Castello di Loudoun

Il castello di Loudoun (in inglese Loudoun Castle) è uno storico edificio in rovina della cittadina di Galston, nell'area scozzese di Loudoun (Ayrshire Orientale), eretto nel XV secolo e rimodellato nel XVII secolo e tra il 1804 e il 1811. Soprannominato "Windsor di Scozia", è classificato come castello di categoria A. Storia Nel XIV secolo il territorio di Loudoun era di proprietà della famiglia Crawford, che nel corso del XV secolo fecero realizzare una fortezza a quattro piani e dotata di mura dello spessore di 1,8 metri. Successivamente, nel 1641, la proprietà passò nelle mani della famiglia Campbell in seguito a un matrimonio. Nel 1650, nel corso della guerra civile inglese, il castello venne attaccato dalle truppe parlamentariane guidate dal generale Monck, subendo ingenti danni durante l'assedio. L'edificio assunse la sua forma definitiva tra il 1804 e il 1811, quando venne completamento rimodellato e e trasformato in una residenza baronale in stile gotico per Flora Mure Campbell, contessa di Loudoun. Il progetto venne affidato all'architetto Archibald Elliott, al quale collaborarono James e Robert Adam. La residenza comprendeva novanta stanze ed era fornita da una biblioteca che ospitava circa 10.000 volumi. Utilizzato come base militare dalle truppe belghe nel corso della seconda guerra mondiale, l'edificio venne accidentalmente investito nel 1941 da un incendio che provocò gravissimi danni alla parte interna della struttura. Una cinquantina di anni dopo, nel 1995, venne aperto attorno alle rovine del castello un parco di divertimenti omonimo, poi chiuso definitivamente nel 2010, anche a seguito di un grave incidente avvenuto tre anni prima che aveva causato la morte di un addetto. Architettura Il castello di Loudoun è situato al centro di un parco di circa 400 acr, che si trova a circa 1,25 a nord di Galston e si affaccia sul fiume Irvine. Leggende Secondo una leggenda, il castello sarebbe abitato da un fantasma noto come "Dama Grigia", che però non sarebbe più riapparsa dopo l'incendio del 1941.

Loch Sealbhanach

Loch Sealbhanach (auch: Loch Sealbhag) ist ein Süßwassersee in den schottischen Highlands. Er liegt im Glen Cannich, östlich von Loch Mullardoch und Loch a' Bhàna. Loch Sealbhanach wurde zum ersten Mal im Jahr 1910 vermessen und ist etwa 1,1 km lang und an der breitesten Stelle 400 m breit. Galerie Weblinks Einzelnachweise
Loch Sealbhanach

Loch Sealbhanach is a freshwater loch in Glen Cannich, Scotland. Sir John Murray recorded the loch as "Loch Sealbhag" in his 1903 survey. This derives from the Scottish Gaelic sealbhag, meaning "sorrel" i.e. "Loch of the Sorrel". The change in name was likely due to a nearby farm named Sealbhanach (recorded by Murray as the Anglicised Shalavanach), meaning "herding-place" i.e. "Loch of the Herding Place". The change appears to have taken place on maps in the 1900s. Mullardoch Cottage and Mullardoch House, part of Benula Sporting Estate, sit on the loch's western shore. References
FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility

The FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility, or FloWave Test Tank is a basin designed to test physical scale models of marine renewable energy devices, in a combined wave and current environment. The facility is located at The University of Edinburgh, King's Buildings campus, on Max Born Crescent. It was opened in June 2014. The facility comprises a 25-metre (82 ft) diameter circular tank, with 168 active-absorbing wave makers around the circumference, and 28 pumps arranged beneath the raisable floor. These allow the creation of multi-directional random waves with current in any direction across the 15-metre (49 ft) diameter, 2-metre (6.6 ft) deep test area. The facility is optimised for approximately 1/10th to 1/40th scale model tests, with scale waves approximately 14-metre (46 ft) high and with a current of 7 knots. It is possible to recreate conditions in the coastal waters around the UK and at potential wave and tidal energy sites around the world. Construction of the facility started late in 2010, and was completed in autumn 2013. The opening was on 5 June 2014, with the Energy Minister Amber Rudd officially opening the facility on 6 August 2014. The building was designed by Bennetts Associates architects, with structural and M&E support from Arup. In addition to the test tank, the facility includes a workshop, office and meeting space. The £10M construction cost of the facility was primarily funded by Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). The facility was originally run by FloWave TT Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the university. In 2017, the facility was integrated within the university's School of Engineering. While the facility is not generally open to the public, the university and FloWave participate in Doors Open Days. Key clients and tests Over the first ten years of operation, over 50 different renewable energy technologies were tested at the facility; this included floating wind turbines, tidal turbines including Orbital Marine Power, plus many wave energy devices. Some of the first developers to publicise that they have completed testing at FloWave, included Albatern with their WaveNET device, and QED Naval with their SubHub tidal platform. In 2016, five of eight projects from the Wave Energy Scotland Novel Wave Energy Converter Call were tested at FloWave, with the others being tested in the towing tank at University of Strathclyde. These were Albatern's WaveNET Series 12, the AWS Ocean Energy Advanced Archimedes Waveswing, Mocean Energy, Joules Energy, and Quoceant with their Ectacti-hull. In February 2019, The Slow Mo Guys released a film on their YouTube channel of the tank making a "spike" wave. This was shot on a Phantom high-speed camera at 1,000 frames per second. In 2022, researchers from the University of Oxford published a paper describing the behaviour of axisymmetric "spike waves" as they break, based on tests at FloWave.

St Bride's Church, Onich

St Bride's Church is an Episcopal parish church in North Ballachulish in the Scottish Highlands. The church was built in 1874 and is notable for the Arts and Crafts movement inspired features of the church interior, including distinctive stained-glass windows, decorative floor tiles and a painted vestry screen. History St Bride's Church was built in 1874 and was designed by architect John Garden Brown. Brown, who died at the age of 27, designed two churches before his death in 1880; his other church is Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Wigtown. There is a surviving window from the church when it was built, a stained-glass window by Clayton & Bell, 1875. A two-light depiction of the Annunciation by Shrigley and Hunt was added to the church in 1896. The church organ was originally installed on the chancel's north side. In 1898, the organ was moved to an organ loft at the west end of the church. Description Church The church is located in North Ballachulish in the Highland region. The interior of the church contains several notable Arts and Crafts movement details: stained glass encaustic floor tiles a painted vestry screen and cusped panelling. The south window is a Pre-Raphaelite design of the Annunciation by Shrigley and Hunt. On the north wall is the Bishop Chinnery-Haldane (1840-1906) memorial windows depicting St Patrick, St Columba and St Bride. The east window shows "Our Lord coming again in Glory, surrounded by his holy angels. St Bride and St Columba stand below". Burial ground Near the church porch is a large, decorative stone cross commemorating Bishop Alexander Chinnery-Haldane (1842-1906), St Bride's first minister, and his wife Anna Elizabeth (1844-1907). Several small stone cross grave markers are scattered throughout the burial ground along with several wrought iron crosses. Iron cross burial monuments were popular during the late 19th century in England. Also buried here is Rev. David Railton (1884-1955), who originated the idea of the Unknown Warrior tomb in 1916 while serving as an army chaplain during World War I.

Loch of Forfar

Der Loch of Forfar, auch Forfar Loch, ist ein Süßwassersee in der schottischen Council Area Angus. Beschreibung Der Loch of Forfar liegt am Westrand der Kleinstadt Forfar auf einer Höhe von 57 Metern. Er liegt im Westen der Council Area Angus, welcher der historischen Grafschaft Forfarshire entspricht. Der sich in Ost-West-Richtung erstreckende, längliche See weist eine Länge von 1,6 Kilometern bei einer Breite von höchstens 370 Metern auf, woraus sich ein Umfang von vier Kilometern und eine Fläche von 38 Hektar ergeben. Hierbei weist der See eine maximale Tiefe von 8,8 Metern sowie eine mittlere Tiefe von 3,5 Metern auf. Sein Volumen beträgt 1.313.199 Kubikmeter. Es speist sich aus einem Einzugsgebiet mit einer Fläche von 12,63 Quadratkilometern. Einziger Abfluss ist das am Westende abfließende Dean Water, das über Isla und Tay schließlich in die Nordsee entwässert. Am Ostufer des Loch of Forfar befindet sich der Forfar Loch Country Park, ein Park mit Freizeitanlagen. Die von Edinburgh nach Fraserburgh führende A90 quert das Dean Water vor dem Westufer. Geschichte Der Loch of Forfar nahm einst eine größere Fläche ein. Im Laufe des 18. Jahrhunderts wurde er teilweise entwässert. 1953 kaufte die Stadt Forfar den See. An seinem Nordufer ragt die Landzunge St Margaret’s Inch in den Loch of Forfar. Vor der Drainage handelte es sich um eine Insel, genauer einen prähistorischen Crannóg. Später wurde dort eine Dreifaltigkeitskapelle erbaut. Unterschiedlichen Quellen zufolge handelt es sich hierbei entweder um eine Gründung Margareta von Schottlands aus dem 11. Jahrhundert oder um eine Neugründung von Mönchen der Coupar Angus Abbey im 13. Jahrhundert. Das Areal ist heute als Scheduled Monument denkmalgeschützt. Daneben befindet sich ein Segelclub.

Loch of Forfar

Loch of Forfar is a freshwater loch lying on the western side of the town of Forfar, Scotland. The loch trends in an east to west direction and is approximately 1 mi (1.6 km) in length. The loch and area around it form Forfar Loch Country Park. On the northern side of the loch there is a natural gravel projection which is named Queen Margaret's Inch or Saint Margaret's Inch. The projection was named after Queen Margaret, the 11th century Queen of Scots. Several historical structures have been located on the Inch including a crannog and a chapel. History A crannog named Queen Margaret's Inch once stood on the loch. It was exposed when the loch was drained in 1781. Several items were then retrieved including silver earrings, bone chess pieces and bronze objects. It is thought that around 1243 a cell of monks from Coupar Angus Abbey inhabited the Inch and that The Chapel of the Holy Trinity and several houses were built. Recreation and leisure The loch is a local centre for recreation and leisure activities including walking, sailing, canoeing, orienteering and fishing. The Forfar Loch Country Park Ranger Service provide a range of environmental activities and talks. The Forfar Sailing Club has its facilities on the Inch. There are several paths and trails in and around the loch all of which are marked and fully wheelchair accessible. Survey The loch was surveyed on 26 June 1903 by Sir John Murray and later charted as part of Murray's Bathymetrical Survey of Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland 1897-1909.

Loch na Creige Duibhe (Lochaber)

Loch na Creige Duibhe is a small freshwater loch in South Morar, Lochaber, in the West Highlands of Scotland. It is orientated east to west and drains into Loch Màma to the west. It is thought that Loch Màma and Loch na Creige Duibhe were at one time a single loch. Debris brought down by the Allt Dearg stream has likely caused the lochs to be separated into two bodies of water. The loch was surveyed on 11 July 1902 by James Parsons and T.R.H. Garrett and later charted as part of Sir John Murray and Laurence Pullar's Bathymetrical Survey of Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland 1897-1909. References See also List of lochs in Scotland

Loch Davan

Loch Davan, auch Loch Daven, ist ein Süßwassersee im Süden der schottischen Council Area Aberdeenshire. Er liegt am Ostrand der Cairngorms in der Region Royal Deeside rund einen Kilometer südwestlich von Ordie und 1,5 Kilometer nordwestlich von Dinnet. Loch Davan liegt im Naturschutzgebiet Muir of Dinnet, das Teil der gleichnamigen Site of Special Scientific Interest ist. Beschreibung Der See liegt auf einer Höhe von 167 Metern über dem Meeresspiegel. Der Loch Davan weist eine maximale Länge von 0,81 Kilometern bei einer maximalen Breite von 0,80 Kilometern auf, woraus sich eine Fläche von 42 Hektar und ein Umfang von drei Kilometern ergeben. Der See besitzt ein Volumen von 505.904 Kilolitern. Sein Einzugsgebiet umfasst 3383 Hektar und erstreckt sich im Wesentlichen nordwestlich des Sees zum 871 Meter hohen Morven hin und umfasst Logie Coldstone. Es besteht zu über 35 % aus Heide und zu weiteren 24 % aus Waldland. Beim Loch Davan handelt es sich um einen Toteissee, was sich auch in seiner geringen durchschnittlichen Tiefe von 1,2 Metern bei einer maximalen Tiefe von 2,7 Metern widerspiegelt. Einziger nennenswerter Zufluss ist der am Nordostufer einmündende Logie Burn. Vom Südostufer fließt der Monandavan Burn, Oberlauf des Dinnet Burns, ab, der über den Dee in die Nordsee entwässert. Rund 700 Meter südlich befindet sich der abflusslose Loch Kinord. Geschichte Am Ostufer befindet sich ein als Bodendenkmal geschütztes Areal. Es umfasst Erdwerke und einen Wehrgraben. Zwischen Loch Davan und Loch Kinord liegt die Wüstung Kinord, die ebenfalls als Scheduled Monument geschützt ist. Der Seename leitet sich möglicherweise von einer aufgelassenen Ufersiedlung namens Devana ab. Die Karte der Ordnance Survey verzeichnet nahe des Nordufers ein Gehöft des Namens Davan. Im Westteil des Loch Davan befindet sich eine kleine verlandete Insel, bei der es sich um einen Crannóg handeln könnte. Nach derzeitigem Kenntnisstand wird jedoch von einer natürlichen Insel ausgegangen. Ein weiterer Crannóg könnte heute in einem Meter unter dem Seespiegel liegen. Obschon keine harten Beweise für die Existenz eines Crannógs gefunden wurden, ist diese aufgrund eines kreisförmigen Bewuchses am Ort nicht auszuschließen. Einzelnachweise Weblinks
Loch Davan

Loch Davan is a small, triangular, freshwater loch approximately 5 mi (8.0 km) northeast of Ballater, Scotland and lying immediately north of Loch Kinord. It is approximately 0.75 mi (1.21 km) in length and was formed from a glacial kettle hole. The loch sits within the Muir of Dinnet National Nature Reserve. Flora and fauna Due to its shallowness, light penetrates to the loch floor. Consequently, many species of aquatic plants exist including water lobelia, quillwort and shoreweed. Around the perimeter reeds, sedges, horsetails, bulrushes and willow scrub are found. The loch is also home to pike, otters, migrating geese and other wildfowl. Archaeology The remains of a medieval moated homestead, known as The Heugh are visible on the northern shore of the loch. The Heugh is thought to have been the Hall of Logy Rothwayne, the headquarters of Dave Loc during the Battle of Culblean in 1335. Survey The loch was surveyed on 10 July 1905 by T.N. Johnston and L.W. Collett and later charted as part of the Sir John Murray's Bathymetrical Survey of Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland 1897-1909. References
Loch Ardinning

Loch Ardinning (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Àird Dùnain) is a body of freshwater in the district of Stirling in Scotland, lying to the south of the village of Strathblane near the western end of the Campsies. The loch was increased in size by the construction of a dam in 1796; the level was further raised in 1840, and partially rebuilt in 1991. As its current extent, it covers 10 hectares. Loch Ardinning Reserve The loch forms part of the Loch Ardinning Reserve, which is owned and managed by the Scottish Wildlife Trust. The reserve was established in 1988, and covers 148 hectares. It is classified as a Category IV protected area by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The reserve covers the woodland surrounding the loch, and Muirhouse Muir. The carr woodland surrounding the loch provides a habitat for many species of plants that have become increasingly rare elsewhere in Scotland due to wetland drainage; of particular note is the presence of four species of orchid. Muirhouse Muir is the largest area of muir in the surrounding area, and provides a habitat for bird species such as curlew, snipe, red grouse, linnet, whinchat, stonechat, skylark, and grasshopper warbler.

Loch Màma

Loch Màma is a small freshwater loch in South Morar, Lochaber, in the north west of Scotland. It forms a simple basin and is orientated east to west. It is thought that the adjoining loch Loch na Creige Duibhe and Loch Màma were at one time a single loch. Debris brought down by the Allt Dearg stream has likely caused the lochs to be separated into two bodies of water. The loch is the source of the river Allt a' Mhama. The loch was surveyed on 11 July 1902 by James Parsons and T.R.H.
