## Resource

Three iconic Scottish abbeys—Jedburgh, Kelso, and Melrose—are set to go dark under new council budget cuts, sparking a community rallying cry to save their historic glow ahead of Kelso’s 900th anniversary. With floodlights aging and energy costs rising, the Scottish Borders Council is ending its lighting agreements—but not before giving a year’s notice. Local officials, including Councillor Euan Robson, are urging the public to step in with fundraising to install modern, efficient lighting. Historic Environment Scotland is open to collaboration, offering a chance for community groups to take the reins. This is a pivotal moment to preserve these landmarks’ nighttime allure—and honor their legacy. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
