The Berwickshire Civic Society is a charitable amenity group founded under the chairmanship of Earl Haig in the early 1970s. 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 on design, conservation and development matters.

Objectives:

• To promote and encourage the following objects by charitable means, but not otherwise:
• To stimulate public interest in, and care for the beauty, history and character of the County of Berwickshire.
• To encourage the preservation, development and improvement of features of general public amenity or historic interest.
• To encourage high standards of architecture and town and country planning in Berwickshire and comment on plans of the Local Authority.
