Eshaness Broch

Der Eshaness Broch am Loch of Houlland liegt auf der Westseite der Halbinsel Esha Ness auf der Shetland-Insel Mainland in Schottland. Der Broch bedeckt eine kleine Erhebung, die neben einer Trittsteinbrücke, die auf eine größere Insel im See führt, in den küstennahen Binnensee „Loch of Houlland“ ragt. Die erheblich gestörte Brochstruktur ist weitgehend unter ihren Trümmern begraben. Der durchschnittliche Durchmesser beträgt etwa 17,1 m und die Wandstärke 4,5 m. Im Norden und Nordosten steht die Mauer bis zu einer Höhe von etwa 3,6 m. Der Zugang liegt im Südwesten. Eine Wächterzelle (englisch guard-cell) voller Trümmer, liegt rechts im Gang und es gibt fragmentarische Hinweise auf eine Galerie im Norden und Osten, aber keine anderen sichtbaren Konstruktionsmerkmale. Über die Landzunge verlaufen in regelmäßigen Abständen drei Abschnittswälle eines Inland-Promontory Forts. Sie sind nicht unbedingt alle zeitgenössisch mit dem Broch. Der innerste ist etwa 0,6 m hoch und nur auf der Außenseite mit Steinen versehen, während die beiden anderen aus großen Steinen bestehen. Der äußere war ursprünglich eine grobe Mauer mit einer Basis aus sehr großen Steinen, in manchen Fällen bis 0,9 m hoch. Ein etwa 1,5 m breiter Zugang verläuft schräg durch die beiden äußeren und über den inneren Wall. Es scheint auch seeseitig eine grobe Mauer um das Vorgebirge gegeben zu haben. Es gibt Spuren von prähistorischen Nebengebäuden vor dem Broch und wieder am Hals der Halbinsel auf der Nordseite. Südlich liegen der Broch Sea Breck und der Burnt Mound am Loch of Breckon.

Dun Bharabhat (Lewis and Harris)

Dun Bharabhat (auch Dun Baravat oder Dun Bharabhat Cnip) ist ein Broch auf der Bhaltos-Halbinsel auf Lewis and Harris, einige Kilometer westlich des gleichnamigen Brochs von Great Bernera. Brochs mit der Bezeichnung Dun (Dun an Sticir, Dun Cuier, Dun Dornaigil, Dùn Mòr, Dun Ringill), die ansonsten für niedrigere Baulichkeiten aus Stein gebraucht wird, sind in Westschottland häufig. Dieser vergleichsweise alte, aber kleine ovale Broch von 10 bis 11 m Durchmesser ist ausgegraben worden und stammt aufgrund der Radiokohlenstoff-Analyse aus der letzten Hälfte des 1. Jahrtausends v. Chr. (Eisenzeit). Er hat drei Galerien und eine Treppe im Mauerring und sein Zugang, der mit einer Türhalterung und Verriegelung versehen ist, liegt auf der etwas mehr als 20 m langen abgewandten Seite des Dammes. Der überraschende Aspekt der Ausgrabung war die Existenz von äußeren Strukturen, die teilweise unterhalb des Wasserspiegels lagen. Diese Bedingungen waren geeignet, organisches Material wie Holz und Pflanzen zu bewahren. Etwa 500 Meter entfernt liegt der Broch im Loch Na Berie und 5,0 km westlich liegt Dun Borranais.

HMS Claverhouse

HMS Claverhouse was a shore establishment of the British Royal Navy, based at Granton, Edinburgh. It is a listed building, used as a training centre for E Squadron, 205 (Scottish) Field Hospital (Volunteers). History Early years The building was originally part of a planned waterside development by the Duke of Buccleuch in the late 1830s and was completed in 1938. The site was important as it fronted onto the new pier. The design is attributed to William Burn by John Gifford, Colin McWilliam and David Walker in Edinburgh, although previous descriptions state that it was designed by John Henderson. It is a 3-storey building with a basement. It is symmetrical and rectangular-plan in the classical tradition. The exterior is coursed, tooled sandstone with ashlar dressings; decorative features include band courses above and below piano nobile, V-jointed angle quoins, eaves cornice and architraved windows. There is a Doric entrance porch on the west side. Cast-iron torchere lamp standards with nautical finials flank the entrance. Service history On the outbreak of World War II in September 1939, the navy took over the Granton Hotel, close to Granton Harbour and commissioned it as HMS Claverhouse for Reserve training. From April 1940 it was in use for Merchant Navy Defence Courses, and also served as the headquarters for the Motor Launches of the local Coastal Forces. Decommissioned on 15 August 1945, Claverhouse then became the Training Centre of the Forth Division. It was also a drill ship until 1958. Current use The principal elevations are largely unaltered and retain a number of early/original fixtures and fittings, including the main entrance and lamp standards. The building, including the lamp standards, has been a category B listed building since 1970. The building is known as the "Claverhouse Training Centre" and is the HQ for E Squadron, 205 (Scottish) Field Hospital (Volunteers), No.17 (Granton) Platoon, Army Cadet Force and the Edinburgh Trinity Sea Cadets.

HM Prison Inverness

HM Prison Inverness, also known as Porterfield Prison (Prìosan Uch a' Phortair), is located in the Crown area of Inverness, Scotland, and serves the courts of the Highlands and Islands. It covers all the courts in the Western Isles as well as courts from Fort William, Wick and Elgin. The prison houses both adult and young remand prisoners, convicted adults serving up to four years, and other prisoners awaiting to go to another prison or needing management support, tending to be serving long sentences up to life imprisonment. The prison in October 2024 was governed by Scott Watson; designed to hold 103 prisoners, the average population was 117. Gangster Jimmy Boyle was a notorious prisoner at Porterfield, severely disruptive and often in the "cages" whose only facility was a concrete block to sleep on. His life was transformed after he was transferred to the "special unit" in Barlinnie Prison, where he was rehabilitated and became a respected artist after his release. Redevelopment plans As of 2016, due to insufficient capacity at HMP Inverness, the Scottish Prison Service announced its intention to build a new prison near Milton of Leys. In June 2016 after significant opposition from local residents the Scottish Prison Service suspended the consultation on the Milton of Leys site to assess an alternative option. In 2021, the Scottish Government confirmed its intention to proceed with a new HM Prison Highland to replace HM Prison Inverness, shortlisting four major construction companies for the contract. As of October 2024 the Scottish Prison Service website listed HMP Inverness as active. References
