Castle MacEwen

Castle MacEwen (schottisch-gälisch: Caisteal Mhic Eoghainn) ist die Ruine eines Forts auf der Halbinsel Cowal am Ostufer des Loch Fyne in der schottischen Council Area Argyll and Bute. Die Wehranlage liegt in der Nähe der Siedlung Kilfinan, etwa 5 Kilometer südlich von Otter Ferry. Auf dem Gelände war ein mittelalterliches Dun, das mit einem Promontory Fort überbaut wurde und später mit einem mittelalterlichen Bauwerk. Das Gelände ist mit dem Clan MacEwen verbunden, der Verbindungen in der Gegend des Loch Fyne hat. Geschichte Das Fort gehörte dem Clan Ewen of Otter. Im Jahre 1432 musste der Clanchef Swene MacEwen of Otter seine Baronie an König Jakob I. abgeben, der sie an Celestine Campbell weitergab, für den Fall, dass Swene MacEwen ohne Nachfolger sterben würde. So fielen die Ländereien der MacEwens zusammen mit der Burg 1493 an eine Nebenlinie des Clan Campbell. Ausgrabungen Ausgrabungen unter der Führung der Cowal Archaeological Society enthüllten 1968–1969, dass das früheste Bauwerk an diesem Standort eine Einfriedung mit Palisaden aus dem Mittelalter war. Die Ausgrabungen zeigten auch, dass das Fort über diese originale Struktur gebaut wurde. Später wurde das Fort in eine mittelalterliche Heimstatt umgewandelt. Die Erbauer dieser Heimstatt nutzten die alten Mauern als Basis für ihre Verteidigungsanlagen, indem sie rechteckig geschnittene Steine hinzufügten. Auch entdeckte man Gänge zum Meer hinunter auf der Süd- und der Nordseite der Anlage. Pfostenlöcher brachten Material zutage, das auf das 15. oder 16. Jahrhundert datiert wurde, und man entdeckte auch verglaste Materialien. 1969 entdeckte man auch die Reste eines runden Hauses, das im Bereich eines Durchgangs gegen die Ringmauer gebaut worden war. Das Haus hatte einen gepflasterten Boden und man mutmaßte, dass es sich um ein Lagergebäude handeln könnte. Eine weitere Entdeckung war ein Gebäude, dessen Form der eines Bootes ähnelte. Man fand knapp außerhalb der Ringmauer. In den neu entdeckten Gebäuden fand man allerdings keine weiteren Objekte, was dazu führte, dass man das Alter dieser Gebäude nicht einschätzen konnte. Weitere Funde waren ein Kruzifix aus dem 12. Jahrhundert, ein Groat aus dem 15. Jahrhundert und Tonscherben aus dem 13. und 18. Jahrhundert. Alle Artefakte wurden in die Glasgow Art Gallery and Museum gebracht. Einzelnachweise Quellen Dorothy N. Marshall: Excavations at Macewen’s Castle, Argyll, in 1968–69.

Castle MacEwen

Castle MacEwen (Scottish Gaelic: Caisteal Mhic Eoghainn) is a ruined fort in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is near Kilfinan, on the eastern banks of Loch Fyne, around 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) south of Otter Ferry. History The site was a medieval dun, which was superseded by a promontory fort, and later by a medieval homestead. The site is linked to the Clan MacEwen who are associated with the Loch Fyne area. The castle was held by Clan Ewen of Otter. In the year 1432 the chief Swene MacEwen of Otter surrendered his barony to King James I who regranted it with a destination to Celestine Campbell in the event that Swene should die without an heir. Thus when Swene died in 1493, the lands passed to a branch of Clan Campbell along with the castle. An excavation project led by the Cowal Archaeological Society in 1968-69 found that the earliest structure that stood on the site was a palisaded enclosure of medieval date. Results from the excavations also showed that a fort was built over this initial structure. Eventually, the fort was turned into a medieval homestead. The builders of the homestead used the ancient walls for bolstering defense, adding large rectangular stones to it. Passages leading to the sea, on the north and the south, were also discovered. Postholes provided material that was dated to the 15th and 16th centuries, and vitrified material was also discovered. Another discovery was made in 1969, when a round house built against the rampart at the gateway was discovered. The house had a cobbled floor, and it was conjectured that the building was possibly a store house. The other discovery was of a building resembling a boat. It was found just outside the main rampart. These new discoveries were, however, not accompanied by findings of any objects, which meant that the age of the buildings could not be ascertained. Other finds included a 12th-century crucifix, a 15th-century groat, and 13th and 18th century pottery shards. All finds were sent to the Glasgow Art Gallery and Museum.

Indeed, Selkirk sent a team to the inaugural Melrose Sevens tournament back in 1883, and have been trying to win the Tournament ever since. The club has produced twelve Scotland internationalists and several British Lions, including John Rutherford, and Ian Paxton. Selkirk's youth system is set up through Schools rugby at Selkirk High School up until the 3rd year. Through the fourth, fifth, and sixth years, players who wish to continue playing rugby join Selkirk Youth Club. Selkirk Youth Club has had much recent success, being unbeaten league Champions in 2010 and winning the league again in 2012 with one defeat, Border Cup winners in 2011 and National U18 Cup finalists in 2011 and 2012. They also won the National U18 Cup in 2003. Selkirk Sevens Selkirk RFC run the Selkirk Sevens. Selkirk's own Sevens tournament takes place annually in May.

Craigholme School

Craigholme School was a private school for girls situated in the Pollokshields area of the South Side of Glasgow, Scotland. It was founded in 1894 and closed in 2020. History The school was founded in 1894 by Mrs Jessie Murdoch as Pollokshields Ladies' School. The school had forty pupils on the roll and was housed at 63 Dalziel Drive in a villa named Craigholme. The school initially accepted boys up to the age of nine and girls up to the age of fourteen. The school's name was changed after the First World War to Craigholme School. In 1937, the senior pupils moved to a house at 72 St Andrew's Drive on the corner with Hamilton Avenue, part of what is now the main site of the school, while the junior school remained at Dalziel Drive. The school was evacuated to the Trossachs from 1939–1940, and in 1942, headmistress Margaret Logie retired, selling the school to Pollok School Company, which had been established by parents and businessmen to preserve the school. The house at 328 Albert Drive was added to the school in 1942, and at 68 St Andrew's Drive in 1955. The school expanded further in 1963 with the purchase of numbers 2 and 4 Hamilton Avenue, which stood adjacent to 72 St Andrew's Drive. Three new laboratories and a hall were built in 1971, with a further storey on the science facilities in 1987. St Ronan's Preparatory School at 204 Nithsdale Road was purchased in 1993 with the proceeds from the sale of 328 Albert Drive. The building housed Craigholme's nursery to J3 pupils until a dedicated nursery site was acquired at 62 St Andrew's Drive. Expansion in 2006 included a £2 million Sports Complex on the school's playing fields at Pollok Park which can be hired by external users (for example, the complex has become the 'home' of Glasgow Gladiators Powerchair FC). In 2018, it was announced that Craigholme would join the 'Glasgow Schools Trust' with Kelvinside Academy. However, as pupil enrolment still decreased, it was decided in February 2019 to shut Craigholme Senior School in August 2019 and transfer pupils to Kelvinside, with Craigholme Junior School and the Nursery staying unaffected. In 2020, the Nursery and Primary School also closed for good. The buildings were sold in October 2020 for around £2.5 million, with plans for a residential development involving the destruction of the newer parts of the site submitted to the local authority two years later.

ГЕС-ГАЕС Круачан

ГЕС-ГАЕС Круачан (англ. Cruachan Power Station) — гідроелектростанція в центральній частині Шотландії, на заході Грампіанських гір. Верхній резервуар станції створили на струмку, який стікає з південного схилу гірського масиву Бен-Круачан у озеро Лох-Ейв (через річку Ейв має сток у затоку Атлантичного океану Loch Etive). Для цього звели бетонну контрфорсну греблю висотою 46 метрів та довжиною 311 метрів, на спорудження якої пішло 116 тис. м3 матеріалу. В результаті утворилась водойма із об'ємом 10 млн м3, яка може забезпечувати роботу ГАЕС протягом до 22 годин. Хоча основною функцією комплексу є гідроакумуляція, проте до сховища Бен-Круачан за допомогою водозбірної мережі тунелів та труб загальною довжиною 19 км збирається вода з місцевих струмків. Це дозволяє виробляти 10 % електроенергії за рахунок природного припливу. Як нижній резервуар використовується згадане вище озеро Лох-Ейв, при цьому різниця у висоті між водоймами складає 396 метрів. Із верхнім резервуаром машинний зал з'єднують дві напірні шахти, із нижнім — тунель довжиною 0,9 км та діаметром 7 метрів. Машинний зал станції споруджений у підземному виконанні та має розміри 91,5х21,5 метра при висоті 38 метрів. Крім того, поряд розташований менший зал для трансформаторного обладнання. Доступ до них здійснюється з поверхні через тунель довжиною 1 км перетином 7,3х4 метри. Всього при спорудженні ГАЕС знадобилась виїмка 220 тис. м3 скельного матеріалу. Основне обладнання станції становлять чотири оборотні турбіни типу Френсіс одиничною потужністю до 110 МВт у турбінному режимі та до 120 МВт у насосному режимі. ГАЕС може вийти на повну потужність за дві хвилини, або навіть за 30 секунд при застосуванні стисненого повітря для прокручування лопатей турбін. Зв'язок з енергосистемою відбувається по ЛЕП, що працює під напругою 275 кВ. У 2014 році власник станції компанія Scottish Power оголосила про плани збільшення її потужності більш ніж у 2 рази — до 1040 МВт. Примітки
Dépôt de munitions de Glen Douglas

DM Glen Douglas est un dépôt de munitions de l'OTAN à Argyll and Bute, en Écosse, construit entre 1962 et 1966. En 1989, il desservait l'OTAN en tant que dépôt de munitions pré-positionné, stockant environ 40 000 tonnes de missiles, grenades anti-sous marine et obus. Il est maintenant utilisé par le Royaume-Uni. Le dépôt se trouve à Glen Douglas (en), une vallée d'environ 10 kilomètres à travers laquelle l'eau de Douglas coule vers l'est jusqu'au Loch Lomond. Le dépôt lui-même est situé à moins d'un kilomètre et demi du Loch Long. Arrochar est le village le plus proche. Le dépôt couvre près de 263 hectares et accueille 56 magasins construits dans une colline. Il est relié au réseau ferroviaire par une petite voie de la ligne West Highland (en). Dans les années 1970, une jetée a été construite à Glen Mallan sur le Loch Long, reliée au dépôt par une route militaire qui monte le long du flanc ouest de Craggan Hill. En janvier 2003, le porte-avions HMS Ark Royal s'est amarré à la jetée de Glen Mallon pour s'approvisionner en munitions avant l'invasion imminente de l'Irak. Avec le soutien tacite du syndicat ASLEF, les conducteurs de trains d'EWS basés à Motherwell et travaillant sous contrat du ministère de la Défense ont refusé de transporter des munitions au dépôt, en opposition à ce qu'ils qualifiaient de "ruée vers la guerre". L'action des conducteurs a été soutenue dans une motion de la Chambre des communes signée par 25 députés.

Drumkilbo

Drumkilbo House is a listed stately home and garden near Meigle, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. Location Drumkilbo is located on the edge of the village of Meigle, about ten miles east of Blairgowrie, and adjacent to the estate of Glamis Castle. History The first recorded owner of Drumkilbo was Robert the Bruce; he passed it to his liegeman Morice de Tiry in about 1300. For 300 years it was the home of the Tyree family, including Jesuit theologian James Tyrie (1543–1597), and Sir Thomas Tyree, race horse owner and associate of Charles I of England. In 1650 it became the property of the Nairne family. Lord Wharncliffe purchased Drumkilbo in about 1851; he sold it to Edward Cox in 1900. The Cox family at that time were the leading proprietors of the jute industry in Dundee. In 1951 Drumkilbo was sold to the 17th Lord Elphinstone, whose nephew inherited it in 1975, and sold off much of the estate in 1984. Architecture Drumkilbo, including the walled garden, is a category B listed building. The house itself is mid 19th century Georgian with a 13th-century stone spiral staircase at its core. Additions were made in 1920 to designs by Sir Robert Lorimer. It has sixteen acres of landscaped grounds, which are included on the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland, a list of nationally significant parks. Cultural connections Drumkilbo has been used as a filming location, including for an episode of The Beechgrove Garden. It gives its name to Eggs Drumkilbo, a dish of hard-boiled eggs with lobster and prawns, reportedly the favourite savoury dish of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.

Eilean Loain

Eilean Loain is a small island in Loch Sween and one of the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. It is about 2 kilometres (1 mi) west of the settlement of Kilmichael of Inverlussa in Knapdale and a similar distance southeast of the village of Tayvallich on the other side of the loch. It is attended by the islet of Cala that lies to the north west. Eilean Loain has a substantial jetty on the north shore and a large building nearby. It was described as "inhabited" by Haswell-Smith in 2004 and Argyll and Bute Council records indicate the presence of a dwelling house. According to the National Records of Scotland census information the island is "included in the NRS statistical geography for inhabited islands but had no usual residents at the time of either the 2001 or 2011 censuses". However, in 2022 the census recorded a resident population of two. Eilean Loain is part of the Knapdale National Scenic Area, one of 40 in Scotland.

Farnell Castle

Farnell Castle ist ein Tower House, etwa 6,5 km südlich von Brechin in der schottischen Council Area Angus. Der rechteckige Bau stammt vom Beginn des 16. Jahrhunderts. Geschichte Die bis heute erhaltene Burg ersetzte eine frühere Burg an dieser Stelle aus dem Jahr 1296. Ursprünglich war es der Palast des Bischofs von Brechin. Bischof William Meldrum nannte ihn 1512 „Palatium nostrum“ (dt.: unser Palast). Um 1566 wurde er eingerichtet, vermutlich von Abt Donald Campbell. Catherine, Countess of Crawford, ließ Farnell Castle in eine weltliche Burg umwandeln. Später kaufte der Earl of Southesk die Burg. Im 19. Jahrhundert diente sie als Armenhaus. Architektur Die Burg hat drei Stockwerke und wurde aus Bruchstein und Schiefer errichtet. Der östliche Teil war die Residenz des Bischofs und hat Staffelgiebel. An der Nordseite befindet sich ein Aborterker mit Sanitäreinrichtungen. Am Ostgiebel befindet sich auf der Höhe der Böden eine Doppelreihe von Konsolen und Konsolen sollten auch die gedeckte Galerie unterstützen. Auf den nördlichen Skewpots befinden sich kleine, eingeschnittene Schilder. Eines davon trägt die Initiale „M“ und eine Krone darüber, das andere „I. M.“, was für „Jesu Maria“ stehen soll. An der Vorderseite liegt ein Wendeltreppenturm. Historic Scotland hat Farnell Castle als historisches Bauwerk der Kategorie A gelistet. Ein zugehöriger Taubenturm ist außerdem als Denkmal der Kategorie B eingestuft. Auf dem Burggelände gibt es auch die Ruine eines rechteckigen Anbau-Taubenhauses mit Bruchsteinmauern, die durch spätere Strebewerke gestützt werden.

Farnell Castle

Farnell Castle is an oblong tower house dating from the late 16th century four miles south of Brechin, Angus, Scotland. History The present castle replaces a previous castle on the site, in existence in 1296. King Edward I of England stayed one night in 1296 at the castle during his invasion of Scotland, before travelling to Brechin Castle. The castle originated as the Bishop's palace of the Bishop of Brechin. Bishop Meldrum called it ‘Palatium Nostrum’ in 1512. It was disposed of in about 1566, supposedly by Donald Campbell. It was turned into a secular castle by Catherine, Countess of Crawford. Subsequently, the Earl of Southesk purchased the castle. It was an alms house in the 19th century. Structure The castle is a three-storey structure, built from rubble and slate. The east section, which was the bishop's residence, has crow-stepped gables. On the north are a projecting garderobe, with sanitary flues. On the east gable, at the level of the floors, there is a double row of corbels, and corbels which appear to have been for the purpose of supporting a roofed gallery. On the northern skewpots are small carved shields. One has the initial M, and a crown above; the other I.M., thought to stand for ‘Jesu Maria’ There is a circular stair tower in front. It is a category A listed building. There is ruined rectangular lean-to dovecot with rubble walls supported by later buttressing in the castle grounds. References
