Another favourite image from my 30+ year photographic career. Continuing with UK landscape, this is looking North along the coast from St Abb's Head in Berwickshire, Scotland.

This is the logo of #DunsPlayfest an annual festival of #Theatre focused #NewWriting held at the beginning of May in the #Berwickshire town of #Duns in the #ScottishBorders. Established in 2019 by the #CommunityTheatre group #DunsPlayers but now attracting professional, student and other amateur companies and performers, including #Dance #LiveMusic and #Poetry as well as #Theatre from #Berwick #Northumberland #Edinburgh and beyond. New works premiered at our festival have gone on to be toured elsewhere including #EdinburghFringe.

Berwickshire High School has a remarkable music department. Last term was a brilliant production of Chicago, followed 2 weeks later with a Christmas concert. This Burns concert is a new venture and will feature a wide range of soloists and ensembles from across the school. They always present a good show with impressive young talent to the extent that locals with no connection with the school are also regularly in the audience.

Looking forward to tomorrow for the first reading of two brand new plays that Duns Players hope to perform at Duns Playfest in May. One is a Wilson's tale, the other a local reworking of Dylan Thomas's 'Under Milkwood'.

Found Melrose kirk session minutes at ScotlandsPeople include lists of schoolmasters 1768-1854 parish by parish in Presbytery of Chirnside. Whole bunch of Berwickshire places!

John Lamont won #Berwickshire with a majority 1 shy of 6600 ahead of the SNP on a 61% turnout.

That was an increase in majority of 451 but a drop of 10.5% in turnout.

The south of Scotland is clearly overrun by economic migrants crossing the Tweed to take advantage of all the benefits the #SNP has introduced here.
