Edinburgh and Newcastle Airports are within easy reach and have regular flights to London, other UK airports and a variety of foreign destinations. Craigie Lodge is set in one of the genuinely rural areas of Scotland, despite its proximity to Edinburgh. There are excellent opportunities for the country sports enthusiast, with salmon and trout fishing available locally, including on the nearby Watch Water Reservoir, and shooting on local estates. There are 10 golf courses within easy reach, including an 18 hole course at Duns and the Roxburghe Golf Course, a championship course near, Kelso.

  • 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.

  • Regional Geochemical Patterns in South-East Scotland: Source Lithology, Inheritance and Glacial Overprinting
    Published in Scottish Journal of Geology, 2013, Volume 49, 33-40. Note that this version of the text does not include the Journal’s editorial and proof corrections Regional geochemical patterns in south-east Scotland: source lithology, inheritance and glacial overprinting P. Stone and A. A. McMillan British Geological Survey, Murchison House, West Mains Road, Edinburgh EH9 3LA [email protected] Synopsis The Lower Palaeozoic, Southern Uplands terrane shows a NE-SW, strike-parallel coincidence of regional geochemical lineaments defined from stream sediment data, and major, lithostratigraphically significant structures. West of Moffat, Silurian strata of the Gala and Hawick groups are divided by geochemical lineaments coincident with the Laurieston Fault. East of Moffat the geochemical lineaments diverge towards the north-east with Gala-type regional geochemistry (high Sr and Ba, low CaO) to the north of the Moffat Valley Fault, whilst Hawick-type regional geochemistry (low Sr and Ba, high CaO) continues to the south of the Laurieston Fault; between the faults lies the recently defined Ettrick Group. Beyond the eastern end of the Lower Palaeozoic outcrop its geochemical lineaments extend across the unconformable cover of Devonian ‘Old Red Sandstone’. This is partly a drainage catchment effect, but two other possible explanations are considered: a localized derivation of the Devonian clastic rocks such that they inherit the compositional patterns of the underlying Lower Palaeozoic sandstones, or a geochemical signature imposed by glacial deposits derived from the Lower Palaeozoic outcrop. The local effect of glacial dispersion is confirmed by the distribution of TiO2; anomalously high levels associated with Carboniferous mafic lavas have been transported north-east across the low-TiO2 Carboniferous sedimentary rocks of the Tweed Basin.

    INTRODUCTION | CHALLENGES | VISION, AIMS AND SPATIAL STRATEGY POLICIES | APPENDICES | SETTLEMENTS SETTLEMENT PROFILE LONGFORMACUS This profile should be read in conjunction with the relevant settlement map. DESCRIPTION Longformacus is located in Berwickshire, 7 miles to the north-west of Duns. The population according to the 2001 Census was 66. The village is not located within any of the Strategic Development Areas (SDA) identified by the SESplan. PLACE MAKING CONSIDERATIONS Longformacus is a small village located on upland fringe moorland in the shadow of the Lammermuir Hills. The Dye Water runs through the village with the majority of the properties on the northern side, generally located on Duns or Gifford Road, or just off. There are examples of traditional row housing, with a variety of elevations and architectural features evident. The land to the south-east is identified as prime agricultural land. There are 13 C-listed buildings and 1 B-listed building in the village. No development is put forward for Longformacus in this Local Development Plan (LDP) period. The Dye Water is identified as being at risk of flooding and is also designated as part of the River Tweed Special Area of Conservation. Any development proposed would need to be in line with the relevant LDP policy. The trees to the north-east of the village are protected by a Tree Preservation Order. INFRASTRUCTURE CONSIDERATIONS Affordable Housing will require to be provided under provisions of Policy HD1 and the Supplementary Guidance/Supplementary Planning Guidance on Affordable Housing. A contribution towards Berwickshire High School will be sought to supplement Scottish Borders Council’s investment in the new school which opened in 2009-2010 under the 3 High Schools project.
