Morebattle village - with a population of just over 300 - sits on the popular St Cuthbert's Way walking route that runs from Melrose to Holy Island.The refurbished inn - backed by funding from the Scottish Land Fund and South of Scotland Enterprise - is already attracting overseas visitors and it is hoped more will follow.

Tenants Sharon and Alan Reid moved from the Tushielaw Inn near Selkirk last month and have already started serving food and delivering throughout the area.Roddy Murray, who chairs MCHP, admitted he had been stunned by how an acorn of an idea had grown into a huge community effort.He said: "The steering group had a vision with all the stages of funding and planning that goes into something like this, but you do always wonder at the back of your mind if it will have the level of support that you need to make it sustainable in the long-term.

"What we've seen in the last eight weeks or so since we officially purchased the building is tremendous support, with people really buying into it."He said that was essential to its long-term success.

"It's got to be financially sustainable," Roddy added.

"There were funds available to purchase and refurbish, but it has to stand on its own two feet, and provide an income for the tenants moving forward.He added that the prime minister would "completely condemn" death threats received by the For Women Scotland who brought the Supreme Court legal case, adding they were "completely unacceptable".

Speaking to the BBC's Politics Live, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said her approach on the subject had "evolved"."My understanding of the law until this [Supreme Court] ruling was that it made provision for people who had been through the gender recognition process and transitioned to a different gender to be recognised in that gender in legal terms.

"I misunderstood the application of the law, like many people, and that's what we're working through now."Asked what the ruling meant for transpeople's participation in sport, Nandy said "biology matters" but added that there were international rules that prevented the government from interfering in the governance of sporting bodies.
