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.

  • Chronicles of Muckledale
    CHRONICLES OF MUCKLEDALE being the Memoirs of Thomas Beattie of Muckledale, 1736–1827 Edited by Edward J. Cowan Sources in Local History Contents Introduction iii Editor’s note v Acknowledgments vi Glossary vii Chronicles of Muckledale 1 Notes 371 Further Reading 394 ii Introduction his substantial document was brought to my attention by Victor Wilson of TDumfries, who had consulted it in the burgh’s Ewart Library. Enquiries to Graham Roberts, Archivist for Dumfries and Galloway Region, received a positive and characteristically enthusiastic response. He swiftly arranged the necessary permissions for the European Ethnological Research Centre to produce an edition to be placed online as part of the Centre’s Regional Ethnology of Dumfries and Galloway Project. The document was retyped by Ms Sheila Findlay who made many helpful suggestions and observations during the process. I subsequently discovered that Ms Paula Simcocks of Canberra, Australia had also worked on an edition, inspired initially by genealogical interests. She proved very willing to share her knowledge with us while still planning to publish a version of her own and indeed communicated some material of great interest. The document is neither a diary nor a memorial proper though both genres may have contributed to the final product. Rather Thomas Beattie seems to have written a summary of each year, when he felt so inclined, after plans to maintain a diary in his earlier years were gradually abandoned. Our designation, Memoirs, is intended as a shorthand compromise. Thomas Beattie was born on 13 July 1736 at Langholm, the son of John Beattie (1689-1781) and of Helen Armstrong (1709-93).
