Are We There Yet? was delivered as part of Can You Dig It, the community archaeology project of the Galloway Glens Landscape Partnership MS12 Did you know? MS12 (NX 64209 77640) sits along the A713 giving a distance to Dalry of 3 miles and to Parton Station at 6 miles. Lesson learned at this one – worth double checking a location during the winter months. The vegetation along many road verges will be thickest during the summer so you might need the leaves to fall before spotting any milestones hiding in their midst. There is a Milestone Society. A charity dedicated to “identify, record, research, conserve and interpret for public benefit the milestones and other waymarkers of the British Isles”. It was set up in 2001 and since then its members have recorded over 31,000 milestones, other waymarkers and tollhouses. You can find out a lot of information about milestones on their website at www.milestonesociety.co.uk MS13 MS13 The chunky-looking MS14 (NX 65480 74863) also sits along the A713. It was found by David just to the south of the turn-off for the ‘Hidden Road’. The stone gives a distance of 5 miles to Dalry and 4 miles to Parton Station. MS13 (NX 64601 76181) sits along the A713 giving a distance to Dalry of 4 miles and to Parton Station at 5 miles. Discovered by Elliot who thought that they looked ‘similar to milestones guiding the way to Killywhan Station from New Abbey’ so perhaps commissioned by the railway company. MS14 MS18 You might well spot MS18 (NX 69145 70126) as you drive along the A713 through Parton – it sits along the tidy grass verge to your left as you come into the village from the north. A simple ‘7’ represents 7 miles to Castle Douglas. MS24 Another good spot by Elliot, MS24 (NX 75417 63517) sits along the A713 with the number ‘1’ – representing that it sits 1 mile to the north of Castle Douglas. Did you know? Before the days of trains and cars, the 400-mile journey between Edinburgh and London would have taken 16 days! MS25 Located on the pavement outside NFU Mutual Insurance Company in Castle Douglas, MS25 (NX 76709 62683) was recorded by both Claire and Elliot. ‘J. Affleck, Dumfries’ can be found at the bottom of the top plate. 348 miles to London would have been quite a journey back then. MS30 MS27 A slightly tricky one – MS27 (NX 55041 76117) sits along the A712 near Clatteringshaws. Mapping shows its location at a layby further down the road from this spot and a slab sitting flush to the ground there might represent its original site. Eagle-eyed Keith spotted this stone at the coach layby for the visitor centre though, which looks like it could be a good contender! Located in a slightly more rugged setting, David recorded MS30 (NX 59350 77430) along the A712 which leads to Clatteringshaws Loch – a position that it appears to have held for at least 170 years! It has a ‘27’ for 27 miles to Dumfries. Also in New Galloway, MS36 (NX 63406 77674) sits on the pavement just in front of The Smithy displaying ‘Dalry 3¾’ and ‘NG Stn 5’. Keith noted that: ‘NG Stn appears to have been New Galloway railway station, which was located to the south in the village of Mossdale! Much of the original station can still be seen, including the platform and original station building, now a private dwelling. The station and line were closed in 1965.’ MS33 Sitting at the top end of New Galloway, MS33 (NX 63431 77803) displays either a ‘24’ or ’29’. No name is shown but Keith observed that it’s likely to be Dumfries, so probably 24. MS36 MS37 MS39 Did you know? From 1706 to the 1840s, Turnpike Trusts were set up to raise money for building stretches of road. They introduced tolls for using the roads, something which had been free until this point, which led to anti-turnpike riots across Britain. In Wales, these became known as the ‘Rebecca Riots’ where male rioters would dress up as women and tear down the tollgates. MS38 MS37 (NX 63347 76090), MS38 (NX 64096 74691) and MS39 (NX 65042 73421) all sit along the A762 between New Galloway and Mossdale. They continue the run of milestones down to where the railway station was located at Mossdale. MS39 was a little hard to find at first but Peter was determined and finally spotted it as having been knocked over. As proof of how solid they are though, it’s still in good condition! Sent in by Jo, MS40 (NX 65437 71947) sits along the A762 and is the last in the run towards New Galloway Station that once sat 1 mile to the south. Jo spotted though that the milestone appears to have been moved to the opposite side of the road from where it was originally located, likely due to the construction of the cottages close to the roadside in the late 20th century. MS56 Marking the 2 miles to Castle Douglas, MS56 (NX 76663 65919) has moved a few metres back from the roadside to become a beautiful addition to the border of a raised flower bed! It’s been well taken care of though and you can still see it from the road. MS40 MS74 This was a good spot by Keith – MS74 (NX 69520 53647) is hidden in long grass behind metal railings, within the grounds of Tongland Power Station. He couldn’t make out an inscription but spotted what looks to be a benchmark on top. MS69 MS69 (NX 76886 58553) sits along the B727 at the southwest end of Gelston. It has the number ‘19’ – the distance to Dumfries. MS76 (NX 68282 51064) doesn’t actually appear on the older mapping so its existence was brought to our attention by our surveyors. Keith took these images – it sits just against the wall to the south of Greyfriars Church, right at the centre of Kirkcudbright. The ‘27’ seems to represent the distance to Dumfries. This must have been obvious enough not to label it at the time! MS76 We didn’t originally have MS77 (NX 76338 62218) on our map, but Claire spotted it set into the wall of the Douglas Arms Hotel in Castle Douglas. Cast iron, it has an inscription at the base – ‘J.Affleck Founder Dumfries 1827’, presumably the same J. Affleck who created the plates on MS25, also in Castle Douglas. MS77 So 1827 makes MS25 and MS77 nearly 200 years old – looking not bad for their age! Did you know? Many milestones were removed or defaced in World War II to baffle potential German invaders and it is thought that only 9,000 of them still survive today across the whole of Britain. THANK YOU to all the volunteer surveyors: David Bartholomew, Lyn Ferguson, David G, Jo Gallant, Keith Hamblin, Claire Martin, Elliot Matthew, Peter Sewell, Ian Steele and Sarah Steele  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Text Any textual data included in the document Yes we can! We want to challenge you to a bit of a treasure hunt…for milestones! Did you know that these stoic waymarkers can be hundreds of years old? Milestones have been around since Roman times, but their heyday really began in the 1700s. They were designed not only to inform travellers of directions and distances, but to help coaches keep to schedule. At the height of their era, there were 20,000 miles of roads with milestones across Britain. Check out The Milestone Society website (www.milestonesociety.co.uk) for more details on their history. A large number of these mileposts have been lost from road realignment, broadening and other improvements throughout the centuries, but many remain hidden in plain sight both along the side of country roads and also in our towns. Can you help us find out how many still stand within the Galloway Glens? We can create a map of where the milestones once sat, but we need your help to find out if they’re still there and what condition they’re in. Some photos would be great too! Up for the challenge? Why not make it the focus of some of your next walks or trips out, on your own or with family and friends? We can give you the map, assign each milestone with its own unique number and provide you with a simple recording form to help you take notes. Tips on photographing your milestone: 1. Feel free to take photographs from more than one direction to give views of the milestone from all angles. 2. Take some photographs that have the milestone filling the frame, but also include one or two that are taken from a few metres away – it’s great to have a view of the feature in its setting to show what it sits on, what it’s next to and its distance from the roadside. 3. Close ups of any interesting details are also helpful, particularly any inscriptions, decoration or even later graffiti or defacing – it’s all a part of its history! 4. Please avoid having people in your photographs – this would bring up concerns over consent and we’d like the images to be available as a public resource. 5. We’re not looking for professionallevel photography here, don’t worry. Whatever you can capture is great and if it’s just one shot taken with your phone then we’d still love to have it! Pro tip www.what3words.com have assigned each 3m square in the world a unique three-word address that will never change. You can download their free app and use it to record the unique threeword address for your milestone. What if I don’t have a camera? What if the milestone’s not there? If you don’t have access to a camera or camera phone, then no problem. You can still record the milestone’s location and give us a description. Then it’ll be on record for people to visit it later if they want to take a photograph. We want to know that too! Many milestones were removed or defaced in World War II to baffle potential German invaders – another interesting part of their history! Be sure to check a bit further around the area just in case its been moved or is hidden in vegetation. It’s also possible that the line of the road has changed and the milestone might now sit further back. Also check to see if there are any remaining traces, such as a base or even just a depression in the ground – take a quick snap if you do spot anything! What if I don’t have a printer? If you don’t have access to a printer then just download our recording form to a mobile device or take a note of the headings as a guide for what you need to write down. What if the milestone sits on private property? Please do not enter private property without the permission of the landowner. If a milestone sits in private land and you’re unable to get permission, then you can still record and photograph it from a public space. This might mean that it’ll be from a distance, but this will still have value and more importantly, will respect the privacy of any residents. What will happen with the information? We’ll use the information to create a database of the milestones within the Galloway Glens area. This and any photographs will then be forwarded to the Dumfries and Galloway Council Archaeology Service who will add each site as a record into the Historic Environmental Record. This will preserve the knowledge and make it publicly available, but it will also highlight the milestones as a consideration for any future developments proposed in their area. Any More Questions If you have any questions about this project, just email helen.keron@dumgal.gov.uk or get in touch with us through the ‘Can You Dig It’ Facebook or Twitter accounts (@GGLPArchaeology). You can also let us know how you get on – feel free to share with us through email or on social media what you’ve managed to find – we’re always interested, and love a good photograph! Simply tag us by including @GGLPArchaeology in your post or tweet. Checklist You will need to take with you: · A copy of the milestone map from us, and the location of your selected stones. · A copy of the recording form, or pen and paper with headings for notes. · A camera or phone with camera. · A tape measure or ruler for measuring dimensions. · Some way of logging its location – either a smart phone with What3Words downloaded, a GPS or a good old-fashioned map! · Clothes and shoes suitable for the task – see our safety tips below. Stay safe: Recording Forms: This project involves working near roadsides, and your safety is more important than anything else – these stones have been around a while and they’ll be around for a while yet! A few tips to consider: For each milestone you find, we’d like you to give us a short description. To make this easier, we’ve created a recording form as a guide on what to write. · Stick to daylight hours and avoid weather where visibility is poor, such as fog or mist. · Avoid bad weather such as snow or ice. Remember rain will also make a grass verge slippery. · Stay vigilant for passing vehicles and follow the highway code when walking along or crossing roads. · Don’t stand on the road while doing any recording – do all notes and photography at a safe distance from the roadside. If you can’t get close to the milestone safely, then record what you can from a distance and use the zoom function on your camera. · Be as visible as you can – wear bright clothes or reflective clothing if you have it. · Be careful of obstacles such as barriers, road signs and vegetation. Also watch out for sharp litter. · Watch your step – road verges can often be uneven, sometimes quite steep or with hidden hollows or ditches, so take your time. · Watch out for animals that might be lurking and be careful around hedgerows which could contain nesting birds. · Avoid bare ankles or legs in long grass – ticks are common, opportunistic and spread Lyme Disease. Tuck your trousers into your shoes! · Take a note of the unique number that we have assigned to your milestone – this will be labelled on our map. · Record its location. If it’s where the map shows it, then just confirm ‘Yes’. If not, then there are a number of ways you can record its location – either as GPS coordinates, a what3words reference (see our Pro Tip above) or simply note where it is in relation to its mapped position e.g. 5m to the north of the map location. · Record its dimensions. Just a measurement of how high, wide and deep it is. · Give a description. Milestones vary in how they were made; some were of stone, others of cast iron and some a mixture of the two. They also varied in shape. Add in any details that you find interesting or think are relevant. Archaeologists also love a good annotated sketch (don’t worry, ours are rarely that good!), so feel free to use the back of the recording form if you want more space. · Is there an inscription? If so, write what it says, or what you can make out. · What condition is the milestone in? Is it damaged or defaced in any way? Has it been badly weathered or is it covered in vegetation or moss? How to send us your images & information: Email your notes and/or images through to helen.keron@dumgal.gov.uk · If you have used the recording form, you can either scan or photograph it & attach it to the email along with any photographs. · If not, then just type up your notes directly into the email.

Text Any textual data included in the document Moths at Home Final Report by Peter Norman & Mark Pollitt South West Scotland Environmental Information Centre for Butterfly Conservation Glasgow & South West Scotland Branch October 2019 Background Early in 2019, the Glasgow & South West Scotland Branch of Butterfly Conservation (BC) received confirmation from Galloway Glens Landscape Partnership (GGLP) that their application for a small grant for a project entitled Moths at Home had been successful. Moths at Home - purpose The agreed purpose of Moths at Home was to demonstrate to members of local communities the beauty and diversity of moths that live in their own gardens. The project will also explain the ecological importance of moths, how gardens can be managed for their benefit, and how recording moths can benefit their conservation, whilst being fun to do. A total of £3500 was awarded by GGLP to the Moths at Home project (total value £8000) and consent to start was granted on 23 April 2019. South West Scotland Environmental Information Centre (SWSEIC) was appointed to run the community moth-trapping elements of the project, for which BC purchased new light traps and associated equipment. Top left: Clouded Silver, right: Burnished Brass. Bottom left: Swallow-tailed, right: Drinker Moths at Home – Final Report 3 Project outputs On 2 May 2019, South West Scotland Environmental Information Centre (SWSEIC) was contracted by Butterfly Conservation to provide the following outputs for the project: Moths at Home – SWSEIC outputs • To organise 6 community events in Galloway. • Establish contact with relevant groups/individuals in communities in the Galloway Glens area. • Ensure wide geographical spread. • Agree dates and locations with communities for 6 community moth-trapping events. • Recruit volunteer moth recorders for each event (c3 per event). • Co-ordinate 6 events, including health and safety risk assessments. • Collate all moth records from the events and send validated, verified data to local and national databases (National Moth Recording Scheme). • Feedback results to all participants and communities after the events. • Reports due end of June and September 2019. • Ensure due recognition of Butterfly Conservation in publicity and communications. • Arrange project launch and co-ordinate publicity with Paul Kirkland (BC). With the benefit of experience of several other community moth-trapping events in Dumfries and Galloway, and a network of existing community representatives, the aim of SWSEIC was that a significant proportion of participants should be new to moth and/or wildlife recording. 4 Moths at Home – Final Report Project activities Project launch A photo opportunity at SWSEIC offices, Kirkgunzeon, was arranged for 4 June 2019, attended by Jude Crooks (GGLP), Paul Kirkland (BC), Mark Pollitt (SWSEIC) and Peter Norman (SWSEIC). A press release was prepared by GGLP with assistance from SWSEIC and input from BC. As a result, an article was published in the Galloway News on 13 June 2019 (see below). Contact with communities During the summer, contact was established with 7 community groups or community representatives in the Galloway Glens area. Meetings were arranged and attended with representatives from 2 of these communities; otherwise all communication was via email. The project was described and explained to each community and agreements were made to progress the project with all 7, though one community did not progress as far as finalising an event, due to failure to find a suitable date and/or participants. The events Dates and locations were agreed for moth-trapping events within 6 communities, geographically spread throughout the Galloway Glens area. The ideal number of traps for each community was considered to be 5-6, which would allow identification of the catch to be completed within a reasonable time period. Moths at Home – Final Report 5 Moths at Home – events • 15-16 May. Carsphairn (in conjunction with Carsphairn Community Woodland Ltd) at Muirdrochwood. • 20-21 June. Kirkcudbright (in conjunction with Kirkcudbright Development Trust) at Barhill Community Wood. • 26-27 July. St John’s Town of Dalry (in conjunction with Dalry Community Council) at Dalry Town Hall. • 16-17 August. New Galloway at CatStrand Arts Centre. • 19-20 September. Mossdale (in conjunction with Mossdale Village Hall Committee) at Village Hall. • 23-24 September. Crossmichael (in conjunction with Crossmichael Community Council) at Crossmichael Primary School. The dates of each event, the participating community group (where applicable), and the central venue where the event was based are shown below. Health and safety risk assessments were prepared for each event. The Mossdale event was originally planned for 8-9th August, but had to be postponed due to adverse weather conditions. Landowner permission for the placing of traps was not usually required since most traps were set on land owned by event participants, though permission was sought to use a central venue within each community, where the catch could be observed and identified. At Carsphairn where some traps were placed on land managed by Forest and Land Scotland (FLS), SWSEIC was required to complete detailed paperwork. SWSEIC met with community participants at a pre-arranged location prior to setting traps. This enabled the background to the project, the project partners and the ecological importance of moths to be described; traps to be allocated and their locations noted; trap-setting demonstrated; health and safety instructions delivered; and advice given on how to close up and transport traps. Participants then took the traps away and set them overnight in their gardens or other community greenspaces. In a few locations, SWSEIC staff set traps in conjunction with participants. A total of 35 traps were set. 6 Moths at Home – Final Report Prior to trapping at Crossmichael, SWSEIC also delivered a classroom-based talk on moths to P35 pupils. The following morning, participants brought their traps to the central venue where SWSEIC staff and volunteers identified the catch. Several of these identification sessions were advertised as open to the public. Events generally ran from 9.30am to lunchtime, though most participants only stayed for part of this time. Event publicity Participants were mainly recruited to events through personal contact via community representatives. This enabled people to participate without the need to divulge their contact details to the project organisers, a fact that encouraged several people with no previous experience of moth-trapping or membership of conservation organisations to participate. In addition, flyers (produced by SWSEIC, shown right) were circulated by communities at Kirkcudbright and Dalry. The events were also promoted at the SWSEIC annual conference in March and advertised through the SWSEIC monthly newsletter and social media posts. A small number of additional participants made contact via these channels. Volunteer moth recorders Volunteers to assist with moth identification and liaison with the public were recruited via existing SWSEIC contacts. Five different volunteers assisted, with an average of 2.5 volunteers per event. One volunteer also identified difficult species at home, in addition to attending events. A number of other volunteers assisted with other tasks at the events. SWSEIC kept a record of volunteer moth recorder hours and authorised claims for travel expenses prior to forwarding to BC. Feedback to communities Within 5-10 days of the completion of each event, species lists for each trap and a summary of all traps in the community were prepared and circulated, either directly to participants or via the community representatives. Details of useful websites, organisations and ‘how to get more involved’ were provided at the same time. At the final two events, Mossdale and Crossmichael, photos of some of the species caught were also provided to participants. Moths at Home – Final Report 7 In addition, all results (omitting personal addresses) were posted on the SWSEIC website at https://swseic.org.uk/projects/moths-at-home/ after each event. At the conclusion of the project, infographics were added to this website to illustrate the overall results (see below). Figure 1. Interactive map and charts on the Moths at Home web page showing the survey results. Moths sketches by Crossmichael Primary School 8 Moths at Home – Final Report Project results People A total of 34 different people from the 6 communities participated by setting traps in their gardens or community greenspaces. Of these, 2 participants owned moth traps but did not consider themselves as regular trappers; 4 participants had experience of moth-trapping at another public event; the remaining 28 participants experienced moth-trapping for the first time as a result of the project. Figure 2. Previous experience of Moths at Home participants Five different expert volunteer moth recorders helped with the identification sessions, most of them at more than one session, giving 16 volunteer sessions with a total of 63 hours and 55 minutes (equivalent to 8 working days) of voluntary work. Approximately 120 other people attended the events, in addition to participants (trap setters) and expert volunteers. This included around 45 pupils from Crossmichael Primary School. No formal feedback from participants was requested by SWSEIC, but the following comments were received: “absolutely fascinating information and we can’t thank the three of you enough for the time and trouble that you went to” “a really interesting morning seeing them identified” “Thank you for the well-organised and efficiently run event. I was amazed and impressed with the number caught in a small battery-powered trap” Moths at Home – Final Report 9 “We certainly enjoyed the experience and appreciate the help from you in doing the IDs and providing other interesting snippets!” “Thanks so much for organising the moth trapping. The children were all very enthusiastic and really enjoyed being able to sketch the moths.” Photographs of activities, participants and moths caught during the project. 10 Moths at Home – Final Report Moths From all 6 community events, 1921 moths were caught and 204 different species were identified. Every community caught species that were not recorded by other communities and records covered 19 different 1km squares in the Galloway Glens area. Figure 3. Communities involved in Moths at Home, and 1km squares where moth traps were set. The variation in catch size was mainly a factor of overnight weather conditions and time of year, the Dalry event being particularly favoured with good conditions. The low numbers of moths caught during the spring and autumn events, were compensated by species being caught that were not recorded during the summer. Moths at Home – Final Report 11 Figure 4. Number of moths and different species recorded at each Moths at Home event. 12 Moths at Home – Final Report Moths caught included the following highlights: Large and/or colourful species: • Puss Moth (top right) • Elephant Hawk-moth • Poplar Hawk-moth • Garden Tiger (middle right) • Fox Moth Scarce species in Scotland: • Clay Triple-lines (bottom right) • Devon Carpet • August Thorn Migrant species: • Vestal Trap by trap analysis has shown that a large number of species at each event were recorded from only a single trap, demonstrating the value of setting multiple traps in each community. Even traps that caught a very low number of moths, often caught species that were not found in other traps. Figure 5. Traps catching one or more unique species per event. A full list of species recorded and the summary results from each event is given in the appendices. All results were forwarded to the County Moth Recorder for inclusion in national datasets. Moths at Home – Final Report 13 Conclusion The Moths at Home project was successfully completed, fulfilling its stated outputs and reaching the agreed purpose. The results of the project can be summarised in the following statistics: • 6 communities engaged • 34 people actively involved • Another 120 people attended events • 5 expert volunteer moth recorders • 8 days’ worth of expert volunteer assistance • 35 traps set • 1921 moths caught • 204 moth species identified and recorded Outcomes The benefits of the project can be summarised as follows: • People from local communities experienced the enjoyment of recording moths. • People were introduced to the beauty, diversity and ecological importance of moths for the first time. • The value of private gardens and community greenspaces within the Galloway Glens area for moths and other wildlife was demonstrated. • Moth records were collected for the Galloway Glens area, which will be available to support education, monitoring and conservation activities in the future. Recommendations for future activities • BC and SWSEIC should consider how best to continue engagement with participants from Moths at Home. Two communities and several participants have already expressed an interest in repeating the events. • BC and SWSEIC should consider whether the principles of Moths at Home can continue to be applied more widely (community moth-trapping events have already been held during summer 2019 at Kirkgunzeon, Lochmaben and Glencaple using Moths at Home principles). • GGLP should consider whether the principles of Moths at Home can be applied to other species groups in the Galloway Glens area. • FLS should review their requirement for a detailed application for permission to run small-scale and low-risk activities events of this type on land that they manage. 14 Moths at Home – Final Report Acknowledgements Special thanks to the community representatives, without whom the project could not have been completed: Wendy Fenton (Carsphairn), Rob Asbridge (Kirkcudbright), Andrew Bielinski (Dalry), Joan Howie (New Galloway), John Houfe (Mossdale), Richard Middleton (Crossmichael) and Kate Adamson (Crossmichael).
