  • PLANTS of PEEBLESSHIRE (Vice-County 78)
    PLANTS OF PEEBLESSHIRE (Vice-county 78) A CHECKLIST OF FLOWERING PLANTS AND FERNS David J McCosh 2012 Cover photograph: Sedum villosum, FJ Roberts Cover design: L Cranmer Copyright DJ McCosh Privately published DJ McCosh Holt Norfolk 2012 2 Neidpath Castle Its rocks and grassland are home to scarce plants 3 4 Contents Introduction 1 History of Plant Recording 1 Geographical Scope and Physical Features 2 Characteristics of the Flora 3 Sources referred to 5 Conventions, Initials and Abbreviations 6 Plant List 9 Index of Genera 101 5 Peeblesshire (v-c 78), showing main geographical features 6 Introduction This book summarises current knowledge about the distribution of wild flowers in Peeblesshire. 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).

  • Walkerburn & District Community Council
    WALKERBURN & DISTRICT COMMUNITY COUNCIL, 20th September, 2017. Present: Miss M. McIntosh MBE (Chairman), Mr I. McVean, Mrs I. Ogilvie-Wilson (Treasurer), Mr. D. Thomson, G. Thornton (Minutes), Mrs L. Thornton (Secretary) Ex Officio: Cllr. R. Tatler. 1. Chairman’s Introduction. The chairman welcomed all present. 2. Apologies and Notices. Apologies for absence received from Dr S. Henderson, Ms M. Daykin, Mr P. Waller, P.C. Burnside, Cllr. Haslam, and Cllr. S. Bell. 3. Open Questions. A question was raised about legal Rights of Way around the village. It was clarified that there is only one Right of Way in the village, which is the path from Caberston Steading to Priesthope. There is also a Designated Pathway along the River Tweed. These paths are shown on the Council maps. Clarification was sought regarding access from Peebles Road and up and down the steps on either side of Pink Bank Cottages. It was pointed out that when the mills were operating most of the properties and their inhabitants were associated with the mill and had common use of the various pathways in the village. However, with the demise of the mill and the consequent private ownership of all the mill properties, boundaries were designated on the Land Registry titles and excluded the public from accessing all of these former routes as they now cross private garden areas. There is no public right of way through people’s gardens or along private paths. 4. Police Report. PC Chris Burnside report, covering period 14th June 2017 to 18th September 2017, stated that there have been 45 calls to the area.

  • 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.
