Wind farm approved after appeal-Hawick News
Exclusive: UN ruling puts future of UK wind farms in jeopardy Tribunal warns that the Government acted illegally by denying public participation, Tuesday 27 August 2013 19:54 BST
The United Nations Economic Commission Europe has declared that the UK flouted Article 7 of the Aarhus Convention, which requires full and effective public participation on all environmental issues and demands that citizens are given the right to participate in the process.
When James VI of Scotland, became James I of England, indigenous populations of Armstrong, and Ellot and other reivers were genocide by living in the borderlands, which were being cleared to make way for a Middleshires.
The Elwalds and Armstrangs did convene;
They were a gallant companie—
“We‘ll ride and meit our lawful king,
And bring him safe to Gilnockie.”
The La Mancha Project chases windmills, near ones own ancestral land of Gorrenberry, with help of the highlander Clan MacGregor, Clan Armstrong, Clan Crozier, Hermitage Action Group, the bauld Buccleuch and the minerals man of Buccleach Estates, and many others, which believe in chasing wind mills, and knocking them, or keeping them down from places the do not belong such as in the ancestral lands of descendents of many a border reiver, no manner how notorious they may be. Like knock them down at Fallago Rigg Windfarm of North British Windpower, where Cessford, Ferniehirst, and the second husband of Redheugh (MI6), used corporation tactics of North British Windpower, and English MI6 military tactics, in a sense of Adolf Hitler of Germany to supersede the major of border constituency. Process is that proper procedure is first use, and the wind farm is rejected, with the majority of disapproving it, then it is put in appeal, Scottish politicians paid off, with MI6 tactics used to control the media.
Windy Edge Wind Farm, where Windy Edge is not a name people know, and is an obscure nearby location, the name should have been of a nearby location, if properly named it would have been called THE HERMITAGE CASTLE WIND FARM. Can anyone possibly think who choose the name. Was it choose by the industrial wind turbine industry, or by the local people.
Who does the the Scottish Government listen to it’s people or the government of England? Which likely does not want the concentration of wind farms as found in the Middle Shires, and the international with makes like Scottish, in North British Windpower NBW, and Muirhall. Who do you think the employees of North British Windpower NBW are working for anyway. If they are not listening to the people of Scotland getting wind farms which have been turned down by a majority, which on appeal a single reporter, which may not even know the landholders, like certified surveyor Richard Scott of Buccleuch Estate, which has promoted wind farms, but opposes THE HERMITAGE CASTLE WIND FARM as WINDY EDGE, and the historic lands with Clan Ell(i)ot, chief Martin, as next brother filling in for his death lived on.
Though the UK Armstrong are riding against, over the centuries it is felt that the UK Elliot, with their inserted “i” have became the English Eliot, with a single “l”, of Breton, with strong support of the English corporate ways, and James I, of England, and his Middle Shires, that the are at the disposal of the Kingdom of England and the puppet Kingdom of Scotland. So it is felt that the traditional allies of the UK the UK Elliot are standing with Cessford, Ferniehirst, the second husband of Redheugh. Can not call them traitors can I? Like I can not call Clan UK Armstrong, Clan MacGregor, Buccleuch, and Northumberland heroes, can I?
Muirhall has not been approved to build Windy Edge Wind Farm like Infinis
Infinis was approve on appeal, by the Scottish Government, by their showing their knowledge unlike Richard Scott of Buccluech Estates a certified land surveyor, who is pro-wind farms but much against Windy Edge Wind Farm, they picked a government reporter, where one reporter thought Richard Scott of Buccleuch owned the land showing how qualified reporters are in land management, and how knowledgeable the Scottish Government is on managing wind farms. Can anyone understand this stand if the Scottish Government is being paid by the Wind Farm Industry to place electric turbines next to historical ancestral archaeological structures, representing the heritage of the UK’s children, and their children of generations to come.
Muirhall is said to be a “Scottish” firm, like North British Windpower NBW who were approved after rejection on appeal, also like Infinis not Muirhall was approved for building Windy Edge Windy Farm.

Application approval to increase height is a way around trying to show that they are approved. Only wind farm corporate industrially paid government officials would approve or disapprove height increase. This action of not requiring Muirhall approval on Windy Edge Wind Farm, identifies the Scottish governmental wind industry paid for governmental employees. Only employees which would require Muirhall approval with a majority, not a single individual, on Windy Edge (Hermitage Castle) wind farm are the Scottish government employees which are not being paid by the wind farm industry.

Windy Edge wind farm scheme rejected
29 June 2015 BBC
From the section South Scotland
Wind turbines
Councillors have refused plans for a wind farm south of Hawick due to concerns over its landscape impact.
Infinis UK wanted to put up nine turbines in the Windy Edge project north of Hermitage Castle.
The project had attracted more than 300 letters of opposition, along with more than 100 in support of the scheme.
Planning officials recommended refusal, saying it would be “incongruous and anachronistic”. Councillors voted by six to two to reject the proposals.
Supporters of the scheme claimed the turbines would have less of an impact on the landscape than forestry, and that it would help combat climate change.
Opponents believed there would be adverse visual impacts on areas like Hermitage Castle and the wider landscape.

Though the Elliot Clan, does not seem to know where Braidley is;
Elwald of the region in 1516;
Elwald of the region in 1541;
Another reference to above;
Feel that for Mosspatrickhoopswyne?; it could be a variant of MakPatrikhope/MacPatrickhope. Where “Mac Patrick” means; “son of” and “hope” means “valley”. It should be noted that the land of Archibald Douglas V earl of Angus, known as; “Bell the Cat”, transferred his land to Boswell, a Patrick Hepburn, and is is felt that this valley first known as MacPatrickhope was named after the son of Patrick Hepburn. It latter became known as “Broadleehope”, which means; “on the leeward side the valley is broad”, and by looking at contours it shows it to be such. The “Broadlee” became known as “Braidley” and this became known as “Braidleyhope”, and now “Braidley Burn”, the region which Infinis on Hermitage Castle hill is proposing a wind farm, which will vandalized the terrain in a manner which tourist from aboard which consider the Hermitage Castle as their ancestral homeland will not want to visit.
Note; on map Broadlee and a misplace but only hill recognized in region is Hermitage Hill, and that is why I feel lawis; of the hill refers to Hermitage Hill.
Soundhope in relation to Redheuch/Redheugh;
Note old form of names; Armstong, Nixon, Nenderson, Forest, and Crozier associate to Elwald (Ellot/Elliot).
It should be noted;foresta; a patch of trees; a park.
The Elliot Clan Society does not seem to recognize Martin of Braidley or the Elwald line. To build Wind Mills on the site would be another way in which the Elliot Clan Society would not recognize Martin Ellot clan leader of Braidley or the Elwald line.
Protect the ancestral lands, ride with the Armstrong, save Goranberry/Braidley from windmills, and help bring Cowie back.

Heritage agency slams castle turbine scheme – The Southern Reporter

By Another Name
Do not care what Infinis calls it. It is still is; The Proposed Hermitage Hill Wind Farm.
Infinis knows it is trampling on sacred ground by putting wind turbines on Hermitage Hill, above Hermitage Castle, so they want to call it by another name. It is because they do not want the United Kingdom to know that the wind farm is on the hill just north of Hermitage Castle.
Feel Infinis is like a brush salesman, sticking the foot into the door. If a wind farm is on Hermitage Hill becomes a reality, then it is a roll over on the sites protected by the United Kingdom’s gentry. Who will stand up for what gentry have been doing in protecting United Kingdom’s antiquities over the centuries?
So Infinis does not call it The Proposed Hermitage Hill Wind Farm. If they were an honest corporation that is what it would be called.
Though tidal, and wind are sources of energy centuries old, Infinis uses wind which destroys the antiquities of the United Kingdom, in a manner of which people from the English Plantations, will not return their ancestral lands, and likely given the cost of travel will choose to travel to other nations.
The antiquities of the United Kingdom are already depleting, so does it matter if it happens to one more? This time it needs to be stopped at the border.
Traced my family from New Mexico to the Scotland. Family hadn’t lived in Scotland for four centuries. When the family left, it seemed to be in support Buccleach, and the Armstrong Clan, which are supporting the Hermitage (note; yes they do use the name Hermitage, unlike Infinis) Action Group.
There was even an early pairing of Mark Ellot on The Hill. Got hung for stealing sheep, though.
The Hill is The Hermitage Hill, and The Proposed Hermitage Wind Farm needs to be stopped.

Been trying for years to get Braidley located by the Elliot Clan Society it’s proper location between Gorrenberry and The Hermitage Castle. Now that I am riding with the Armstrongs, and Buck (Buccleauch), it is felt I found the answer why the Elliot Clan Society is not willing to move Martin’s Braidley to it’s proper locality.
Though the Elliot Clan say Braidley is in Treviodale, it is in Liddesdale, near Gorrenberry;
6/6/2018 Note; Above, Martin Ellot of the, not just of , Braidley, though I do concur he owned land in Teviotdale, likely acquired by Gavin the Clark (clerk baillie to Bothwell), as acting chief, he lived on Bothwell, becoming Buccleuch land just east of the Hermitage Castle referred to by the Anglo name Broadlee, which is a -hope (valley), broad on the leeward (east side), renamed Braidley/Braidlie which Martin on Bothwell lease was of the Braidley, not of. Early names for Old and New Bradley, would be Lawis Over (Superior), and Nether (Inferior), where Hermitage Hill was to the east containing Amton Fell, made up of to mounds called laws. So Lawis Jok (John),would be from this region, near The Hermitage Castle.
Martin’s Braidley is high (north) in Liddesdale on land from the Armstrong’s Whitehaugh Tower north to the Hermitage (Armytage) Castle.
The reason The Elliot Clan Society does not want to support moving Braidley to the locality it should be located at because they support the propose INFINIS wind farm which will vandalize the Hermitage Castle.
Christopher Powell Wilkins is the husband to the clan chief.
As one can see he has an Redheugh, Newcastleton, Roxburghshire, plus a lot of connections to many a wind farm company.
One can see he has links to MI6 and likely a knowledge of covert activities.
One can see also that a lot of aristocracy a putting money, and may be more power from that money a head of land protection. It should be noted that the Buccleuch family has been providing and today in going up against the Infinis proposed wind farm on Hermitage Castle Hill are still providing protection for the Hermitage Castle and it’s surrounding, so people like myself who may want to visit Scotland their family homeland from across the sea will not have there homeland desecrated by electric power wind turbines.
It should be noted that even the Prince of Wales, does not want to have a small wind turbine near him in the month of August.

Some thoughts;
Previous to Robert of Redheugh becoming infeft; a landholder; Buccleuch took stewardardship, of the Armstrong land of Mangerton; which Redheugh was part of. That is why the Armstrong were not there when Robert of Redheugh was infeft. William Elwald of Gorrenberry was there when Robert became infeft. Land north of Redheugh (of the forest a region called Schawis), and west of Hermitage (of the hill Lawis), the William of Gorrenberry family is my family, which became of Horsliehill.
Maggie daughter of Arthur Eliott, of Stobs and Redheugh, was of the Gilbert Ellot line. Gilbert was born of Redheugh, but ended up as stepson of Gavin of Baillee and Stobs, and his wife a Jean Scot.
It is said that Gilbert was married to a Scot. Jean Scot wife first of Robert of Redheugh then the second wife of Gavin of Stobs. There is a chance since Gilbert is not a Redheugh name, a name from the region I refer to as Schawis between the Hermitage and Redheugh, in a region of The Barony of Cavers, like Braidley of between Gorrenberry and Hermitage Castle, that he may be the biological son of Gavin of Stobs.
Gilbert being not of the first child of Redheugh, and much lower in the line would not have been next in line to be the clan chief. It is felt that being strongly tied to the Buccleuch, line which was starting about the same time that Buccleuch and the Gilbert line had it’s start. With Gilbert not being of the first son of Redheugh, he need some tutoring. The Gorrenberry/Horsleyhill line was well tutored among the family, and many became Baillees of Shelkirk, so they are recorded in giving tutoring to Gilbert and his oldest William.
Gilbert rode with the Buccleuch Scots during what is known as the Ellot/Scot fued towards the end of the seventeenth century, and my family of Gorrenberry rode with Martin Ellot of Braidley next to Gorrenberry. To the Ulster Plantation Ellot and Armstrong would not utilize the names Gilbert or Walter.
The resettled Ellot of Ulster are not of gentry, like the Gilbert line, more like the notorious thief of Liddesdale; Clementis Hob, or likely the Cowie of Gorrenberry. We were not exactly liked by the Gilbert line. It is unlikely that the Gilbert line would use the names Martin and Andrew. This may be why the Gilbert line does not locate Braidley of Martin Ellot, between Goranberry, and the Hermitage Castle, and the Gilbert line also does not seem to recognize the people of Gorrenberry.
It should be noted that Gilbert line which is now of the chief line of the Elliot Clan. The Armstrong Clan has no chief. This is felt because of a difference in Norman and Scandinavian characteristics. One philosophy, is one of expertise, or a given strata level within a social structure, the other is a pitch in philosophy where the collective would end up with the best response. One is more gentry the other more reiver. It is up to the reader to figure out which is which.
For a reiver society with individual self directives to exist, it seem that the reiver when need will utilize individuals to deal with a stratified society such as a corporate society which is trying to intrude with wind farms, so the reivers are dependent on land stewardship, it may also be an example of governments securing land for particular groups. If this stewardship is secure then the reivers will support the one securing the land, which they share.
The Hermitage Castle Hill Infinis wind farm will affect the economy of Newcastleton and Hawick. Hawick more than those of The Hermitage Action Group seem to make their voices heard as being opposed to the Hermitage Hill Wind Farm (no manner what Infinis calls it).
Economically, Hawick is more dependent on not having wind mills on Hemitage Hill then any other community, and any money they may receive from Infinis is a payoff.
It should be noted that across the Scottish Boarder it seems that the Kerr, Scott, Hume, Rutherford, and Armstrong are beginning to work together to get this Hermitage Castle Hill wind farm stopped, and want to thank them in protecting a historical antiquity on the border, which is the symbolic homeland of the ancestral homeland of there ancestors which in some cases were resettled throughout the world.
To put a wind farm on Hermitage Castle Hill, would be telling these resettled boarder descendants they are no longer welcome in their Scottish homeland. These people are of great numbers throughout the world.
Mark Elliott 6/1/2014
The name Elwald was a “red herring,” which has distracted us from knowing the true epic nature of the history of the originally Breton Elliots, who WERE related to the St Germans Eliots, whose ancestors WERE among the 1000 Bretons at Hastings in 1066, and who, like many Anglo or Scots-Breton settlers were tagged as “Brito” in charters etc., who were late to take surnames, and who mostly took new names, like the common name Elwald, found throughout England. The Elliots of England, Wales, the Marcher counties and under William I The Lion, were mercenaries and soldiers of fortune. As one generation gained feudal tenure, the younger generation went off to fight and find their own patrimonies. William I had Breton knights in his jousting team. They started off repelling Viking invaders in the 8th and 9th century, in Brittany, with the aid of the English king Athelstan, and became knights in what in modern terms we would call a “family business” of exporting military skills, as mounted men at arms, skilled in the tactics which enabled them to defeat and expel the Vikings. We even know who led them, Brian Count of Penthievre who was given Cornwall, and Judicael, viscount of the Halgoet, the name from which Elliot and many other variants was derived. It means the people of the Saughtree, would you believe! Judicael became lord of Totnes in Devon, not far from the original Eliot settlement. The Eliots ( of all spellings!!!) then followed William fitzOsbern in his conquest of south Wales, and spread up the old marcher counties, where clusters of Eliots live to this day. The variants, Ellet, Elwett, Eligott, Ellacott and Dalliot (d’Alliot) are all exact phonetic spellings of the Breton names Elgoet, Ellet ( found today in Brittany) and Elouet ( pronounced just like Elwet, one of the variants named by George Elliot in 1897). The new name Elwald did not sit well with these proud people, one minute they would give the name, and another they would use Ellot. A contemporary record speaks of the Elwalds of Liddesdale and the Ellot gang at Gorrenberry. Another time, the latter are Elwalds, and Reddheugh is an Ellot. Elwald would have ended up as a hated English name, while knightly families were fiercely proud of their Breton origins. Interesting to speculate whether it was Douglas who pressed the name on them, when they arrived in Liddesdale not speaking a word of English. But speculation as the the exact circumstances of the acquisition of this new native name is pointless. The name was Ellot/Elliot all along, from the 8th century and perhaps before right through to now. So pervasive was the feudal settlement of Normans, Bretons, Picards and Flemings in Angus, that the name was always going to be found among them. All that was needed was the digital revolution with access to French – Breton records of births, deaths and marriages.
