  • 7. Some Lesser Lothian Streams This Is A
    7. Some Lesser Lothian Streams This is a ‘wash-up’ section, in which I look briefly at a number of small streams, mostly called burns, which flow directly to the sea or the Firth of Forth, but which in terms of discharge rate are mainly an order of magnitude smaller than the rivers looked at so far. For each, I give a short account of the course and pick out a few features of interest, presenting photographs as seems appropriate. Starting furthest to the east, the streams dealt with are as follows: 1. Dunglas Burn 2. Thornton Burn 3. Spott Burn 4. Biel Water 5. East Peffer Burn 6. West Peffer Burn 7. Niddrie Burn 8. Braid Burn 9. Midhope Burn As shall become clear, some of these streams change their names more than once along their lengths and most are formed at the junction of other named streams, but hopefully any confusion will be resolved in the accounts which follow. 7.1 The Dunglas Burn The stream begins life as the Oldhamstocks Burn which collects water from a number of springs on Monynut Edge, the eastern flank of the Lammermuir Hills. No one of these feeders dominates, so the source is taken as where the name Oldhamstocks Burn appears, at grid point NT 713 699, close to the 200m contour. After flowing c3km east, the name changes to the Dunglas Burn which flows slightly north-east in a deep, steep- sided valley for just over 7km to reach the sea. For the downstream part of its course the burn is the boundary between the Lothians and the Scottish Borders, but upstream it flows in the former region.

  • Nordic Council of Ministers
    COASTAL HERITAGE IN NORWAY Geir Tvedt, adviser, Directorate for cultural heritage in Norway Introduction Thank you for the invitation. It`s a pleasure to present some of the activities which the cultural heritage authorities in Norway have implemented to take care of the historic coastal culture. Exchange of experiences between the nordic countries gives useful perspectives to take home. Bryggen, the old harbour in Bergen, was inscribed on UNESCO´s world heritage list in 1979, one of 7 world heritage sites in Norway. (The other sites is the Struve geodetic arc, the rock carvings in Alta, the Vega archipelago, Røros mining town, the west Norwegian fjords and finally Urnes stave church. Bergen comprehends the main elements of the norwegian coastal culture. Bryggen was one of the foreign stations in the Hansa trading system for over 500 years, and tells us about the importance the fisheries have played for the settlements along the Norwegian coastline and for the development of Norway as a nation. At the quay (ki:) there are two servicevessels, which are witnesses of an another great source of income for Norway, the oil- and gasexplotation. Norway is indeed a lucky country. I work at Riksantikvaren, the Directorate for cultural heritage in Norway, in the planning department, section for interdepartemental issues. I´m edcuated as a lawyer and have been employed at the directorate for cultural heritage since year 2000. My main task is to be in dialogue with other state departments regarding their responsibility for their own cultural history. I specially work with the authorities for fishery and coastal administration at the national level.

  • Regional Geochemical Patterns in South-East Scotland: Source Lithology, Inheritance and Glacial Overprinting
    Published in Scottish Journal of Geology, 2013, Volume 49, 33-40. Note that this version of the text does not include the Journal’s editorial and proof corrections Regional geochemical patterns in south-east Scotland: source lithology, inheritance and glacial overprinting P. Stone and A. A. McMillan British Geological Survey, Murchison House, West Mains Road, Edinburgh EH9 3LA [email protected] Synopsis The Lower Palaeozoic, Southern Uplands terrane shows a NE-SW, strike-parallel coincidence of regional geochemical lineaments defined from stream sediment data, and major, lithostratigraphically significant structures. West of Moffat, Silurian strata of the Gala and Hawick groups are divided by geochemical lineaments coincident with the Laurieston Fault. East of Moffat the geochemical lineaments diverge towards the north-east with Gala-type regional geochemistry (high Sr and Ba, low CaO) to the north of the Moffat Valley Fault, whilst Hawick-type regional geochemistry (low Sr and Ba, high CaO) continues to the south of the Laurieston Fault; between the faults lies the recently defined Ettrick Group. Beyond the eastern end of the Lower Palaeozoic outcrop its geochemical lineaments extend across the unconformable cover of Devonian ‘Old Red Sandstone’. This is partly a drainage catchment effect, but two other possible explanations are considered: a localized derivation of the Devonian clastic rocks such that they inherit the compositional patterns of the underlying Lower Palaeozoic sandstones, or a geochemical signature imposed by glacial deposits derived from the Lower Palaeozoic outcrop. The local effect of glacial dispersion is confirmed by the distribution of TiO2; anomalously high levels associated with Carboniferous mafic lavas have been transported north-east across the low-TiO2 Carboniferous sedimentary rocks of the Tweed Basin.
