POLICY MAPS & SETTLEMENT PROFILES WITH MAPS LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN | SCOTTISH BORDERS COUNCIL | 189 SETTLEMENT PROFILE ALLANTON This profile should be read in conjunction with the relevant settlement map. 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.

  • Settlement Profile Jedburgh
    SETTLEMENT PROFILE JEDBURGH HOUSING MARKET AREA LOCALITY POPULATION Central Cheviot 4,030 PLACEMAKING CONSIDERATIONS The historic settlement of Jedburgh was built either side of the Jed Water which runs on a north-south axis, and is framed by Lanton Hill (280 metres) and Black Law (338 metres) to the west and south west and by lower more undulating hills to the east. The Conservation Area of Jedburgh includes much of the historic core of the town including the Abbey and the Castle Gaol. Similar to Edinburgh Old Town in its layout, Jedburgh has a long street that rises terminating with the castle at the highest point. The High Street is characterised by a mix of commercial, residential and social facilities, the central area is focused around where the Mercat Cross once sat with roads leading off in various directions. Properties within the Conservation Area are built in rows with some detached properties particularly along Friarsgate. Ranging from two to three and a half storeys in height, properties vary in styles. Although the elements highlighted above are important and contribute greatly to the character of Jedburgh they do not do so in isolation. Building materials and architectural details are also just as important. Sandstone, some whinstone, harling, and slate all help to form the character. Architectural details such as sash and case windows (though there are some unfortunate uPVC replacements), rybats, margins, detailed door heads above some entrances and in some instances pilasters all add to the sense of place. Any new development must therefore aim to contribute to the existing character of the Conservation Area.

    The Tall Ship Glenlee Large Print Guide This guide will follow the one-way system currently in place. The interpretation text for our two exhibitions are at the back of this guide. Please return this guide to the ticket pavilion at the end of your visit. Welcome Sign ‘Sail back in time’ Glenlee is a lucky ship. Once one of over 700 Clydebuilt steel barques, just five still remain. These ships carried cargoes over all of the world and overcame nature and mishaps alike. Like the ships of steel, the crew who sailed them were also made of stern stuff. Glenlee, like Cutty Sark, the only other square- rigged cargo vessel in the UK, survived by finding use as a training ship. Now returned to the Clyde, Glenlee is a museum ship representing Scotland and Glasgow’s shipbuilding heritage and maritime tradition. Step back in time and enjoy your visit. Forward Deckhouse ‘I heard the seas coming aboard in the forenoon and heard that Jock had got his bunk wet. I have had that experience on one or two occasions and find it rather unpleasant.’ Extract from the 1918 personal log of Ernest M Andersen, an apprentice on board this ship. Up to 16 men would eat, sleep and spend what little leisure time they had in this deckhouse. During their free time, sailors would play instruments, craft model ships, and play cards. Scrimshaw was also a popular pastime. This involved soaking a whale’s tooth, walrus tusk, or other bone in brine to soften it. It was then engraved using a sharp needle.
