Travel Guide

Fishermen's Shiel beside the Tweed 'Shiel' is the local name for the small huts or refuges, used in the days of salmon netting on the Tweed. The fishermen would wait in these shiels, for days if necessary, until the fish ran up the river, whereupon the nets would come out. It's all history now, as the conservation laws of the 1980s banned the historical netting practices of salmon in favour of the rod anglers' interests.

Winter crops, Paxton Land ploughed, cultivated and sown soon after harvest. Common practice especially in England, and catching on in Scotland, where most barley is still spring sown. Has an environmental cost - reduced winter food supplies for birds and I have seen terrible soil erosion in winter rains. Against this productivity is higher, with the added benefit of a July harvest.
