MACBIEHILL FARMHOUSE West Linton • Peeblesshire • EH46 7AZ MACBIEHILL FARMHOUSE West Linton • Peeblesshire • EH46 7AZ MACBIEHILL FARMHOUSE West Linton • PeebLesshire • EH46 7AZ MACBIEHILL FARMHOUSE West Linton • PeebLesshire • EH46 7AZ Certified organic smallholding with farmhouse and multipurpose barn West Linton 5 miles, Peebles 14 miles, Biggar 14 miles, Edinburgh City Bypass 12.5 miles, Edinburgh 17 miles (all distances are approximate) = Porch, hall, cloakroom, kitchen, dining room, pot wash, pantry Sitting room, bedroom with en suite shower room, two further bedrooms, bathroom Shower room, study/bedroom 4 Back kitchen, scullery, boiler/ laundry room, boot room Annexe with bedroom and shower room Greenhouse Barn, garaging, kitchen, wet room, stores EPC Rating = C About 5.6 acres in all Savills Edinburgh Wemyss House 8 Wemyss Place, Edinburgh EH3 6DH 0131 247 3738 [email protected] SITUATION Surrounded by rolling open countryside, Macbiehill is a pleasantly rural, yet accessible location. The house is amongst a small hamlet of properties a short distance from the villages of Romanobridge and West Linton, and there are easy routes into Peebles, Biggar and Edinburgh. The Edinburgh City Bypass is about 12.5 miles away and provides access to all the services Edinburgh has to offer, including the railway network, international airport and private schooling. About 5 miles to the northwest of Macbiehill is the conservation village of West Linton, providing a good range of local shops and services. These include a post office, nursery, primary school and tennis, golf and bowling clubs. Peebles (14 miles) complements this offering with a greater range of services including secondary schooling, supermarkets and a range of sport facilities. Half a mile away, Whitmuir is an organic farm with farmshop, café and gallery, providing a superb local convenience store. The surrounding area provides a plethora of outdoor recreational activities such as hill walking, golf at local courses including Glencorse and West Linton, and renowned mountain biking trails at Glentress Forest in Innerleithen. DESCRIPTION Macbiehill Farmhouse has a wonderful outlook over rolling countryside to the southwest. The land extends beyond the house and is a peaceful and productive smallholding providing superb amenity to the house. The house has a spacious layout providing versatile accommodation with a variety of living and ancillary space. The house is converted from the major section of a former traditional steading and is entirely single storey. The access to the house is through the gated pend into the central courtyard or around past the barn. The modern extension to the house was created to form a large living and studio space for the well-known Bread Matters bread-making courses that the owner ran here for many years. It is bright and airy and connects seamlessly with the kitchen which has all the practicalities of a commercial kitchen but the proportions and feel of a family kitchen. There is a wood- fired oven which is ideal for bread and slow cooking. The sitting room, which like the dining/ living room has a wood burning stove, has generous windows providing a lovely outlook over the smallholding and down the Newlands Valley. There are at present three bedrooms in the house with a fourth bedroom currently utilised as a study. There are two shower rooms (one en suite) and a bathroom as well as a cloakroom off the hall. Further sleeping accommodation is provided in the courtyard annexe which also has a shower room. The courtyard provides a sheltered and private garden with the greenhouse and annexe situated along the northern aspect. The greenhouse has two productive grape vines as well as peach and fig trees. Barn A relatively recent addition to the property is a large multipurpose barn which has excellent storage and workshop areas. There is a kitchen that provides a useful space for dealing with produce from the land and a facility for events. The wet room is positioned to be easily accessible for the land holding and has a compost loo. Land The smallholding extends to about 5 acres in all. An agroforestry scheme was established in 2011. The basic design involves a rotation of cereals, grass and vegetables in 15 metre alleys between strips of willow, hazel, alder, poplar, aspen and birch. These are grown for food, shelter and (coppiced) timber for the wood-fired oven and wood-burning stoves in the farmhouse. The land was fully certified by the Soil Association in 2012 and has maintained its organic licence ever since. There is also a polytunnel and wildlife pond. DIRECTIONS Take the A701 south from Edinburgh. At the Leadburn Junction continue on the A701 signposted to Carlisle. After about 4.5 miles by the Whitmuir farm shop, turn right to Macbiehill and after about half a mile, left onto the lane signposted to Macbiehill Farm.

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).

  • West Linton St Andrew's Parish Church
    West Linton St Andrew’s Parish Church May 2021 Scottish Charity No SC003938 Interim Moderator: Rev Calum Macdougall Locum Minister: Rev Nancy Norman Thoughts from the Locum ... Above the spacious entrance hall of the East Wing of Washington DC’s National Gallery of Art, the mobile sculpture moves as lightly as a feather. Suspended by a single cable its long and gracefully curving arms support, along their thirty-metre lengths, huge triangular black and red panels, each individually mobile. From the floor of the hall below, visitors crane their necks in awe to watch the sculpture’s motion, barely perceptible, effortless and noiseless as it glides, revolves and rotates, responsive to the tiniest current of air. Poetry in motion, precision, balance and counter-balance and an impression of weightlessness mask the fact that the whole structure, constructed of steel and aluminium, weighs more than half a ton. There is a garden gate in Peebles, wrought iron, twice my height and three times my width, and yet at the touch of a hand upon its latch, the gate swings open silently and effortlessly despite its weight. Perfect balance and counter-balance. Somehow a weight is borne. But the effort does not show. The communities that make up Carlops, Kirkurd & Newlands and St Andrew’s West Linton move and revolve, responsive to the things that happen within them and beyond them -- joyful things, sad things, big things, little things, worrying things, comforting things, fun things and serious things. Rarely does anything happen that does not touch most (Continued on page2 ) 1 (Continued from page 1) everyone in the community in some way or other.

    West Linton (Potentially Vulnerable Area 13/01) Local Plan District Local authority Main catchment Tweed Scottish Borders Council, River Tweed West Lothian Council Summary of flooding impacts Summary of flooding impacts flooding of Summary At risk of flooding • <10 residential properties • <10 non-residential properties • £4,000 Annual Average Damages (damages by flood source shown left) Summary of objectives to manage flooding Objectives have been set by SEPA and agreed with flood risk management authorities. These are the aims for managing local flood risk. The objectives have been grouped in three main ways: by reducing risk, avoiding increasing risk or accepting risk by maintaining current levels of management. Objectives Many organisations, such as Scottish Water and energy companies, actively maintain and manage their own assets including their risk from flooding. Where known, these actions are described here.
