  • 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.

  • Dr Alexander Craig Doctor in Gatehouse 1922 to 1950
    Dr Alexander Craig Doctor in Gatehouse 1922 to 1950 Birth and Early Years Alexander Currie Carruthers Craig was born in 1894 at Johnstone Bridge, Dumfriesshire. His father was Thomas Craig, a schoolmaster, who was born c.1858 in Holywood, Dumfriesshire. His mother Elizabeth Carruthers was born c.1862 at Applegarth, Dumfriesshire. The couple married at Dryfesdale, Dumfriesshire in 1886. In the 1901 Dumfriesshire census the family lived at the Schoolhouse, Johnstone. Alexander was 7 years old and had 3 older siblings (Jane, Mary and William) and 3 younger siblings (Margaret, Elizabeth and James). Alexander's schooling is unknown, but he probably attended Johnstone School, where his father was headmaster, and maybe later moved to Dumfries Academy. He attended Edinburgh University as a medical student, graduating MB ChB in 1917. In the 1911 census he may have been living in Dalkeith, outside Edinburgh. (Scotlands People index lists an Alexander C. C. Craig aged 71 – this should probably be 17) Qualification After graduating, Alexander worked as a temporary Surgeon- Lieutenant with the Royal Navy during 1918 and 1919. He also worked at the West Hertfordshire Hospital and the Bristol General Hospital. He came to Gatehouse as the local doctor about 1922, moving into Roseville, a large house in Ann Street. His surgery was a room in his house. His father Thomas also lived in Gatehouse until about 1927 and three of his sisters, Margaret, Elizabeth and Mary were living at Roseville when they each married during 1924 and 1925. Roseville in the 1930s Medical Directory entry 1925 Marriage and Children On 11th September 1927, Alexander married Margaret Wilson Armstrong at the United Free Church, Gatehouse of Fleet.

A-rLehan. JUison Jean JHaxtodl " " A witch <?/" my most intimate acquaintance PREFACE. CTHROUGHOUT Dumfriesshire and Galloway remnants of old-world customs stiL linger, suggesting a remoter time, when superstitious practice and belief held all-important sway in the daily round and task of the people.
