		The Boundary Commission might seem an unlikely source of trouble, but the provisional proposals for the constituency of Peebles, Clydesdale and Annandale are rightly seen as a threat to the territorial integrity of the region.
		There are roads which are in the constituency then leave it and then return, all without diversion and all within a few miles.
		But from my own experience each of these agencies still maintains close contact with their local Member of Parliament, whether it is to discuss national pay bargaining in the health service, control of drugs or the economic wellbeing of the area.

		The passage of the Scottish Parliament Constituencies Act meant that the Boundary Commission was no longer required to review the regional boundaries for the Scottish Parliament.
		constituencies for Westminster have been in the public domain for over a year since December 2003, the political parties and electoral administrators have had some considerable time to plan the changes that will need to be in place for the next general election.
		In particular, we endorse the commission's view that, having regard to the significant changes to the constituency geography, as a consequence of the reduction in the number of constituencies, its conclusions are fair and consistent across Scotland.

	GO BRITANNIA! Scotland: Great Scots of Note
		Hamiltons' incompetence as a military leader was honed in Europe when he was sent to command a Swedish force fighting in Germany in the Thirty Years War.
		A favorite of Charles, Hamilton was then made a commissioner to deal with the stubborn and rebellious Scots, who had drawn up the National Covenant to pledge their support for Presbyterianism and their objection to the insistence of the equally stubborn king that the English liturgy be used in Scottish churches.
		Hamilton endeavored to marry the Scottish "philosophy of common sense" to the more radical views of Kant, and by so doing, introduced the ideas of the German philosopher to the British educated public.
