The halfway point has been reached in an extended public consultation into whether Galloway should become Scotland's third national park.

NatureScot is conducting the process which ends on 14 February, two weeks later than originally tabled to take into account the festive period.

So, after weeks of public meetings, paper and online consultations, has anyone changed their mind?

There has been anger and frustration among both supporters and objectors in what has turned out to be one of the most contentious issues raised in Dumfries and Galloway.
