    BLACKCRAIG WIND FARM COMMUNITY FUND Fund Strategy 2021 1 Purpose of this Fund Strategy The purpose of the Blackcraig Wind Farm Community Fund Strategy is to set out the Fund’s early priorities and the processes by which funding will be made available. This strategy has been updated for 2021 in response to consultation and action planning activity in areas benefitting from this charitable Fund and its early grant-making activity. The Fund Strategy will: Enable proposals to be prioritised for funding and for decisions to be made in a fair and consistent manner; Ensure the Fund achieves measurable impact against agreed Fund priorities; Provide clear messages to applicants and the wider community about what the Fund supports; Ensure the funding is accessible to those who are well placed to deliver impact in the Fund area. The Strategy has been developed by Glenkens & District Trust (GDT) in conjunction with Foundation Scotland and will be reviewed at regular intervals to ensure it continues to meet the evolving needs of the communities. 2 Background Blackcraig Wind Farm is owned and operated by Blackcraig Wind Farm (Scotland) Limited (BWL). BWL has agreed to provide an annual Fund that will benefit the communities, defined as the areas served by the following Community Councils: Balmaclellan Balmaghie Carsphairn Corsock & Kirkpatrick Durham Crossmichael & District Dalry Dunscore Glencairn The Royal Burgh of New Galloway and Kells Parish Parton The Fund comprises an annual payment of £5,000 per MW, totalling £264,500.

  • Place-Names in and Around the Fleet Valley
    Place-names in and around the Fleet Valley ==== L ==== Lady’s Well This well, with clear water running under covering stones now overgrown by bushes, is in Skyreburn Glen near the site of Kirkbride Chapel. Lady’s Well, Lady Well and Ladywell are common throughout England and Lowland Scotland. In most cases probably, and in a good many certainly, the name refers to Our Lady. That is probably the case here, given its proximity to the chapel dedicated to St Bride or Brighid (see Kirkbride above), who was known from as early as the seventh century as ‘Mary of the Irish’ or ‘of the Gaels’. Among many other powers ascribed to her, she was patroness of women in childbirth, and a late-recorded legend from the Hebrides even portrays her as midwife to Mary. A similar hint of an association between the Blessed Virgin and St. Bride is found in Kirkcolm parish in the North Rhinns, which contains St. Mary’s Well (marked as a historic monument on OS maps) to the south of the kirktoun, Lady Bay to the north, and Kirkbryde, with St. Bride’s Well, to the west. In the absence of evidence, we should be cautious of speculating, but it is reasonable to suppose that some beliefs connecting St. Bride and the Blessed Virgin were associated with these places, and maybe there was some cultic use of the wells, with pre-Christian roots. As suggested above, the cult of St. Bride may have been introduced in the tenth century by the Gall-Ghàidheil, and such beliefs and practices would have come with it.
