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.

  • Tweed Valley Forest Park – Land Management Plan Landscape Input
    Tweed Valley Forest Park – Land Management Plan Landscape Input 1. Introduction This document is a commentary on Tweed Valley Forest Park which comprises, Cademuir, Glentress, Cardronna, Traquair, Caberston, Elibank, Thornylee and Yair. It is intended to be a working document to help review the landscape context of these forest blocks; identify any issues to address within the LMP and make design/management suggestions. The report covers the following topics: • Landscape context • Landscape character • Landscape designations • Summary of key issues 2. Context The Tweed Valley Forest Park is located along the Tweed Valley between Peebles in the west and the confluence of the Tweed Valley and the Ettrick Water to the east. Diagram LA_01 shows the 8 FLS Forest Blocks within the Tweed Valley. There are a varied mix of landscape elements within the Tweed Valley with forestry, woodland, open hillsides and pastoral farmland all in close proximity. The valley floor has a diverse land use of towns/villages, scattered settlement, farm steadings, woodlands, pasture and estates. Woodland is a significant feature in the Tweed Valley with a mix of woodland belts, farm woodlands, policy woodlands and forestry. Forests on valley slopes and adjacent summits are a typical feature. A series of estate landscapes give visual diversity to the Tweed Valley which include historical woodland plantings. The flat valley bottom is wider to the west and narrows after Innerleithen through to Yair before widening again. Small and medium scale rounded hills close to settlement with woodland cover contrasts with the relatively flat pastoral valley. These hills provide a backdrop to the settlements and a sense of enclosure within the valley.

  • Innerleithen
    INTRODUCTION | CHALLENGES | VISION, AIMS AND SPATIAL STRATEGY POLICIES | APPENDICES | SETTLEMENTS SETTLEMENT PROFILE INNERLEITHEN This profile should be read in conjunction with the relevant settlement map. DESCRIPTION Innerleithen is located in the Western Development Area as defined in the Strategic Development Plan. The town is located in the Northern Housing Market Area. Innerleithen is located almost 7 miles east of Peebles. The 2001 Census population was 2619. PLACE MAKING CONSIDERATIONS Innerleithen sits on a significant bend in the River Tweed at a point where the valley floor opens out into wide haughland, and the majority of the built up area of the town lies on this haughland. The entrances into the town are generally quite pleasing and there is a good integration with the adjoining landscape to the north due to the mature landscape framework. The River Tweed and the flood plain dominate the southern side of the village. The town developed in the late 18th century on the development of the textile industry and the publication in the early 19th century of Sir Walter Scott’s St Ronan’s Wells, which extolled the restorative qualities of the spring waters. At this time the High Street was developed but it was not until the end of that century that the major expansion of the settlement occurred extending behind the High Street to the south and to the south east beyond the Leithen Water. Another major expansion also occurred after the 2nd World War with a major public housing scheme in the east towards the former Pirn House. Recently new residential development within the settlement has taken place to the north in the vicinity of Kirklands and it is in this area where future development is expected to take place.

  • Vale of Leithen V Selkirk; Scottish Cup Second Round Replay; Res: 5-1; Att: 150; Admission: £5; Programme: £1 (12Pp); FGIF Match Rating: ***
    TT1213-39 TT No.39: Andy Gallon - Sat 6th October 2012; Vale of Leithen v Selkirk; Scottish Cup Second Round Replay; Res: 5-1; Att: 150; Admission: £5; Programme: £1 (12pp); FGIF Match Rating: ***. Pub quizmasters (blokes usually, aren’t they?) owe Scottish football a debt of gratitude. Without it, or more accurately the romantic naming predilections of its clubs, there would be no questions of the ‘in which town do Albion Rovers play?’ and ‘whose home games are staged in Perth?’ variety. This arcane form of sporting geography-cum-history has tickled me endlessly since I was old enough to listen to BBC Radio’s second reading of the classified football results. Never the first: invariably, Dad and I were at a game and therefore in no position to catch the initial run-through at five o’clock. Doing ‘The 42’ (which, with revisits for various new grounds, took me between 1985 and 2009) north of the border was a great thrill. Believe me, there’s untold pleasure to be had from Saturday evenings in the company of James Alexander Gordon, smiling to oneself as his familiar sing-song delivery reaches the lower reaches of the Scottish Football League and thinking ‘East Fife? Yeah, I know all about them’. In a strange way, it’s like a confirmation of adulthood. Some would say it’s exactly the opposite! My exposure to Scottish non-league football is much more limited, but sufficient to know the founding fathers of its clubs suffered from the same affliction when it came to choosing names.

    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).
