Many people have between them provided hundreds or thousands of records and this publication would not have been possible without them. More particularly, before my recording from 1996 onwards, plant records have been collected and collated in three distinct periods since the nineteenth century by previous botanists working in Dumfriesshire. The first of these was George F. Scott- Elliot. He was an eminent explorer and botanist who edited the first and only Flora so far published for Dumfriesshire in 1896. His work was greatly aided by other contributing botanists probably most notably Mr J.T. Johnstone and Mr W. Stevens. The second was Humphrey Milne-Redhead who was a GP in Mainsriddle in Kircudbrightshire from 1947. He was both the vice county recorder for Bryophytes and for Higher Plants for all three Dumfries and Galloway vice counties! During his time the first systematic recording was stimulated by work for the first Atlas of the British Flora (1962). He published a checklist in 1971/72. The third period of recording was between 1975 and 1993 led by Stuart Martin and particularly Mary Martin after Stuart’s death. Mary in particular continued systematic recording and recorded for the monitoring scheme in 1987/88.

    Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 135 (2005), 423–442THOMSON; TOMBSTONE LETTERING IN DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY | 423 Research in inscriptional palaeography (RIP). Tombstone lettering in Dumfries and Galloway George Thomson* ABSTRACT A comprehensive and detailed survey was made of lettering on all accessible tombstone inscriptions in Dumfries and Galloway. Using statistical and other analytical techniques, a large amount of data was extracted. From this, comparisons were made with data from the author’s previous study of inscriptional lettering throughout Scotland. The distributions of a number of letterform attributes were mapped, in some instances revealing clear geographical trends. The interesting subregional groupings in Dumfries and Galloway identified in the initial national survey were confirmed when the comprehensive data were used, though the distinctions were not so clear-cut. The rise of three more or less distinct area profiles identified using 42 letterform attributes is likened to the development of a dialect or accent, not learned by imitation, but subconsciously acquired as a consequence of living in local divergent communities.

    Place-Names in and Around the Fleet Valley ==== G ==== Gaitgil Gategill on the 1St Edition OS Map, but Recorded As Gaitgil in 1469 (When It Was Alias

    Place-names in and around the Fleet Valley ==== G ==== Gaitgil Gategill on the 1st edition OS Map, but recorded as Gaitgil in 1469 (when it was alias ... Litiltoun), and regularly Gaitgi(l)l from 1560 onward. It is Gategill on the 1st edition OS map, but on current maps the house is Gaitgil, but the Hill and Bridge are spelt Gategill; the local pronunciation is ‘gee- gill’ (hard g in both cases). The second element is certainly either Old (West) Norse gil ‘a ravine’, or the same word, ‘gill’, used commonly in Scots and northern English (especially Lake District) place- names for a steep, narrow glen with a burn. It is not certain which ‘gill’ the name refers to. The Gategill Burn, upstream named Littleton Burn (see Littleton below), and downstream Waulk Mill Burn (see Waulk Mill), flows down a steep-sided ‘gill’ to the west of White Hill, but Gaitgil House stands beyond White Hill to the east, and the eponymous ‘gill’ could be the valley, again quite steep-sided, running south from Gategill Hill towards Conchieton, with the watercourse that is the Slack Burn upstream, becoming Pulwhirrin Burn downstream by Mill of Borgue. Maxwell takes the first element to be ‘road’ (see Gatehouse above): the road from Twynholm (the later course of the Old Military Road) skirted Gategill Hill on the north side, and the road from Kirkcudbright crossed Gategill Burn at Gategill Bridge by Gategill Barn. An alternative might be the Scots and northern English homonym gate ‘goat’ (Old English gāt, Old Norse geit). Galla Hill and Gallows Knowe These two locations, Galla Hill overlooking the Old Military Road above the steep drop down to Gatehouse before The Cut was made, and Gallows Knowe overlooking the old road from Anwoth to Carsluith, between Burnside and High Auchenlarie, were doubtless sites where the bodies of malefactors hung as a warning to passers-by.
