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.

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.

  • The Mccords of Skaith, Wigtownshire
    The McCords of Skaith, Wigtownshire Alan Milliken, Scotland George F. Black, in his book Surnames of Scotland, offers an interesting explanation for the origin of the surname McCord in Scotland. He says it is an old surname in the parish of Ballantrae and cites Paterson’s History of Ayrshire as his source. Paterson, however, offers no examples to illustrate its antiquity in the parish1. From the earliest parish church records, which date from 1731, the names of a number of McCords appear in the baptismal, marriage and burial registers. On November 8, 1734, John McCord and Margaret McNilly both of the parish of Ballantrae gave up their names to be married before the Kirk Session and after the calling of banns three Sabbaths, they were married on November 28, 1734. Over the next ten years, John McCord and Margaret McNilly had at least six children2. 1. Thomas McCord bapt., February 12, 1736. 2. John McCord bapt., February 22, 1738. 3. Agnes McCord bapt., March 2, 1740. 4. Jean McCord bapt., June 23, 1742. 5. Unnamed child bapt., either June 12, 1745, or July 12, 1746. 6. Unnamed child bapt., May 30, 1749. They lived for a time in the little hamlet of Carlefin, which is located south of the village of Ballantrae across the river Stinchar. It is very possible John McCord was either the son or grandson of another John McCord, who lived at Little Bennan to the north of Ballantrae in the parish of Colmonell. According to the 1691 Hearth Tax of Colmonell, John was liable for the one-off tax payment of 14 shillings at Candlemas (February 2nd)3.
