The Three Estates Walk
Selkirk Regeneration Company, the Haining Charitable Trust, Buccleuch Estates, and the Philiphaugh Trust have formed a partnership with the aim of constructing a shared use (walkers and cyclists) bridge over the Yarrow Water just above the Cauld.
The Three Estates Walk will give everyone wider access to enjoy the natural and cultural attractions of the Haining Estate, Bowhill House and Country Park, the Salmon Viewing Centre and Battle of Philiphaugh Interpretation.
The proposed bridge will link to the existing footbridge at Gilkeekit by contruction of a new path. The bridge will open up a wide range of existing routes allowing the general public to walk in a circle from Selkirk by way of the lower Yarrow and Ettrick valleys. The sketch below shows the proposed route.
In this first stage of the project we need to undertake a feasibility study and are looking for public support for this idea to enhance our applicaton for financial assistance from Scottish and Southern Energy through their Sustainable Development Fund.
The feasibility study will produce a detailed bill of quantities and a construction design, allowing us to take the project to the next stage.
If you feel that a footbridge across the Yarrow and a new section of walkway to Gilkeekit is a good idea, please show your support by signing our petition.
Thank you.
I support the idea of undertaking a feasibility study which will produce a detailed bill of quantities and a construction design, allowing Selkirk Regeneration Company the Haining Charitable Trust, Buccleuch Estates and the Philiphaugh Trust to take the project to the next stage.
