Mitigation Measures ............................................................................................. 6 5. Conclusion ........................................................................................................... 6 ANNEX A ................................................................................................................... 8 1 1. Introduction This scoping opinion is issued by the Scottish Government Energy Consents Unit on behalf of the Scottish Ministers to Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions UK Limited as acting agent on behalf of RWE Renewables UK Developments Ltd a company incorporated under the Companies Acts with company number 03758407 and having its registered office at Greenwood House Westwood Way, Westwood Business Park, Coventry, United Kingdom, CV4 8TT (“the Company”) in response to a request dated 7 February 2020 for a scoping opinion under the Electricity Works (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Scotland) Regulations 2017 in relation to the proposed Enoch Hill Wind Farm Variation (“the proposed development”). The request was accompanied by a scoping report. The proposed development would be located approximately 5km to the south west of New Cumnock and approximately 7km north east of Dalmellington. The proposed development is solely within the planning authority of East Ayrshire Council. Options for transport route to the site are to depart from the Jura Terminal along Waggon Road, before turning on right on Allison Street (A79), from here the access route will follow the A719, A77, A76 and the B741, entering the Development Site at a new junction off the B741 in the north-western part of the Development Site. Enoch Hill Wind Farm was granted Consent by the Scottish Ministers in September 2019 for 16 turbines and associated Infrastructure. The company is proposing to submit a variation application under section 36C of the Electricity Act (1989) (as amended) to construct and operate a wind farm with a generating capacity in excess of 50MW on the site of the Consented Development. The consented Development comprises of 16 wind turbines with the maximum blade height of 130m. The final specification of the turbines is not known at this time, it is likely the proposed variation would increase their tip height to a maximum of 149.9m and a rotor diameter from 106m to up to 136m, with a generation capacity increasing from 54.4MW up to a potential 80MW. The proposed variation requests an increase in the operational period from 25 to 30 years. In addition to wind turbines there will be ancillary infrastructure including: Access tracks connecting infrastructure elements; A new vehicular access point from the public highway; Hard standing areas e.g. crane pads; Potential borrow pit(s); Two anemometer masts; Temporary working areas e.g. construction compound; and Control building and substation and electrical cabling between this and the turbines The Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) should include search areas of the proposed locations for on-site borrow pits. The EIAR should present high-level details of the borrow pit designs including indicative borrow pit plans. 2 The Company indicates the proposed development would be decommissioned after 30 years and the site restored in accordance with the decommissioning and restoration plan. Please refer to page 9 of East Ayrshire Council’s response which refers to decommissioning and restoration advice. 2. Consultation Following the scoping opinion request a list of consultees was agreed between Wood Environment & Infrastructure International and the Energy Consents Unit. A consultation on the scoping report was undertaken by the Scottish Ministers and this commenced on 18 February 2020. The consultation closed on 24 March 2020. Extensions to this deadline were granted to East Ayrshire Council and Defence Infrastructure Organisation. The Scottish Ministers also requested responses from their internal advisors Marine Scotland, Scottish Forestry and Transport Scotland. A full list of consultees is set out at Annex A. The purpose of the consultation was to obtain scoping advice from each consultee on environmental matters within their remit. Responses from consultees and advisors should be read in full for detailed requirements and for comprehensive guidance, advice and, where appropriate, templates for preparation of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report. Unless stated to the contrary in this scoping opinion, Scottish Ministers expect the EIA report to include all matters raised in responses from the consultees and advisors. No responses were received from: British Horse Society Civil Aviation Authority Crown Estate Scotland Fisheries Management Scotland John Muir Trust Joint Radio Company Mountaineering Scotland RSPB Scotland Scottish Wild Land Group (SWLG) Scottish Wildlife Trust Scottish Forestry Carsphairn Community Council Catrine Community Council Crosshill Straiton and Kirkmichael Community Council Cumnock Community Council Cumnock Landward (Netherthird & District) Community Council Kirkconnel and Kelloholm Community Council Lugar and Logan Community Council Muirkirk Community Council Ochiltree Community Council Patna Community Association Penpont Community Council Royal Burgh of Sanquhar and District Community Council Tynron Community Council 3 With regard to those consultees who did not respond, it is assumed that they have no comment to make on the scoping report, however each would be consulted again in the event that an application for section 36 consent is submitted subsequent to this EIA scoping opinion. The Scottish Ministers are satisfied that the requirements for consultation set out in Regulation 12(4) of the Electricity Works (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Scotland) Regulations 2017 have been met. 3. The Scoping Opinion This scoping opinion has been adopted following consultation with East Ayrshire Council within whose area the proposed development would be situated, Scottish Natural Heritage, Scottish Environment Protection Agency and Historic Environment Scotland, all as statutory consultation bodies, and with other bodies which Scottish Ministers consider likely to have an interest in the proposed development by reason of their specific environmental responsibilities or local and regional competencies. Scottish Ministers adopt this scoping opinion having taken into account the information provided by the applicant in its request dated 7 February 2020 in respect of the specific characteristics of the proposed development and responses received to the consultation undertaken. In providing this scoping opinion, the Scottish Ministers have had regard to current knowledge and methods of assessment; have taken into account the specific characteristics of the proposed development, the specific characteristics of that type of development and the environmental features likely to be affected. A copy of this scoping opinion has been sent to East Ayrshire Council for publication on their website. It has also been published on the Scottish Government energy consents website at www.energyconsents.scot. Scottish Ministers expect the EIA report which will accompany the application for the proposed development to consider in full all consultation responses attached in Annex A. Scottish Ministers are satisfied with the scope of the EIA set out at Section 3 of the scoping report. In addition to the consultation responses, Ministers wish to provide comments with regards to the scope of the EIA report. The Company should note and address each matter. Scottish Water Scottish Water provided information on whether there are any drinking water protected areas or Scottish Water assets on which the development could have any significant effect. Scottish Ministers request that the Company contacts Scottish Water (via [email protected]) and makes further enquires to confirm whether there any Scottish Water assets which may be affected by the development, and includes details in the EIA report of any relevant mitigation measures to be provided. 4 Private Water Supplies Private Water supplies Scottish Ministers request that the Company investigates the presence of any private water supplies which may be impacted by the development. The EIA report should include details of any supplies identified by this investigation, and if any supplies are identified, the Company should provide an assessment of the potential impacts, risks, and any mitigation which would be provided. Peat Scottish Ministers consider that where there is a demonstrable requirement for peat landslide hazard and risk assessment, the assessment should be undertaken as part of the EIA process to provide Ministers with a clear understanding of whether the risks are acceptable and capable of being controlled by mitigation measures.

    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.

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.

    Dumfries and Galloway Integration Joint Board Health and Social Care NITHSDALE LOCALITY REPORT March 2021 Version: DRAFT March 2021 1. General Manager’s Introduction 1.1 The COVID-19 Pandemic The past year has presented unprecedented challenges for health and social care across Dumfries and Galloway. The first 2 cases of COVID-19 in the UK were confirmed by 31 January 2020. The first positive cases in Dumfries and Galloway were identified on 16 March 2020. Following direction from the Scottish Government, in March 2020 Dumfries and Galloway Health and Social Care Partnership started their emergency response to the pandemic. Hospital wards were emptied and some cottage hospitals temporarily closed. Many planned services were stopped whilst others changed their delivery model. Many staff were redeployed to assist with anticipated high levels of demand across the Partnership. There were many issues that had to be addressed including: the supply and distribution of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) across the Health and Social Care system over 500 people’s regular care and support ‘packages’ were readjusted to respond to the needs presented by COVID-19 our relationships with care homes changed significantly we quickly kitted out a site that could be used as a temporary cottage hospital in Dumfries During the period of June to October 2020, the Partnership focused on adapting services to reflect the heightened infection prevention and control measures needed to combat COVID-19 and rapidly expanding COVID-19 testing capacity across the region. We rolled out training and technology to enable many more video and telephone consultations. We had to rethink how people could access our premises, with additional cleaning and social distancing to keep people safe.

  • 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.
