Galloway's Gazetteer - The Cree River Hatchery & Habitat Trust

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 08:13:05 GMT

A well stocked, well managed river brings a lot to a local community; it brings tourism, it provides an amazing learning resource and it can help create jobs and training oportunities.

Maintaining stocks of salmon in the Cree has been exactly what the Cree River Hatchery and Habitat Trust has been doing since its inception in 2010 and now every year the hatchery produces up to 200,000 young salmon - more correctly called salmon fry.

It's been a big month for the Trust; the river was opened for the season, it received one of two inaugural Orri awards from North Atlantic Salmon Fund and it has launched a Crowdfunder to hopefully double the £10,000 it received as part of the Orri award.

At the beginning of March 2026 Stuart Baillie met Hatchery Coordinator Murdo Crosbie to find out more about the history of the hatchery and how it goes about ensuring the Cree is a well stocked salmon river that is attractive to anglers and you'll hear how the trust hopes to spend the money it raises.

Galloway's Gazetteer - The Quarrymen's Creetown

Sat, 21 Mar 2026 06:35:07 GMT

The Quarrymen's Art Centre, opened in 2021, is described on it's Facebook profile as 'a wee venue at the heart of Creetown', it's all that and more. Brought back to life by a dedicated team of local people The Quarrymen's in home to Creetown's Silver Band.

Its re-opening was marked with a ceremony and, of course, by a performance by the band. The Silver Band had maintained the former church as best it could until 2009 but by then it was becoming clear that maintenance costs would spiral and something had to be done. Following advice and the support from Creetown Initiative, a trust was formed and funding was secured to bring the building back and give it a new lease of life.

In this podcast Stuart Baillie talks to Gillian McKnight and Douglas McDavid who are among those who have breathed new life back in to the old building and they chat about their ambitious plans for its future. There has already ben a huge range of diverse events from band concerts, Scotland on Tour performers which included jazz, traditional Scottish, country/Americana, folk and also theatre productions and highland dancing performances and as you'll hear from Gillian and Douglas there’s lots more to come.

People and Landmarks of the UK - Penkill Castle & Elton Eckstrand

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 16:26:16 GMT

As a 20-year-old cub reporter in the early 1980s I was invited in to the 16th century Ayrshire castle that had been the base for many of the nation's Pre-Raphaelite artists who aimed to reform art by rejecting the "formulaic" academic approach in favor of bright colors, intense detail, and "truth to nature," inspired by Italian art before Raphael.

My invitation came from Elton Eckstrand, a US corporate attorney who spent more than a decade restoring the castle and curating the artworks that hung on its walls. That castle was Penkill, located close to the town of Girvan where I worked on the Carrick Gazette.

Meeting people like Mr Eckstrand was one of the joys of the job I did at the time and Elton Eckstrand sure was an interesting mix, from his love of art and architecture to his passion for motor facing, muscle cars and dragsters.

Everyone knows about 9/11 not so many know that when the US closed its airspace, 38 planes carrying nearly 7,000 passengers from around the world were unexpectedly diverted to Gander, Newfoundland, nearly doubling the town’s population overnight.

Come From Away is a heart-warming and multi award-winning musical, based on this remarkable true story. The show follows both the stranded 'come from aways' and the townspeople who opened their homes, schools, and hearts to care for them.

Amid fear and uncertainty, strangers form deep connections, friendships, and even love. The musical celebrates human kindness, resilience, and community spirit in the face of tragedy – and gives us hope in today’s unsettled world.

Back from the brink - how Seaview helps people turn their lives around

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 16:50:37 GMT

Stuart Baillie has been writing about the Seaview Project in St Leaonards-on-Sea, East Sussex, since 2019. Seaview is a local charity that works with those on the margins of our society and reaches out to offer help to the homeless and rough sleepers.

Last Friday (Oct 3rd) Seaview staged one of its Big Sleep fundraising events. There was a night of live music and entertainment then around 40 hardy souls slept rough raising awareness - and crucially cash - to help the charity. Once all the money is tallied it looks like the event will have raised around £35,000 and in times when securing funding for this kind of work is becoming ever more challenging.

Stuart was one of those hardy souls prepared to brave the elements and during the evening he caught up with Seaview staff, supporters and volunteers and with people who are very frank about the fact that Seaview saved their lives.

Too many young men are taking their own lives and too high a proportion of those are former military men who feel cut adrift from the life they have lived and loved.

In Conversation With - Patrick Kealey

Tue, 28 Jan 2025 15:12:35 GMT

Patrick Kealey has been described as "...a masterful performer, his renditions of the different characters... are superb."

I've said before that I love meeting interesting people and Patrick Kealey is certainly that. An actor, director, producer and soon to be published author the 71 year old says he can look back on a life that he's lived on his own terms, with few regrets.

He's been directing a play at my local theatre here in Hastings and shortly after that he'll be back on stage with his one-man play The Life and Rhymes of Archy and Mehitabel which we talk about at the start of this interview.

Patrick has theatre running through his veins, he is passionate about what he does and he's sad to see the state of his industry with theatres and production companies closing, life for young actors today genuinely isn't like it used to be.

So sit back, relax and enjoy a fascinating portrait of an actors life and how they eek out a living when work is in short supply and phone isn't ringing

From The Stables Theatre – After Miss Julie

Sat, 11 Jan 2025 17:03:24 GMT

It's election night 1945 and the working class is about to elect a new Labour government and herald a seismic change in British society that will alter the old order for good. Meanwhile in the bowels of a large country house, beautiful privileged Julie, daughter of an aristocrat, is playing a dangerous seductive game with John, his lordship's chauffeur.

So begins Patrick Marber's brilliant update and adaptation of August Strindberg's 19th century classic Miss Julie. What follows is a night of brutal psychological cat and mouse, explored through Marber's typically searing dialogue. Themes of class, sex and money are dynamically explored and build over one fateful night to an explosive climax.

This is an unmissable opportunity to see a great play reinterpreted for our times by an equally great contemporary playwright with a wonderful trio of Stables actors ready to bring it dramatically to life.

As a young reporter watching Councillor Tom McAughtrie in action was fascinating. Over four decades he has been involved in some of the big decisions that have shaped not just the town of Dumfries but of the region as a whole. Over the years, and thanks to the the advent of social media, Tom and I have kept in touch and when I started doing these podcasts I immiediately thought Tom, with his strong views and opinions, would make a great subject and listening back to the result of the couple of hours we spent together I don't think I was wrong. You'll not be disappointed, Tom's views are as forthright as ever, especially when it comes to council officials working from home and Labour party complacency in the last decade and a half.

Thu, 18 Jul 2024 20:44:52 GMT

Ross Drury has never backed away from a challenge and his new challenge, along with business partner Dan Hutton, is to turn the Stade Hall in to the coolest village hall of all time, to create what he describes as a significant cultural building in the centre of town, hosting everything from pilates to opera and theatre via craft fairs and anything else local people choose to use it for - it's a blank canvass he says.

On leaving university all Ross wanted to do was pursue a career in theatre but always brutally honest about the range of his talents, he says he's a terrible actor which is why he chose to direct, "if I wanted to be involved in good theatre I had to stop acting" he says. Just out of university when the financial crisis hit he struggled to make his projects work and says on many occasions he was one mistake away from being homeless.

In this interview Ross talks with brutal honesty about his successes and his failures, about the need to be objective about your own work and says quite bluntly that as far as his career is concerned, at nearly 40 he has still not achieved what he set out to do.
