Also a theft reported in Thornhill • Dumfries and Galloway Police working in partnership with U Division has been very successful and resulted in several back-road ‘operations’ being apprehended. Police continue to urge the public to be vigilant and to report any suspicious vehicles. • There has been problems with cars parked by visitors to Scaurbridge Cottage. Jane Leask reported on a meeting they had had with local residents to try to resolve this problem. The Leasks and the police are keen to work with local residents to resolve this. As the street lights already extend beyond the 30mph sign, they are looking again to get the 30mph limit extended. • Scaffolding is to be erected at Braeside House soon, D&G permission for this was noted at the last meeting. • The ‘road narrows’ sign at the west end of the village gets knocked by lorries. PCC to request a dog- leg pole. Treasurers Report • The account stands at £6,578.61 • £4,094 has been paid to the Joint Communities Benefit Fund. • Insurance has been paid £776.67. This covers hall, gala etc. Open Business • Windfarms: Dalswinton application for the grant for this year is now due. Innes to do that. Sanquhar II: There has been an extension to the consultation period. A decision by the Energy Consents Unit is expected in December. • Hall: Tim to get in contact with Maureen Halkett for guidance on establishing charitable status for the hall. Thanks very much to Margaret for painting the toilets. • Speed advisory signs: D&G recommend Morelock MSID Vario Radar Speed Signs which are solar powered. Caroline confirmed that PCC Community Safety Grant of £2000 was still available towards the cost of one if PCC were willing to match fund. The council need to check the proposed location. It was unanimously agreed that one on each existing pole at either end of the village would be the best location. Using the existing poles, two speed signs would cost £7500. Irene to see if Timber Transport funds might be available to cover the shortfall for two. • Salt bins: Innes to order the salt bins as discussed in the spring. • Community Council Enquiry Service – no update on repair of school lane wall or gate at the MUGA end of the park • Capenoch Estate Forestry Plan: Capenoch Estate had invited PCC to comment on their ten year plan. Copies of the plan were circulated to members in July as there was no meeting. No comments or objections were received as the proposed phased felling and replanting are thought to have no major effect on Penpont households. • Gala feedback: The gala went extremely well this year and was well attended. Tim will have a meeting soon to review and discuss plans for next year. Correspondence • Fiona had received a thankyou letter from Duke Richard for the loan of crockery for Dabton Gardens Open Day. • Kirsty Peden of D&G Council wondered if PCC would be interested in a Federation of Community Councils. It was agreed that this could be useful and to ask for further information. • PCC agreed to support the petition for a railway to Stranraer and to display a Food Train poster in the hall. AOCB • Irene had attended a meeting in Thornhill to discuss ideas for reducing the costs of running public toilets and libraries. This was not just about facilities in Penpont and Thornhill but region wide. The strong opinion of those present at the meeting was that Thornhill library hours must be protected and that Dumfries Whitesands, Thornhill and Penpont public toilets were very important and must be maintained. Options to reduce costs were discussed and formal consultation about proposals will be carried out before any action is taken. • Community Council elections: Penpont Community Council members all require to be re-elected this year. Election forms will be available from 13th August and all nominations have to be in by 3rd September. If more than 16 people submit nominations then elections will be held on 3rd October, otherwise all will be elected.

    Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 135 (2005), 423–442THOMSON; TOMBSTONE LETTERING IN DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY | 423 Research in inscriptional palaeography (RIP). 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. INTRODUCTION for the study of local communities, traditions and tastes. Moreover, it can be used as a cultural Lettering on tombstones of the late and post- marker. This can be established through a medieval period is a subject that has been detailed investigation of specific lettering styles largely ignored until recently. The author (Thomson 2002) or by statistical analysis of data undertook a survey of gravestone lettering extracted from a range of seemingly abstruse throughout Scotland based on a sample of 132 attributes. The analysis of data based on 42 mainland burial sites (Thomson 2001a).

  • Place-Names in and Around the Fleet Valley ==== G ==== Gaitgil Gategill on the 1St Edition OS Map, but Recorded As Gaitgil in 1469 (When It Was Alias
    Place-names in and around the Fleet Valley ==== G ==== Gaitgil Gategill on the 1st edition OS Map, but recorded as Gaitgil in 1469 (when it was alias ... Litiltoun), and regularly Gaitgi(l)l from 1560 onward. It is Gategill on the 1st edition OS map, but on current maps the house is Gaitgil, but the Hill and Bridge are spelt Gategill; the local pronunciation is ‘gee- gill’ (hard g in both cases). The second element is certainly either Old (West) Norse gil ‘a ravine’, or the same word, ‘gill’, used commonly in Scots and northern English (especially Lake District) place- names for a steep, narrow glen with a burn. It is not certain which ‘gill’ the name refers to. The Gategill Burn, upstream named Littleton Burn (see Littleton below), and downstream Waulk Mill Burn (see Waulk Mill), flows down a steep-sided ‘gill’ to the west of White Hill, but Gaitgil House stands beyond White Hill to the east, and the eponymous ‘gill’ could be the valley, again quite steep-sided, running south from Gategill Hill towards Conchieton, with the watercourse that is the Slack Burn upstream, becoming Pulwhirrin Burn downstream by Mill of Borgue. Maxwell takes the first element to be ‘road’ (see Gatehouse above): the road from Twynholm (the later course of the Old Military Road) skirted Gategill Hill on the north side, and the road from Kirkcudbright crossed Gategill Burn at Gategill Bridge by Gategill Barn. An alternative might be the Scots and northern English homonym gate ‘goat’ (Old English gāt, Old Norse geit). Galla Hill and Gallows Knowe These two locations, Galla Hill overlooking the Old Military Road above the steep drop down to Gatehouse before The Cut was made, and Gallows Knowe overlooking the old road from Anwoth to Carsluith, between Burnside and High Auchenlarie, were doubtless sites where the bodies of malefactors hung as a warning to passers-by.
