    CITATION MOCHRUM LOCHS SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST Dumfries and Galloway Site code: 1171 NATIONAL GRID REFERENCE: NX 295535 OS 1:50,000 SHEET NO: Landranger Series 82 1:25,000 SHEET NO: Explorer Series 310, 311 AREA: 456.36 hectares NOTIFIED NATURAL FEATURES Biological: Bogs: Blanket Bog Freshwater habitats: Oligotrophic loch Birds: Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) DESCRIPTION Mochrum Lochs Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) is an area of blanket bog and loch lying 7.5km southwest of Kirkcowan. The area of blanket bog lies between Castle Loch, Black Loch and Mochrum Loch and is the best example of its kind in Wigtownshire, showing a range of vegetation types. The lochs are also the best examples of lowland oligotrophic waters in Wigtownshire. The site provides a clear view of the variations found on this type of habitat. The drier areas are dominated by cranberry Vaccinium oxycoccus, purple moor-grass Molinia caerulea, heather Calluna vulgaris, hare’s-tail cottongrass Eriophorum vaginatum, cross-leaved heath Erica tetralix and Sphagnum rubellum. The wet areas are dominated by Sphagnum species with bog rosemary Andromeda polifolia, white beak-sedge Rhynchospora alba, deergrass Trichophorum cespitosum and bog myrtle Myrica gale also present. Mochrum Lochs hold the largest inland breeding colony of cormorants in Great Britain with some 343 breeding pairs recorded in May 2000. The lochs and surrounding habitats also provide one of the richest assemblages of breeding bird species in Wigtownshire of which there are 60 species within the SSSI. These include mallard, great-crested grebe, little grebe, tufted duck, red-breasted merganser, oystercatcher, lapwing, ringed plover, common sandpiper, redshank, common tern, gulls and various passerines.

That plan has been replaced by the Local Development Plan (LDP) which is reviewed every 5 years. The conservation area character appraisal is considered by the Council to remain relevant and so will be readopted as Supplementary Guidance to LDP2. Policy HE2: Conservation Areas ties the conservation area character appraisal to LDP2.

Tombstone lettering in Dumfries and Galloway George Thomson* ABSTRACT A comprehensive and detailed survey was made of lettering on all accessible tombstone inscriptions in Dumfries and Galloway. Using statistical and other analytical techniques, a large amount of data was extracted. From this, comparisons were made with data from the author’s previous study of inscriptional lettering throughout Scotland. The distributions of a number of letterform attributes were mapped, in some instances revealing clear geographical trends. The interesting subregional groupings in Dumfries and Galloway identified in the initial national survey were confirmed when the comprehensive data were used, though the distinctions were not so clear-cut. The rise of three more or less distinct area profiles identified using 42 letterform attributes is likened to the development of a dialect or accent, not learned by imitation, but subconsciously acquired as a consequence of living in local divergent communities.

It should be restricted to one thing, namely, Church Government. While it is usually found associated with the Calvinistic system of doctrine, yet this is not necessarily so ; nor is it, indeed, as a matter of fact, always so. Presbyterianism and Calvinism seem to have an affinity for one another, but they are not so closely related as to be essential to each other. They can, and occasionally do, live apart. Calvinism is found in the creeds of other than Presby terian churches ; and Presbyterianism is found professing other doctrines than Calvinism.
