An online protest group formed to co-ordinate opposition to mining activity in Galloway has gathered almost 1,000 supporters in three days.
Galloway Against Mining was set up on Facebook on Saturday and by yesterday morning membership had climbed to 966.
Campaigners decided to created the forum following a heated public meeting on in Newton Stewart last week.

Gold, silver, lead, copper, zinc and nickel are among the metals detected so far – but whether extracting them would be economically viable has yet to be determined.
In a letter to local politicians, Galloway Against Mining member Nic
