RHET SBCI had the use of 10 tractors kindly donated by tractor dealerships in the Borders. These tractors visited each primary school on the day, and were seen by over 4000 children. Rose of Lamancha provided a Case tractor for all the pupils in Peeblesshire to see, kindly driven by RHET volunteer Kate Rowell from Hundleshope Farm. The morning started at West Linton school, with the P1, 2 and 3 pupils joined by the nursery children, to send the tractor on its way. It then headed to Newlands and Broughton, where the children and teachers had dressed up as farmers and animals to welcome the tractor. Both schools also made generous donations to RHET SBCI. The tractor then went on to 6 further primary schools in Peeblesshire before all 10 touring tractors gathered in Newtown St Boswells’ auction mart. Pupils asked some great questions throughout the day, including “How tall is the tractor?”, “How big is the engine?” and “How fast does it go?” There were also some very challenging questions from a few of the children from farming backgrounds. Following on from the tractor tour, RHET SBCI are producing a fundraising recipe book showcasing the great food produced in the Borders. Many schools have provided RHET SBCI with fantastic recipes, and Ally McGrath from Osso Restaurant in Peebles has kindly supplied some of his tasty recipes too.

All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright owner. ABSTRACT HAAs are the second most prevalent class of DBPs after THMs in chlorinated drinking water and are of concern due to their potential human health risk. Their concentrations in drinking water are regulated by the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and other regulatory agencies and are currently under consideration by the European Union to be regulated at 80μg/L. However their monitoring in the distribution system is complicated because several parameters influence their formation and speciation. In addition the kinetics of HAAs and their formation and stability remain largely unidentified. The HAAs are not as chemically or biologically stable as THMs in aquatic systems and their stability may impact their measurement. The levels of HAAs within a distribution system may vary seasonally and spatially. Many studies have shown that their concentration in a distribution system can rise as well as fall. The levels of HAAs in the distribution system could be increased in the presence of residual chlorine or due to the decomposition from other DBPs and be decreased by biodegradation or hydrolysis and abiotic degradation.

The writer was invited to walk over the farm with Mr Lorimer who did indeed point out sites without record and also the monuments that had been recorded. The farm, like the other areas of Upper Tweeddale has a rich legacy of upstanding buildings, covering a range of periods. That visit was one of the reasons for the present research of the archaeological sites and monuments of Upper Tweeddale. To facilitate a survey, Mr Lorimer sketch painted a view of Logan, depicting the sites he knew about. This was presented to the writer and is produced here for the first time. Sadly, Andrew Lorimer did not live to see the outcome of what he desired. However, this survey of Upper Tweeddale, the land he loved so much, could not have been reproduced in the form it is, without a generous grant from the Andrew Lorimer Trust. The writer acknowledges that essential support and is grateful to the Trustees of the Fund for their confidence in the outcome of this work, of which the survey is the first phase.

    £ 0.70 The Upper Tweed Community News Issue 70 September AWARD AFTER A LIFETIME OF SERVICE An MBE was awarded in the Queen’s Honours list in June to Fiona Hamilton, community transport organiser East Scotland, for services to the British Red Cross Transport Service. This follows the award in 2011 of the prestigious Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, the highest award given to volunteer groups across the UK for outstanding work done in their local communities. Fiona has written of her life in serving and volunteering: ‘I was introduced to the Red Cross where I was brought up in Macclesfeld at the early sge of fve when VADs (voluntary aid detachment), as they were known then, practised bandaging in our lounge. Apparently l gave them a cup of tea if they were early! Around that time, the war was on, and l recall a feet of black ambulances driven by the VADs dressed in their uniform suits taking patients wherever they needed to go. There was a story of a psychiatric patient on his way north and when the ambulance developed an oil problem. He nipped out, fxed it and they went on their way. A few years on there followed yearly collections on Boots corner when l was under age and chaperoned. Later still l was involved in serving tea to blood donors whilst they relaxed for twenty minutes before returning to work. The Red Cross organised Mrs Fiona Hamilton quarterly blood sessions which were very busy. Looking back l remember an impressive number of VADs marching down the Main St each year proudly lead by their Commandant and admired by the crowds, a sight not seen for many a long year.
