The 2026 Qualifications Scotland (QS) results present a mixed picture, with strong attainment in S4 and some encouraging improvements in S5 attainment.

Residents, community groups, land managers, businesses and organisations are being invited to share their views on biodiversity as part of engagement on Dumfries and Galloway’s draft Local Biodiversity Action Plan (LBAP).

Friday 5 June will see the doors of the new school open to pupils for the first time.

Dumfries and Galloway is set to become a national leader in landscape‑scale nature recovery as two major regional projects – SCAMP Landscape Connections and the Galloway Fisheries Trust’s Flowing Forward – Restoring Galloway’s Rivers Project – have been jointly selected by the Scottish Government as one of only nine exemplar projects across Scotland.
