Closure of last Borders road policing department a 'sad day' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A former police chief has criticised the withdrawal of the last remaining traffic officers based in the Scottish Borders. For the first time in almost six decades no dedicated patrols will operate out of the region - which has about 2,000 miles (3,200km) of public roads. Police Scotland said the relocation of traffic officers to neighbouring Midlothian would not have any impact on patrols. However, Brian Jones, vice-chair of the Police Federation, said it had happened without any consultation. H

Read excerpt
An archaeological dig is hoping to uncover more secrets from a farming enclosure older than Stonehenge, which was first spotted from the sky as crop marks in the 1970s. Earlier surveys on grazing fields near the village of Sprouston in the Borders have identified buildings and ditches believed to date from early Neolithic times all the way through to the medieval period. The possibility of locating the world's northernmost causeway-accessed Stone Age settlement is exciting experts the most. Arch
Developers drop Teviot wind farm bid near Hawick ahead of inquiry (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Developers have dropped plans for what would have been one of the biggest wind farms in the Borders just a few weeks before a public inquiry was set to start. Muirhall Energy had wanted to put up 52 turbines - of up to 240m (790ft) in height - on hills to the south of Hawick. Scottish Borders Council (SBC) objected to the Teviot scheme and the Scottish government's planning and environmental appeals division had begun preparations for the inquiry to be held. Campaigners have voiced their relief
