Hamilton Old Parish Church

Die Hamilton Old Parish Church ist ein Kirchengebäude der presbyterianischen Church of Scotland in der schottischen Stadt Hamilton in der Council Area South Lanarkshire. 1971 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Geschichte Bereits im Laufe des 13. Jahrhunderts stiftete der schottische König David I. eine Kirche am Standort. Im Jahre 1450 ließ James Hamilton, 1. Lord Hamilton dort mit päpstlichem Einverständnis ein Kollegiatstift erbauen. Die 1462 fertiggestellte Kirche befand sich nahe dem heutigen Hamilton Mausoleum. Um Flächen im Park des Hamilton Palace freizusetzen, ließ James Douglas-Hamilton, 5. Duke of Hamilton die Kirche 1732 abbrechen, die bis zu dieser Zeit genutzt wurde. Im selben Jahr begann der Bau der heutigen Hamilton Old Parish Church nach einem Entwurf des schottischen Ingenieurs William Adam. Die erste Messe wurde gegen Ende des Jahres 1734 gelesen. Die kleine Kuppel wurde 1841 hinzugefügt und gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts eine Orgel ergänzt. Modernisierungsmaßnahmen wurden 1925 und in den 1990er Jahren durchgeführt. Beschreibung Die Hamilton Old Parish Church steht in der parkähnlichen Senke des Cadzow Burn im Norden von Hamilton. Die Cadzow Bridge verläuft ein kurzes Stück nordwestlich. Es handelt sich um die einzige Kirche, die William Adam entwarf. Sie ist im zeitgenössischen Georgianischen Stil ausgestaltet. Da Adam am Dachstuhl Planken eines Kriegsschiffes wiederverwendete, finden sich dort Bleigeschosse. Von Anita Pate gestaltete Bleiglasfenster zeigen die bis in das 6. Jahrhundert zurückreichende Kirchengeschichte. Zum Gedenken an James Stevenson-Hamilton, den Gründer des Kruger-Nationalparks, zeigen einige Fenster afrikanische Wildtiere.

Hamilton Old Parish Church

Hamilton Old Parish Church is a Church of Scotland parish church serving part of the Burgh of Hamilton in South Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is notable for its Georgian architecture and the church and grounds are Category A listed. History The church was built between 1729 and 1732. It replaced the parish's 15th-century Collegiate Church, which was located at another site, close to the mausoleum in Strathclyde Park. The church is an unusual, largely circular design. The church was built to a design by William Adam. It is said to be the only church building to have been designed by him. The interior was recast in 1926. The church contains a memorial to four covenantors executed in Edinburgh in 1666. The church contains a stained glass window by Ballantine and Gardiner, representing Jesus, Martha and Mary that was fitted in 1876 in memory of Mrs James Stevenson. Churchyard The churchyard contains the Netherton Cross, an historic stone cross that dates to the 10th or 11th century. The cross is of red sandstone and is cited as a rare example of ecclesiastical sculpture from the former British early medieval Kingdom of Strathclyde. The cross was found in the grounds of Hamilton Palace and moved to the churchyard in 1926. The cross is reported to be under threat due to years of weathering. The churchyard also contains several Covenanters memorials. Several of the graves are stated to be burials from the Battle of Bothwell Bridge. The entrance to the churchyard from Cadzow street is marked by coped sandstone walls and entrance gatepiers. The grounds of the churchyard cemetery are open to visitors but burials no longer take place. Ministers The current minister is the Reverend Ross Blackman BSc MBA BD(Honours), who was ordained and inducted on 19 November 2015. Mr Blackman studied at Highland Theological College and University of Glasgow. The previous ministers include: Rev John Thomson (2001–2014), and Rev Dr Hugh Wyllie, who was Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1992. Dr Wyllie is one of three ministers of Hamilton Old to have served as Moderator of the General Assembly since the end of the Second World War, the others being Matthew Stewart in 1947 and John Fraser in 1958. Until 1960 this was a collegiate charge with two ministers. After this date John McKechnie, who had been minister of the second charge, became minister of the united charge. There were also two buildings - the Old Church and Auchingramont Church. Auchingramont Church was closed during the ministry of Douglas Macnaughton, who succeeded John McKechnie.

Happy Valley (garden)

Happy Valley is a garden created by Edwin Harrold in Stenness, Orkney, Scotland. History The site, which includes a house, was originally known as "Bankburn". Bankburn was built in the late 19th century for the Laird of Bigswell, William Isbister and his wife Jane Bewes. The Bigswell properties were one of only three properties in Orkney that have a lineage that can be traced directly back to the 15th century (J. Storer Clouston). They are now divided as a result of crofting reform and forced sales but Bankburn was not formally designated a croft and the landlords were not forced to sell. The properties were clearly of more historical importance than monetary value and Bankburn now represents all that is left of the Bigswell estate that is not in private hands. The garden was created from a bare hillside by Edwin Harrold, between October 1948 and the 1990s. Edwin Harald lived in Bankburn, rent free, without the knowledge of either the owners or the Crofting Commission. This was clearly illegal but is not a very fashionable part of the story. During Edwin's time in Bankburn he planted and wired the property and it became known as Happy Valley. Harrold had to give up the garden, as he was too old to maintain it, and he died in 2005. Amongst his aims, was to create a wooded area on Orkney, as trees are highly unusual on the archipelago. In 2004, the local council, Orkney Islands Council, took ownership of the site from the owner, Professor William H. Isbister. A group was formed in 2007 called "Friends of Happy Valley"; they are a group of volunteers who meet together not only to discuss the future of the gardens, but also to work on maintaining the garden. The Council Special Projects Department assisted by maintaining some of the paths and steps, and in April 2008 volunteers planted 700 new trees to add to the existing woodland. It is designated a local nature reserve. Footnotes External links Gates of Happy Valley
Falklandský palác

Falkland Palace se nachází ve Skotsku v kraji Fife. Je to bývalý palác skotských králů. V současnosti spadá pod správu skotské charitativní organizace The National Trust for Scotland a slouží jako turistická atrakce. Skotská koruna získala hrad Falkland od klanu MacDuffových z Fife ve 14. století. Roku 1402 Robert Stewart, 1. vévoda z Albany, uvěznil na hradě Falkland svého synovce Davida Stewarta, vévodu z Rothesay, nejstaršího syna skotského krále Roberta III. Uvězněný vévoda tu nakonec zemřel hlady. Mezi lety 1501 a 1541 králové Jakub IV. a Jakub V. přestavěli starý hrad na krásný královský palác, jeden z nejkrásnějších renesančních paláců v Británii. Jakub V. na hradě v prosinci 1542 zemřel krátce poté, co mu jeho žena Marie de Guise porodila dceru Marii Stuartovnu. Falkland se stal vyhledávaným útočištěm všech panovníků z dynastie Stuartovců. Věnovali se zde sokolnictví a využívali okolní rozlehlé lesy pro lov vysoké zvěře a kanců. V sousedství se nachází hrad Myres Castle, který byl odvěkým domovem královských soudních dozorců, kteří sloužili na hradě Falkland přinejmenším od 16. století. Po spojení skotského a anglického království navštívili Falkland panovníci Jakub VI., Karel I. a Karel II. Armáda Olivera Cromwella hrad vypálila a Falkland se rychle změnil v ruinu. Roku 1887 hrad zakoupil John Crichton-Stewart, 3. markýz z Bute, a začal ho renovovat. Falkland dodnes patří rodině Crichton-Stewartů. V současnosti je hrad ve správě charitativní organizace, která se o něj stará a udržuje ho i s rozsáhlými zahradami. V zahradách Falklandského paláce se nachází tenisový kurt z roku 1539, nejstarší dodnes používaný dvorec na světě.

Palais de Falkland

Le palais de Falkland est un ancien palais des rois d'Écosse situé à Falkland dans la région du Fife. Il est aujourd'hui géré par le National Trust for Scotland, et constitue une attraction touristique. Histoire Ce bâtiment aurait été construit avec des pierres de carrières situées à proximité de Kingoodie. Précédemment bien du clan MacDuff de Fife, la Couronne écossaise acquit ce château au XIVe siècle. En 1402, Robert Stuart, duc d'Albany, y fit emprisonner son neveu, David Stuart, duc de Rothesay, fils aîné de Robert III d'Écosse. Le jeune duc incarcéré finit par y mourir de faim et de manque de soins à 23 ans. Entre 1501 et 1541, les rois Jacques IV et Jacques V d'Écosse transformèrent le vieux château en un magnifique palais royal, un des plus beaux palais Renaissance de Grande-Bretagne. Jacques V, déjà malade, y mourut le 14 décembre 1542, après avoir appris que sa femme venait de donner naissance à une fille, Marie Ire d'Écosse, la semaine précédente. Tous les monarques Stuart apprécièrent cette résidence, où ils pratiquaient la fauconnerie et utilisaient les vastes forêts environnantes pour chasser le cerf et le sanglier. Le château de Myres proche est la demeure héréditaire des massiers et huissiers d'armes royaux, qui servaient à Falkland depuis au moins le XVIe siècle. Après l'Union des couronnes, Jacques Ier d'Angleterre, Charles Ier et Charles II séjournèrent tous à Falkland. L'armée d'invasion de Cromwell mit le feu au palais, qui tomba rapidement en ruine. Après l'avoir acquis en 1887, John Crichton-Stuart (3e marquis de Bute), commença la restauration du palais. Les Crichton-Stuart devinrent les conservateurs héréditaires de Falkland. Mais, en 1952, le 5e marquis de Bute prit la décision de désigner le National Trust for Scotland conservateur adjoint du château, la famille Crichton-Stuart en demeurant toujours le propriétaire. Actuellement le National Trust for Scotland est chargé de la protection et de l'entretien du château et de ses vastes jardins, le propriétaire étant le 7e marquis de Bute. En 1972 il est classé en catégorie A. Description La chapelle royale se trouve dans l'aile sud en terrasse, alors que la chambre du roi et la salle de la reine sont dans la partie est. Les visiteurs peuvent aussi voir les appartements du gardien dans le corps de garde. Dans les jardins, se trouve toujours le jeu de paume d'origine, construit en 1539, avant celui d'Henri VIII à Hampton Court. C'est le plus vieux court de tennis encore en usage, et il est le siège du Falkland Palace Royal Tennis Club.

Falkland Palace

Falkland Palace è un antico palazzo reale dei re scozzesi, situato a Falkland, nel Fife. È gestito dal National Trust for Scotland e aperto al pubblico. Storia La Corona scozzese acquistò il Castello di Falkland dai MacDuff di Fife nel XIV secolo. Nel 1402 il duca Robert Stewart vi imprigionò suo nipote David Stewart, Duca di Rothesay, figlio maggiore del re Roberto III di Scozia, che morì di fame e trascuratezza. Tra 1501 e 1541 i re Giacomo IV e Giacomo V trasformarono il vecchio castello in un lussuoso palazzo reale, uno dei migliori esempi di architettura rinascimentale in Scozia. Giacomo V, già ammalato, morì a Falkland nel dicembre del 1542 dopo la notizia che sua moglie aveva dato alla luce una figlia - Maria, Regina di Scozia. Falkland divenne un luogo di riposo molto usato dai monarchi Stuart, che vi praticavano la falconeria e la caccia a cervi e cinghiali nelle foreste circostanti. Il vicino Myres Castle è la residenza ereditaria dei Royal Macers e Sergeants at Arms che hanno servito al Falkland Castle almeno dal XVI secolo. La tenuta fu utilizzata come ritiro anche dopo l'Unione delle Corone, da Giacomo VI e I dove in una delle occasioni nacque Elisabetta Stuart, da Carlo I e da Carlo II. L'esercito invasore di Cromwell incendiò il palazzo, che cadde velocemente in rovina. Nel 1887 John Crichton-Stuart, III marchese di Bute iniziò il restauro del palazzo. I Crichton-Stuart, eredi del palazzo, al tempo guidati dal Quinto Marchese di Bute decisero all'inizio degli anni cinquanta, di affidarlo alle cure del National Trust for Scotland, pur rimanendo di proprietà della famiglia. Descrizione L'ala sud contiene la Cappella Reale, mentre l'ala est la stanza da letto del Re e la stanza della Regina. I visitatori possono anche vedere i Keeper's Apartments nella Gatehouse. Nei giardini si trova il campo di pallacorda, costruito nel 1539, il più antico ancora in uso e sede del Falkland Palace Royal Tennis Club.

Pałac Falkland

Pałac Falkland (ang. Falkland Palace) – była rezydencja królów Szkocji położona w hrabstwie Fife. Początkowo budowla miała postać średniowiecznego zamku, który szkocka rodzina królewska kupiła w XIV wieku od klanu MacDuff. W 1402 był sceną krwawych rozgrywek wewnątrz dynastii. Brat króla Roberta III, Robert Stewart, 1. książę Albany, uwięził w nim następcę tronu, Dawida Stewarta, księcia Rothesay. Książę Dawid nie doczekał swojego oswobodzenia, umierając wcześniej z głodu i wyczerpania. W latach 1501–1541 królowie Jakub IV i Jakub V prowadzili przebudowę zamku, czyniąc z niego renesansowy pałac. Dla tego ostatniego był miejscem śmierci. Pałac stał się cenionym przez kolejnych władców miejscem wypoczynku. Nie zmieniło się to nawet po zawarciu unii personalnej z Anglią - chętnie przyjeżdżali tam Jakub I, Karol I i Karol II. W czasie wojny domowej został on bowiem doszczętnie spalony przez wojska Olivera Cromwella. Przez kolejne 200 lat pozostawał w ruinie. W 1887 dzieło odbudowy zapoczątkował szkocki arystokrata i przemysłowiec John Crichton-Stuart, III markiz Bute. Prace były kontynuowane także przez jego potomków. W 1952 5. markiz Bute podjął decyzję o przekazaniu pałacu w zarząd National Trust of Scotland, organizacji pozarządowej zajmującej się ochroną najcenniejszych szkockich zabytków. Od tego czasu w pałacu działa muzeum, jego wnętrza są też dostępne m.in. na potrzeby przyjęć weselnych. Linki zewnętrzne Pałac Falkland na stronie National Trust of Scotland

O duque encarcerado viria a morrer ali vitimado pela negligência e pela fome. Entre 1501 e 1541, Jaime IV e o seu sucessor, Jaime V, transformaram o velho castelo num belo palácio Real; um dos mais refinados palácios renascentistas da Escócia. James V, já doente, morreu em Falkland em Dezembro de 1542. Antes de falecer, ouviu da sua esposa a boanova de que dera à luz uma filha, a futura Maria I da Escócia. Falkland tornou-se num refúgiu popular para todos os monarcas Stuart, os quais gostavam de praticar falcoaria e de caçar veados e javalis nas suas florestas. O vizinho Myres Castle é a casa hereditária dos oficais Reais (Macers e Sergeants at Arms) que serviram o Castelo de Falkland desde, pelo menos, o século XVI. Mesmo depois da União das Coroas, os reis Jaime I da Inglaterra, Carlos I e Carlos II visitaram Falkland. O exército invasor de Oliver Cromwell incendiou o palácio, o qual viria a cair rapidamente em ruína. Em 1887, John Crichton-Stuart, 3° Marquês de Bute, começou o restauro do palácio. Em 1952, o palácio foi entregue pela família Crichton-Stuart ao . O Palácio de Falkland tem estado ao cuidado da família Crichton Stuart desde a sua aquisição pelo 3º Marquês de Bute, em 1887.

Фолклендский дворец

Фолклендский дворец (англ. Falkland Palace) — охотничий дворец во французском (проторенессансном) стиле, воздвигнутый в 1497—1541 годах в местечке Фолкленд (область Файф, Шотландия) шотландскими королями Яковом IV и Яковом V. История Шотландские монархи приобрели Фолкленд у клана Макдаффов в 1424 году. Роберт Стюарт уморил голодом в Фолклендском замке старшего сына короля Роберта III, Давида. Яков IV и Яков V сюда наведывались в основном во время соколиных охот. Едва ли не главная достопримечательность замка — старейший в мире зал для игры в реал-теннис (1539), который до сих пор используется спортсменами. Отец Марии Стюарт, Яков V, умер в этой резиденции, и его преемники не жаловали её своим вниманием. В 1654 году дворец был сожжён солдатами Кромвеля и простоял в развалинах до 1887 года, когда Джон Патрик Крайтон-Стюарт, 3-й маркиз Бьют (представитель младшей ветви дома Стюартов) начал реставрационные работы. Его потомки владеют дворцом и по сей день. С 1952 года зданием доверительно управляет Национальный фонд Шотландии.
