PROPOSALS for a new holiday park in the Borders have been unveiled.
The development, which would include 40 luxury lodges, is being put forward for a site in Earlsheugh, near Jedburgh.
The company behind the bid, CampbellMac Developments, said the £5m investment would create up to 18 new jobs.
It said the project would provide an opportunity to connect with the natural environment, enjoy the local wildlife and take advantage of footpaths and cycle routes.
A spokesperson said: “Our ethos is to connect with the natural and historic assets the site has to offer given its location close to the Jed Water and the site of the former Old Jedward medieval settlement.
“Our aim is that the development will become an integral and important part of the local community. By creating jobs and offering opportunities for local businesses to provide goods and services, this will embed the site as an important contributor to community cohesion.
“It will also provide a unique holiday destination for visitors to the Scottish Borders.”
CampbellMac Developments is working on its planning application.
It is looking for comments and ideas from residents, businesses and other tourism providers in order to shape the proposal in advance of the bid being submitted to Scottish Borders Council.

The spokesperson added: “A separate planning application is currently being prepared for the restoration and conversion of the redundant Victorian stone barns that act as a gateway to the site.
“The barns will provide high quality holiday accommodation whilst retaining the charm and character of the original buildings.”
