About
The Berwickshire Civic Society is a charitable amenity group founded under the chairmanship of Earl Haig in the early 1970’s. It campaigns for the protection and enhancement of both the built and natural environment and has achieved many notable successes.
The Society’s volunteer Planning Adviser is consulted by the Scottish Borders Council on a number of planning applications each year. Members can seek advice from them on design, conservation and development matters.

- To encourage the preservation, development and improvement of features of general public amenity or historic interest.
