For this , take a look at Ireland’s passenger rail network and the large gap across Donegal and much of the northwest.
Donegal has no regular passenger rail service. For people living there, reaching the national rail network means first travelling outside the county.
That blank space raises questions about access to jobs, education and tourism and how people can choose public transport when the infrastructure doesn’t reach them.

What would better rail access mean for the northwest?

A fence, a stone wall or an overgrown hedgerow? Mapping alone may not give you the full picture.
In boundary queries, conveyancing and land development, an orthophoto adds valuable visual context. It helps you compare mapped information with features visible on the ground when the imagery was captured.

Used alongside title documents, historical evidence and a ground survey where needed, an orthophoto can help clarify discrepancies and support informed decisions.

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗜𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗸𝗶𝗻𝘀

Long before carved pumpkins and trick-or-treating became modern fixtures, the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain marked the close of the harvest and the onset of winter across Ireland.
In Irish tradition, this was a threshold season. The boundary between the living and the Otherworld was believed to thin, giving rise to ritual bonfires, guising disguises and protective folk customs.
Hollowed-out turnips were carved in Ireland centuries before Irish emigrants to North America adopted the native pumpkin.
Over generations, traditions crossed borders, adapted to local landscapes and took root worldwide.
This season, trace the celebration back to its Irish roots.

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲. 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀. 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗗𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘀.

Imagine living in a house where one side of your front door is in Belgium and the other is in the Netherlands.
Welcome to Baarle, one of Europe's most extraordinary geographical puzzles. This small town is divided into 30 enclaves, comprising 22 Belgian and eight Dutch territories, creating a patchwork of international boundaries that run through streets, gardens, shops and even people's homes.
Normally, a property's official address is determined by which country contains its front door. But one remarkable house has its entrance directly on the international boundary, giving it two addresses: Loveren 2 in Belgium and Loveren 19 in the Netherlands. It even has two doorbells!
The boundaries are marked on pavements with distinctive white crosses and metal markers, while house number signs display national colours to identify which country a property belongs to.
For surveyors, it's a fascinating example of how a line drawn on a map can determine something as fundamental as your official address, local administration and which country's rules apply.
Most of us worry about where the boundary lies between our garden and the neighbour's. In Baarle, it might be the boundary between two countries.

𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿

A £600k home in Surbiton. A 48cm strip of land. A four-year boundary dispute involving part of a neighbour’s kitchen.
The James bought their semi-detached home in 2021 and soon after claimed their neighbours’ kitchen wall was built 48cm over the boundary. They went to the First-tier Tribunal seeking an order that the encroaching wall be demolished.
The neighbours, who bought next door in 2012, successfully applied to register the disputed strip through adverse possession, often called “squatters’ rights”.
The tribunal found that the extension had occupied the same position since at least October 2000, probably considerably earlier. Successive owners had genuinely and reasonably believed that the whole kitchen belonged to them.
One important detail: the tribunal did not determine the precise legal boundary. It accepted the alleged boundary position for the purposes of deciding the adverse-possession application.
The takeaway? Long-established physical boundaries can carry significant weight. Title plans generally show general boundaries and the history of occupation can matter. But age alone does not establish ownership: the specific legal requirements for adverse possession must be met.

Congratulations to Farrans, Sacyr, Translink and the entire Belfast Grand Central Station project team on winning both Project of the Year and the Infrastructure Award at the RICS UK Awards 2026.

Having had the privilege of heading the Northern Ireland judging panel, I am particularly pleased to see this project receive national recognition. It is a proud moment for Northern Ireland and for everyone who contributed to its delivery.

Belfast Grand Central Station demonstrates the lasting difference that well-delivered infrastructure can make, improving connectivity, supporting regeneration and creating opportunities for communities.

These awards recognise the skill, commitment and collaboration of the people behind this landmark project. A tremendous achievement and thoroughly deserved recognition. Well done to everyone involved.

Our land surveying team uses mobile SLAM scanning to capture buildings, roads and surrounding features, helping architects and engineers work from precise existing-site data.
We capture interiors and exteriors efficiently, verify coverage on site and deliver registered point clouds in E57 or Autodesk-ready RCP formats for direct use in Revit and Civil 3D.

What does that mean for your project?
• Less time on site and minimal disruption
• Clearer information to support design and coordination
• Earlier identification of potential issues, reducing repeat visits and avoidable rework

𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲?

A common misconception is that “the fence on the left is yours.” There is no such rule in England & Wales. Responsibility is determined by the title deeds and plan, not by which side the fence sits on.
Look for a small “T” mark on the plan. The stem sits on the boundary line and the cross-bar points into the land of the party responsible for maintaining that boundary feature. An “H” mark usually means a shared boundary.
Important: T-marks primarily indicate maintenance responsibility, not necessarily ownership of the fence itself. The Court of Appeal confirmed this in Lanfear v Chandler [2013], a repairing covenant linked to a T-mark does not automatically mean the covenantor owns the structure.

Always check the deed wording as well as the plan.
