  • Cults Loch Community Heritage Project: Final Report
    Cults Loch Community Heritage Project: Final Report Cults Loch Community Heritage Project: Summary Report Andy Heald, AOC Archaeology Group BACKGROUND The Cults Loch Community Heritage Project, which began in September 2009, is a collaborative study between local community groups, schools, museums, councils, archaeologists and local and central government. The overall aim of the project is to use the rich heritage around Cults Loch – particularly the 2500 year old crannog - to facilitate and encourage the diverse local communities of Dumfries and Galloway to be involved in, and inspired by, the discovery, management, enhancement, interrogation and display of one of the most important cultural heritage landscapes in Scotland. The project aims to involve as many people and groups as possible. Particularly important is the involvement of young people and any activities will have school children at its core. The constant emphasis on teaching, training and education, and the diverse media through which this is implemented, will encourage a learning and skilful region. It is hoped that the project may empower the community to drive forward future local developments and improve the quality of life and heritage of Dumfries and Galloway in an ethical and sustainable fashion. The project to date has had many activities. Central to the project has been the archaeological fieldwork centred round Cults Loch, Castle Kennedy which took place between 2007 and 2011. As well as involving the local community in the actual excavations and survey this component also included on-site training workshops, open days, organised school visits and tours. But the project’s geographical scope has stretched far beyond Castle Kennedy, culminating in an ambitious regional community programme, which took place both during and after the fieldwork.

  • 6230 Rhins of Galloway Flower Guide 200X110
    Flower Guide Identify clifftop flowers found on the Rhins of Galloway Coast Path This guide will help you identify 15 common seaside flowering plants found on cliffs along the Rhins of Galloway Coast Path. The more you look the more you will see so if a flower you discover does not match those in this guide then search the internet or a seashore nature book to help identify your find. This flower guide has been produced as part of the Rhins of Galloway Coast Path project managed by Dumfries and Galloway Council. Wild Thyme Cover: Sheep’s-bit on clifftop How to use this guide Where the land meets the sea is always a demanding place for plants to survive because they must cope with a combination of wind, salt and lack of soil. Bare rock faces are particularly exposed to extremes of weather making clifftops even more precarious. Many flowering plants have adapted to tolerate harsh conditions and flourish in places where larger less tolerant plants struggle to survive. The guide identifies the best time of year and sections of the walk to see each flower. Compare your find with the pictures in this guide; although the shape and colour may vary, the pictures show distinctive features which will help you identify what you have found. English Stonecrop Spring Squill Scilla verna Looks: This low growing plant has a cluster of starry blue flowers on short upright stems which appear in the spring. Found:On exposed areas of short, dry, grassy areas, it often forms large colonies 1 which brings a violet-bluish haze to the clifftops.

  • Mull of Galloway Trail Multi-Use Notes
    MULL OF GALLOWAY TRAIL MULTI-USE NOTES The Mull of Galloway Trail is a 37 mile long-distance route, combining the Loch Ryan Coastal Path with a recently developed 24 mile path between Stranraer and the Mull of Galloway. The route was established and is mainly managed by Stranraer Rotary Club who, in conjunction with Dumfries and Galloway Council, have over the past few years replaced some of the former stiles with self-closing gates and developed new sections of path to reduce the length on road. Overall, the trail offers great variety in both scenery and walking experience, showcasing some of the best of the eastern Rhins, but was developed and is still promoted primarily as a walking route. These notes have been produced to help identify which sections of the trail are multi-use and to enable horse riders, cyclists and other potential route users decide for themselves which sections are suited to their intended use. The table below offers a quick summary, followed by location and details of restrictions. Riders should be aware that many of the sections along the beach or foreshore are hard going, even on foot, and some are impassable at high tide. Some of the sections on road can be hazardous, particularly the short section immediately south of Dyemill, and between Grennan and Drummore. Although the route is signed, waymarking is in many places discrete and in others confusing, and the latest edition OS map inaccurately marks the Mull of Galloway Trail in places. The leaflet produced by the Rotary Club may help with route finding.
