ГЕС Глендоу

ГЕС Глендоу (англ. Glendoe Hydro Scheme0 — гідроелектростанція в центральній Шотландії. Введена в експлуатацію у 2009 році, вона стала першою ГЕС потужністю понад 50 МВт, спорудженою у Великій Британії за кілька десятиліть. Для роботи станції використовується вода із ряду східних приток озера Лох-Несс, які дренують північну частину Грампіанських гір. Водосховище для накопичення ресурсу створили на річці Tarff за допомогою кам'яно-накидної греблі з бетонним облицюванням висотою 32 метри та довжиною 911 метрів. Вона утримує водойму площею поверхні 1,5 км2 та об'ємом 13 млн м3 (корисний об'єм 8 млн м3), з нормальним коливанням рівня між позначками 624 та 631 метр НРМ. Окрім природного стоку, до водосховища надходить додатковий ресурс, передусім через східну систему, що включає дванадцять водозаборів у сточищі річки Fechlin (лівий виток Foyers, яка впадає у північну частину Лох-Несс). Крім того, є чотири водозабори поблизу сховища: на північ від нього, де близько підходять витоки однієї з лівих приток Fechlin, та на південний захід, зі сточища Uisg-a'Chaime (ліва притока Tarff, яка впадає в нього нижче від греблі). В цілому водозбірна мережа включає тунель довжиною 8,7 км перетином 4,8х5 метрів та водоводи загальною довжиною 8,2 км з діаметром від 0,75 до 2 метрів. Підвідний дериваційний тунель, який прямує від сховища до машинного залу у північно-західному напрямку, має довжину 6,3 км, діаметр 5 метрів та забезпечує створення напору у 605 метрів. Особливістю схеми є відсутність верхнього балансуючого резервуару. Крім того можливо відзначити, що до тунелю подається ресурс із сімнадцятого водозабору у верхів'ї Allt Doe (ще одна ліва притока Лох-Несс, яка впадає в нього між Tarff та Fechlin). Машинний зал станції споруджений у підземному виконанні на глибині 250 метрів. Він має розміри 47х19,5 метра при висоті 32 метри та доступний через тунель довжиною 1,3 км. Крім того, у меншому підземному залі розміщено трансформаторне обладнання. ГЕС оснащена однією турбіною типу Пелтон потужністю 100 МВт, яка повинна виробляти 180 млн кВт-год електроенергії на рік. Відпрацьована вода вівдодиться до Лох-Несс по тунелю довжиною 1,5 км із таким саме діаметром 5 метрів. Невдовзі після введення станції в експлуатацію, у серпні 2009 року, в підвідному дериваційному тунелі стався обвал, який перекрив його протягом кількох сотень метрів. Ремонтні роботи тривали три роки та включали прокладання на заміну заваленої ділянки двох нових тунелів довжиною 0,9 та 0,2 км. Примітки

Glenesk Folk Museum

Glenesk Folk Museum is a museum located in the Glen Esk valley, in Tarfside, Angus, Scotland. It is about 9 miles (14 km) north of the village of Edzell. It is housed in a former shooting lodge, known as 'The Retreat', which used to belong to the Earls of Dalhousie. The museum contains artefacts and documents related to the history of the surrounding area. History The Museum was established in 1955 by Greta Michie, a local schoolteacher who was inspired by folk museums in Scandinavia. The building used for the museum, known as 'the Retreat', had been constructed as a retirement cottage in the 1840s by Captain J.E. Wemyss. It was later expanded and used as a shooting lodge, and later a summer house by the Earls of Dalhousie, before falling into disuse. Lord and Lady Dalhousie assisted with the establishment of the museum on this site. The museum was refurbished and expanded in 2007. Collections The museum's artefacts are arranged thematically into rooms, including spaces covering music and costume. There are reconstructions of rooms from the 1850s, including a children's room. The museum also has a document archive for genealogical research, including Census records from 1841 to 1891 and a partial record of births, marriages and deaths in the Glen and the parishes of Edzell and Lethnot. This room has computers. The museum has a small collection of musical instruments, highlights of which include a trapezoidal Savart-style violin that was played for many years on the streets of Aberdeen by an itinerant musician, and a coach horn known to have been used locally as late as the 1930s on one of the last horse-drawn stagecoaches operating in the United Kingdom. Facilities and events Since its foundation, the Retreat has sold locally produced goods, and this continues in the gift shop. There is also a cafe offering light refreshments. The Retreat also has conference facilities, a function room, a nature trail and a children's play area. Regular craft workshops are run on-site, along with other events which have included music recitals and storytelling. See also List of music museums References
Glenlair House

Glenlair, near the village of Corsock in the historical county of Kirkcudbrightshire, in Dumfries and Galloway, was the home of the physicist James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879). The original structure was designed for Maxwell's father by Walter Newall; Maxwell himself oversaw the construction of an extension in the late 1860s, and further improvements were made by his heir, Andrew Wedderburn-Maxwell. A fire in 1929 left the house gutted, but a project to preserve and stabilise the remains has been undertaken by the Maxwell at Glenlair Trust. References External links Official website

The club play home games at Warout Stadium, and currently compete in the East of Scotland League First Division, having moved from the junior leagues in 2019. Their strip colours are red with white trim. History Formed in May 1964 with assistance from the Glenrothes Development Corporation, the "Glens" played their first game against near neighbours Thornton Hibs in August the same year at their original Dovecot Park ground. A crowd of 5,400 attended a Scottish Junior Cup quarter-final tie against Shotts Bon Accord here during Glenrothes' run to the final in 1968. The club moved to the purpose-built Warout Stadium in 1971, one of the larger grounds in junior football, with room for around 5,000 spectators, 730 of whom can be seated. The record attendance for this ground is 5,600 against Cambuslang Rangers in another Junior Cup quarter-final tie in 1974. Glenrothes' greatest success as a club came in 1975 when they won the Scottish Junior Cup, defeating Rutherglen Glencairn 1–0, in front of a crowd of 17,776 at Hampden Park. Glens had also been runners-up in 1968, losing after a replay to Johnstone Burgh with a combined attendance of 50,000 over the two ties, an impressive achievement given that they had only been formed a mere four years beforehand. The club were members of the Fife Junior League, before competing in the East Region of which they, along with all Fife junior clubs became a part of in 2002. They were relegated from the East Super League (the top division in their region) in season 2005–06, but they immediately returned after clinching the 2006–07 Premier League title and remained in the top tier for three seasons. In March 2019, Glenrothes announced they had applied for membership of the East of Scotland Football League beginning in the 2019–20 season, and were later accepted into the league. As part of the club's move to senior football, its name was changed to reflect this, by dropping the term "Junior".

Glentress Forest

Glentress Forest ist ein Wald im Norden der schottischen Council Area Scottish Borders. Geschichte Der Glentress Forest ging aus einer Wiederaufforstung in den 1920er Jahren hervor. Er zählt zu den ältesten Forsten, welche die Forestry Commission einrichtete. Heute wird er von Forestry and Land Scotland betreut, das sowohl dessen Pflege, den Ausbau als Erholungsgebiet sowie die holzwirtschaftliche Nutzung verantwortet. Lage Das Waldgebiet erstreckt sich am linken Ufer des River Tweed östlich von Peebles. Von der A72 nach Norden erstreckt es sich über die südwestlichen Kuppen der Moorfoot Hills, unter anderem Castle Hill, Ven Law, Black Law, Black Knowe, Totto Hill, Cardon Law und Bowbeat Hill sowie die Dunslair Heights und die Makeness Kipps. Seinen nördlichen Abschluss markiert die Grenze zu Midlothian. Nach Süden zum Tweed durchfließen der Soonhope Burn und das Leithen Water den Glentress Forest. Nutzung Der Glentress Forest ist als Naherholungsgebiet ausgebaut. Markiert sind fünf Wanderwege und sieben ausgewiesene Mountain-Bike-Routen jeweils unterschiedlicher Schwierigkeitsgrade, die über die Kuppen der Moorfoot Hills führen. Außerdem ist ein Waldlehrpfad sowie ein Waldseilgarten eingerichtet. Einzelnachweise Weblinks Informationen von Forestry and Land Scotland
Glentress Forest

Glentress Forest lies east of Peebles in the Scottish Borders, about 30 miles south of Edinburgh. Part of the Tweed Valley Forest Park along with Traquair Forest in Innerleithen, it is the home of a mountain biking centre. The forest is at the southern end of the Moorfoot Hills and is accessed from Glentress hamlet, which is on the A72 road. History There are remains of an Iron Age hill fort at the top of Janet's Brae which offers a spectacular vista over the town of Peebles. The forest was planted in the 1920s in response to the national shortage of timber brought about by the First World War. Some of the original stands of Douglas Fir remain to this day. During the 1930s, unemployed men were set to work in Glentress Forest, breaking ground, building tracks, and undertaking other heavy labour. The men lived in a work camp at Eshiels, which was one of a number of so-called Instructional Centres run by the Ministry of Labour in order to 'harden' young men who had been out of work for some time. By 1938, the ministry was operating 35 Instructional Centres across Britain, with a total capacity of over 6,000 places. By 1939, unemployment was declining in the face of impending war, and the Ministry closed its work camps. Bike trails The mountain biking centre is one of the 7stanes mountain bike trails operated throughout southern Scotland by Forestry and Land Scotland. There are currently five mountain bike waymarked routes and a freeride park in Glentress Forest. The historic cycle trails, aimed at children and families, provide a way to explore the forest and its history. The blue, red, and black mountain bike routes provide a challenge for all abilities. The red route is noted for a high-speed section with many bermed corners, known as Spooky Woods. The green trail is a "skills loop", and is designed for those new to mountain biking, although there are some challenges for those wishing to practice rocky sections or raised wooden trails too. The UCI MTB World Championships were held at Glentress in August 2023, when the winners were Pauline Ferrand-Prévot and Tom Pidcock.
