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.

Dumfries and Galloway Council made a preliminary decision in 2017 to confirm the proposed Whitesands flood protection scheme (“the Scheme”) as required by the Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009 (“the Act”). However, as there were outstanding objections to the Scheme, which met the relevant conditions as set out in the Act, the Council was required to refer it to the Scottish Ministers before making a final decision. 3. Scottish Ministers decided to call in the Scheme for their consideration due to the large number of objections and the issues raised. Two Reporters were appointed to consider the proposed plans and a Public Local Inquiry was held in November/December 2018. 4. The Reporters submitted their report and recommendation to the Scottish Ministers on 13 September 2019. The Act requires that Ministers must notify the local authority of their decision as soon as reasonably practicable after making it. Officials are currently considering the report and its recommendation and will put up advice to Ministers regarding the decision as soon as possible.
