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.

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.

In February, Mr and Mrs Machin Photo: Rab McHenry started work on refurbishing Marlin in Chapel Street. Whilst digging the garden Mr Machin unearthed an object which appeared to be an unexploded bomb. The police were called and they in turn contacted the bomb disposal unit. After detailed descriptions and discussions it was decided that the object posed no immediate threat and was removed from the site. It turns out it was a marker used by the Navy during the war. How it ended up in a back garden in Moniaive is something of a mystery. Can anyone shed any light on the matter? A police spokesman said, “If anyone happens to come across another similar item please leave it in position and let the appropriate people deal with it.” Darts - Open Pairs Competition Defibrillator for Cairn Valley Practice On March 7th the first open pairs darts competition took The donations given at Sharon Henshall’s funeral totalled place in the Craigdarroch Arms Hotel. over £1,350 and this was given to Cairn Valley Medical The event, sponsored by Gary Henry, was a huge success Practice as a result of all the support they gave Sharon.
