The progressive educator A.S. Neill (1883 -- 1973) was born in Forfar. The majority of his career was spent in charge of Summerhill School at Leiston, Suffolk -- run along very enlightened lines -- founded by him in 1921, still going strong.
Leiston was the only intermediate station on the Great Eastern Railway's branch line from Saxmundham to Aldeburgh, which is still used to this day as far as Leiston for the transport of nuclear flasks to and from the nearby power station at Sizewell.

Cornhill-on-Tweed is a small village in England just across the national border from a larger town (Coldstream) in Scotland.
Staunton in Gloucestershire* is another small English village, this time just across a national border from the larger Welsh town of Monmouth.
