  • Border Brains Walks Berwickshire Border Brains Walks Introduction
    Border Brains Walks Berwickshire Border Brains Walks Introduction Welcome to Border Brains Walks: your free guide to exploring the lives and ideas of the Berwickshire geniuses David Hume, James Hutton, Duns Scotus, James Small and Alexander Dow, in the beautiful landscape that gave them birth. The world’s great minds have given us many good reasons to step outside for a walk and a think. Walking was William Hazlitt’s university: “Give me the clear blue sky over my head, and the green turf beneath my feet, a winding road before me, and a three hours’ march to dinner – and then to thinking!” wrote the essayist in On Going a Journey. Berwickshire’s own David Hume, the philosopher, successfully petitioned Edinburgh Town Council to create on Calton Hill Britain’s first recreational walk, entirely dedicated to the public’s healthy pursuits and living. “A circulatory foot road,” he argued, “would present strangers with the most advantageous views of the city … and contribute not only to the pleasure and amusement, but also to the health of the inhabitants of this crowded city.” In this urgent age, we must work hard to find spaces of time to walk or ride a horse or bicycle, to gather our wits and sense our passage over the earth. According to an Arab proverb, the human soul can only travel as fast as a camel can trot. “Modern travelling is not travelling at all,” thought the poet and artist John Ruskin: “it is merely being sent to a place, and very little different from becoming a parcel.

  • Cockburnspath
    SETTLEMENT PROFILE COCKBURNSPATH This profile should be read in conjunction with the relevant settlement map. DESCRIPTION Cockburnspath is located just over 13 miles from Duns. The population of Cockburnspath according to the 2001 Census was 412. It is located outwith the Strategic Development Areas (SDA) as identified in the SESplan. PLACE MAKING CONSIDERATIONS Cockburnspath overlooks the North Sea, and the Berwickshire Coast Special Landscape Area. The settlement has grown outward to the south-west from the market square and old ‘Mercat’ cross. The village has developed on a south-west facing slope and as a result development off Hoprig Road, which winds through the village, is on different levels. In the last 20 years the settlement has expanded northward with a modern housing development at Toll View/Lady Hall. The Conservation Area covers the historic core of the settlement and there are many distinctive townscape characteristics that provide a sense of place. Properties range from single storey outbuildings that line the east side of the Kirkyard, to storey and a half, and two storeys around The Square. The use of building materials, such as sandstone, harling, pantiles and slate, and architectural details such as transom lights, sash and case windows, and bay windows all add to the character. Any new development must aim to positively contribute to the Conservation Area. There are seven Listed Buildings within the Conservation Area of which three are category ‘A’. Cockburnspath has two existing housing allocations which have not yet been developed and as a result there is no land further allocated in this Local Development Plan (LDP).

  • Launch of the James Hutton Trail in the Scottish Borders by Mike
    C:\Documents and Settings\adixon\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\7NFVY2G5\maebEdited Launch of the James Hutton Trail.doc Launch of the James Hutton Trail in the Scottish Borders By Mike Browne & Jim Floyd British Geological Survey & Lothian and Borders RIGS Group On the morning of 23 rd May, The Borders Foundation for Rural Sustainability, launched their Scottish Borders James Hutton Trail and the permanent James Hutton Exhibition at the Reiver Farm Shop at Auchencrow near Reston in Berwickshire. With local television and national press coverage, the exhibition and trail were opened by the inimitable Professor Aubrey Manning. This substantial interpretive project has been long awaited by many keen to see the life and work of the ‘father of modern geology’ being celebrated and interpreted in his local area, and at the locations in the Borders made famous by his brilliant geological insights. The project has produced a series of interpretive panels with an accompanying trail leaflet and a developing web site (www.james- hutton.org.uk). One of the panels is at Hutton’s farm at Slighhouses Farm south of Grantshouse, with another at its old marl pit, where Hutton extracted marl in effort at agricultural improvements on the farm. A board has also been placed at his hill farm at Nether Monynut in the Lammermuir Hills. Another panel is located above the classic unconformity section at Siccar Point, a site long overdue for interpretation. For those of us who have long thought access was difficult even to the top of the 60 m high steep and grassy bank above the internationally famous Siccar Point, there is now a way-marked trail to the site from the lane leading to Drysdale’s Turnip Factory, the former access route to Siccar.
