Windmills threaten an ancient border fortress
Fears about a proposed wind farm
6:59AM BST 05 Oct 2011
SIR – For centuries Hermitage Castle has guarded the Scottish Borders. Once the home of the 4th Earl of Bothwell, second husband of Mary Queen of Scots, the castle stands on the banks of Hermitage Water surrounded by a wild landscape that has remained unchanged for hundreds of years.
Its solitary grandeur and romantic history make it one of the most visited sites in the south of Scotland. But all this is about to change if current plans come to fruition. A proposal has been submitted to the Scottish Borders Council for the Windy Edge wind farm – 20 wind turbines within a short distance of the castle. These windmills, 125 metres tall, will destroy the castle’s romantic setting, forever changing visitors’ perception of it. While some short-term jobs may be created in the construction of the wind farm,
the overall effect will be to reduce employment in the area as tourists will have less reason to visit the castle.
There is no doubt that Britain needs alternative sources of energy, but to erect windmills here would be to commit cultural vandalism. To build a wind farm within sight and sound of a historically important and well-preserved 15th-century castle would set a terrible precedent.
No historic building would be safe from the threat of wind farms being built adjacent to it.
(safe from; THE march of wind turbines across the UK and Scotland…Scottish ministers have failed to protect people…)

…BBC newsreader Fiona Armstrong who told us: Yes, I know of this story and having filmed at Hermitage many times I would not like to see a wind farm there. With the Clan Armstrong Trust, I set up the Reiver Trail five years ago and that takes in Hermitage. Many people use the trail, especially from abroad when they come to trace their borderland roots, and I fear a wind farm will not add to the magic of the area. ….am not against wind farms per se – although I do have some doubts about their efficiency – but they have to be situated in the right place.

Ask yourself who gets to pocket the wind farm money, and who gets to pocket the tourist money.
PRICELESS AND IRREPLACEABLE
It is insulting to be offered a wind turbine industry pay out, which allows destruction of the environment of an iconic, ancestral, archaeological, historic border structure, The Hermitage Castle.
Money for The Hermitage Castle, runs along side Americans, paying money for land the Indians did not want to sell in the first place. It is to help relieve the consciousness, of a corrupt government.

ELLIOT WHO TOOK ON BOTHWELL
The Southern Reporter Published Date: Monday 06 July 2009
By Walter Elliot
My own theory is that we have been here in the Northumbrian/ Borders region since Anglo-Saxon settlers came across from northern Germany in the 5th to 8th centuries. I base this on the fact that most of the 36 early ways of spelling the name are Anglo-Saxon — Aelwold, Ellwald, Elaund, Elwaird etc. The name continued written as ‘Elwalde’ with its variations into the 1500s when it became Elyot, Eliot and Ellote. There are no recognisable Gaelic spellings and only one Dalliot. I rest my case, but everybody will continue to believe as they wish anyway.

Translated response; Keith Elliot Hunter – Clan Elliot Historian
The results of the Elliot DNA Project show that the Elliot are of Celtic-Breton origin. The name is the result of the ‘deformation by francization’ of the oldest Breton name Elegoët, which is itself a variant of the name Halegouët or Halgoët, the other variants are Allegouet, Elegouet, Alleouet, Elleouet, Helliot, Aliot etc. The Alliott and Allott variants are mainly found in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Lancashire. All Elliot (Eliot, Eliott or Elliott) are the descendants of the Breton mercenaries who participated in the conquest of England by William the conqueror, Duke of Normandy, in 1066.
Scot’s Ellot plus i becomes Elliot;
Many Elliot, came from Anglia, to the Anglo-Scots border. The ones which came from Anglia with the name Elwald were Anglo-Saxon.
Kjerr in Norwegian means thicket.
The Elwald are the elk(moose), of the forest(wood) and the Kerr are the elk(moose), of the thickets; the marsh dwellers. The Elwald went from Denmark/Germany to East Anglia, UK, the Kerr went from Germany to Norway to Normandy, then to UK. They split about at the Danish-German border and came back together again in the UK. It should be noted that indigenous names which have been Anglicized, have names which originated from animals in their environment, it is most likely that some early European names would also originate from names for animals. Wolf is one which has come from Germany, traveled through England and onto America, likely first as a personal name then becoming a surname.
(note; chief’s husband had been and maybe still is corporate executive in wind farm industry, and MI6, so changes made after the proposed HERMITAGE CASTLE wind farm, known in obscurity as WINDY EDGE, on the Border Elliot(t) History are unreliable)
It should be noted that after The Hermitage Castle (Windy Edge) wind farm had ben proposed, historians, exception of Jackson W. Armstrong, Walter Elliot, and Sir Arthur Elliot, and extermination of the Elwald name appears, in such a manner which governmental historian would try to exterminate the history of a family group. This was propagated by the proposed Hermitage Castle (Windy Edge) wind farm on Elwald into Ellot into Elliot into Elliott history. For historians, not Eliott, Elliot, or Elliott to say a well researched line by highly established Sir Arthur Eliott of Redheugh-Stobs, and Border Historian Walter Elliot of Selkirk, by border Scottish historians, not of the Eliott, Elliot, or Elliott, is a way to try to place a barricade to the extending of the Elliott to Elliot to Ellot to Elwald, back into time beyond Border Pacification with the Angus-Scottish name; Ellot, and the era of Anglo-Saxon Scots Border with the Saxon name Elwald.
Saxon-Danish border reivers are unruly so they do not have rulers. Ælfweald for weald, likely had and umlaut ä as in bär, which is pronounce the same but spelled bear. The ea spelling is used to distinguish it from the Danish æ.
Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/walþuz
The R-U106 Y-DNA, which I carry is said to be; Proto-Germanic.
The name Elwald is Saxon. To exterminate the name Elwald is to exterminate me, and that is genocide. Therefore since the Scottish historians, are trying to do just that I am not Scottish, but a Borderer of the Middle March Clans; Armstrong, Elwald-Elliot, Nixon, and Crozier, an Anglo-Saxon-Germanic.
Dedicate the above to a couple of Ulster-Episcopalian-Anglicans, which arrived in Boston, MA. First Daniel Elliot County Fermanagh, of the Daniel Elliot Cluster about 1650, who I descend from, and about 300 years later, a John Elliott, County Donegal descendant of James V. Elliott which set up the;
Elliott (And Border Reivers) DNA Project
Wood as in Birnam Wood, is a region of trees, smaller than a forest, sometimes referred to as a park or a grove. So Elwald, where wald means wood, became Elwood, (Clan Ellwood, seems to agree; that this is the way their name had been derived; that Clan Ellwood is derived from Elwold to Elwood, also especially in the region of Cumbria/Cumberland.

Dan the Cowie would go down to Gorrenberry, bordering Liddesdale Braidley on the west, which bordered the Hermitage Castle on the west, to visit his second son Clementis Hobs (Robert Ellot), it was this Cowie which the family kept hidden because he was a fugitive, which became The Cowie of Gorrenberry. Father, likely step-father to Gilbert, Gavin the Baillie for Bothwell, which the name land name Bailliellie is from, son likely Gavin the Clark (clerk). Son Dan the Cow was Burgess to Selkirk. Clementis Hobs (Robert Elliott), first son Robert, second son Andrew referred to as Dan in Gorrenberry, Scotland, and Daniel in Tullykelter, Co Fermanagh, Ulster, Ireland. Daniel of Tullykelter, had a son named Robert with sons Robert and Daniel, of the New England Colonies.
Can not help it if people feel that the last of the Gorrenberry Elliot, died off with Adam Elliot of 1682, when there were Gorrenberry Elliot, living in New England at that time.

Complaints to UNECE: Why the Scottish and UK windfarm policy should be tested in a court of law? Posted August 3, 2014
THE march of wind turbines across the UK and Scotland can be challenged in the courts on the grounds that Scottish ministers have failed to protect people who live in their shadow as a result of the rulings by UNECE meeting of parties (Mops).
The ruling by the UN committee, which also criticized the UK’s failure to give people the necessary information about the benefits or negative impacts of turbines, could call into question the legal validity of future wind farms unless Government policy is changed.

In 1531, when he felt that the Borders were becoming even more fractious than usual, James V took 10,000 soldiers south to sort things out. Johnnie Armstrong, son of the chief and the most successful reiver of his time, collected 36 of his followers – including some Elliots – who put on their best clothes and jingled their way to meet with the king, under safe conduct, to ask for pardons for past misdeeds. The king expected humble supplicants for his favour and did not approve of their arms, their arrogant postures and lack of humility. So he hanged them without trial. It was little wonder Borderers showed scant respect for lawful authority. Later in the century the most influential of the Liddesdale leaders was Martin Elliot of Braidley (between Gorrenberry and The Hermitage Castle).

It is only a corrupted government following that of James VI of Scotland, to genocide the border people, to further do so by building a wind farm in the vicinity of The Hermitage Castle. The Middle Shires after the genocide, was set aside and protected in the same fashion, memorials to the Jews in Germany are protected. These are lands which my family were genocide on; I feel great people; were removed, and banished from. Even though you my have governmental historians, genocide the family line by trying to kill off the Elwald line in the aftermath of the proposed Hermitage Castle wind farm.

Richard Scott, of Buccleuch said, NOTHING SHORT OF VANDALISM, and they began to think it was his castle he is trying to protect, not the HERMITAGE CASTLE, owned by Historical Scotland, which is a historical antiquity to the United Kingdom and ancestors of Border People of this region, displace to north Scotland, north Ireland and, around the world.

It was easy to model the Infinis appeal after the North British Windpower appeal, to realized it would go through in the same fashion.

THE HERMITAGE CASTLE is our ancestral historical and family heritage, our indigenous lands which many people of the borders living around the world with their ancestors exterminated off them and they resettled from, and sometimes as Parliament has disclosed “transported as slaves to the colonies”.
These people want preservation of THE HERMITAGE CASTLE, not money to the powerful in a corrupted government which has not changed it’s policy of extermination and genocide, as James VI of Scotland becoming also James I of England, in the making of THE MIDDLE SHIRES. THE MIDDLE SHIRES is to be a natural and preserved region of peace between two Kingdoms, and not the descration of ancestral land which is still the indigenous lands to a population distributed around the world. Border people of a land between two kingdoms, are now of a land “the sun never sat upon”. Their indigenous homeland referred to as THE MIDDLE SHIRES, is not to be destroyed by political corporate paid money grabbers, through industrialization, because they are paying them off with tidbits when the politicians get the funds giving them an excuse to desecrated and destroy the environment, of indigenous to the land historical antiquities such as THE HERMITAGE CASTLE.

The Great Historic Families of Scotland
The Scotts of Buccleuch
(parts of)
The battle, though fiercely contested, was short, as the Borderers were unequally matched against the armed knights in the forces of the Douglases; and the Homes and the Kers returned on hearing the noise of the conflict, and, attacking the left wing and rear of Buccleuch’s little army, put them to flight. About eighty of the Scotts were slain in this engagement and the pursuit. The only person of importance who fell on the side of the Douglases was Sir Andrew Ker of Cessford, who was killed by one of the Elliots, a retainer of Buccleuch, while eagerly pressing on the retreating enemy.
Buccleuch was obliged to retire to France, in order to escape the vengeance of Angus for this attempt to emancipate his sovereign from the yoke of the Douglases.
The favour which the King cherished towards Buccleuch did not, however, prevent him from imprisoning that chief, along with the Earl of Bothwell, Lord Home, Kerr of Ferniehirst, [This is the manner in which the Ferniehirst family spell their name, which differs slightly from the spelling of the Cessford Kers.]
Strenuous efforts were made by influential friends to heal the deadly feud between the Scotts and Kers, and with this view Sir Walter Scott, who was now a widower, married, in January, 1530, a daughter of Andrew Kerr of Ferniehirst (today Richard Scott-Buccleuch is married to a Kerr of Fernieherst), the head of one of the branches of this clan. A bond was also entered into between the heads of the chief branches of the two clans that, on the one hand, ‘Sir Walter Scott of Branxholm shall gang, or cause gang, at the will of the party, to the four head pilgrimages of Scotland [Scone, Dundee, Paisley, and Melrose], and shall say a mass for the souls of umquhile Andrew Ker of Cessford and them that were slain in his company, in the field of Melrose; and upon his expense shall cause a chaplain saye a mass daily, when he is disposed, in what place the said Walter Ker and his former friends pleases, for the weil of the said souls, for the space of five years next to come.’ The chiefs of the Kers came under a corresponding obligation to make pilgrimages, and to say masses, for the souls of the Scotts who fell in the battle of Melrose. Walter Scott also bound himself to marry his son and heir to one of the sisters of Walter Ker of Cessford.
But, as the Minstrel of the clan wrote with reference to this long-breathed feud—
‘Can piety the discord heal
Or stanch the death-feud’s enmity?
Can Christian love, can patriot zeal,
Can love of blessed charity?
No! vainly to each holy shrine,
In mutual pilgrimage they drew;
Implored, in vain, the grace divine
For chiefs their own red falchions slew;
While Cessford owns the rule of Carr,
While Ettrick boasts the line of Scott,
The slaughter’d chiefs, the mortal jar,
The havoc of the feudal war,
Shall never, never be forgot.’
Both Duke of Buccleuch, and Duke of Roxburgh, are related and like to feud, like the Hatfield and McCoy. They seem to be continuing this feud, when it comes to the historical protection of The Hermitage Castle. It does not seem to help Buccleuch being married to a Kerr of the Ferniehirst Castle either, because they have been know to feud with the Ker of Cessford-Roxburgh, and now Floors Castle.
It should be noted that a Douglas wrote the history that an Elliot of Stobs which was not around at the time, (nor around, to rescue Kinmont Willie) killed Cessford. James Elwald (ie; Ellot/Elliot) traitor to James V previous to the hanging of Gilnockie (as a traitor and hung his company of Armestrang and Elwald/Ellot) is likely which I’m please to say my relative, and would have not killed a Buccleuch, or a Cessford (Roxburghe), because, as in 1526 as it is today these are stewards of the Scottish Borderlands, and hopefully they will get on board to make the Borderlands a National Park. Would like to see Kelso, Hawick, and Langholm, along with Debatable lands included.
Guys I’m an Elliott, which they are trying to exterminate my Elwald-Ellot of Gorrenberry line, the line which rode with the Bauld Buccleuch to rescue Kinmont (kin to to Gilnockie, and Mangerton, mounted up on the slope) Willie Armstrong from Carlisle Castle, not the Sir Gilbert Ellot-Elliot of Stobs, guy which the Bauld Buccleuch was trying to promote and the Douglas some would like to blame for killing Cessford. To those that do not believe I exist I am The Cowie of Gorrenberry. Us Gorrenberry Elwald-Ellot sure know how to feed people a line, to protect a loved one.
That Cessford should know better, and Bauld Buccleuch, your wife of the house of Ferniehirst, which need archaeological protection also, can not put up with this. Just because Cessford your castles at Cesford and Roxburgh, near where you now live at Floors, are in ruins, does not mean the boarder lands do not need protecting from a corrupt Jame VI Scottish Kingdom, type government utilizing the power of England to exterminated us Borderers, our family names and our family lines, by trying to destroy our family histories in order to place industrialization in a region know as the Middle Shires, which is suppose to be protected from industrialization. The making of the Middle Shires, by genicide of Borders, by the King of Scotland, when he got his hands on the English army to destroy by any means those on the borders to make a Middle Shires. Today’s Scottish govenment, is following in suit by the Scottish Ministry’s placement without listening to people of The Borders, a wind farm, next to the greatest border icon THE HERMITAGE CASTLE.

(Hate to admit it but the Bauld Buccleuch, has Belties on his land also. Anyone raising Belties can’t be all that bad.) Bet the better Beltie is the Gorrenberry Beltie, and not the Buccleuch Beltie.
Gorrenberry Farm, Report No.1909

Scions of the Elliots and the Scotts lived at various times here. The Brownie of Goranberry, a helpful supernatural being which cleaned the building nightly, was reputed to live in the tower with one of the Elliots.
The history of the Hermitage Valley is very much tied up with that of Hermitage Castle which lies to the east of Gorrenberry. The history of this important national monument and the lands around it have been reported in a fascinating monograph by Professor Richard Oram of Stirling University (Report of Hermitage Castle).

Clan Crozier
https://www.electricscotland.com/webclans/atoc/clancrozier.pdf
Scottish Border Reiver Clan
With the Armstrongs, Elliots, and Nixons. Some sources cite the surname as a sept of the Armstrong clan, but the Scottish Parliament in 1587 identified the Croziers as a middle march clan.
Would say that near 100%, of people are being honest about their direct family line. To be in error is to say they are lying about their family line. When an individual is honest about their family line, and one takes it they are lying, then it is the one which takes they are lying which creates the lye. MI6, in covert activities may utilize lies, but I am finding the best cover, with the extermination and vanquishing The Cowie, and the Gorrenberry line is to be honest, with people thinking I am lying creating a cover. Today, the Cowie and Gorrenberry are vanquished, with the Elwald line. The English Ellwood, a variant of the Elwald of York in England know of the Elwald line existence, along with Clan Armstrong, and the Clan Elliot chief Margaret Eliott.
Not of Redheugh and the Armstrong know I exist, though father Loren Spencer Elliott was of the Clan Elliot Society for decades, today to be unvanquished I am an Armstrong. The Elwald/Ellot of Gorrenberry rode with brother and loyal to the chief Martin Ellot (likely married to and not feuding with the Armstrong) of Braidlie high in Liddesdale, between Gorrenberry and the Hermitage Castle. Martin Ellot soldiered the Hermitage Castle for Boswell lease land of the Braidlie, therefore did not have a peel tower. Had on in the region of the Redheugh then Larriston Ellot of Over and Nether Larriston, and of the Crosser/Crozier, of nearby Over and Nether Riccarton, at Prickenhaugh.
As long as I present with high correctness from my point of view, and my Elliott history is considered accurate by the Ellwood, Armstrong and the chief, and not a part of today’s Clan Elliott history, to be Unvanquished is to be an Armstrong, but can help the Clan Elliott by truth being said a lye, giving the cover the Andrew ‘Dand’, father of Andrew ‘Dand’ the Cow Burgess of Selkirk older brother to Clementis Hobs, to be the Cowie of Gorrenberry. Andrew ‘Dand’ the Cowie, fathered Andrew ‘Dand’ the Cow, and Clementis Hobs (Hobbe Elwode Clemyt Crossier syster sone, ie Clement Crozier’s sister’s son Robert Elliott).

Reivers are Riding – SCOCHA
And we Ride – SCOCHA
The borderline, the lands divide
And many brave and honest men have died
But this proud land was yours and mine
Lang before they ever drew the line
Though claim the Middle March Clans; Armstrong, Elliot, Crozier and Nixon, as family, but can not claim as an American; England or Scotland. I claim the borders as my ancestral homeland. Yes, being from Gallup, New Mexico, USA, my ancestry, is that of the borders, and my ancestral lands are the borderlands.
Simply said;
