Sources consulted 81 Northlight Heritage: Galloway Glens Landscape Partnership Historic Environment Audit 4 Executive Summary An audit of the historic environment of the Galloway Glens Landscape Partnership area was conducted in January - March 2017. The audit has provided a baseline understanding of the GGLP area's historic environment and the key elements and narratives that underpin the distinctive qualities of the area's landscapes. For the purposes of this study, 'historic environment' is defined as a combination of physical evidence - including archaeological remains, artefacts, the built environment and bio-cultural heritage - and intangible associations, concepts and values that link people with place (Scottish Historic Environment Policy 2011). The study area is defined as the Galloway Glens Landscape Partnership area - 600 km2 of the Ken and Dee catchment areas in the Stewartry - plus a 2 km buffer zone. The historic environment record for the study area contains 3,342 entries, some of which are also listed buildings and scheduled monuments. About half are post-medieval or early modern to modern and just under a third are late to post medieval; the remainder are prehistoric, Roman or early medieval to medieval (using categories assigned in the local authority HER). Prehistoric (including Roman): 17% Early medieval to medieval: 5% Late to post medieval: 30% Post medieval to modern: 25% Early modern to modern: 23% Designated sites and areas include 57 scheduled monuments, 3 properties in care, 473 listed buildings, two conservation areas and two inventoried gardens and designed landscapes. The Historic Environment Audit drew together physical evidence for human activity - including archaeological remains, artefacts, the built environment and bio-cultural heritage - with elements of intangible cultural heritage such as folklore and traditions. It has highlighted the chronological texture of the area's landscapes at different periods and some key themes which emerge from the evidence. Elements of the historic environment show how, where and why people have moved around the area since earliest times - from Mesolithic routeways through the uplands and along valleys, to Roman and Hanoverian military roads built to control the region, to a medieval pilgrimage bringing the faithful to Whithorn and post-medieval drove roads that brought cattle from the Carrick to the Stewartry. Different cultural, political or linguistic identities prevailed at different points. British, Anglian, Norse and Gaelic place names and material culture are the relics of successive waves of identity and control during the second half of the 1st millennium AD. In the medieval period, the lordship of Galloway emerged as a

Materials: primarily wood and stone Style/Period: Renritsu/Azuchi–Momoyama Art History in Schools CIO | Registered Charity No. 1164651 | www.arthistoryinschools.org.uk Himeji Castle, Hyōgo Introduction Japan’s most magnificent castle, a Unesco World Heritage Site and one of only a handful of original castles remaining. Nicknamed the ‘White Egret Castle’ for its spectacular white exterior and striking shape emerging from the plain. Himeji is a hill castle, that takes advantage of the surrounding geography to enhance its defensive qualities. There are three moats to obstruct the enemy and 15m sloping stone walls make approaching the base of the castle very difficult. Formal elements Viewed externally, there is a five-storey main tenshu (keep) and three smaller keeps, all surrounded by moats and defensive walls. These walls are punctuated with rectangular openings (‘sama’) for firing arrows and circular and triangular openings for guns. These ‘sama’ are at different heights to allow for the warrior to be standing, kneeling or lying down. The main keep’s walls also feature narrow openings that allowed defenders to pour boiling water or oil on to anyone trying to scale the walls.

    Dumfries & Galloway Wildlife Review Cover Image: Hedgehog by Keith Kirk. Keith is a former Dumfries & Galloway Council ranger and now helps to run Nocturnal Wildlife Tours based in Castle Douglas. The tours use a specially prepared night tours vehicle, complete with external mounted thermal camera and internal viewing screens. Each participant also has their own state- of-the-art thermal imaging device to use for the duration of the tour. This allows participants to detect animals as small as rabbits at up to 300 metres away or get close enough to see Badgers and Roe Deer going about their nightly routine without them knowing you’re there.
