We visited @tweed_forum's Eddleston Water Project in the Scottish Borders to learn about how changes to this river were mitigating against flood risk in Peebles.

Changes include the planting hundreds of trees, installation of natural barriers and re-meandering of the river.

🔊 Today is Dissolution - the official end of this parliamentary session.

The Scottish Parliament shuts down so an election can happen, and MSPs no longer hold office. That means no more parliamentary work until a new Parliament is elected.
