The Auld Alliance between Scotland and France was ratified by treaty many times in history.1After 1603 with the union of the crowns of Scotland and England, it was never again a formal alliance. However the Auld Alliance did not die, the continuing links between the two countries shaped many aspects of their society. Trade, education, language, law, and philosophy were influenced by the cultural links and friendships between Scotland and France.

  • North East Locality Open Space Action Plan
    North East Locality Open Space Action Plan March 2017 North East Edinburgh Open Space and Action Plan (March 2017) Introduction This is one of four Open Space Action Plans to support delivery of Open Space 2021, Edinburgh’s Open Space Strategy. Open Space is a key element of Edinburgh’s physical, social and environmental fabric and Open Space 2021 sets guiding standards for existing and new open space provision as the city grows. Through standards based on open space quality, size and distance from homes, the Strategy aims to increase the number of people that can benefit from greenspaces that are sustainably managed, biologically diverse and contribute to health and wellbeing. The Open Space Profile shows how the Locality compares to the overall picture of open space across the city, highlighting changes to provision. It is a working plan, to be reviewed periodically to capture collective efforts which lead to the improvement and extension of Edinburgh’s green network. Actions, including estimated costs, may be subject to review, further feasibility studies and change. The Action Plan sets out proposals to help reduce inequalities in access to good quality open space and play provision. In time, it will reflect local environment priorities emerging through co-production of Locality Improvement Plans by Community Planning partners.
