Appendix 2 Response by Scottish Borders Council to the Payphones Appendix 2 Response by Scottish Borders Council to the Payphones Closure Consultation The consultation process being carried out by British Telecom has indicated that there are currently 46 public payphones which are little used by consumers and are proposed for closure. In addition it is understood that there was one additional payphone in the Newcastleton area that was included in the list of payphone closures for North Cumbria. Payphones provide an important communications ‘safety net’ for individuals within communities in the Scottish Borders. This is especially the case where: x There is restricted mobile phone coverage by the four national mobile phone operators (which is a major concern), x There are tourists or visitors passing through country areas and where there maybe a need communicate problems resulting from accidents, crime or other issues x There is social need. The payphones most affected by these criteria are shown below. All of these are in social need. There is also reference to payphones where particular concerns have been raised by communities. It is the Council’s view that all of the payphones referred to below should be kept open. Restricted Mobile Coverage In Relation to National Mobile Telephone Operators x Pco, Longformacus, Duns TD11 3PE - Tel No 01361 890220 (representation from the Cranshaws, Ellemford and Longformacus Community Council on this proposed closure) x Pco, (Ellemford, Longformacus) Duns TD11 3SG – Tel 01361 890270 (representation from the Cranshaws, Ellemford and Longformacus Community Council on this proposed closure) x Pco1 Craik, Hawick TD9 7PS – Tel 01450 880232 (representation from Upper Teviotdale and Borthwick Community Council on this proposed closure.) - Craik is a forest area. The payphone is located in close proximity to an outdoor centre, mountain biking facility, holiday log cabins and a forest operation. Also there is a strong view that it should be converted to coin operation and cleaned on a regular basis x Pco1, Belford on Bowmont, Kelso TD5 8PY – Tel 01573 420213 (representation from Yetholm Community Council on this proposed closure). It is the only phone box on a seven mile stretch of the Bowmont Valley which is ‘cut off’ by be affected by flooding. It is also used by walkers who support employment in the area. This part of the valley is a mobile phone black spot, so there is no alternative for walkers. x Teviotdale Telephone Exchange, Mossyknowe, Hawick TD9 OLE – Tel 01450 850220 (representation from Upper Teviotdale and Borthwick Community Council on this proposed closure) there is little or no mobile phone signal along the A7 between Langholm and Hawick and this is the only phone on the Scottish Borders stretch. x Pco at Newcastleton (representation from the local community on this proposed closure).

Here I review the pre- and post-Reformation context of Scottish pil- grimage, outline significant influences and agents in “new” Scottish pilgrimage ideas and praxis (including the Scottish Pilgrim Routes Forum), and give a detailed account of the development of the Fife Pilgrim Way (officially launched in July 2019) as an example par excellence of how pilgrimage currently is being operationalized and re- framed, influenced by both Caminoization and heritagization. This analysis shows that Scotland’s contemporary “rehabilitation” of pilgrimage is driven by multiple agents and agendas (religious, civic, economic, and societal), and that its roots lie inter alia in Scotland’s complex identity politics, Celticism, sectarianism, pro-European sentiments, and a pragmatic reassessment of and reengagement with Scotland’s frag- mented pilgrimage past. Keywords Scotland – pilgrimage – Caminoization – heritagization – Church of Scotland – Scottish Pilgrim Routes Forum In this article I examine current trends in the Caminoization and the heritagi- zation of religion in relation to the growth of “new” pilgrimage in Scotland. The Camino de Santiago de Compostela, designated a Cultural Route of the Council of Europe in 1987, has come to epitomize the trend toward “heritagization” © Marion Bowman, 2020 | doi:10.1163/15685276-12341598 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the CC BY 4.0Downloaded license.
