The site has the capacity to introduce circa 30-40 new housing units to Cardrona. It is within an area of agricultural land currently used for low level sheep grazing and contained by the hill to the south. Images of the site are shown in Figures 5, 6 and 7. The proposed site is not identified as being in a Figure 5 north facing direction of site flood risk zone and sits low within the landscape. 2.14 Figure 8 and appended plans indicate the area shown in red is the area being considered for future housing development with the wider area retained under client control to enable any potential wider landscape measures. 2.15 The agricultural landform is restricted by the embankment which runs up from the rear of Figure 6 west facing direction of site the subject site to a dense woodland that sits at the top of the hill. This also acts as a form of containment for the proposed housing. 2.16 The site is bound to the north and east by the B7062 and existing housing, to the west by 2 existing residential dwellings and to the south by a embankment towards the summit of Cardrona Hills and a tree belt.

    Burnt Mounds, Unenclosed Platform Settlements and information on burnt stone activity in the River Clyde and Tweed valleys of South Lanarkshire and Peeblesshire. by Tam Ward 2013 Burnt Mounds, Unenclosed Platform Settlements and information on burnt stone activity in the River Clyde and Tweed valleys of South Lanarkshire and Peeblesshire. PAGE 1 Abstract Throughout the work of Biggar Archaeology Group’s (BAG) projects, burnt stone is shown to have played an important aspect of life in the past. Sometimes deliberately burnt as a method of transference of heat in the case of burnt mounds and where water was heated, and also in pits where dry cooking may have taken place, to co-incidentally being burnt in hearths and fireplaces during all periods from the Mesolithic to Post Medieval times. The recognition of burnt stone in the archaeology of the Southern Uplands of Scotland has been fundamental to interpretations by the Group in their voluntary work. The greatest manifestation of burnt stone appears in burnt mounds (BM), a relatively new class of site for the area of the Clyde and Tweed valleys, albeit now one of the most numerous. The subject of burnt stone in the general archaeology of BAG projects is also considered. Unenclosed Platform Settlements (UPS) are also a numerous site type in the area and perhaps are poorly understood in terms of their spatial distribution, chronology and function, as indeed are the BM. It is regarding these sites (BM & UPS) and their possible relationship with each other that this paper principally seeks to address. Burnt Mounds, Unenclosed Platform Settlements and information on burnt stone activity in the River Clyde and Tweed valleys of South Lanarkshire and Peeblesshire.

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).

  • Draft Scottish Borders Cycle Tourism Strategy 2016-2021 ‘Keeping up the Momentum’
    DRAFT Cycle Tourism Strategy 2016 - 2021 Draft Scottish Borders Cycle Tourism Strategy 2016-2021 ‘Keeping up the momentum’ May 2016 Draft 1 DRAFT Cycle Tourism Strategy 2016 - 2021 1. Purpose of Document The purpose of this document is to set out a proposed five year strategy for cycle tourism in the Scottish Borders until 2021. It details the product strengths, the challenges and the ambitions of using cycling as a means to deliver economic benefit to the area. It also highlights key issues needing to be addressed. A proposed Action Plan details how three key objectives will be achieved through the support of collaborative working. This document will be used as part of a consultation exercise ensuring that all relevant partners and interested groups are fully engaged with prior to progressing an agreed Action Plan. 2. Introduction The Scottish Borders has a long-established and substantial leisure cycling offer along with world- class mountain biking at the 7stanes sites at Glentress, Innerleithen, Newcastleton, and also a series of natural trails. The natural assets of the Scottish Borders provides a wonderful cycling playground and a range of cycle friendly services. Unlike other activities, cycling1 is available throughout the Borders offering a good opportunity for geographic spread. Following the development of the 7stanes and a concerted effort to promote leisure cycling from 2009 via the Scottish Borders Recreational Cycling Group (SBRCG), cycling has become a key tourism product for the area. The SBRCG comprised a number of organisations and interests with either a remit for, or an interest in, the promotion of leisure cycling.
