	Kirkcudbrightshire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The county is still called The Stewartry by its inhabitants and forms the Stewartry area of Dumfries and Galloway Council, represented by eight Stewarty councillors.
		The treaty of Norham (24 March 1550) established a truce between the nations for ten years; and in 1552, the Wardens of the Marches consenting, the debatable land ceased to be matter for debate, the parish of Canonbie being annexed to Dumfriesshire, that of Kirkandrews to Cumberland.
		Though at the Reformation the Stewartry became fervent in its Protestantism, it was to Galloway, through the influence of the great landowners and the attachment of the people to them, that Mary Queen of Scots owed her warmest adherents, and it was from the coast of Kirkcudbright that she made her luckless voyage to England.

		Despite a brief effort by Stewartry, who were spurred by finding themselves in the Edinburgh half for the first time, Edinburgh were soon back in possession and, with a certain deja-vu about it, Waterson burst through from the twenty-two for his hat-trick.
		It should be said that Stewartry had holes in their defence that could have accomodated a large-ish elephant.
		Stewartry, in danger of becoming mere spectators, increased their efforts and came close to breaching the Edinburgh defence with a prolonged period of pressure on the Edinburgh try-line.

	Part 1
		ON THE AGRICULTURE OF THE STEWARTRY OF KIRKCUDBRIGHT AND WIGTOWNSHIRE.
		The north-west portion of the Stewartry is very wild and mountainous, and some of the hills rise to a considerable elevation; the highest being Merrick, which is 2764 feet above sea-level, and is the most elevated ground in the south of Scotland.
		Snow, when it falls, which is not often, seldom remains more than two or three days, and in some severe winters, when the high lands in the Stewartry and part of Wigtownshire, as well as most of Scotland, are covered, all the low-lying lands in the latter county are entirely clear of it.

	Scotland on Sunday - Sport - Stewartry forced to weep over brothers’ grim tidings
		Kirkcaldy, already relegated from the First Division and seeking to salvage some crumbs of comfort from a fraught winter, were patently charged up for this visit to Edinburgh and, fuelled by the nimble incisions and smart distribution of their English scrum-half, Richard Bethune, the Fifers soon swept into a 15-0 lead.
		Wallace managed to land the conversion, and the Stewartry aficionados briefly matched their drum-beating counterparts with the drone of the bagpipes.
		That might have settled the outcome, but Stewartry, who remained resilient and persistent in their endeavours, rallied again and with Kirkcaldy’s Craig MacDonald packed off to the sinbin, the leaders were pummelled by the opposing pack, prior to Kerr McMinn wriggling out of the melee and notching a try.

	Factors Affecting Land Supply for Affordable Housing in Rural Areas: page 9 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		7.35 In the remotest northern part of Stewartry, the general presumption against the development of housing in the countryside is relaxed on the grounds of its remoteness and history of population decline.
		For example, figures for small sites in Stewartry in the 1991-93 period show a ‘completion rate’ of just 42 per cent — that is, the number of sites on which schemes were completed during the period was only 42 per cent of the number of sites for which planning permission was granted.
		In the Stewartry context, this is often associated with an unsubstantiated claim that house-purchasing in-migrants to the area from other parts of the UK oppose new housing development — particularly social housing.

		Unfortunately nothing is known of the company's history, not even for how long they made the lathe - a model clearly aimed at the amateur rather than the professional market for whom machines by Boley, Lorch, Leinen, Pultra, IME and similar highly-regarded manufacturers would have been the preferred choice.
		The basic Stewartry was listed at £20 (with a chuck, countershaft and motor extra) but, even so, judging by the number of survivors, it can have found few buyers.
		Unfortunately all the makers of these shrunken replicas of larger lathes had failed to see what their customers really wanted and it was not until the arrival of the radically different Emco Unimat in 1953 that the market was really given it needed.

		Although Stewartry had gone ahead with only thirty eight seconds played through a Mike Gibson penalty, Kirkcaldy were very much in command for most of the first half.
		They should have been much further ahead by the time Stewartry struck four minutes from the break considering the amount of possession they had.
		Stewartry had rarely threatened in the first half hour but then two calamitous Kirkcaldy defensive blunders put the fl shirted side in the lead again with tries from Hamish Dunlop and Donald Dunlop both converted by Gibson.
