Loch Beannacharan

Loch Beannacharan is a freshwater loch in Glen Strathfarrar, situated roughly 9.5 kilometres (5.9 mi) west of the village of Struy. The loch sits on the River Farrar, which runs from Loch Monar to meet the River Glass, forming the River Beauly. The loch's name likely derives from the Scottish Gaelic beannach, meaning "peaked" or "horned", the suffix -an acting as a diminutive. Hence, the loch's name may mean "Little Horned Loch" or "Loch in the Place of the Little Peaks". Prior to WWII, most of the old Caledonian forest on the north shore of Loch Beannacharan was cut down. The land surrounding the loch is arable, and was formerly owned by the Lords Lovat but used mostly for hunting deer. Sheep were brought from Lanark in the 1950s to graze the land. One kilometre downstream from the loch is the Beannacharan Dam, constructed in 1951 as part of the Affric-Beauly hydro-electric power scheme. Deanie Power Station sits on the loch's northwest shore, though electricity generated there comes from water from Loch Monar, pumped via a 9km tunnel. References

Kili Holm

Kili Holm ist eine flache Gezeiteninsel der Orkneyinseln in Schottland, die bei Ebbe über den Smithy Sound mit der südwestlich gelegenen Insel Egilsay verbunden ist. Kili Holm besteht aus rotem Sandstein. Auf der Insel, die als ertragsarme Schafweide verwendet wird, gibt es einen noch nicht untersuchten Cairn (Steinhügel). Ungewöhnlich, und wie bei Egilsay, kann der Name des Holm eine gälische Etymologie haben. In diesem Fall bedeutete Cilles eine Mönchszelle. Egilsay könnte von eaglais (Kirche) abgeleitet sein. Es kann eine weitere „Papey“ bzw. Insel der Papar oder Culdeer gewesen sein. Der Nordosten ist als Point of Ridden bekannt, der Nordwesten als Point of Pitten (ggf. auch Gälisch abgeleitet). Der Westen wird Marlow genannt. Weblinks Bild: Blick über den Smithy Sound auf Kili Holm Eintrag zu Kili Holm auf trove.scot, der Datenbank von Historic Environment Scotland (englisch)
Kili Holm

Kili Holm is a tidal island in the Orkney Islands, linked to Egilsay. Unusually, like its neighbour Egilsay, it may have a partly Gaelic etymology, in this case from cille meaning a monk's cell (Egilsay may derive from eaglais a church). This may make it another “Papey” or island of the papar or culdees. There is a cairn on the island, and it is currently used as rough grazing for sheep. Geography and geology Kili Holm is made up of red sandstone. It is separated from Egilsay by Smithy Sound, which dries out at low tide. The north east is known as Point of Ridden, and the north west as Point of Pitten. The west is known as Marlow. It is due east of Rousay, and much further to the north is Westray. References
Kili Holm

Kili Holm è una piccola isola tidale delle Orcadi, in Scozia, collegata ad Egilsay. Stranamente, proprio come per Eglisay, l'origine del nome potrebbe essere gaelica e non norrena: "Kili" proverrebbe da Cille, termine che indicava la cella di un monaco, (Egilsay deriverebbe da eaglais, ovvero chiesa). Questo indicherebbe un antico insediamento nella zona da parte dei Papar. Geografia e geologia L'isola è costituita da arenaria rossa. È separata da Egilsay dallo Smithy Sound, che si asciuga durante la bassa marea. L'estremo nord-est dell'isola è conosciuto come Point of Ridden, mentre quello nord-ovest come Point of Pitten. La parte ovest dell'isola è chiamata Marlow. Altri progetti Wikimedia Commons contiene immagini o altri file su Kili Holm

The Golf House Club

The Golf House Club, Elie established in 1875, is a historic members golf club located in the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. Members have playing rights over Elie Links, a UK Top 100 Golf Course. Approximately ten miles from the "spiritual home of golf" at St. Andrews, golf has been played over the links of Elie since the 1500s. The clubhouse of the GHC is situated directly adjacent to the first tee. The current course, a par 70 6251-yard course, was largely designed by Old Tom Morris and James Braid in 1895. The current club, the Golf House Club, was founded in 1875 with the building of the clubhouse. An extension, the work of John Currie, was added in 1907. An unusual feature is the periscope from the Royal Navy submarine HMS Excalibur, that was launched in 1955 and scrapped in 1968. The periscope is installed in the starter's hut; players and visitors may use it to view the golf course. References External links Official site
ВЕС Абердін

ВЕС Абердін (відома також як European Offshore Wind Deployment Center, EOWDC) – британська офшорна вітроелектростанція, розташована в Північному морі біля узбережжя Шотландії. Місце для розміщення ВЕС обрали у 3 км від берега. Тут восени 2017 року каменеукладальне судно Rockpiper провело роботи з попередньої підготовки площадок під фундаменти вітроагрегатів. Останні відносились до кесонного типу (suction bucket jacket), при цьому верхню частину конструкції виготовляли у бельгійському Гобокені та доставляли в Ньюкасл, де відбувалось з’єднання з нижніми частинами опор. У березні 2018-го плавучий кран великої вантажопідйомності Asian Hercules III розпочав встановлення фундаментів, встановивши першу конструкцію вагою 1800 тон та висотою 77 метрів. В травні того ж року задіяли інше судно Aegir, завданням якого був монтаж п'яти фундаментів вагою до 1300 тон та висотою до 81 метра. В березні 2018-го спеціалізоване судно для встановлення вітрових турбін Pacific Orca прибуло для їх отримання до данського Есб’єргу. Розташована поруч з узбережжям ВЕС не потребує власної офшорної підстанції, а видача продукції відбуватиметься через два експортні кабелі довжиною по 6,5 км, розраховані на напругу 66 кВ (таку ж, як і для з’єднувальних кабелів між турбінами). Їх прокладання наприкінці зими 2018-го здійснило судно Ndurance. На суходолі кабелі під’єднуються до підстанції Blackdog, де встановили новий трансформатор 66/132 кВ. Станція складається з 11 вітроагрегатів компанії Vestas типу V164 з одиничною потужністю 8,4 МВт. Проект реалізується шведською енергетичною корпорацією Vattenfall. Примітки
Erskine Golf Club

Erskine Golf Club is on the banks of the River Clyde at Erskine, Renfrewshire. It sits on the border between Erskine and Bishopton. The club takes its name from the former Erskine Estate. History The course was founded by the land owner of the Erskine Estate, William Arthur Baird. He wanted to construct a course on his land and enrolled the help of three friends. Leslie Balfour-Melville, Robert Maxwell and Norman Mitchell Innes helped layout the course at Erskine in 1901. Baird then encouraged Willie Fernie (open champion 1883) to develop the course into 18 holes between 1903 and 1904. The course opened on Saturday 12 March 1904. An exhibition match was played between Willie Fernie and Ben Sayers. Later in the year a meeting was held in Bishopton Primary School and the club was established. Baird became the first captain and in 1905 built the clubhouse, furnished it and maintained at his own expense. The club managed to carry on through World War I and in 1920 enlisted the help of Dr Alister MacKenzie to redesign the 12th and 13th holes. In homage these holes are named after their designer. James Braid (five times open champion) redesigned the course in 1937. He added new bunkers and holes and improvements to the design of the greens. This is the course as it is today.

Dundee House

Dundee House is a municipal building in North Lindsay Street in Dundee, Scotland. The original part of the structure, which currently serves as the administrative headquarters of Dundee City Council, is Category B listed. History The site occupied by the building, on the west side of North Lindsay Street, was quarried in the first half of the 19th century. It was then reclaimed in the early 20th century for the purpose of erecting a factory for Halley Brothers, who were manufacturers of hackles, gills and pins for the textile industry. The building was designed by Harry Thomson, built in sandstone and was completed in 1911. It was later used as a printing works for DC Thomson. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of 15 bays facing onto North Lindsey Street. There were a series of openings on the ground floor, while the first floor was fenestrated by a series of tri-partite mullioned windows interspersed with Diocletian windows. The second and third floors were fenestrated entirely by tri-partite mullioned windows. In the early 21st century, the factory was acquired by Dundee City Council with the intention of creating a new administrative headquarters to replace Tayside House. A new structure, consisting of three six-storey interconnected blocks, was erected behind the original structure. The new structure was designed by Reiach and Hall, built by Lendlease using brick piers and concrete slabs at a cost of £29 million, and was officially opened in August 2011. The project won two prestigious architecture awards: a Royal Institute of British Architects award for architectural excellence and the best commercial office/building or project outside London in the Roses Design Awards. Canada Life acquired the building in a sale and leaseback deal in August 2019. References
Tarbert Castle

Tarbert Castle ist die Ruine einer Höhenburg am Südufer des East Loch Tarbert am nördlichen Ende der Halbinsel Kintyre in der schottischen Council Area Argyll and Bute. Im Mittelalter war Tarbert Castle eine strategische, königliche Festung und eine von drei Burgen in Tarbert. Die Konstruktion stammt aus der Zeit vor dem 14. Jahrhundert und liegt über dem Hafen. Der Turm stammt aus der Zeit des Besuchs von König Jakob IV. in den westlichen Highlands 1494. Geschichte Im Jahre 712 wurde Tarbert von den Truppen des Königs Selbach mac Ferchair aus Cenél Loairn und Dalriada niedergebrannt und 731 erneut durch dessen Sohn Dúngal mac Selbaig. 1292 übergab König Eduard II. von England die Kontrolle über die Burg an den schottischen König John Balliol. In den 1320er-Jahren ließ Robert the Bruce die Burg durch Anbau eines äußeren Hofes und von Türmen verstärken, um sie gegen die Angriffe der Lords of the Isles zu schützen. Ein Tower House wurde im 16. Jahrhundert hinzugefügt; heute ist dies der auffälligste Teil der erhaltenen Ruinen. Die Burgruine steht auf einem Hügel über dem Dorf und bietet ein Blick den Loch Fyne hinauf und bis zum Firth of Clyde. Diese Burg nahmen die Truppen König Jakobs IV. 1494 von John MacDonald of Islay, Lord of the Isles, im Zuge der Kampagne gegen die Macht der Lords of the Isles ein. 1687 war die Burg in ein weiteres Scharmützel verwickelt, als Walter Campbell von Skipness Castle die damalige Festung von Archibald Campbell, 9. Earl of Argyll, als eine der Unterstützungshandlungen der Monmouth Rebellion in England einnahm. Es gibt nur noch wenige bis heute aufrecht stehende Mauern und die gelten als einsturzgefährdet. Von der Burgruine aus hat man einen guten Blick auf die angrenzenden Wasserwege. Tarbert Castle gilt als Scheduled Monument.

Tarbert Castle

Tarbert Castle is located on the southern shore of East Loch Tarbert, at Tarbert, Argyll, Scotland, at the north end of Kintyre. Tarbert Castle was a strategic royal stronghold during the Middle Ages and one of three castles at Tarbert. The castle overlooks the harbour and although pre 14th century in construction, the tower dates back to 1494 and the visit of James IV to the Western Highlands. History In 712, Tarbert was burned by King Selbach mac Ferchair of Cenél Loairn and of Dál Riata and in 731 by his son, Dúngal mac Selbaig. King Edward I of England handed control of the castle to the Scottish King John II de Balliol in 1292. A fortified structure was built in Tarbert during the 13th century. It was reinforced with the addition of an outer bailey and towers in the 1320s by Robert the Bruce. A tower house was added in the 16th century, which is the most noticeable part of the remains. The castle occupies high land above the village, providing views up Loch Fyne and beyond to the Firth of Clyde. This castle was captured from John MacDonald of Islay, Lord of the Isles by James IV of Scotland as part of his campaign to destroy the power of the Lords of the Isles in 1494. In 1687, the castle was involved in another skirmish when Walter Campbell of Skipness Castle seized it as a stronghold for Archibald Campbell, 9th Earl of Argyll as part of actions in support of the Monmouth Rebellion in England. There are only a couple of standing walls left. The castle has a commanding view of the water approaches. Now owned by the community and part of a volunteer-maintained heritage park.

Château de Tarbert

Le château de Tarbert est situé sur la rive sud de Tarbert Bay, à Tarbert, en Argyll, en Écosse, à l'extrémité nord de Kintyre. Le château de Tarbert est une forteresse royale stratégique au Moyen Âge et un des trois châteaux de Tarbert. Le château permet de surveiller le port et bien qu'il date d'avant le XIVe siècle, les tours datent de 1494 et de la visite de Jacques IV d'Écosse dans les Western Highlands. Histoire En 712, Tarbert « Tairpert Boiter est brûlé par le roi Selbach mac Ferchair du Cenél Loairn et de Dalriada et en 731 par son fils, Dúngal mac Selbaich. Le roi Édouard II d'Angleterre prend le contrôle du château au roi écossais Jean d'Écosse en 1292. Une structure fortifiée est construite à Talbert au XIIIe siècle. Elle est renforcée par l'ajout de tours dans les années 1320 par Robert the Bruce, pour le protéger des seigneurs des Îles. Un donjon est ajouté au XVIe siècle, et constitue aujourd'hui le principal élément restant. Le château occupe les terres au-dessus de Loch Fyne, et a une bonne vue sur East Loch Tarbert et de l'autre côté sur le Firth of Clyde. Ce château est pris à John II MacDonald d'Islay, Seigneur des Îles par Jacques IV d'Écosse au cours de sa campagne visant à détruire le pouvoir des seigneurs des Îles en 1494. En 1687 le château est impliqué dans une autre bataille lorsque Walter Campbell du château de Skipness s'en empare pour en faire une place forte pour Archibald Campbell alors qu'il mène une campagne de soutien de la Rébellion de Monmouth en Angleterre. On trouve aujourd'hui seulement quelques murs encore debout, mais ils sont considérés comme instables. Le château offre une très belle vue sur l'eau environnante.

Castelo Tarbert

O Castelo Tarbert (em inglês: Tarbert Castle) localiza-se na margem sul de East Loch Tarbert, em Tarbert, Argyll, na Escócia, na extremidade norte de Kintyre. Durante a Idade Média, o Castelo Tarbert constituiu um baluarte real estratégico, sendo uma das três fortificações existentes em Tarbert. O castelo domina a vista sobre o porto e, embora a sua construção original seja anterior ao século XIV, a torre remonta a 1494, coincidindo com a visita do Rei Jaime IV às Terras Altas Ocidentais. História No ano de 712, Tarbert foi incendiada pelo Rei Selbach mac Ferchair, de Cenél Loairn e de Dál Riata, e novamente em 731 pelo seu filho, Dúngal mac Selbaig. Em 1292, o Rei Eduardo I de Inglaterra transferiu o controlo do castelo para o monarca escocês João da Escócia. Uma estrutura fortificada foi erguida em Tarbert durante o século XIII, tendo sido posteriormente reforçada na década de 1320 por Roberto I da Escócia, com a adição de uma muralha exterior e torres. No século XVI, foi acrescentada uma casa-torre, que constitui atualmente o elemento mais visível das ruínas. O castelo ocupa um terreno elevado sobranceiro à aldeia, proporcionando vistas panorâmicas sobre o Lago Fyne e, mais além, até ao Estuário de Clyde. Em 1494, esta fortificação foi capturada a João de Islay, 11.º Conde de Ross, pelo Rei Jaime IV da Escócia, no âmbito da sua campanha para desmantelar o poder dos Lordes das Ilhas. Em 1687, o castelo foi palco de nova escaramuça quando Walter Campbell, do Castelo de Skipness, o tomou como baluarte para Archibald Campbell, 9.º Conde de Argyll, integrando as ações de apoio à Rebelião de Monmouth em Inglaterra. Atualmente, restam apenas algumas paredes de pé. O castelo detém uma vista sobre as vias de acesso marítimo. A propriedade pertence agora à comunidade, integrando um parque de património mantido por voluntários.

Rennibister

Das Souterrain von Rennibister auf Mainland ist eine der am besten erhaltenen, von den 41 auf Orkney vorhandenen, auch Earth Houses genannten Strukturen. Die meisten liegen auf Mainland in Schottland, aber auch auf Rousay, Hoy und Eday gibt es welche. Lage Das Souterrain von Rennibister liegt zwischen dem Ort Finstown und der Inselhauptstadt Kirkwall, durch ein Eisengatter geschützt, auf einer Farm am Ufer einer Bucht des O´Firth. Der im 1. Jahrtausend vor der Zeitenwende errichtete Bau wurde 1926 entdeckt. Beschreibung Bei den Souterrains wird grundsätzlich zwischen „rock-cut“, „earth-cut“, „stone built“ und „mixed“ Souterrains unterschieden. Die ovale Trockenmauerwerk-Kammer von 3,7 m Länge und 2,5 m Breite, in der man aufrecht stehen kann, hat fünf Seitenkammern und eine Kragsteindecke, die durch die Auflage auf vier (wandnahe) Säulen in ihrer Spannweite verkürzt wird. Diese Gliederung erinnert an die so genannten "Atlantischen Rundhäuser". Der Einstieg erfolgte über einen 70 mal 70 cm weiten Gang, der ursprünglich von einem hölzernen oberirdischen Rundhaus ausging. Heute liegt der Einstieg, der über eine vertikale Eisenleiter erfolgt, auf der Kammer. Funde Der Gang war mit Abfall verfüllt. Die Kammer enthielt neben Erde und Muscheln die exkarnierten Knochen von sechs Erwachsenen und zwölf Kindern. Weitere bekannte Souterrains auf Orkney sind Grain Earth House, Crantit, Newark und Windwick.
