  • 1. Introduction and Pipeline Legislation
    1. INTRODUCTION AND PIPELINE LEGISLATION Introduction 1.1. Bord Gáis Eireann propose to construct a new pipeline between Beattock, Scotland and Gormanston, Ireland. The project is called ‘Scotland to Ireland – The Second Gas Interconnector.’ The pipeline will provide additional capacity to supply Ireland with natural gas from the North Sea and other international gas reserves via the existing Transco pipeline network. 1.2. The main elements of the project include an extension to Beattock Compressor Station, a new pipeline between Beattock and Brighouse, an extension to Brighouse Compressor Station and a new sub-sea pipeline between Brighouse and Gormanston. 1.3. This Environmental Statement examines the potential interaction between the Scottish Land Pipeline and the environment. The Scottish Land Pipeline will be constructed between Beattock and Brighouse. The land pipeline system will comprise a 36 inch (914mm) diameter pipeline approximately 50miles in length, and four Block Valve Stations (BV’s). The proposed pipeline route is shown in Figure 1.2. Background 1.4. Bord Gáis Eireann and the Irish Department of Public Enterprise initiated a project called Gas 2025 in November 1997, to plan the possible need for further transmission pipelines to meet forecast growth in demand to the year 2025. 1.5. In Ireland, gas is sourced from the Kinsale Head Gas Field off the south east coast, and the existing Interconnector pipeline. The Kinsale Head Gas Field is now in final depletion, placing increasing importance on the Interconnector pipeline. This first Interconnector pipeline was constructed in 1993 and runs from Beattock in Dumfries and Galloway, through to Loughshinny in Ireland.

The bulk of the features uncovered were previously known from cropmark evidence and are connected with either the extensive field system associated with the Antonine Fort at Inveresk or the series of Roman marching camps to the south-west of the field system. The excavation has identified a scattering of prehistoric activity, as well as Roman settlement within the field system, together with dating evidence for one of the marching camps and structures reusing dressed Roman stone.

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.

  • Grossart, Robert Dykes
    Grossart, Robert Dykes Robert Grossart was killed in February 1917 in an air accident near Beverley Aerodrome where he was based, probably for further training after he learnt to fly in December 1916. The CWGC entry for him reads as follows: Name: GROSSART Initials: R D Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Lieutenant Regiment/Service: Royal Flying Corps Secondary Regiment: General List Secondary Unit Text: and Age: 25 Date of Death: 09/02/1917 Additional Son of Robert Fraser Grossart and Wilhelmina Gibson information: Grossart, of Milton, Beattock, Dumfriesshire. Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead Grave/Memorial North-East of Church. Reference: Cemetery: KIRKPATRICK-JUXTA PARISH CHURCHYARD A University of Glasgow biography reveals Robert Dykes Grossart was a student at the University of Glasgow when the First World War began. He cut short his studies and enlisted in the Cameron Highlanders. His matriculation records show that he was born in Corrie, Dumfriesshire, to Wilhelmina and Robert Grossart. His father was a farmer at Milton Farm, Beattock; the farm still exists and is now farmed by W & J Armour. Before he went to Glasgow, Robert had an intense interest in air flight and he built an aeroplane while only 18 years old as his local newspaper, the Dumfries and Galloway Standard and Advertiser of June 1910 reports. When young Robert went up to university in 1912 at the age of 21 to study engineering, his family was resident at Milton, Beattock, and he found a place to stay in Glasgow, first at 90 Buccleuch Street, and later at 14 Willow Bank Crescent.
