LOT 1 – CROFTHEAD THE STEADING The Steading is approached via a tarmac drive running alongside the banks of the river before sweeping past the woodlands and fields in front of the houses. Originally forming a range of traditional farm buildings dating from 1820, The Steading was converted by the current owners in 2010 to create a well appointed home, as shown on the accompanying plans. The internal layout takes full advantage of the superb views, whilst offering ample space for entertaining together with the practicalities of country living. The accommodation extends around all three sides of the original courtyard and is mainly over one floor with the exception of a spacious master suite and a separate studio on the first floor. The rooms have been thoughtfully laid out to make best use of the space whilst also creating a logical flow from room to room. Both the kitchen and the open plan living room and dining room have a generous number of windows flooding the rooms with natural light. Of particular note is a large full height window next to a refurbished and operational water wheel which historically powered the farm mill. All four bedrooms have en suite bathrooms or shower rooms and the master suite also has a sauna and separate dressing room. The house would be well suited for a bed and breakfast venture subject to obtaining the necessary consents. A ground source heating system powers the hot water system and underfloor heating throughout the house, which together with the double glazing and high levels of insulation make this an efficient and comfortable home. It has an EPC rating of C. To the front of the house are two lawns enclosed by new iron parkland fencing and stone walls. There is also a fruit and vegetable cage. The owners have planted pear, plum and apple trees in recent years. The wider grounds surrounding the houses and flanking the drives have been improved and maintained to the same high standard as The Steading.

  • Moffat Academy Newsletter
    Moffat Academy Newsletter Summer 2019 Introduction Dear Parent/Carer Although the weather was certainly changeable over the holidays, I hope you all enjoyed this precious time with your children. The school is always very quiet when they are not in, so I was delighted to welcome them and the buzz they create last Wednesday. They all appear to have settled well and I am sure they will be enjoying getting to know their new teachers and making some new friends. We have enrolled a number of new pupils in our school and I would like to extend a warm welcome to them and their families. Exam Results Congratulations to all our senior pupils who received their exam results during the holidays. The examination picture across our entire senior phase was particularly strong. Our S4 pupils broke school records with 70% achieving 5 or more National 5 qualifications. Yet again, our statistics compare favourably with schools across the authority. There were some outstanding individual performances and these children should be commended. However, there are some pupils who may be feeling disappointed. Our message for them is to regroup, come and seek advice and work hard during this coming year to achieve all they possibly can. The excellent results across our senior phase is testament not only to the hard work of our pupils but also the dedication and commitment of our staff team. We are very fortunate that staff go above and beyond to ensure that our young people achieve all they are capable of. Staffing There has been a number of changes to our staffing to start the new academic session.

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.
