DIY giant B&Q has lost an appeal for an illuminated sign outside a store in the Scottish Borders.
The local authority rejected its proposals for land at the Tweedbank Industrial Estate so it took the case to the Scottish government.
A reporter has now concluded that the proposed signage would add "clutter" to the roadside in the area.
He ruled it would be harmful to the amenity of the area and rejected the firm's appeal.
