The Purpose of Burgh Beautiful
Date: October 31, 2004

- Improving the appearance of the High Street and adjoining Wynds through
the introduction of attractive and consistent street furniture, trees and
floral displays and permanent planting
- Upgrading town entrances, including the railway station, by judicious
planting, and informative displays that give a sense of place and a better
first impression to visitors
- Making landscape improvements to focal points throughout the town
- Working towards a sustainable environment by tackling litter, minimising
waste, and encouraging recycling
- Protecting and nurturing the natural habitat
- Involving young people and adults in town improvements, encouraging more
