  • 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

    Sea Angling along the Dumfries and Galloway Coast Contents Introduction to the Dumfries and Galloway Coast 2 Common Solway Fish 3 Sea Angling in the Outer Solway 5 Sea Angling in the Inner Solway 7 Fishing with nature 9 Safety information and useful organisations 11 Minimum landing sizes 13 Acknowledgements and photo-credits 14 This guide was compiled by Jane Lancaster and Jeremy Roberts. 1 Introduction to the Dumfries and Galloway Coast This booklet covers the coast of Dumfries and Galloway from the mouth of Loch Ryan to the Inner Solway. The area is one of the least developed and most natural coastlines in the British Isles. The area’s spectacular coastal scenery is one of contrasts, with immense areas of intertidal sand flats, rugged cliffs and offshore islands. Along the coastline rocky bays alternate with estuarine saltmarsh, while steep mountains rise from the coastal plain. The Galloway Hills to the north, the Lake District to the south and the Isle of Man to the south west, provide the perfect backdrop to sunrise and sunset. The Dumfries and Galloway coast is also rich in marine life with over 130 species of fish being recorded in the area. Such diversity of catch combined with some of the finest tope, ray and inshore pollock fishing make the area a must for any sea angler. The importance of this wildlife is reflected in the area’s many conservation designations, which include Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), Special Protection Areas (SPAs), National Nature Reserves (NNRs) and Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). (Contact Scottish Natural Heritage for details - www.snh.org.uk) This booklet is intended to help you get the most out of sea angling along the Dumfries and Galloway coast, without compromising its wildlife, scenic value and other users of the coast.

The aim of the document is to give a general thematic background and to illustrate the scope of the proposed cultural story study leading to a Business Plan. The document is to be read in conjunction with the Building Condition Report, Topographical and Measured Building Surveys, Architect’s design proposal, and other supplementary information appended. dalbeattie community initiative - september 2018 1 dalbeattie community initiative october 2018 social and historical cultural identity The landscape of the Galloway has been moulded and shaped over millions of years initiated by the gradual crumpling of the earth’s crust tectonic plates between what is now England pushing up the Lake District mountains and simultaneously forming Scotland’s Southern Uplands and the Solway flats between. Subsequent ice ages’ glacial ebbing and flowing revealed the hard granite hills of Criffel, Cairnsmore of Fleet and Merrick while the soft red sandstone pockets in Dumfries and Lochmaben gave the region its future building materials and subsequent character and identity to the built form of its disparate towns, e.g. making Dalbeattie’s granite streets and Dumfries’ red sandstone townscape feel quite different. The Southern Uplands are the southernmost and least populous of mainland Scotland's three major geographic areas. The term is used both to describe the geographical region and to collectively denote the various ranges of hills and mountains within this region.
