  • St. Cuthbert's
    ST. CUTHBERT’S WAY Notes on multi-use access Starting at Melrose in the Scottish Borders and finishing at Holy Island, across the English border in Northumberland, St. Cuthbert’s Way is one of the most fulfilling of Scotland’s Great Trails. The route was originally designed and created for walkers, albeit incorporating some sections with a long tradition of equestrian use. Since then, access legislation has changed in Scotland, and interest from cyclists and horse-riders in using St. Cuthbert’s Way and other long distance routes has increased significantly. Many parts of St. Cuthbert’s Way are suitable for horse riders, but some sections are impassable with a horse, unsuitable for multi-use in wet weather, or on the English part of the route are legally recognised only as footpaths. These notes have been produced by British Horse Society (BHS) Scotland to help those interested in using part or all of St. Cuthbert’s Way identify location and brief details of features which may restrict multi-use of the waymarked route. Only those which may present an issue for experienced riders are noted below – shallow fords, bridges, cross drains, gates which can only be opened or closed if dismounted, rough ground, sheep and cattle are all part of riding off-road and so are not documented. Inclusion of a particular feature does not necessarily mean that it is impassable with a horse. Photos have been included where appropriate to help you assess for yourself whether a feature such as steps, a narrow footbridge, gate or gap less than 1.5m wide may present an obstruction to you.

As the world staggers through the alphabet of humanitarian crisis, from Australia to Zimbabwe, the generous goodwill of the people of the Scottish Borders is a shining light in the darkness. Locally, 2008’s Christian Aid Week – in spite of deepening financial pessimism – raised over £3,000. In offering grateful thanks to all who made this possible, I appeal for additional volunteers to collect door- to-door this year, in the hope – yes, and prayerful expectation – that, together, we will take one more step to Make Poverty History.

BY ALEXANDER JEFFREY, AUTHOR or "GUIDE TO THE ANTIQUITIES OF THE BOEDER," ic. ^ccontJ (Soitton. IN TWO VOLUMES. VOL. L J E'D B U R G H WALTER EASTON, ABBEY-PLACE. JEDBVRGII: rKI.STKT) UT W.r.A?TO>-. PREFACE. The design of the present Work is to convey to the public, within a reasonable compass, all the information I have been enabled to gather, during a period of twentj-five years, in relation to the History and Antiquities of Roxburghshire and adjacent Districts. Since the publication of the First Edition,, in 1836, the Work has been entirely re-written, and, with the exception of i. small portion of the descriptions of the Abbeys in Teviotdale, no part of the Contents of the present Volume were included in that edition. It may, there- fore, with truth, be stated to be an entirely New Work. No pains have been spared by me to obtain correct information in I'egard to the subjects treated of. Added to the know- ledge which a long residence in the district necessarily gives, I have specially visited every spot of interest, and examined for myself all the remains of a bye-gone age within the localities referred to. The works of all those who have previously laboured in the same field I have carefully con- sulted, and, while making a free use of their views when I thought them right, I have not scrupled to express an oppo- site opinion when I thought they had been led into error.
