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.

  • Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide
    Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide 2 Introduction Scotland is surrounded by coastal water – the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, there are also numerous bodies of inland water including rivers, burns and about 25,000 lochs. Being safe around water should therefore be a key priority. However, the management of water safety is a major concern for Scotland. Recent research has found a mixed picture of water safety in Scotland with little uniformity or consistency across the country.1 In response to this research, it was suggested that a framework for a water safety policy be made available to local authorities. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has therefore created this document to assist in the management of water safety. In order to support this document, RoSPA consulted with a number of UK local authorities and organisations to discuss policy and water safety management. Each council was asked questions around their own area’s priorities, objectives and policies. Any policy specific to water safety was then examined and analysed in order to help create a framework based on current practice. It is anticipated that this framework can be localised to each local authority in Scotland which will help provide a strategic and consistent national approach which takes account of geographical areas and issues.

  • Burnt Mounds, Unenclosed Platform Settlements and Information on Burnt Stone Activity in the River Clyde and Tweed Valleys of South Lanarkshire and Peeblesshire
    Burnt Mounds, Unenclosed Platform Settlements and information on burnt stone activity in the River Clyde and Tweed valleys of South Lanarkshire and Peeblesshire. by Tam Ward 2013 Burnt Mounds, Unenclosed Platform Settlements and information on burnt stone activity in the River Clyde and Tweed valleys of South Lanarkshire and Peeblesshire. PAGE 1 Abstract Throughout the work of Biggar Archaeology Group’s (BAG) projects, burnt stone is shown to have played an important aspect of life in the past. Sometimes deliberately burnt as a method of transference of heat in the case of burnt mounds and where water was heated, and also in pits where dry cooking may have taken place, to co-incidentally being burnt in hearths and fireplaces during all periods from the Mesolithic to Post Medieval times. The recognition of burnt stone in the archaeology of the Southern Uplands of Scotland has been fundamental to interpretations by the Group in their voluntary work. The greatest manifestation of burnt stone appears in burnt mounds (BM), a relatively new class of site for the area of the Clyde and Tweed valleys, albeit now one of the most numerous. The subject of burnt stone in the general archaeology of BAG projects is also considered. Unenclosed Platform Settlements (UPS) are also a numerous site type in the area and perhaps are poorly understood in terms of their spatial distribution, chronology and function, as indeed are the BM. It is regarding these sites (BM & UPS) and their possible relationship with each other that this paper principally seeks to address. Burnt Mounds, Unenclosed Platform Settlements and information on burnt stone activity in the River Clyde and Tweed valleys of South Lanarkshire and Peeblesshire.

It has more than 100 million records. You can use it via the Internet to see census records from 1841, also statutory birth, marriage and death records from 1855 and earlier Parish Records of baptisms, marriages and burials. Online you can buy credits (starting price GBP 7). For this fee, you will receive 30 "page credits" which are valid for a full year. Viewing a page of index results costs one credit and each page will contain up to 25 search results. Viewing an image costs five credits.
