  • Dumfriesshire
    Dumfriesshire Rare Plant Register 2020 Christopher Miles An account of the known distribution of the rare or scarce native plants in Dumfriesshire up to the end of 2019 Rare Plant Register Dumfriesshire 2020 Holy Grass, Hierochloe odorata Black Esk July 2019 2 Rare Plant Register Dumfriesshire 2020 Acknowledgements My thanks go to all those who have contributed plant records in Dumfriesshire over the years. 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. 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. This can be established through a medieval period is a subject that has been detailed investigation of specific lettering styles largely ignored until recently. 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).

This has changed the original pagination of articles, which is given in square brackets. WATERWHEEL PUMPING ENGINES ON THE STRAITSTEPS VEIN AT WANLOCKHEAD G. Downs-Rose The Clerk of Eldin’s Drawing A wash drawing, in the burgh museum at Dumfries by the Clerk of Eldin in 1775 gives a general view of lead mining operations on the surface at the Straitsteps vein, Wanlockhead, Dumfriesshire. It is the only pictorial record we have for that period in the mines’ history and of interest to the industrial archaeologist being relevant to one of his main tasks, the identification of early industrial sites in Scotland. With the aid of the drawing and research in the Buccleuch Muniments at Drumlanrig, the Scottish Records Office, Edinburgh, and the Hornel Library, Kircudbright, it is possible to locate the site and trace in detail the history of the mining operations centred on the Straitsteps vein over a period of two hundred years.
