Have you any information about a burial ground located on the edge of Laurieston village? It is situated behind the village hall on a slight elevation. Local knowledge has it that it is connected to the Laurie or Lawrie, in some spellings, family of Laurieston Hall, Woodhall estate and that inscribed on a stone is the word "negro". The location is marked on maps as a 'tomb', the earliest I have been able to find is a map dated 1821 on the National Library of Scotland maps site. I have been unable to find any other written references or documentation.

Would you be able to investigate please?

I think the co-ordinates are 59.9597751, -4.06020661.

The last Mass was celebrated on Christmas Day 1585 and the last provost left in about 1590 with ownership passing to the Catholic Maxwell family of nearby Terregles House.

Thomas Pennant in his "A Tour of Scotland and Voyage to the Hebrides" in 1772 wrote, (of Princess Margaret's tomb ) " her bones till lately, were scattered about in a most indecent manner by some wretches who broke open the repository in search of treasure."

In 1882 the owner Capt Maxwell of Terregles had the ruins cleaned up and fenced off and a caretaker installed in a lodge house on site. In 1922 the ruins were taken into state care.

In recent years the ruins have again suffered from vandalism. It was reported that used engine oil had been poured over the effigy of Princess Margaret. Following this incident the effigy was removed in 1999 for conservation and protection and replaced with a fibreglass replica.



In 1970 another change in government control was followed by the publication of a white paper in 1971 implementing the commission's reforms in a modified form. The abolition of counties "for local government purposes" was enacted by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, with counties playing no part in local government after 16 May 1975, being replaced by regions and districts.


The Church of the Resurrection Gatehouse of Fleet, Kirkcudbrightshire closed with the last Mass being celebrated on the 1st February 2020 led by the Bishop of Galloway, William Nolan with the parish priest the Rev William McFadden.

The metal sculptures of the Resurrected Christ and the statue of Our Lady, by the Liverpool sculptor and artist Arthur Dooley (1929-1994) formerly on the sanctuary wall have been installed at St Andrew and St Cuthbert Church in Kirkcudbright.

Catholic Church Whithorn

St Martin and St Ninian Catholic Church, George St, Whithorn, Wigtownshire, 1959-60. Architect Harry Stuart Goodheart-Rendel, (1887-1959) his only known building in Scotland. The interior has seen some reordering with the moving forward of the altar from the East wall after the Second Vatican Council. At that time the baldacchino was demolished, together with the removal of the altar rail and decorative ironwork. The original Creetown granite altar was moved outside and placed against the eastern elevation. The East elevation has a carved Hew Lorimer crucifix mounted to wall.

Location in the former St John's church (deconsecrated) Castle Douglas at OS Map Ref NX 762 623.

There are two identical memorials in this former Roman Catholic church to the Cuninghames who were benefactors of the church. This is the only one with mention of military service and there are no other memorials of interest in the building. It is expected that these two memorials will shortly be moved to St Andrew and St Cuthberts RC church in Kirkcudbright which is where worship now takes place. The first photograph is of St John's church.

Erected by the congregation on the jubilee of the church 3rd December 1917 in loving and grateful memory of their munificent benefactor Captain Richard Dunning Barre Cuninghame who died 3rd January 1917

I have found nothing on Capt Cuninghame so I presume he was too old to be serving in WW1. Further information would be welcome.

A quick search in UKNIWM for Cuninghame reveals

History of Forneth The plot of land was originally part of Kilmichael and was ‘disponed’ to William McDonald, brewer of Castle Douglas, by Captain Archibald Black in 1872 for the construction of a ‘good and substantial villa or dwelling house’. All outbuildings to be constructed were also to be of a good and substantial nature with a slated roof and, as soon as the Crossmichael Road became a street, the section along the front of the property was to be paved. The extent of the plot was 3 acres & three roods and it was surveyed by Alexander Mc Michael, land measurer. The lands to the east and north remained part of Kilmichael while the Feu to the Castle Douglas side (Rock Park) was owned by Mr A.Dobie. Entry date was Martinmas 1872 and an annual feu of £24 and 10s was to be paid each Whitsuntide. The document was dated 21st December 1872.

Unfortunately, William McDonald died in 1874 with the house only partly built and the property was willed to his son John William McDonald. He borrowed £450 from his mother Jane Young Tennant McDonald in order to complete construction. He was also a brewer and lived in the property until it was sold, on 25th November 1885, for £1000 to Miss Jane Greig.

Jane Greig appears to have been a maiden lady living on a small and fixed income. She nevertheless maintained a pony and a servant (Annie Johnstone). She also benefited from the assistance of her nephew, Frank Eveline Greig, an importer and exporter resident in Birmingham. He inherited the house in 1917 upon the death of his aunt. She had stipulated that the house and its contents were to remain together with the upkeep supplied by the interest from her will. As little as possible (a clock and a sword) were to pass to one T.H. Greig, perhaps her brother, and the pony was to be shot ! The bequest not withstanding, it appeared that some investment was necessary to improve the property and Frank Greig borrowed £200 from Miss Lilian Mary Cornell of Tranvancore, Southern India. This was repaid in 1919 prior to the sale of Forneth for £1175 to Hugh Walter Boyd Crawford of Chapmanton.

When Hugh Crawford died in 1935, Chapmanton passed to his son, Walter Craig Crawford. The family also farmed at Caigton and his widow, Janet Leiper Crawford (nee Craig) moved to Dungarry in Castle Douglas. The boundaries of Forneth changed at this time with the sub-plot of 48 square poles and 15 sq yds being divided off and a right of way from Abercromby Road to the back of the stables being assigned to the Crawfords by Mrs Jessie Allan (nee Thomson) who had been the proprietrix of Kilmichael and now lived at Benaire, Ernespie Rd.

The new owner, Patrick Gifford, solicitor of Castle Douglas, bought the property for £1500 on 27th May 1935. The Gifford’s son, also Patrick, worked in partnership with his father in the town law practice. He joined the Auxilliary Air Force and, upon the outbreak of war, was serving with 603 squadron. He rose to the rank of Squadron Leader and was awarded the DFC after shooting down the first German aircraft of the war on 16th October 1939. He was killed in action over Flanders in May 1940. His body was never found but his name was added to the memorial plaque in StNinians Church in 2004. His sisters are believed to be Gwendolen Alma Moncreiff and Helene Audrey Gifford. The former had married Frederick Moncreiff and lived at Newlands, c/o Eldorado Post Office, Southern Rhodesia and £300 was bequeathed to the latter to travel to Africa, should she wish to join her sister.

The house was bought by Dr John Moffat and he moved from #1, St Andrew Street, Castle Douglas. He owned the house for 23 years until April 1972 when he sold to Agnes Hamilton of West End Garage, Springholm. Mrs Hamilton was reportedly associated with Garland Construction of Dumfries who bought the property in 1973 after the Hamilton’s had split-off the plot of land containing the stables (which was later to also include # 43 and #45 Abercromby Rd). Garland built the Castle View properties and sold-off the main house to Albert and Barbara Charteris. They, in turn, sold to Alistair Hamilton and he sold, almost immediately, to Nathan Davidson. The Davidsons bought the house in 1976. During these complicated transactions, the feuhold of Forneth had been bought-out by Mrs Agnes Hamilton for £228 from Grace Lusk Allan, formerly of Benaire and benefactor of the Kilmichael estates. Nathan Davidson transferred Forneth to his, then, wife Caroline Davidson in February 1980 and she sold it to Mark and Lesley Wainwright thirteen years later. Lesley ran the successful launderette business 'Domestique' from the premises between 2001 and 2007.

But still demand flagged for northern properties. Placing managers on al his stations Stewart went home in 1874 when he married Georgina Eeanor Maxwell, third daughter of Sir William Maxwell, Bart., of Cardoness on Wigtown Bay. Thereafter he moved regularly between Scotland and Queensland and finally, in 1881, he sold Telemon, Marathon and Southwick. This trip meant he missed the 1880 elections and his pobable political career, but, as he'd always planned, his stations fetched premium prices.22 Back in Queensland yet again in 1887 he sold his remaining station Fairlight,23 so that finally Robert Stewart could retire home to Scotland.

Back in Kirkcudbrightshire the Stewarts lived first at Glenlaggan, near Parton on the River Dee, from whence Robert could orchestrate his next key project: construction of their grand country house. In 1883 he had purchased Culgruff, an estate near the village of Crossmichael, and a mere 30km. north-west from the family seat at Southwick. Here he built Culgruff House, a three-storied 'noble mansion-house' complete with turreted tower, set amidst gardens and wooded grounds and with fine views over nearby Loch Key and Crossmichael on the River Dee. Quite the most striking room in the house was the morning room, with stained glass windows and vaulted ceiling above walls of double height and here on prominent display was hung Stewart's collection of Aboriginal artefacts.

Robert settled readily into the guise of the Scottish squire, assuming innumerable public offices; he supported charities, the school, the Church and various sporting groups and was a regular at the local cattle mart, dealing in stock and dispensing advice. It was in December 1902 during a visit to Southwick to attend the funeral of his sister, Mary, that he contracted pneumonia and, on December 27th, he died at Southwick House. He was 66. Buried at St Michael's Church, Crossmichael, some recalled his 'brusque and impulsive manner' but generally locals lamented him as a 'shrewd, intelligent, kindly-hearted laird'.24 'Shrewd' seems fair comment, for beyond Culgruff and associated tenant farms, his estate included an impressive portfolio of international bank and share investments and was valued at £85,000.25 A very shrewd Scottish second son indeed.

The High Life is a Scottish situation comedy written by and starring Forbes Masson as Steve McCracken and Alan Cumming as Sebastian Flight. Cumming and Masson met at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and united after several solo projects to create the theatrical BBC sitcom, The High Life. The two leads were based heavily on their famous Scottish comedy alter-egos, Victor and Barry.[2]

The series followed the cabin crew at the fictional airline, Air Scotia, flying out of Prestwick Airport. The crew consisted of the camp, alcohol-loving, narcissistic and vindictive steward, Sebastian; his sex-obsessed colleague Steve; their up-tight, antagonistic chief stewardess, Shona Spurtle; and the eccentric pilot, Captain Hilary Duff.

Sebastian and Steve longed to be promoted to long-haul flights to see exotic locations, instead of the current short-haul trips with their superior Shona, played by Siobhan Redmond, whom they described as 'Hitler in tights', 'Mussolini in Micromesh' and 'Goebbels in a Gossard'. The deranged pilot, Captain Duff, played by Patrick Ryecart, would need to be frequently reminded who he was, where the cockpit was and where he was flying to.

The High Life was interspersed with surrealism, childish humour, sarcasm and theatrical song and dance numbers. It only ran for one series due to Cumming's increasingly successful film career in Hollywood; however during an interview, Masson claims that a second
