Council’s CAT Strategy 4. Support for community groups in 2018/19 5 Community groups views on the support offered 6 Number of CATs in 2018/19 7. Reporting 1. Introduction This is the second Community Asset Transfer (CAT) Annual Report for Dumfries and Galloway Council. Our CAT Strategy is about empowering local people to make use of their assets to provide services to help our communities thrive. Community groups across Dumfries and Galloway have embraced the opportunity to manage and acquire land and buildings and CATs are expanding at an increasingly fast rate. The Strategy Objectives were about the Council putting the customer first, minimising bureaucracy and supporting communities to develop their creative local aspirations. They were about responding to customer feedback and developing supports and systems that respond to customers’ needs. Councillors enthusiastically endorsed the Strategy back in March 2017 and the challenge for the first two years has been to put these very sound and progressive Objectives into practice. Our Council continues to work on changing its culture to become more engaging and empowering with its local communities. It has reshaped to be in a better position to work alongside communities to enable them to thrive at a time of fiscal restraint. CAT is part of that empowerment. We are having conversations with our communities about their priorities and inviting them to a more participative, community led relationship. CAT is part of that process.

    SC5». S, f # I PUBLICATIONS OF THE SCOTTISH HISTORY SOCIETY THIRD SERIES VOLUME LI WIGTOWNSHIRE CHARTERS I960 WIGTOWNSHIRE CHARTERS Edited by R. C. REID, LL.D. EDINBURGH Printed by T. and A. Constable Ltd. Printers to the University of Edinburgh for the Scottish History Society 1960 Printed in Great Britain PREFACE This volume represents some ten years voluntary work undertaken for the National Register of Archives since that body was first formed. It has involved the examination, calendaring and indexing of all documents prior to the year 1600 of the following collections presently lodged in the Register House: Charters of the Earl of Galloway, Lochnaw (Agnew) Charters, Logan (McDowell) Charters, and Barnbarroch (Vaus) Charters; in addition to the following collections, still in private hands, Mochrum Park (Dunbar) Charters, Myrton (McCulloch) Charters, Monreith (Maxwell) Charters, the Craichlaw and Shennanton Papers, and the Cardoness and Kirkconnell Charters, as well as much unpublished material in the Scottish Record Office. I have to express my thanks to the owners and custodians for giving me the necessary access and facilities. In the presentation and editing of these documents I have received ready assistance from many quarters, but I would fail in my duty if I did not mention especially Mrs. A. I. Dunlop, LL.D., and Dr. Gordon Donaldson, who have ungrudgingly drawn on their wide experience as archivists, and Mr. Athol Murray, LL.B., of the Scottish Record Office, who has called my attention to documents and entries in the public records and even undertaken a search of the Registers of the Archbishops of York.
