Old Luce Community Fund Annual Report 1st October 2017- 30th September 2018 1 About the Old Luce Community Fund and Panel Old Luce Community Council established Old Luce Community Fund with Foundation Scotland in 2014, in order to create a single application and award structure for local groups in Glenluce, Dunragit and Auchenmalg; and a single point of governance, administration and reporting for the Community Council and fund donors. Funding streams from seven wind farms currently contribute to the Old Luce Community Fund. The Foundation receives and processes applications, supports a local decision- making body, the Fund Advisory Panel, and provides governance and administration of funds held on behalf of the community. The Old Luce Community Fund Advisory Panel is made up of two Old Luce Community Councillors and seven other volunteers with local knowledge and an interest in supporting the community. The current Panel members are Lesley Goodchild (Chair), Boyd McIntosh, David Ferguson, Fred Murray (Old Luce Community Council), Ian Paterson (Old Luce Community Council), Marion Muir, Claire Hunter, Allan Ross and Nigel Miscampbell. The Panel meets approximately four times per year to make decisions on applications and other matters relating to fund governance. Approved minutes of meetings can be found at: https://www.foundationscotland.org.uk/communities/funds/old-luce-panel-page/ 2 Income and expenditure report: 1st October 2017 to 30th September 2018 During the reporting period annual community benefit payments from the following wind farms contributed into the Old Luce Community Fund: Barlockhart Moor Wind Farm, operated by ENGIE, contributed £26,271; Carscreugh Renewable Energy Park Ltd. (CREPL) Community Fund contributed £28,303 in this period through the Old Luce Community Fund; Glenchamber Wind Energy Ltd contributed £18,860 and an additional sum of £10,506 derived from unclaimed payments from its Local Energy Discount Scheme; Greencoat North Rhins Community Fund splits its fund between established Community Councils areas. In this period £3,431 was paid to Old Luce Community Fund; ScottishPower Renewables Kilgallioch Operational Local Fund made a contribution of £71,250 to the Old Luce Community Fund; SSE’s Artfield Fell payment was received late but was due in this reporting period, so has been included here - making a contribution of £13,226 to the Old Luce Community Fund; SSE’s Balmurrie Fell payment was received late but was due in this reporting period, so has been included here - making a contribution of £9,341 to the Old Luce Community Fund.; The first 2020 Renewables Airies payment anticipated in this period was delayed, taking it into the next reporting period. Table 1 below presents a summary of the overall positon of each constituent fund. The deficit figures reflect the practice of allocating the full amount of any award at the point of grant acceptance following the Panel decision. This includes multi-year awards since the full amount is considered to be allocated at the point of award and not available for other activity. Appendix 1 includes a full list of all awards made in the previous reporting year to illustrate the scale and range of projects these committed funds are supporting.

The Old Luce Community Fund Panel, in consultation with Old Luce Community Council, established an endowment with Foundation Scotland for Old Luce in October 2016, with an initial investment of £25,000. The financial return from this is reinvested for capital growth, with the intention that it will provide an income to the Old Luce Community Fund after the lifetime of the wind farm community benefit funds, which is expected to be around 25 years. The endowment value at 30 September 2018 was £30,147.48 (£27,200.19 at 30 September 2017). Due to current demand on the grant-making fund, no further donations were made into the endowment fund in the reporting period. However the Kilgallioch (Old Luce) Fund does make specific provision for up to 2.5% of that annual contribution to be invested in an endowment and, in due course, the Panel and Old Luce Community Council may wish to utilise this facility. 4 Awards from Old Luce Community Fund Between 1 October 2017 and 30 September 2018, five awards totalling £134,276 were made to projects for the benefit of residents in the Old Luce area.

    Place-Names in and Around the Fleet Valley

    Place-names in and around the Fleet Valley ==== L ==== Lady’s Well This well, with clear water running under covering stones now overgrown by bushes, is in Skyreburn Glen near the site of Kirkbride Chapel. Lady’s Well, Lady Well and Ladywell are common throughout England and Lowland Scotland. In most cases probably, and in a good many certainly, the name refers to Our Lady. That is probably the case here, given its proximity to the chapel dedicated to St Bride or Brighid (see Kirkbride above), who was known from as early as the seventh century as ‘Mary of the Irish’ or ‘of the Gaels’. Among many other powers ascribed to her, she was patroness of women in childbirth, and a late-recorded legend from the Hebrides even portrays her as midwife to Mary. A similar hint of an association between the Blessed Virgin and St. Bride is found in Kirkcolm parish in the North Rhinns, which contains St. Mary’s Well (marked as a historic monument on OS maps) to the south of the kirktoun, Lady Bay to the north, and Kirkbryde, with St. Bride’s Well, to the west. In the absence of evidence, we should be cautious of speculating, but it is reasonable to suppose that some beliefs connecting St. Bride and the Blessed Virgin were associated with these places, and maybe there was some cultic use of the wells, with pre-Christian roots. As suggested above, the cult of St. Bride may have been introduced in the tenth century by the Gall-Ghàidheil, and such beliefs and practices would have come with it.

    Place-Names in and Around the Fleet Valley

    Place-names in and around the Fleet Valley ==== T ==== Tanniefad Tanniefad is marked on the 1st edition OS map as a small house uphill above Low Creoch; the name only survives now in the Tanniefad Burn that flows down into the Fleet at Stroquhain’s Pool. It is surely Gaelic *Tamhnach fada ‘distant cultivated spot’, very appropriate to the location. The Gaelic word tamhnach (in place-names often in the locative form tamhnaich, as was probably the case in Tanniefad) is an interesting example of a place-name element shared between Ulster and Galloway. It is used in Ulster for a small piece of arable land in an upland location that is otherwise unsuited for cultivation: examples include Tamnaghbane Co. Armagh, Tamney (otherwise Tawny), and Tawnalaghan Co. Donegal, Tonaghmore and Tonaghneeve (Saintfield) Co. Down, Tamnabrady and Tamnamore Co. Tyrone. It is less common in the rest of Ireland, and in Scotland is found most frequently in Galloway, but occurs in Ayrshire, in Argyll and Bute, in the north-east, and even in Caithness, although the word is not to be found in Scottish Gaelic dictionaries. In the Stewartry, besides the three examples of tamhnach in our corner (see Tannymaas and Tenniewee below), there are three former small farms named Tannoch, one above New Abbey (with Tannoch Hill and Gill), one in Colvend (spelt Tannock on the 1st edition OS map and by Maxwell), and the third (with Tannoch Flow) in Kells overlooking the Black Water of Dee, the north-eastern boundary of Girthon; each of these has a Tannoch Burn flowing past the site; another Tannoch appears on OS maps as a location in Kells parish on a hill overlooking Glenlee Mains and Old Glenlee.

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.

    CASTLE of PARK, GLENLUCE, DUMFRIES and GALLOWAY In

    CASTLE OF PARK, GLENLUCE, DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY In 1991 the Castle of Park was leased by Historic Scotland to the Landmark Trust, as a charity which restores and cares for historic buildings throughout Great Britain. The future maintenance of these buildings is paid for by letting them for holidays. This allows many different people, from all walks of life, to enjoy them and learn from them. Parties of up to seven people can now stay here in this very fine tower house. In 1992-93, the interior of the Castle was restored, to make it habitable again after standing empty for a hundred and fifty years. The architects in charge of the work were the Edinburgh firm of Stewart Tod and Partners; and the builders were Robison and Davidson of Dunragit. The History of the Castle The inscription over the door tells us that work began on the Castle of Park on the first day of March, 1590 (in time for a good long season's work before the next winter); and that Thomas Hay of Park and his wife Janet MacDowel were responsible for it. Thomas had been given the Park of Glenluce, land formerly belonging to Glenluce Abbey, by his father in 1572, and it is said that he took stone from the Abbey buildings for his own new house. This he built in the tall fashion of other laird's houses of the period, usually known as tower houses. Although very plain, it is on a grand scale, as is shown by the large rooms and the fine quality of the stonework.

    Old Luce Church CHRISTIANITY Probably Reached This Parish in the Fifth Century During the Activities of St

    24 Church Service Society Annual Old Luce Church CHRISTIANITY probably reached this parish in the fifth century during the activities of St. Ninian and his followers in Galloway. Two chapels that once existed in the parish —one dedicated to the Virgin Mary at Kilfillan and the other called Kirk Christ at Sinniness may have been associated with the later work of the Priory of Whithorn. In 1190 the Abbey of Glenluce was established by Roland of Galloway. Glenluce—usually interpreted as " The Valley of Light "—became an active Christian centre, the monks being of the Cistercian Order, and the influence of the Abbey continued for more than four hundred years. The freestone of which much of the Abbey is built is not available locally and probably came from Dumfries-shire or Cumberland. The Abbey fell into ruin from 1627 onwards. The parish of Glenluce was originally one with its church dedicated to St. Michael, and the church was served by a Vicar from the Abbey until the Reformation. The appointment of a Reformed minister is noted in 1574 and in 1636 a new church was erected. The next century saw the division of the parish into New Luce and Old Luce (1647) and the activity of the Covenanters. Another Old Luce church lasted from 1740 until 1814 when the present structure was built and it has now undergone two years of renovation work. Prior to the renovation, the Church was a fine example of post Reformation architecture. Access to the ` T ' shaped building was gained through a small entrance porch on the West Gable where now stands the new entrance Vestibule.
