Perth bus station

Perth bus station is located on Leonard Street in Perth, Scotland. It is owned by Perth and Kinross Council and is situated approximately 800 metres from the city centre, and 100 metres from Perth railway station. The station is mostly used for out-of-town routes, while routes in and around Perth originate and terminate on Mill Street. History Pomarium Street The middle section of Pomarium Street, which looped off and back onto Leonard Street, was demolished in the 1950s to make way for the bus station and adjacent flats. Pomarium recalls the site of the orchard of Perth Charterhouse which seems to have survived into the 18th century. Part of Pomarium Street still exists today. Ticket office The ticket office, formerly staffed by Scottish Citylink personnel, closed on 28 June 2019. At the time, the company stated this was due to most services now stopping at Broxden Park & Ride rather than the bus station, and that more people are purchasing tickets online. Amenities A McColl's convenience store formerly occupied part of the premises. After surviving the 2019 closures endured by two of the city's four branches, it too closed shortly afterwards. The Bus'Y'Bite café has been part of the premises since the late 1990s. Services The station sees services operated by Stagecoach, Scottish Citylink, and Docherty's Midland Coaches. Some buses, including the X7 Coastrider, do not stop at the bus station and instead terminate at Perth Royal Infirmary. The bus station, which has ten stands, is located on Leonard Street, part of the A989, providing easy outlets to the west via the Glasgow Road (A93), which leads to Broxden Interchange. Future Proposals were first considered in 2004 to redevelop the bus station, relocating it to create a transport interchange with the nearby railway station. In 2017, talks were ongoing between the council, Abellio ScotRail, and Network Rail on redeveloping the bus and railway stations. The following year, letters from the council to local businesses in the area again suggested that the station may close for redevelopment. In 2023, around £50 million of funding was secured to improve Perth's railway station and bus station. See also Public transport in Perth and Kinross References

Viking bus station

Viking Bus Station is a bus station in Lerwick, Shetland, Scotland. The station is used both by passengers and for freight, which is transported by bus. History While the site had been in use as a bus station for some time prior, plans for a new station building were put forward by the council in 1985. Construction work began in March 1990, with the work carried out by Shetland-based construction firm DITT. The bus station opened on 22 May 1991, representing an overall investment of approximately £900,000. A mural was installed at the bus station in 2007 to celebrate the opening of the Shetland Museum. In 2018, it was replaced with a new spray-painted mural. In 2013, Shetland Islands Council proposed closing the waiting room and relocating the freight operations, which it expected would save £80,000 per year. Instead, ownership of the bus station was transferred to the private sector. In 2014, ownership of the station was transferred to a couple who operate a Chinese restaurant on its upper floor. The bus station was mostly operated by John Leask & Son's bus company that was founded in 1919. They had operated the busses from Viking until 2020, when they ceased operation due to the family closing the business. The bus services they operated were then split to be run by four other separate companies. During the COVID-19 pandemic in Scotland, Viking bus station was used as the base for a vaccination shuttle bus. In 2024, Viking bus station started to operate a commercial Sunday service for the first time. See also List of bus stations in Scotland References
Falkirk bus station

Falkirk bus station is a disused bus station situated in Falkirk, Scotland. It is privately owned. History The station was built in the 1930s for W. Alexander & Sons services. In June 2018, First Scotland East, the sole operator at the station, carried out consultations for their proposal to close the station. From 20 August, the firm diverted all its services to call at nearby Newmarket Street instead of the bus station. The closure of the bus station has been criticised due to its alleged impact on elderly and disabled people, and the resulting loss of income for local businesses due to decreased footfall. It has been stated that the loss of dedicated stances for each service has made it more difficult for blind and partially sighted people to find their bus. Services Former services included a link to Forth Valley Royal Hospital at a frequency of up to every 10 minutes. See also List of bus stations in Scotland References
Скай (остров)

Скай (на английски: Skye) е остров, разположен северозападно от Шотландия. Той е най-големият от архипелага Вътрешни Хебриди. Административно е причислен към област Хайланд. Общи сведения На Скай живеят 9232 души (2001) и с това е четвъртият по население остров на Шотландия. 30% от тях говорят шотландски келтски език. Площта на острова е 1 656 km², с дължина север-юг – 80 km и широчина от 11 до 40 km. Скай е разделен от остров Великобритания чрез проливите Саунд ъф Слиийт, Реа и Лох Алш. Заливите така са нарязали острова, че най-отдалечената от морето точка е едва на 8 km от него. Така са разграничени пет големи полуострова: Слийт на юг, Мингиниш на югозапад, Дуириниш на северозапад, Уотърниш на северозапад и Тротерниш на север. Най-високата точка на острова е на 993 m надморска височина. Главни източници на приходи за Скай са туризмът, земеделието, риболовът и производството на уиски.

Isle of Skye

Isle of Skye, eller blot Skye, er den største og nordligste af de større øer i Indre Hebrider i Skotland. Øens halvøer stråler ud fra et bjergrigt centrum domineret af Cuillin, hvis klippeskråninger giver nogle af de mest dramatiske bjerglandskaber i landet. Selvom Sgitheanach er blevet foreslået at beskrive en vingelignende form, er der ingen endelig enighed om navnets oprindelse. Øen har været beboet siden den sene palæolitiske periode, og gennem sin historie har den på forskellige tidspunkter været beboet af keltiske stammer, herunder pikterne og gæliske folk, skandinaviske vikinger og især de magtfulde integrerede nordisk-gæliske klaner MacLeod og MacDonald. Øen blev anset for at være under norsk suzerænitet indtil Perth-traktaten i 1266, som overførte kontrollen til Skotland. De jakobitiske oprør i 1700-tallet førte til opløsningen af klansystemet og senere rydninger, som erstattede hele samfund med fårefarme, hvoraf nogle indebar tvungne udvandringer til fjerne egne. Befolkningstallet faldt fra over 20.000 i begyndelsen af 1800-tallet til lige under 9.000 ved slutningen af 1900-tallet. Skyes befolkning steg med 4 % mellem 1991 og 2001. I dag har øen omkring 10.500 indbyggere. Omkring en tredjedel af indbyggerne var gælisk-talende i 2001, og selvom antallet er faldende, forbliver dette aspekt af øens kultur vigtigt. De vigtigste erhverv er turisme, landbrug, fiskeri og skovbrug. Skye er en del af Highland Councils lokale forvaltningsområde og ligger helt inden for det historiske grevskab Inverness-shire. Øens største by er Portree, som også er dens hovedby med omkring 2.300 indbyggere, kendt for sin maleriske havn. Der er færgeforbindelser til forskellige nærliggende øer og siden 1995 forbindelse til fastlandet via Skye Bridge. Klimaet er mildt, vådt og blæsende. Det rige dyreliv omfatter kongeørn, kronhjort og laks. Den lokale flora domineres af lyng-hede, og nationalt vigtige hvirvelløse populationer lever på havbunden omkring øen. Skye har dannet ramme om flere romaner og spillefilm og er fejret i poesi og sang. Whiskydestilleriet Talisker har ligget på Isle of Skye siden 1830. I 2017 åbnede destilleriet Torabhaig i Teangue. På øen ligger Skye Museum of Island Life. Øen rummer en række borge, borgruiner og herregårde, der tæller Armadale Castle, Caisteal Maol, Dun Ringill, Dunscaith Castle, Duntulm Castle, Dunvegan Castleog Knock Castle På den ubeboede halvø Rubha an Dùnain findes en kanal, angiveligt anlagt i vikingetiden, der giver en lille sø adgang til havet, og har været en god havn. Anlægget har ingen lige i Skotland. Noter Referencer Eksterne henvisninger The Skye Guide Arkiveret 15. juni 2012 hos Wayback Machine Isle of Skye Walks
Skye

Skye (angolul Isle of Skye, skót gaelül An t-Eilean Sgitheanach) a Hebridák szigetcsoport egyik szigete, a Belső-Hebridák legnagyobb, egyúttal legészakibb tagja Skócia északnyugati partjainál. A Brit-szigettől a délkeleti oldalán húzódó, északi szakaszán alig pár kilométer széles tengerszoros, a Sound of Sleat és egy afelett átfutó közúti híd választja el. Az 1656 km²-es sziget középső részét a Cuillin-középhegység uralja, legmagasabb pontja a Sgurr Alasdair (992 méter). Ennek vonulatait követve nyúlik a Hebrida-tengerbe a sziget hat, nyúlványszerű félszigete (Trotternish, Waternish, Duirinish, Minginish, Strathaird, Sleat). A középső kőkor óta lakott terület, története során állt viking fennhatóság alatt, majd a MacLeod és a MacDonald klánok birtokolták. Népessége napjainkban 9200 fő, legnagyobb települése a keleti partvidéken elhelyezkedő Portree (2491 fő, 2001). A lakosság egyharmadának anyanyelve gael. Jelentős részük mezőgazdaságból, halászatból és whiskylepárlásból él, de fontos bevételi forrás a turizmus is a kirándulók és természetjárók által kedvelt, festői Skye szigetén.

Ilha de Skye

A Ilha de Skye, habitualmente conhecida simplesmente pelo nome de Skye, é a maior e a mais setentrional das ilhas do arquipélago das Hébridas, na Escócia. Seu nome vem do norueguês antigo Skið = "ski", uma alteração da palavra picta original que, nas fontes romanas, era mencionada como Scitis (Cosmografia de Ravenna) e Scetis (no mapa de Ptolomeu). Certas lendas associam a ilha à figura lendária de Scáthach. Geografia Com seus 1700 km², Skye é a segunda maior ilha da Escócia, depois de Lewis e Harris, que formam na verdade uma só ilha. Ela possui um dos relevos mais escarpados da Escócia, com o Cuillin, bem como um rico patrimônio de castelos e monumentos antigos. A parte sul da ilha é constituída de uma série de penínsulas, englobando Sleat, Strathaird, Minginish e Duirinish, assim como Waternish e Trotternish ao noroeste. Skye é circundada por outras pequenas ilhas, entre as quais Raasay, Scalpay e Soay. A influência do Oceano Atlântico e a corrente do Golfo criar um clima oceânico ameno. As temperaturas são geralmente legais, com média de 6,5 ° C em Janeiro e 15,4 ° C em julho em Duntulm em Trotternish. Neve, raramente encontra-se ao nível do mar e as geadas são menos frequentes do que no continente. Os ventos são um fator limitante para a vegetação. Sul-ventos do oeste são as mais comuns e registaram-se velocidades de 128 km/h (80 mph). Ventos fortes são especialmente prováveis nas costas expostas de Trotternish e Waternish. Em comum com a maioria das ilhas da costa oeste da Escócia, a precipitação é geralmente alta em 1.500-2.000 mm por ano e o Cuillin elevado são mais molhado ainda. Variações podem ser consideráveis, com o norte tende a ser mais seco que do Sul. Broadford, por exemplo, em média mais de 2.870 milímetros (113 in) de chuva por ano. Trotternish normalmente tem 200 horas de sol forte em maio, o mês mais ensolarado. Em 28 de dezembro de 2015, a temperatura chegou a 15 ° C, batendo o anterior recorde de dezembro de 12,9 ° C, definido em 2013. Em 9 de maio de 2016, uma temperatura de 26,7 ° C. foi gravado no Lusa no sudeste do islan Características A ilha caracteriza-se por uma paisagem agreste, com muito pouca vegetação comparativamente à Escócia continental. A população da ilha não é muito numerosa, vivendo pela maior parte da criação de gado. História Skye possui sítios mostrando traços de caçadores desde o Mesolítico, como o de An Corran. A ilha sofreu da fome e do seu isolamento até o final do século XVIII, levando a uma população reduzida a menos de 10 000 habitantes no censo de 1991. Em 2001, a população residente era de 8 748 habitantes. Acesso A ilha está ligada ao resto do país pela ponte de Skye, bem como pelas linhas de ferries a partir de Armadale até Mallaig, e de Kylerhea a Glenelg.

Isle of Skye

Isle of Skye eller Skye är den största och nordligaste ön i Inre Hebriderna. Den ligger i kommunen Highland och riksdelen Skottland, i den nordvästra delen av landet, 700 km nordväst om huvudstaden London. Arean är 1 656 kvadratkilometer. Ön har 10 008 invånare (2011). Skye är sedan 1995 förbundet med det skotska fastlandet med en 500 meter lång bro, Skye Bridge. På ön ligger whiskydestilleriet Talisker. Namnet Skye kommer troligen från fornnordiska skyey, ’molnön’, ett namn som ön ska ha fått av vikingar till följd av att den så ofta är täckt av dimma. Sky nämns bland annat i Heimskringla (i Magnus Barfots saga) samt i filmen Prometheus (film) av Ridley Scott från 2012. Mot fyren utspelar sig på ön. Internationellt är ön troligtvis mest känd från sången Donald Where's Your Troosers med inledningsorden "I just went down from the Isle of Skye". Terrängen på Skye är lite kuperad. Öns högsta punkt är 953 meter över havet. Den sträcker sig 76,9 kilometer i nord-sydlig riktning, och 68,7 kilometer i öst-västlig riktning.

Grangemouth Town Hall

Grangemouth Town Hall is a municipal structure in Bo'ness Road, Grangemouth, Scotland. The structure was the meeting place of Grangemouth Burgh Council until 1937 and remains the main events venue in the area. History After Grangemouth became a police burgh in 1872, the burgh commissioners decided to procure a new civic building for the town: the site they chose for the town hall was open land which they acquired from the Caledonian Railway Company. A design competition was arranged and won by William Black whose design for a town hall in Newmarket Street in Falkirk had already been successfully executed. The Grangemouth building was designed in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar stone and was completed in 1885. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with five bays facing onto Bo'ness Road; the central bay, which was recessed, featured a flight of steps leading up to a doorway which was flanked by Ionic order columns supporting a entablature and a balustrade, behind which, on the first floor, there was a balcony and a French door. The side sections, which were enhanced by pairs of Ionic order pilasters on the first floor, were fenestrated by casement windows with brackets supporting canopies and, at roof level, there was a cornice and a balustrade. Internally, the principal room was the main assembly hall. Black was also responsible for the design of the public library on the opposite side of the road which was financed by the Scottish-American industrialist and philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie: Carnegie travelled to the town hall from Glasgow to conduct the opening ceremony of the library personally on 31 January 1889. After the area was advanced to the status of small burgh in 1930, the council and their officers sought dedicated premises, and relocated to new municipal buildings on the opposite side of the road in 1937. The town hall continued to be used as an events venue and performers included the rock band, The Beatles, in 1960, the rock band, Them, led by Van Morrison, in 1964 and the new wave band, Ultravox, in 1978. In 2011, the council started to look for a developer to support the regeneration of the complex. References
