GLEDHILL The enforced abdication of King John in July 1296 and the consequent degrading of Scotland from an independent kingdom to a mere land of the English monarchy introduced a difficult political dualism into Scottish politics. The military conquest of Scotland meant that its barons and knights now had to decide whether to accept English claims to overlordship that were directly exercised through a colonial government, or continue to support a series of guardians who acted in King John’s name: a situation that lasted until the negotiated surrender of the guardian John Comyn of Badenoch at Strathord in 1304.

  • Scottish Borders Average Cost Per Pupil
    March 2016 Background Information and Data References School Roll Projections Every year the primary and secondary roll figures from the annual census are used as the starting point for calculating role projections. Birth numbers provided by the NHS and data regarding housing planned for the area over a five year period are then used alongside school rolls to calculate the number of existing and expected children within the catchment area. In the calculations an assumption is made that for every 100 houses built, there will be 30 primary and 15 secondary pupils added to the catchment school area. These figures are realistic in terms of national levels and local trends. Patterns within the Borders show that at most half of planned houses are actually achieved and therefore we use the figure of 50% of the planned housing in our calculations. These calculations provide a forecast of the school rolls expected should all pupils attend the relevant catchment school. This allows us to plan capital investment where required to meet occupancy needs. 2014/15 data from 2014/15 Scottish Government Pupil Number Annual Return 2015 Roll from 2015/16 Scottish Government Pupil Number Annual Return Occupancy calculated from School Capacity and Roll Number each year by Scottish Borders Council. Capacity versus Roll School capacities were last updated in 2006. They are currently only updated annually if a school has had any alterations that would affect its capacity. In October 2014, the Scottish Government produced new guidelines on how to define and calculate school capacities for primary schools. In the next few months Scottish Borders Council will conduct a piece of work to update school capacities based on these guidelines.

BERWICKSHIRE FLAG With reference to paragraph 4.1 of the Minute of 15 June 2017, the Chairman explained that discussions relating to the creation of a Berwickshire Flag had taken place over a period spanning more than three years. Following recent communications, he was now pleased to welcome Susan Swan, Depute Lord Lieutenant for Berwickshire to the meeting to explain the work that she has been involved in relating to this subject. It appeared that discussions between the Berwickshire Area Forum as was and Transport Scotland had not reached any conclusion, on the basis that no approval would be given by Transport Scotland without the production of a proposed flag, which would obviously incur costs, and the undertaking of a full public consultation exercise.

  • Burnmouth Disaster 1853 the 1881 Disaster Was Not the Only Tragedy To
    Burnmouth Disaster 1853 The 1881 disaster was not the only tragedy to hit the Burnmouth community. When the ‘Lively’ sank on the 7th of January 1853 five women in Burnmouth and one in Eyemouth were left widowed, all with young children. The following News reports give an account of the disaster and more information can be found in Peter Aitchison’s ‘Children of the Sea. Berwick Advertiser 8th January 1853 (Saturday). BOAT LOST - SIX MEN DROWNED. Yesterday fore-noon (Friday) about eleven o' clock while the fishing boats belonging to Burnmouth were at the fishing grounds, about 15 miles from the shore, a sudden gale of wind came on, which raising the sea placed the entire fleet in considerable peril, and many of them were obliged to run for shelter without getting up their lines. We regret to state that one boat, the "Lively" of Burnmouth, was unsuccessful in reaching the shore, and being struck by a heavy sea swamped and disappeared with all on board. Another boat was within sight, but the disaster was completed before any assistance could be rendered. By this occurrence six men have met a watery grave, all of whom have left widows, and about 30 young children without their natural protector and provider. The sufferers were all young men, ranging from 30 to 40 years of age, and their names are: - Thomas Lauder, master; John Aitchison, William Martin, Alexander Anderson, William Spowes (sic). All these belonged to Burnmouth. John Cowe, belonging to Eyemouth, who had gone to sea as the substitute of one of the boat's crew, who was detained at home by indisposition.
