With funding from the Catchment Management Planning Project and support from Nith District Salmon Fishery Board staff, Borderlines, a not for profit charity, provided classroom sessions and field trips for a total of 53 children, gradually introducing the participants to the freshwater environment and eventually fly fishing on the River Nith. The feedback questionnaires from Kelloholm Primary School showed that all participants enjoyed the experience and would take part again. 79% said that they would like to take up fishing. The teachers completed questionnaires and said the experience had been very positive. This positive result led to the development of the Fishing for Knowledge Project. This innovative partnership project involved introducing children and young people between the ages of 4 and 12 from Dumfries and Galloway to the freshwater environment. They were introduced to associated animal and plant life and enjoyed angling in their local river catchment through a series of six tried and tested structured sessions with local schools. Solway Heritage coordinated the project with partners including Nith and Annan District Salmon Fishery Boards, Galloway Fisheries Trust, Buccleuch Estates and Borderlines delivering the project. Borderlines, a not for profit company with the aim of removing as many barriers as possible for all groups of the population, allowing them to participate in angling, took the lead role in delivering all the Schools Sessions and Family Fishing Day sessions. All School Sessions were designed to build both knowledge and anticipation; they improved not only participants angling skills but also knowledge of their local environment, its history, geography, geology, climate, hydrology, animal and plant life. The object of the sessions was not just to improve standards of angling and to teach youngsters how to fish. It was also to try to instil a caring attitude towards the local environment and get young people to respect the needs of wildlife and other users of that environment, thus reducing littering, fly tipping and disorderly behaviour. It was also important to encourage children out into the countryside and encourage them to take part in healthy sport and recreation. The project also held Family Fishing Days to give adults and children the opportunity to try out a new sport, along with learning about the freshwater environment. The Fishing Days were held at the waterside and included most of the practical elements covered in the Schools Sessions such as dipping for invertebrates, looking at river flow and plant, animal and birdlife in its natural environment. There was also an opportunity to have a go at casting with rods. Fishing for Knowledge Evaluation 4 In summary the project aimed to: Introduce children and young people from Dumfries and Galloway to their local environment in a fun, safe and structured manner, using angling as the “carrot” to take part and thereby reach an element of the population who may not normally be interested in such matters. Complement the national curriculum and so lead to increased levels of educational attainment among participants. Improve the level of skills, education and training. Increase levels of confidence and self-esteem in local communities. Assist in lowering levels of crime and disorderly behaviour, creating safer environments and reduced fear of crime in the community. Introduce young people to new leisure facilities previously unavailable to them, this in itself will have highly positive social benefits not just to their local town/village but to Dumfries and Galloway as a whole, allowing improved access to facilities, the countryside and open spaces. In doing so it will positively affect the wellbeing of local people. By raising young people’s awareness of the natural environment it will protect and enhance biodiversity, assisting in the maintenance and enhancement of the nature conservation interests of the river catchment and its enjoyment by all. Create new pathways for people to participate in different activities throughout their lives and encourage lifelong learning. Enhance access to a fuller sporting life for children and young people and give them the opportunity to develop their talents to the full, improving their quality of life through participation in new sporting activities. Fishing for Knowledge Evaluation 5 2 PROJECT SUMMARY This innovative project involved introducing children and young people between the ages of 4 and 12 years of age from Dumfries and Galloway to the freshwater environment, its associated animal, plant life and angling in their local river catchment through a series of six tried and tested structured sessions with local schools. The project was delivered by Borderlines through a tender process. They were assisted with the practical fishing through in-kind support from the Annan District Salmon Fishery Board, the Nith District Salmon Fishery Board, Buccleuch Sporting and Galloway Fishery Trust. They also assisted with the running of the Family Fishing Days. Schools were chosen from all five areas – the Rhins, the Machars, Nithsdale, Annandale and Eskdale. Each year four classes from one larger school or two classes from two smaller schools were given the chance to participate in this project. All of the sessions with the schools were designed to build both knowledge and anticipation; they improve not just participants angling skills but also knowledge of their local environment, its history, geography, geology, climate, hydrology, animal and plant life. The project achieved the following outputs and outcomes: 755 children took part in the Fishing for Knowledge Schools Sessions. 21 schools took part in the Schools Sessions. 318 training sessions were run for those Schools. Four Family Fishing Days were held. 88 people took part in the Family Fishing Days. Education packs with information on angling and the freshwater environment were distributed to 21 Schools. An information postcard for children was produced and distributed to each child that took part in the schools programme. Additional postcards were distributed during other opportunities. Partnerships were established across Dumfries and Galloway which helped to ensure the smooth running of the region wide project. Awareness of the freshwater environment was raised throughout the time of the project through press releases and information being passed through children onto families. Fishing for Knowledge Evaluation 6 The project has been selected as an example of best practice in the Leader Rural Awards. A short film of the Family Fishing Day on the River Nith was produced as part of the judging for the Leader Rural Awards Fishing for Knowledge Evaluation 7 3 PROJECT BUDGET The project was anticipated to cost £53,880 with Leader providing 50% of the funding (£26,940 awarded). The costs incurred by the project during the two years were lower than identified. This was due to a number of reasons: • Class sizes were smaller than anticipated and so it was easier to combine several schools in one day thereby reducing Borderlines costs. • Excessive rain and the resulting rise in river water levels meant that one of the Family Fishing days had to be cancelled in 2009. • It was not possible to organise one of the Family Fishing Days in 2010 which was hoped to be in Stranraer. The total project costs were £39,781.90. The actual amount claimed from Leader for the project was £19,890.95. Solway Heritage had to cover the costs of VAT as it is unable to reclaim this from HMRC for this project but was also unable to include this on the Leader claims. The remainder of the funding was provided by: Scottish Natural Heritage £7,140.96 The Catchment Management Initiative £3,000.00 with in-kind support from The Annan District Salmon Fishery Board £1,925.68 The Nith District Salmon Fishery Board £4,496.08 Galloway Fisheries Trust £1,150.00 Buccleuch Estate £2,544.00 Monreith House £370.00 Dalbeattie Angling Association £90.00 Kirkhouse Fishery £195.00 Fishing for Knowledge Evaluation 8 4 ACTIVITIES 4.1 Year 1 Schools Sessions The project achieved the following outputs in Year 1: 287 children from 10 schools completed the schools programme. There was a total of 144 sessions delivered i.e. six sessions to each of the 42 classes during May to December 2009. The ten schools engaged with were: Penninghame Primary St Ninians Primary Glentrool Primary Port William Primary Lochrutton Primary Kirkgunzeon Primary Johnstonebridge Primary Hottsbridge Primary Mouswald Primary Hecklegirth Primary Hecklegirth Primary in

Enjoy! CYCLING IN STEWARTRY This booklet is one of a series of four covering the whole of Dumfries & Galloway that suggest a variety of cycle tours for visitors and locals of all abilities. Local cycling enthusiasts, using their knowledge of the quieter roads, cycle routes and byways, have researched the routes to provide an interesting and rewarding taste of the region. A note of distance, time, terrain and facilities is given at the start of each route. All start points offer parking, toilets, snack places and accommodation. Some routes include stretches off-tarmac and this is indicated at the start of the route. Parking discs are required for some car parks and these are available at Tourist Information Centres and in local shops. Stewartry is part of the old province of Galloway. In those centuries when the easiest way to travel any distance was by sea, it held a strategic place on the west coast, Irish and Isle of Man routes. This explains the many archaeological remains near the coast.

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.

Constable Ltd. 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.
