“Plans to open a £2m crematorium in the Borders have been put on hold after a nearby objector threatened to invoke a 112-year-old law.
Dr Fraser Quin’s house lies within 200 yards of the chimney stack of the Houndwood Church site.
The 1902 Cremation Act states that a crematorium must have written approval of property owners within that range.”
