The LDS includes the strategy for implementing LEADER funding in the Tyne Esk area and in addition includes a separate section (7) focused on the implementing the European Maritime Fisheries Fund (EMFF) 2014-2020 which will be undertaken in collaboration with Scottish Borders and Fife coastal areas under the heading of the Forth Fisheries Local Action Group (FFLAG). The process of creating the Local Development Strategy has highlighted the difficulty of bringing together important information about the Tyne Esk LEADER area. This is because most statistics are created at local authority level making it sometimes difficult to identify the main profile characteristics of the area. The LEADER community consultation focussed on undertaking a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis and asking participants to identify potential projects. The SWOT analysis identified some key strengths and weaknesses. For example the Tyne Esk area has a growing population partly due to recent house building, with some “new” communities being developed. This brings advantages as well as tensions. The local economy has a number of strengths: notably tourism, agriculture and food and drink, as well as a world class research centre based in and around the Easter Bush Estate Midlothian. There is a strong social enterprise sector and in general a diversity of active businesses. However key weaknesses identified relating to the economy included the lack of local employment for young people, the lack of affordable childcare and public transport that links different communities together. The consultation process has identified three key themes for the strategy for the next five years: Community, co-operation and cohesion Economic development i Enhanced environment to support our communities and businesses The values underpinning these themes and the processes that will be adopted are transparency, innovation and inclusion. The LEADER funding will include a minimum of 20% for farm diversification and rural enterprise development (originally 10% respectively). 5% (originally 10%) will also be made available for projects which facilitate cooperation. The fisheries local development funding will support the development of the maritime economy, underpinned by economic growth, social inclusion and job creation in fisheries areas. The Local Action Group will draw its membership from local businesses, organisations and will have a minimum 51-49% split between the non-public and public sector. It will be independent in its decision-making about applications based on the strategy set out in this document. The strategy itself will be revised at the mid-point of the programme to ensure that it remains fit for purpose. There will be a small staff team to support implementation including a co-ordinator, project development officer and finance support officer. The role of the project development officer will be to help foster and “animate” projects, stimulating projects in areas that the LAG wishes to see developed in line with the strategy and supporting those with ideas that fit with the overall strategy. In terms of governance and accountability, Midlothian Council will be the accountable body for the LEADER funding and will employ the staff on behalf of the LAG. The LAG will report on an annual basis to the two Community Planning Partnerships (CPPs) in Midlothian and East Lothian. The CPPs do not have any formal role in directing the activities of the LAG but it is essential to ensure that the LEADER programme complements the work of the CPPs. The CPPs in East Lothian and Midlothian have both been invited to nominate a representative to be an observer on the LAG.

LEADER Programme The LEADER programme (an acronym in French meaning Links between actions for the development of the rural economy) is a European Union initiative to support rural development projects initiated at the local level in order to revitalise rural areas and create jobs. Resilience The ability within a community to deal with change and continue to develop in a positive way. 1 Introduction The River Tyne rises in the Moorfoot Hills in Midlothian near Tynehead to the south of Edinburgh. It continues for approximately 48 km in a north-eastern direction, and it empties into the North Sea near Bellhaven. The River Esk has two main tributaries: the North Esk and South Esk. The North Esk rises near East Cairn Hill, in the Pentlands, and passes through the North Esk Reservoir and the village of Carlops. The South Esk has its source in the Moorfoot Hills near Bowbeat Wind Farm and passes through the Gladhouse and Rosebery Reservoirs as it travels out towards the sea. The rivers converge 2 km northeast of Dalkeith and travel a further 7.8 km to the sea at Musselburgh. Map of the Tyne Esk area Source: Midlothian Council 1 The rivers are similar in that they pass through relatively rural areas, small villages and more urban, built-up areas. Although the Tyne Esk area lies close to the city of Edinburgh it faces some of the issues that other more remote rural areas face: difficulties of transport and connections within the area; pockets of deprivation; low levels of local employment; issues of financial and digital exclusion. Part of the area is coastal and the harbour towns of Port Seton, Cockenzie, North Berwick and Dunbar will form part of a newly formed Fisheries Local Action Group along with harbour towns in Berwickshire and Fife. The area covered by the rivers Tyne and Esk is served by two local authorities: Midlothian Council and East Lothian Council. East Lothian Council was the accountable body for the last two LEADER programmes, the accountable body for this new Local Development Strategy 2014-2020 is Midlothian Council. Tyne Esk has successfully delivered two previous LEADER programmes between 2002-2007 and 2007-2013. During this period it has funded a wide range of community projects. The LAG membership has evolved over this period to meet the needs and priorities of the programme. In this new strategy there will be greater emphasis on the community development aspects of the programme with staff resource available to support and stimulate community activity in line

  • Petitions Committee Response
    PE1095/G Franck David Assistant Clerk to the Public Petitions Committee Tower 4, TG.01 The Scottish Parliament Holyrood EH99 1SP Dear Franck David, Public Petitions Committee response. Further to your email of 17th December regarding your request for a response to the petition received by your committee from the Pentland Hills Regional Park. Background information The designation of the Pentland Hills Regional Park was confirmed until September 1986, following the outcome of a public inquiry. The designation was made under section 48(A) of the Countryside (Scotland) Act 1967 .Initially the Pentland Hills Regional Park was operated by Lothian Regional Council who prepared a Subject Local Plan to guide the Pentland Hills Regional Park policies and management. The policies relevant to the Pentland Hills Regional Park contained within the former Lothian Regional Council’s Subject Local Plan were then incorporated into the local plans of the respective three unitary authorities. Pentland Hills Regional Park is currently covered by the City of Edinburgh Council’s Finalised Rural West Edinburgh Local Plan (2003); Midlothian Council’s Adopted Local Plan (2003) and the West Lothian Local Plan Finalised (2005). The aim of Regional Park designation is to cover extensive areas of land, in diverse ownership, where provision for public recreation is given a higher profile by establishing a co-ordinated framework for the integrated management of recreation with traditional land use in close collaboration with local interests. National Planning Policy Guidance (NPPG) 14 (s.21) states that Regional Parks play a valuable role in providing opportunities for urban populations to gain access to attractive areas of countryside for recreation and enjoyment of the natural heritage.

  • Binny Craig, an Igneous Outcrop Almost Central to the Farm, Rises to 219 Metres
    SRUC Oatridge Farm and Campus Location and access Oatridge is part of the specialist landbased college Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) offering a wide range of courses including agriculture, animal care, engineering, environment and conservation, equine studies, horticulture, and landscaping. At its centre is Oatridge Farm, which includes commercially run beef, sheep, pig and arable enterprises. The farm is used for practical tuition, and as a resource for the provision of real time physical, financial and technical data. Oatridge Farm extends to 289 hectares. Originally comprising three steadings, Oatridge, East Broadlaw and Hanging Side, all activities are now centred on Oatridge. Landscape The majority of the farm lies at a height of between 135 and 180 metres above sea level, whilst Binny Craig, an igneous outcrop almost central to the farm, rises to 219 metres. The soils within the college boundaries are complex and varied, deriving from a series of exposed soft Carboniferous mudstones and sandstones, giving rise to sandy clay loams, which have impermeable subsoils requiring artificial drainage. N Rainfall averages 940 mm (37 ins) per annum and the growing o temperature of 6 C is not generally reached until late April. Public access to Binny Craig is by a footpath from the minor As described elsewhere in the leaflet, the landforms seen road near East Broadwood [NT 043 731]. within the LGS and the surrounding area have been shaped With prior permission, access may also be gained via SRUC largely by glaciation, with crag-and-tail forms dominating the Oatridge Campus (Ecclesmachan, EH52 6HN; tel 01506 landscape, with an obvious west to east grain to the land.

  • Scottish Place-Name News No. 34
    No. 34 Spring 2013 The Newsletter of the SCOTTISH PLACE-NAME SOCIETY COMANN AINMEAN-ÀITE NA H-ALBA Defying with a coat of warm pink its sometimes chilly setting nearly 300 metres up on a hillside to the west of upper Lauderdale, is Channelkirk, the parish church for the village of Oxton in north-west Berwickshire. This ‘hidden gem’ of 1817, designed by James Gillespie Graham to replace a much older structure, is not signposted from the main A68 road through Lauderdale. The location was not always so far from the beaten track: it was beside a spring on or very close to Dere Street, the main north-south road built by the Romans and still used long after they had gone. The medieval church was dedicated to St Cuthbert. In a brilliant piece of scholarship in his parish history of 1900, the Rev Archibald Allan disproved notions that the name referred to ‘shingle’ or to ‘children’ (specifically the Holy Innocents). Using a range of sources he showed that of all the wildly variable medieval and later forms Childeschirche was closest to the original sense of ‘church of the cild ’ (youth of high status) Cuðberht ; and the motive for the siting was the belief that this was where the noble-born shepherd lad and future saint had a vision of St Aidan being borne up to heaven by angels after his death on 31 August 651. Oxton is one of those place-names with a treacherously ‘obvious’ explanation. The series Ullfkeliston 1206, Ulkilstoun c1220, Ulkes - 1273, Ugis - 1463 -4, Uxtoun mid 17 th century (Blaeu map) shows that it is based on Ulfkell , a personal name of Scandinavian origin.

  • Your Scottish Coal Mining Ancestors
    Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Your Scottish Coal Mining Ancestors May 2017 [1] Cover Photograph: Image. Hutton, Guthrie. ‘How are you off for Coals’. Collection: National Mining Museum Scotland. NGSMM2005.3397. [2] Introduction The aim of this booklet is to help you research your Scottish coal mining ancestors and the conditions in which they lived and worked. There has been coal mining in Scotland for over a thousand years, operating in tens of thousands of pits. Scottish mining saw its peak in the early years of the twentieth century, during which 10% of the Scottish population was involved in the industry. Few detailed employment records exist from the period before nationalisation in 1947. However, there are many sources available which can shed light on conditions in the workplace and at home, and help to give a more complete picture of your ancestor’s life. First Steps Before launching into specific mining related research, it is advisable to build up a comprehensive picture of your ancestors by gathering information from relatives, and by searching standard family history records. Key record sets include: statutory registers (births, marriages and deaths from 1855 onwards); Old Parish Records (baptisms, marriages and banns, and burials, up to 1855); census returns (1841-1911); Kirk Session Minutes; Memorial Inscriptions - a large collection of these is held at the Scottish Genealogy Society Library; directories – many, covering the period 1773 to 1911, are available digitally via the National Library of Scotland; newspapers; wills and testaments; legal and property records. You can find these records in libraries and record offices, family history centres, and online databases.
