  • Walking in and Around Dalbeattie and Colvend
    1 WALKING in and around Dalbeattie & Colvend The natural place to walk 3 3 Kippford The Dalbeattie and Colvend area is one of the most beautiful and diverse in Dumfries & Galloway with scenery ranging from forest to woodland and from saltmarsh to rocky coast. The area is also home to the town of Dalbeattie, the picturesque coastal villages of Rockcliffe and Kippford, and the popular Sandyhills beach. The variety of habitats support an abundance of wildlife. Red squirrels are a common sight, colourful dragonflies skim the surface of lochs and birdlife abounds. Look out for sparrowhawks, peregrine falcon perching on rocky outcrops and the many waders such as oystercatcher feeding on the mudflats. The area is particularly renowned for its rich diversity of butterfly species including the small copper, pearl bordered fritillary and purple hairstreak. Plant highlights include the shimmering carpets of bluebells in May and the tapestries of tiny coastal flowers such as English stonecrop and birds foot trefoil during June and July. Those interested in archaeology can visit the Iron Age fort sites of Mote of Mark and Castle Point on the coast near Rockcliffe. The town of Dalbeattie provides a good range of services and Rockcliffe has been a choice holiday village since Victorian times. 4 5 THE WALKS Wick Dumfries A 7 1 A 3 A75 7 1 6 Rounall Wood ...........................................8 2 Inverness 1 1 Aberdeen 7 A 2 Dalbeattie Forest Easy Access Trail A 74 5 Castle (and other waymarked routes).............10 DALBEATTIE 0 1 7 Edinburgh Douglas

  • EXECUTIVE SUMMARY South West Scotland Transport Study: Initial Appraisal Case for Change
    January 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY South West Scotland Transport Study: Initial Appraisal Case for Change Executive Summary Background In the 2017/18 Programme for Government, the Scottish Government committed to commence work for the second Strategic Transport Projects Review (STPR2) in the Dumfries and Galloway area. Responding to this commitment, AECOM and Stantec were commissioned to carry out the first stage in the Scottish Transport Appraisal Guidance (STAG) process, researching the case for investment in potential transport interventions in the South West of Scotland through an Initial Appraisal: Case for Change study. The key aim of the work is to consider the rationale for improvements to road, rail, public transport and active travel on key strategic corridors in the South West of Scotland, including those served by the A75 and A77, with a focus on access to the ports at Cairnryan. The study area includes Dumfries & Galloway and the southern extents of South Ayrshire and East Ayrshire and has focused on the following strategic corridors: • Gretna – Stranraer • South of Ayr – Stranraer • Dumfries – Cumnock Figure 1: South West Scotland Transport Study - Study Area • Dumfries – Lockerbie and Moffat Approach The Initial Appraisal: Case for Change constitutes the first stage of STAG and involves the following core tasks: • Analysis of Problems and Opportunities: Establish the evidence base for problems and issues linked to transport on key corridors across the South West of Scotland drawing on targeted data analysis and engagement with the public and key stakeholders; • Objective Setting: Develop initial Transport Planning Objectives to encapsulate the aims of any interventions and to guide the development of solutions; and • Option Generation, Sifting and Development: Develop a long list of multi-modal options to address the identified problems and opportunities, and undertake a process of option sifting and development leading to the identification of a short list of interventions recommended for progression towards Preliminary Appraisal.

  • Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 1 – Review of Current and Future Network Performance
    Transport Scotland Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 1 – Review of Current and Future Network Performance 7.16 Corridor 16: Stranraer to North West England and beyond 7.16.1 Setting the Context Corridor 16 extends from Stranraer across to the northwest of England, approximately 157 kilometres in length The corridor follows a largely east-west alignment, serving the regional centre of Dumfries and the settlements of Newton Stewart, Castle Douglas, Annan and Gretna, and providing links to Carlisle across the border and beyond. The corridor is largely rural with small settlements. The extent of the corridor and the location of the main settlements are shown in Figure 7.16.1. The corridor has a total population 106,500699, which is forecast to remain unchanged between 2005 and 2022699. At the same time, the number of households in the area is forecast to increase by approximately 4,000, a rise of eight per cent699. Much of the pressure for housing development is concentrated in the larger towns such as Dumfries, Stranraer and Annan which also act as employment and service centres700. The traditional agriculture and manufacturing sectors are facing decline and tourism is predicted to play an important role in the future local economy. Settlements which are close to the A74 (M) benefit from being able to access wider markets which could generate business employment opportunities. The ports of Cairnryan and Stranraer provide frequent and heavily used ferry services between Scotland and Northern Ireland. Stena Line, who currently use the port of Stranraer, are progressing with plans for a new ferry port development on Loch Ryan.
