D&G constable tramples rights of Kirkcudbright sanctuary owner Although Bram Stoker’s infamous blood-sucking antagonist may have his bad points, one must admit that Count Dracula does, at least, have one redeeming feature: he will only enter someone’s property when invited.  Sadly, it would seem that Dumfries & Galloway’s very own soulless fraternity of the undead

Galloway MSP finally lands himself on DoD Wall of Shame Whether it’s appearing at the Royal Highland Show, collecting brownie points with fishermen in Port William, or chomping on a £15,000 slice of Big Apple pie with an all-expenses-paid jolly to New York, you’ll never find Galloway MSP Finlay Carson missing out on a photo

April to April Fool! Exiting NHS CEO lands long overdue place on DoD Wall of Shame Many will remember the departing Dumfries & Galloway NHS Board CEO Jeff Ace’s tenure for the accusations of bullying and victimisation under his watch.

The Battle of Port Palnackie D&G harbour legal challenge reaches High Court in London For several months now, we have kept abreast of developments at Palnackie, a small and picturesque port village with a harbour of historic significance dating back as early as the 1600s.  The diminutive size of the tiny Galloway village itself belies

Time to say goodbye  A fine tribute to a man of honour and integrity.  On Tuesday, 20th February, we said our final farewell to one of our own. The crematorium at Roucan Loch was the beautiful and fitting venue for the funeral of Sam Johnston, who with his wife Tina has formed an integral part
