  • Place-Names in and Around the Fleet Valley ==== D ==== Daffin Daffin Is a Farm at the Head of the Cleugh of Doon Above Carsluith
    Place-names in and around the Fleet Valley ==== D ==== Daffin Daffin is a farm at the head of the Cleugh of Doon above Carsluith. There is a Daffin Tree marked on the 1st edition OS map at Killochy in Balmaclellan parish, and Daffin Hill in this location on current OS maps, across the Dee from Kenmure Castle; Castle Daffin is a hill in Parton parish and a house by Auchencairn. This is likely to be Gaelic *Dà pheiginn ‘two pennylands’. Peighinn is ‘a penny’, but in place-names it refers to a unit of land, based on yield rather than area. It probably originated in the Gaelic-Norse context of Argyll and the southern Hebrides, and was introduced into the south-west by the Gall- Ghàidheil (see Ardwell above). It occurs in place-names in Galloway and, especially, Carrick as ‘Pin- ‘ as first element, ‘-fin’ with ‘softened ‘ph’ after a numeral or other pre-positioned adjective. Originally a pennyland was a relatively small division of a davoch (dabhach, see Cullendoch above), but in the south-west places whose names contain this element appear in mediaeval records as holdings of relatively substantial landowners, comprising good extents of pasture, meadow and woodland as well as the arable core, and yielding much higher taxes than the pennylands further north. Indeed, peighinn may have come to be used more generally in the region for a fairly substantial estate without implying a specific valuation. *Dà pheiginn ‘two pennylands’ would, then, have been a large and productive landholding. However, a Scots origin is also possible, or if the origin was Gaelic, reinterpretation by Scots speakers is possible: daffin or daffen is a Scots word for ‘daffodil’, but as a verb, daffin(g) is ‘playing daft, larking about’.

  • In Dumfries & Galloway
    in Dumfries & Galloway 2011-12 We are once again delighted to present a varied and exciting series of workshops, lectures, concerts and conferences throughout this academic year. Everyone is warmly invited to attend and many events are free. This year, we are pleased to introduce the new Solway Centre for Environment & Culture, an important hub for research on the campus and throughout the region. To celebrate the development of this facility, we are offering several series of talks exploring the unique landscape and culture of south west Scotland. These include a four-part series on Landscape, Memory and Place and a conference in the planning, exploring our region as the Home of Environmental Art, in association with Wide Open. We look, too, across the Solway to explore Land and Sea, from the perspectives of Dumfries & Galloway and Cumbria. For those who appreciate the chance to explore a subject in more depth, we have popular lecturer Ann Karkalas exploring The City in Literature during a seven week course and Lionel Masters considering Pyramids of the New World, in Mexico and in Peru, over two days. Benjamin Franks’ half day course Three More Dangerous Ideas follows on from last year’s course. We welcome new speakers, too, from the University of Edinburgh and from our sister campus in Glasgow. With events running in Dumfries, Whithorn, New Galloway, Stranraer, Castle Douglas, Annan and Gatehouse of Fleet, as well as the popular Kirkmahoe Concerts, we hope you will find something to enjoy. We look forward to seeing you and we promise a friendly welcome, whatever your interests.

  • Dr Alexander Craig Doctor in Gatehouse 1922 to 1950
    Dr Alexander Craig Doctor in Gatehouse 1922 to 1950 Birth and Early Years Alexander Currie Carruthers Craig was born in 1894 at Johnstone Bridge, Dumfriesshire. His father was Thomas Craig, a schoolmaster, who was born c.1858 in Holywood, Dumfriesshire. His mother Elizabeth Carruthers was born c.1862 at Applegarth, Dumfriesshire. The couple married at Dryfesdale, Dumfriesshire in 1886. In the 1901 Dumfriesshire census the family lived at the Schoolhouse, Johnstone. Alexander was 7 years old and had 3 older siblings (Jane, Mary and William) and 3 younger siblings (Margaret, Elizabeth and James). Alexander's schooling is unknown, but he probably attended Johnstone School, where his father was headmaster, and maybe later moved to Dumfries Academy. He attended Edinburgh University as a medical student, graduating MB ChB in 1917. In the 1911 census he may have been living in Dalkeith, outside Edinburgh. (Scotlands People index lists an Alexander C. C. Craig aged 71 – this should probably be 17) Qualification After graduating, Alexander worked as a temporary Surgeon- Lieutenant with the Royal Navy during 1918 and 1919. He also worked at the West Hertfordshire Hospital and the Bristol General Hospital. He came to Gatehouse as the local doctor about 1922, moving into Roseville, a large house in Ann Street. His surgery was a room in his house. His father Thomas also lived in Gatehouse until about 1927 and three of his sisters, Margaret, Elizabeth and Mary were living at Roseville when they each married during 1924 and 1925. Roseville in the 1930s Medical Directory entry 1925 Marriage and Children On 11th September 1927, Alexander married Margaret Wilson Armstrong at the United Free Church, Gatehouse of Fleet.
