The Scottish Iron Age provides rich data of international quality to link into broader, European-wide research questions, such as that from wetlands and the well-preserved and deeply-stratified settlement sites of the Atlantic zone, from crannog sites and from burnt-down buildings. The nature of domestic architecture, the movement of people and resources, the spread of ideas and the impact of Rome are examples of topics that can be explored using Scottish evidence. The period is therefore important for understanding later prehistoric society, both in Scotland and across Europe. There is a long tradition of research on which to build, stretching back to antiquarian work, which represents a considerable archival resource.

Introduction 1.1 This Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) has been produced to incorporate the review and update of Local Landscape Designations in the Scottish Borders into the Council’s planning policy framework. The current designations were made in the 1960s and they have little or no written justification. In the Local Plan Inquiry (18 January 2007) the Reporter stated that due to the length of time since designation and the increase in pressure from development, the Council should undertake a review of Local Landscape Designation areas where they would be desirable and appropriate. This requirement was incorporated into the adopted Local Plan (2008). 1.2 The lack of justification of the existing Local Landscape Designations in the Borders meant it was decided to undertake a complete re‐evaluation.
