These are the aims for managing local flood risk. The objectives have been grouped in three main ways: by reducing risk, avoiding increasing risk or accepting risk by maintaining current levels of management. Objectives Many organisations, such as Scottish Water and energy companies, actively maintain and manage their own assets including their risk from flooding. Where known, these actions are described here. Scottish Natural Heritage and Historic Environment Scotland work with site owners to manage flooding where appropriate at designated environmental and/or cultural heritage sites. These actions are not detailed further in the Flood Risk Management Strategies. Summary of actions to manage flooding The actions below have been selected to manage flood risk.

The incorporates the town of Dalbeattie Annual Average Damages are (shown below). It is approximately approximately £570,000. 40km2. Figure 1: Annual Average Damages by flood source © Crown copyright. SEPA licence number 100016991 (2015). All rights reserved. Summary of flooding impacts River flooding in this area is primarily attributed to the Kirkgunzeon Lane, which flows to Maidenholm where it turns west towards Dalbeattie. This river may cause flooding to residential properties, non-residential properties, roads (notably sections of the A710 and A711), utilities and agricultural land around Maidenholm. These predicted impacts are supported by historical flood reports from Dalbeattie. Areas of notable flood risk in Dalbeattie include High Street, the port area, and along the Mill Burn and Little Burn. The national flood mapping for Dalbeattie does not fully represent the flood defences in the area. The main coastal risk within this Potentially Vulnerable Area is from the Urr Water, which flows along the western boundary of the Potentially Vulnerable Area from Dalbeattie to the Solway Firth, and is tidal over this entire reach. There is also potential for interaction with river flooding in this location. Coastal flooding is predicted to affect a number of properties and a short section of the road network in Dalbeattie and Kippford. Surface water flooding is more prevalent in the northern half of the area. However, there are small pockets of surface water flooding within Dalbeattie which may impact on properties, utilities and roads. Solway Local Plan District Section 2 218 Within this Potentially Vulnerable Area it is estimated that climate change will increase the number of residential properties at risk of flooding from approximately 290 to 420 and the number of non-residential properties from approximately 80 to 90. The risk of flooding to people and property, as well as to community facilities, utilities, the transport network, designated sites and agricultural land is summarised in Table 1. Impacts are primarily within Dalbeattie, with a concentration of residential and non- residential properties at risk, although properties and roads may be impacted in some other locations. The damages associated with floods of different likelihood are shown in Figure 2. Residential properties affected by river flooding experience the highest economic impact at approximately 60% of the damages followed by non-residential properties. The location of the impacts of flooding is shown in Figure 3. 1 in 10 1 in 200 1 in 1000 High likelihood Medium likelihood Low likelihood Residential properties 200 280 320 (total 2,600) Non-residential 50 80 50 properties (total 240) People 440 640 710 Community facilities 0 0 0 Utilities assets <10 10 10 Transport links - 1.8 3.5 4.0 roads (km) Transport links - 0 0 0 rail (km) Environmental 2 0 0 <0.1 designated areas (km ) Designated cultural 2 2 2 heritage sites Agricultural land (km2) 2.0 2.5 2.6 Table 1: Summary of flood impacts1 Figure 2: Damages by flood likelihood 1 Some receptors are counted more than once if flooded from multiple sources 219 Section 2 Solway Local Plan District Figure 3: Impacts of flooding Solway Local Plan District Section 2 220 History of flooding Areas that affected by flooding in this area include Kippford and Dalbeattie, with flooding from different sources reported every year since 2002. The most significant floods in the area occurred in Dalbeattie. Flooding on 31 October 1977 caused major disruption to gas supplies for two days and significant damage to a footbridge. Flooding in 1982 saw the Urr Water reach its highest levels since records began in 1964. River flooding and surface water flooding was record in Dalbeattie in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2008. These floods affected roads and properties. Parts of the seafront have been affected by tidal surges from the Solway Firth, specifically Airieland, Rockcliffe Village and Foreshore Road. Kippford has also suffered damage from coastal surges, the most recent occurring in January 2014. 221 Section 2 Solway Local Plan District Objectives to manage flooding in Potentially Vulnerable Area 14/19 Objectives provide a common goal and shared ambition for managing floods. These objectives have been set by SEPA and agreed with flood risk management authorities following consultation. They were identified through an assessment of the underlying evidence of the causes and impacts of flooding. Target areas have been set to focus actions; they do not necessarily correspond to areas at risk in SEPA’s flood map. The objectives below have been set for Dalbeattie Potentially Vulnerable Area.

    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. INTRODUCTION for the study of local communities, traditions and tastes. Moreover, it can be used as a cultural Lettering on tombstones of the late and post- marker.

The author (Thomson 2002) or by statistical analysis of data undertook a survey of gravestone lettering extracted from a range of seemingly abstruse throughout Scotland based on a sample of 132 attributes. The analysis of data based on 42 mainland burial sites (Thomson 2001a).
