The prize was open to undergraduate or postgraduate students from the Crichton Campus, Dumfries for a research paper on a human or natural history topic relating to the geographical area covered by the three former counties of Dumfriesshire, Kirkcudbrightshire and Wigtownshire. In its first five years the prize has been awarded on two occasions. The Society has now revised the terms of the prize as follows: The prize is open to all-comers, (with the exception of previous winners of the prize) for an original, unpublished (and not submitted for consideration for publication elsewhere) research paper on a human or natural history topic relating to the geographical area covered by the three former counties of Dumfriesshire, Kirkcudbrightshire and Wigtownshire. Entries, or earlier versions, which have been openly published in conventional print or on-line (in e-journals, blogs, etc.) will not be considered. Entries from researchers at an early stage in their careers are encouraged. Entries must meet the editorial standard required by these Transactions to qualify. The current Notes for Contributors are available on the Society’s website: www.dgnhas.org.uk. The winning paper must be made available for publication as an article in these Transactions.

  • Moffat Academy Newsletter
    Moffat Academy Newsletter Summer 2019 Introduction Dear Parent/Carer Although the weather was certainly changeable over the holidays, I hope you all enjoyed this precious time with your children. The school is always very quiet when they are not in, so I was delighted to welcome them and the buzz they create last Wednesday. They all appear to have settled well and I am sure they will be enjoying getting to know their new teachers and making some new friends. We have enrolled a number of new pupils in our school and I would like to extend a warm welcome to them and their families. Exam Results Congratulations to all our senior pupils who received their exam results during the holidays. The examination picture across our entire senior phase was particularly strong. Our S4 pupils broke school records with 70% achieving 5 or more National 5 qualifications. Yet again, our statistics compare favourably with schools across the authority. There were some outstanding individual performances and these children should be commended. However, there are some pupils who may be feeling disappointed. Our message for them is to regroup, come and seek advice and work hard during this coming year to achieve all they possibly can. The excellent results across our senior phase is testament not only to the hard work of our pupils but also the dedication and commitment of our staff team. We are very fortunate that staff go above and beyond to ensure that our young people achieve all they are capable of. Staffing There has been a number of changes to our staffing to start the new academic session.

Many people have between them provided hundreds or thousands of records and this publication would not have been possible without them. More particularly, before my recording from 1996 onwards, plant records have been collected and collated in three distinct periods since the nineteenth century by previous botanists working in Dumfriesshire. The first of these was George F. Scott- Elliot. He was an eminent explorer and botanist who edited the first and only Flora so far published for Dumfriesshire in 1896. His work was greatly aided by other contributing botanists probably most notably Mr J.T. Johnstone and Mr W. Stevens. The second was Humphrey Milne-Redhead who was a GP in Mainsriddle in Kircudbrightshire from 1947. He was both the vice county recorder for Bryophytes and for Higher Plants for all three Dumfries and Galloway vice counties! During his time the first systematic recording was stimulated by work for the first Atlas of the British Flora (1962). He published a checklist in 1971/72. The third period of recording was between 1975 and 1993 led by Stuart Martin and particularly Mary Martin after Stuart’s death. Mary in particular continued systematic recording and recorded for the monitoring scheme in 1987/88.
