However, history was renacted as part of an impressively organised journey of stagecoaches from Edinburgh to Gretna Green between the 16th and 18th August, all part of a drive in aid of McMillan Cancer Support. Some residents travelled from the Mount to Broughton on Saturday 16th. Others went from Broughton to the Crook Inn on Sunday 17th, where horses and the coach were changed. Then on to Tweedhopefoot, the Devil’s Beeftub and Moffat. Travel through Moffat was slowed by the Moffat The stagecoach travelling through Broughton Photo: Sheila Milne sheep races!

Some of you will use us in all three areas and we welcome your business. We also welcome your feedback and would be delighted to hear any comments . good or bad. Of course, it’s great to get positive input and we’re very proud of the letters, e-mails and calls received over the months and years. It’s also great to share this with our staff who are all very much part of the business. Regular users of Service 91 and Service 93 will have come across some of our drivers who try very hard to keep passengers happy in what can be very challenging circumstances. I’m thinking here of coping with adverse weather like the recent fooding, coping with other road users, especially the larger vehicles on our minor roads and dovetailing with other services like Stagecoach at West Linton. Anyway, here is an opportunity to put names to some of the faces! · Leanne – our youngest and newest driver · Ian – who has years of experience on these routes with another operator! · Andrew – hails from Innerleithen · Richard – he’s from Liverpool & Galashiels but loves the Peeblesshire countryside We also do a large variety of private hires with anything from 16-seaters to 57-seaters and have wide experience of sporting events, weddings, day trips, longer tours and lots of other things.

  • Section 3: the Fishes of the Tweed and the Eye
    SECTION 3: THE FISHES OF THE TWEED AND THE EYE C.2: Beardie Barbatulus Stone Loach “The inhabitants of Italy ….. cleaned the Loaches, left them some time in oil, then placed them in a saucepan with some more oil, garum, wine and several bunches of Rue and wild Marjoram. Then these bunches were thrown away and the fish was sprinkled with Pepper at the moment of serving.” A recipe of Apicius, the great Roman writer on cookery. Quoted by Alexis Soyer in his “Pantropheon” published in 1853 Photo C.2.1: A Beardie/Stone Loach The Beardie/Stone Loach is a small, purely freshwater, fish, 140mm (5.5”) in length at most. Its body is cylindrical except near the tail, where it is flattened sideways, its eyes are set high on its head and its mouth low – all adaptations for life on the bottom in amongst stones and debris. Its most noticeable feature is the six barbels set around its mouth (from which it gets its name “Beardie”), with which it can sense prey, also an adaptation for bottom living. Generally gray and brown, its tail is bright orange. It spawns from spring to late summer, shedding its sticky eggs amongst gravel and vegetation. For a small fish it is very fecund, one 75mm female was found to spawn 10,000 eggs in total in spawning episodes from late April to early August. The species is found in clean rivers and around loch shores throughout west, central and Eastern Europe and across Asia to the Pacific coast. In the British Isles they were originally found only in the South-east of England, but they have been widely spread by humans for

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).

The writer was invited to walk over the farm with Mr Lorimer who did indeed point out sites without record and also the monuments that had been recorded. The farm, like the other areas of Upper Tweeddale has a rich legacy of upstanding buildings, covering a range of periods. That visit was one of the reasons for the present research of the archaeological sites and monuments of Upper Tweeddale. To facilitate a survey, Mr Lorimer sketch painted a view of Logan, depicting the sites he knew about. This was presented to the writer and is produced here for the first time. Sadly, Andrew Lorimer did not live to see the outcome of what he desired. However, this survey of Upper Tweeddale, the land he loved so much, could not have been reproduced in the form it is, without a generous grant from the Andrew Lorimer Trust. The writer acknowledges that essential support and is grateful to the Trustees of the Fund for their confidence in the outcome of this work, of which the survey is the first phase.

A FEW words of explanation may be offered here regarding the origin and purport of the following fresh contribution to the already ample literature of the Glacial phenomena of Scot- land. In the autimin of 1859, during the course of a geological ramble in Fife, my old friend and colleague, the President of the Geological Society, first led me to inquire more narrowly into the received theories respecting the cause of the dressed rock -surfaces, and the accumulations of boulder-clay. In com- pany with nearly every geologist in this country, I was in the habit of regarding the striations on the hills of the opener parts of the country, as for instance in the valley of the Forth, as due to the abrading force of icebergs, by whose operations also the boulder-clay was held to have been transported over the surface of the submerged land.
