Galloway Glens : Future Ready

Engaging young people with the heritage and landscape of the Galloway Glens to support thriving, sustainable communities.🔆

[Galloway Glens : Future Ready @GGFutureReady]

Well, today was my last day at GGFR.

Thanks to all who’ve interacted with or supported us as we’ve taken our first baby steps in the world.

Have a great Christmas and hopefully a better and brighter year in 2022.

Ciao for now 👋

A 'Ho Ho Ho' & a Barrow-ful of archaeological goodies - what more do you need to get into the Christmas spirit this week? 🎅

The latest edition of the @UofGArchSoc magazine is now available to download for free & you'll even spot some #LostWellsOfGalloway amongst its pages 🤯

A reminder that we're hiring for our @peatconnections project officer!

Our very best to Jayne, the previous project officer, who has moved onto a new role. We'll post her final reflections on the project in January.

#SiteOfTheWeek

The inn at #Polmaddy was the last building to be abandoned over 150 years ago.
You can still wander across the sites of 23 buildings at this protected fermtoun, with origins dating back to the 1500s & links to Robert the Bruce.

Thanks to @liammck for the footage!

Nice sunrise to get you motivated on a cold and miserable Monday

The Black Water of Dee Project is really pulling together, back to the remote steering groups for the time being but super impressive what has been going on this year and exciting plans for this year. Well done @Galloway_FT

Also seemingly bad for those with tiny bones ☠️

We’re having some work done on the roof at home and an owl has seemingly taken to hanging out of our scaffolding!

Time to see what’s on the menu, like some kind of Avian Gillian McKeith 🔎

Initial findings: Not a good time to be a beetle…

No? Just me…?

So far our attempts at convincing Team GG to release an accompanying David Bowie-esque ‘Let’s Grouse’ charity single have fallen on deaf ears…
