PRICE ONE SHILLING. PEEBLES ALLAN SMYTH. MCMXVI. Printed by Allan Smyth, Neidpath Press, Peebles. % 19 77 ,<' — FOREWORD. IN this Roll of Honour will be found the names of 1764 men connected with Tweeddale by parentage, birth, marriage, or residence, who have enlisted in His Majesty's Forces. The numbers for the respective parishes are as follows: Broughton, - 67 Newlands, - - - - - - 61 Drumelzier, - 18 Peebles, - 746 Eddleston, - 74 Skirling, ------ 24 Innerleithen, 299\ Stobo, 47 - 478 Walkerburn, 179^ Traquair, ------ 63 Kirkurd, ------ 22 Tweedsmuir, - - - - - 31 Lyne, ------ 16 West Linton, 81 \ Manor, ------ 20 Carlops, - - 16J The pride with which the people of Peeblesshire regard these seventeen hundred stalwarts is overshadowed by the knowledge that some of them have gone forth never to return. Of those whose names are recorded here, 72 have already made the great sacrifice; many have been wounded—some of them very grievously; 19 have been reported as missing; while 9 have been interned in Germany as prisoners of war. iii. iv. PEEBLESSHIRE ROLL OF HONOUR. Included in the Roll are the names of several men who have been discharged from the Army, owing to the serious nature of their wounds or because they had become physically unfit for further service. These names have been retained, as the men are entitled to credit for having "done their bit" while they were able. No record has been kept of those reported wounded, as it was found impossible to differentiate between wounds which disabled the sufferer for perhaps a few days only and those of a more serious nature. At the end of the Roll will be found the names of the officials of the Peeblesshire Volunteer Home Guards, with a list of the members of that organisation. The Publisher has made every effort to secure accuracy in the Roll as now issued, but he is aware that both errors and omissions will be found in it. It would be a great favour if friends who may notice mistakes would at once intimate the same to the Publisher, so that these may be put right in a second edition, should such be called for.

DESCRIPTION Allanton is located just over 7 miles from Duns and just under 10 miles from Berwick-upon-Tweed. The population of Allanton in the 2001 Census was 86. The village is located within the Eastern Strategic Development Area (SDA) as defined by the SESplan. PLACE MAKING CONSIDERATIONS Allanton is located above the riverbanks of the Blackadder Water and Whiteadder Water which meet just north of the village. The character of Allanton is largely defined by the fact that it developed as an estate village of Blackadder House; splay fronted lodges display the old entrance and the village has developed around them in a linear fashion along the road.

    Anderson’s Chambers TWEEDSMUIR HILLS Market Street Site of Special Scientific Interest Galashiels TD1 3AF SITE MANAGEMENT STATEMENT Tel: 01896 756652 Site code: 1573 Fax: 01896 750427 e-mail: [email protected] Purpose This is a public statement prepared by SNH for owners and occupiers of the SSSI. It outlines the reasons it is designated as an SSSI and provides guidance on how its special natural features should be conserved or enhanced. This Statement does not affect or form part of the statutory notification and does not remove the need to apply for consent for operations requiring consent. We welcome your views on this statement. A view up Drumelzier Burn, Tweedsmuir Hills Description of the site Tweedsmuir Hills Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), located approximately 10km south- east of Biggar, is a high, rounded range of hills formed from sedimentary rocks from the Silurian period. Rising to 840m at Broad Law, they encompass the largest area of montane plateau in South Scotland, and the highest summits of the Scottish Borders. The ridge between Pykestone Hill (737m) in the north and Cairn Law (717m) in the south is the watershed for the headwaters of the Tweed River, Yarrow and Megget Waters and their numerous tributaries, running in steep- sided valleys, dissect the plateau. The site experiences low temperatures, high exposure and late snow lie and this is reflected in the plant and animal communities that occur here, including a nationally important example of an upland habitat assemblage, a nationally important assemblage of breeding birds, a diverse assemblage of bryophytes and a vascular plant assemblage comprising a number of nationally scarce arctic-alpine species.
