The Duke of Roxburghe, pictured second from left, planted a blueberry bush last week to mark the official opening of new allotments on the outskirts of Kelso, with the help of Matty and Lewis Fleming.
Representatives of the Kelso Allotments Society, from left, Norman Anderson, Jim Fleming and Christine Henderson also attended.
Around 60 plots have been leased to the society for 10 years, with some set aside for young people to encourage them into horticulture.
