Reports are produced annually on a rolling program. Earlier rounds of review and assessment have shown that the main industrial pollutants are unlikely to exceed the UK Air Quality Objectives at any location within the Council’s area. And that only NO2 from road traffic and PM10 from domestic fuel consumption still required to be considered. A Detailed Assessment of PM10 levels was subsequently undertaken at a location agreed with the Scottish Government and Scottish Environmental Protection Agency as a worst possible case. This work has shown that no part of the Councils area was at risk of exceeding the Air Quality Objective for PM10. As part of the air quality monitoring programme, the Council monitored nitrogen dioxide (NO2) using diffusion tubes at 19 different locations. The monitoring of NO2 has shown no exceedences of the NO2 Objectives, with levels on average decreasing annually. In 2010 the number of sites was reduced to 14 with the background sites at Peebles, Kelso and Melrose being discontinued.

  • Settlement Profile Jedburgh

    Settlement Profile Jedburgh

    SETTLEMENT PROFILE JEDBURGH HOUSING MARKET AREA LOCALITY POPULATION Central Cheviot 4,030 PLACEMAKING CONSIDERATIONS The historic settlement of Jedburgh was built either side of the Jed Water which runs on a north-south axis, and is framed by Lanton Hill (280 metres) and Black Law (338 metres) to the west and south west and by lower more undulating hills to the east. The Conservation Area of Jedburgh includes much of the historic core of the town including the Abbey and the Castle Gaol. Similar to Edinburgh Old Town in its layout, Jedburgh has a long street that rises terminating with the castle at the highest point. The High Street is characterised by a mix of commercial, residential and social facilities, the central area is focused around where the Mercat Cross once sat with roads leading off in various directions. Properties within the Conservation Area are built in rows with some detached properties particularly along Friarsgate. Ranging from two to three and a half storeys in height, properties vary in styles. Although the elements highlighted above are important and contribute greatly to the character of Jedburgh they do not do so in isolation. Building materials and architectural details are also just as important. Sandstone, some whinstone, harling, and slate all help to form the character. Architectural details such as sash and case windows (though there are some unfortunate uPVC replacements), rybats, margins, detailed door heads above some entrances and in some instances pilasters all add to the sense of place. Any new development must therefore aim to contribute to the existing character of the Conservation Area.

    Beyond the Border: New Contemporary Photography from Scotland Free exhibition guide Please replace after use Beyond the Border: New Contemporary Photography from Scotland Document Scotland: Sophie Gerrard, Stephen McLaren, Colin McPherson, Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert Set against the backdrop of the historic referendum on Scotland’s independence this exhibition brings together the work of Document Scotland - four photographers, each with a distinctive view of a nation in the midst of intense debate about its future. Beyond the Border is one of the most significant shows of new Scottish photography in a generation; setting out to challenge clichés and Scottish stereotypes. It pays tribute to the country’s rich history and celebrated landscape and brings together a story of modern-day Scotland and its diaspora, whilst exploring the country, its people and identity. Document Scotland is a collective of four Scottish documentary photographers brought together to witness the diverse social, cultural, political and economic changes which are occuring in Scotland at an important time in its history. Events over the next few years will shape how Scotland relates to its neighbours and the wider world. Document Scotland believes that photography can play a central part in recording a visual legacy of these times.

HE rocky islands that dot the shores of the Forth have been picturesquely described by Sir Walter Scott in " Marmion " as " emeralds chased in gold." They have also been described as " bleak islets." Both these seemingly contradictory descriptions are true according as the sky is bright and sunny or, as so often happens in our northern climate, cloudy and1 overcast. Of these islands those known as the greater *' emeralds " are Inchkeith, Inchcolme, May Island, and the Bass. The lesser " emeralds " being Cramond, Inch- garvie, Fidra, Eyebroughty, and Craig Leith. Over nearly all these islands there clings a halo of romance and legend. With Inchkeith we associate a gallant chieftain, of the name of Keith, who in one of the« invasions of the Danes slew their leader, and received the island as a reward from a grateful King. 4 THE BASS ROCK. Inchcolme takes us back to the time of the Britons when the Druids are said to have here practised the mysteries of their religion. It was here, too, that David I., having sought refuge in a storm, was enter- tained by the hermit, and afterwards in gratitude founded a monastery, the ruins of which form at the present day a picturesque feature of the island. The May Island in early Christian times was dedi- cated to religious uses, and here a colony of monks under the saintly Adrian were massacred by the Danes. The beautifully shaped Fidra has also its historical associations, having had a monastic establishment in con- nection with the Abbey at North Berwick, and also a castle called Tarbert, which at one time belonged to the Lauders of the Bass.
