During the mid-20th century, Kirkhouse was occupied by Sir James Dundas, who is believed to have been responsible for much of the ornamental tree planting.

  • Innerleithen
    INTRODUCTION | CHALLENGES | VISION, AIMS AND SPATIAL STRATEGY POLICIES | APPENDICES | SETTLEMENTS SETTLEMENT PROFILE INNERLEITHEN This profile should be read in conjunction with the relevant settlement map. DESCRIPTION Innerleithen is located in the Western Development Area as defined in the Strategic Development Plan. The town is located in the Northern Housing Market Area. Innerleithen is located almost 7 miles east of Peebles. The 2001 Census population was 2619. PLACE MAKING CONSIDERATIONS Innerleithen sits on a significant bend in the River Tweed at a point where the valley floor opens out into wide haughland, and the majority of the built up area of the town lies on this haughland. The entrances into the town are generally quite pleasing and there is a good integration with the adjoining landscape to the north due to the mature landscape framework. The River Tweed and the flood plain dominate the southern side of the village. The town developed in the late 18th century on the development of the textile industry and the publication in the early 19th century of Sir Walter Scott’s St Ronan’s Wells, which extolled the restorative qualities of the spring waters. At this time the High Street was developed but it was not until the end of that century that the major expansion of the settlement occurred extending behind the High Street to the south and to the south east beyond the Leithen Water. Another major expansion also occurred after the 2nd World War with a major public housing scheme in the east towards the former Pirn House. Recently new residential development within the settlement has taken place to the north in the vicinity of Kirklands and it is in this area where future development is expected to take place.

  • SOUTHERN UPLAND WAY Notes on Multi-Use Access
    SOUTHERN UPLAND WAY Notes on multi-use access The Southern Upland Way is one of Scotland’s four original long distance routes, now recognised as one of Scotland’s Great Trails. The route was originally designed and created as a walking route, incorporating some sections of path and track with a long tradition of equestrian or multi-use, and others which it was never envisaged would be used by anyone other than walkers. Since then, access legislation has changed in Scotland, and interest from cyclists and horse-riders in using Scotland’s Great Trails has increased significantly. Along much of the eastern (Scottish Borders) section of the route, gates have been installed to improve multi-use access, but there are still some sections of the overall route, including much of the western half of the Southern Upland Way, which are impassable with a horse, or unsuitable for multi-use in wet weather. These notes have been produced by British Horse Society Scotland to help identify location and brief details of features which may restrict multi-use of the Southern Upland Way. Only those which may present an issue for experienced riders are noted below. Inclusion of narrow footbridges and gates, steps, or sections of very steep, narrow, eroded or boggy path within the notes does not necessarily mean that these are impassable with a horse. Photos have been included where appropriate to help you assess for yourself whether a feature such as steps, a narrow footbridge, gate or gap less than 1.5m wide may present an obstruction to you.

  • Innerleithen Mills History
    A TweedStart Resource Innerleithen Mills History Innerleithen's industrial heritage was built on the secure foundations of a thriving textiles industry spanning the 18th to the 21st century, and this development transformed Innerleithen from a small rural village into a significant mill town. Manufacturing high quality wool and yarns for leading High Street brands culminated in the town's reputation as a producer of world class cashmere and knitted garments, most notably Ballantyne's. 1846 saw the building of Dobson's Mill (later Leithen Mills) on the west bank of Leithen Water about 300 metres north of the River Tweed and also in that year George Roberts & Son built St. Ronan’s Mill a mile upstream, which produced yarn to be spun in Selkirk. This was fitted out with the latest carding and spinning machinery driven by an enormous water-wheel 8 metres in diameter and 2.7 metres across. The mill was later enlarged by Becket & Robertson who conducted a successful spinning business there. Innerleithen had already been equipped with one of the earliest custom-built woollen mills in the Borders. In 1788 the philanthropist Alexander Brodie, originally a blacksmith from Traquair, paid £3000 for the construction of Caerlee Mill, a well lit T-plan building of four flats to provide employment for local people. Proper industrialisation, however, did not arrive until 1839 when Robert Gill bought, enlarged and added steam power to the original works, thus enabling around 100 people to be employed. Power and water for washing for all three mills were channelled via the mile and half long mill lade running from the weir by the present day golf course and parallel to Leithen Water, flowing into the Tweed a few yards upstream from the confluence of this river and its tributary.

  • Rural Affairs and Environment Committee
    RURAL AFFAIRS AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE RURAL HOUSING INQUIRY SUBMISSION FROM SCOTTISH BORDERS COUNCIL REQUEST FOR INFORMATION: RURAL HOUSING ENQUIRY As requested in your letter dated 17 January 2007, I am providing you with information on rural parts of the Scottish Borders area. Much of this information comes from the Council’s 2006 Housing Needs Assessment, which can be viewed in full at: www.scotborders.gov.uk//council/departmentsandservices/socialwork/housing strategy/21470.html We are aware that we lack greater information on homelessness in rural areas, and are requesting that we address this issue with our I.T. data supplier in order that we are able to access information on the level of homelessness in each settlement in the Scottish Borders. Population Table 1 shows the population of the main settlements in the Scottish Borders. Generally Scottish rural is defined as a settlement with a population less than 3,000, this means that Eyemouth, Galashiels, Hawick, Jedburgh, Kelso, Peebles and Selkirk are not classed as rural and for this reason will not be included in this analysis. Table 1 also shows Innerleithen/ Cardrona and Melrose/Darnick/Newstead have a population over 3,000 but these will be included in the rural analysis as they have been grouped, individually they have a population less than 3,000. Duns will also be used in the rural analysis as there a many smaller settlements just outside Duns which have been included in table 1.

Chirnside (30%), Newtown St Boswells (18%), Galashiels (18%), and Galashiels 2nd centre (16%) have the highest retail unit vacancy rates. Chirnside and Newtown St Boswells also have high floorspace vacancy rates but the two Galashiels centres have average levels of vacant floorspace. Earlston, St Boswells, West Linton and Tweedbank have no vacant units at all. Melrose and Innerleithen have the next lowest retail unit vacancy rates, at just 4%. Since the last survey, retail unit vacancy rates increased substantially in Galashiels second centre (+5%) and Duns (+5%) but decreased to similar degrees in Selkirk (-5%) and Kelso (-4%), and most substantially, in Newtown St Boswells (-7%).
