Dumfries & Galloway D&G Cup, 2016 Dumfries & Galloway Area Cricket Development Group Dumfries & Galloway ‘D&G Cup’ 2016 Following a successful trial programme during 2015, the Dumfries & Galloway Area Cricket Development Group is delighted to be able to announce that the ‘D&G Cup’ will be running during 2016. The cup was introduced to try and create a way of increasing the opportunities for young cricketers from throughout all of Dumfries and Galloway to play matches against each other. The ‘D&G Cup’ 2016 will feature two age groups teams from each of four clubs within the region – with the matches being two very different formats. At the younger age group (U10), the clubs will come together to run regional Kwik Cricket festivals. The older age group (U12) will hardball matches played between the clubs on a home and away basis. There are points on offer for attending festivals, completing matches and for winning. However, the overall winner of the Cup remains a secondary consideration to getting more cricket happening. U10 Kwik Cricket Festivals 2016 Date Venue Start Time Sunday 22 nd May Kingholm (St Michael’s CC) 11:00 Sunday 12 th June The Castleholm (Langholm CC) 11:00 Sunday 14 th August Gatehouse of Fleet (Galloway CC) 11:00 U12 Hardball Fixtures 2016 Date Home Club Away Club Venue Sunday 22 nd May St Michael’s CC Langholm CC Kingholm Friday 27 th May Galloway CC Dumfries CC Gatehouse of Fleet Friday 3 rd June Dumfries CC St Michael’s CC Nunholm Friday 10 th June Dumfries CC Galloway CC Nunholm Sunday 12 th June Langholm CC St Michael’s CC The Castleholm Friday 17 th June Langholm CC Dumfries CC The Castleholm Friday 24 th June Dumfries CC Langholm CC Nunholm Sunday 26 th June St Michael’s CC Dumfries CC Kingholm Friday 8 th July Galloway CC Langholm CC Gatehouse of Fleet Sunday 10 th July St Michael’s CC Galloway CC Kingholm Friday 15 th July Langholm CC Galloway CC The Castleholm Sunday 28 th August Galloway CC St Michael’s CC Gatehouse of Fleet With the Area Group also having committed to entering the West Region U12 Inter-Area Development Tournament, which will see four matches played (two at home and two away), it is set to be a busy summer for youth cricket in the region. The Group has worked hard to make these opportunities become a reality – and thanks must go to the Group, and to all the clubs within the group, for their time-commitment and effort to the programme.

Enjoy! CYCLING IN STEWARTRY This booklet is one of a series of four covering the whole of Dumfries & Galloway that suggest a variety of cycle tours for visitors and locals of all abilities. Local cycling enthusiasts, using their knowledge of the quieter roads, cycle routes and byways, have researched the routes to provide an interesting and rewarding taste of the region. A note of distance, time, terrain and facilities is given at the start of each route. All start points offer parking, toilets, snack places and accommodation. Some routes include stretches off-tarmac and this is indicated at the start of the route. Parking discs are required for some car parks and these are available at Tourist Information Centres and in local shops. Stewartry is part of the old province of Galloway. In those centuries when the easiest way to travel any distance was by sea, it held a strategic place on the west coast, Irish and Isle of Man routes. This explains the many archaeological remains near the coast.

  • A Landscape Fashioned by Geology
    64751 SNH SW Cvr_5mm:cover 14/1/09 10:00 Page 1 Southwest Scotland: A landscape fashioned by geology From south Ayrshire and the Firth of Clyde across Dumfries and Galloway to the Solway Firth and northeastwards into Lanarkshire, a variety of attractive landscapes reflects the contrasts in the underlying rocks. The area’s peaceful, rural tranquillity belies its geological roots, which reveal a 500-million-year history of volcanic eruptions, continents in collision, and immense changes in climate. Vestiges of a long-vanished ocean SOUTHWEST are preserved at Ballantrae and the rolling hills of the Southern Uplands are constructed from the piled-up sediment scraped from an ancient sea floor. Younger rocks show that the Solway shoreline was once tropical, whilst huge sand dunes of an arid desert now underlie Dumfries. Today’s landscape has been created by aeons of uplift, weathering and erosion. Most recently, over the last 2 million years, the scenery of Southwest Scotland was moulded by massive ice sheets which finally melted away about 11,500 years ago. SCOTLAND SOUTHWEST A LANDSCAPE FASHIONED BY GEOLOGY I have a close personal interest in the geology of Southwest Scotland as it gave me my name. It comes of course from the town of Moffat, which is only a contraction of Moor Foot, which nestles near the head of a green valley, surrounded by hills and high moorland. But thank God something so prosaic finds itself in the midst of so SCOTLAND: much geological drama. What this excellent book highlights is that Southwest Scotland is the consequence of an epic collision.

It owes its development in the 18th century to the entrepreneur James Murray of Broughton whose mansion, Cally Palace, is now an acclaimed hotel. In Murray’s day, Gatehouse became a thriving centre of water-powered industry and in 1795 had four cotton mills, a brass foundry, a brewery, brickworks, tanneries and a substantial population. Today it is better known for the remarkable beauty of its setting. Gatehouse of Fleet lies within the Fleet Valley National Scenic Area and is surrounded by ancient woods and hills. The mild southwest climate is reflected in the many exotic plants that grow in its gardens.
