Ugie Hospital

Ugie Hospital is a small hospital in Peterhead, Scotland, providing psychogeriatric services. It is managed by NHS Grampian. History The foundation stone for the facility was laid in June 1905. It first opened as the local infectious diseases hospital in 1907. In 2004, the Ravenscraig geriatric ward at the hospital was closed to new admissions because of an outbreak of MRSA among the elderly patients. Eight of the 13 patients were found to be carriers of the bacteria, although none of the patients was actually infected. In August 2005 Aberdeenshire Community Health Partnership issued a consultation document on Older People's Services, Maternity Services and Diagnostic and Treatment Services, one of which would have allowed "the relocation of all psychogeriatric services out of Ugie Hospital and enable it to be closed". After certain services transferred to Fraserburgh Hospital, the Buchanhaven Ward at Ugie Hospital was closed in May 2011. References

Graemsay

Graemsay è un'isola situata all'imbocco occidentale verso Scapa Flow, nelle Isole Orcadi, in Scozia. Sull'isola vi sono due fari. Geografia e geologia Graemsay è situata tra Hoy e la cittadina di Stromness posta sull'isola di Mainland Orkney, separata dal Clestrain Sound. La superficie dell'isola è di 409 ettari e vi si possono trovare molte fattorie e poderi, denominati croft L'isola è composta da arenaria rossa, risalente al periodo Devoniano, e vi sono due faglie di origine vulcanica. Sulla costa settentrionale si può inoltre trovare granito, una vera rarità per le isole Orcadi. Graemsay è circondata da una forte attività di alta e bassa marea, nota localmente col nome di roosts. Un regolare servizio di traghetti della compagnia Orkney Ferries collega l'isola con la cittadina di Stromness e con Moaness, sull'isola di Hoy. Natura Molte specie di uccelli nidificano sull'isola. Tra questi la beccaccia di mare, o ostrichiere, il corriere grosso, la pettegola e il chiurlo maggiore. Alcune aree dell'isola sono ancora allo stato selvaggio e costituiscono un paradiso per la flora locale. Storia Graemsay, come molte altre isole delle Orcadi, ha origini legate alla Chiesa Celtica, probabilmente pre-Norvegese. Sull'isola vi sono i resti di due chiese antiche, dedicate a San Bride e a Santa Columba, due Santi di origine irlandese. Vi sono due fari sull'isola, Hoy High (a Nord-Est) e Hoy Low (a Nord-Ovest), entrambi costruiti nel 1851 da Alan Stevenson per l'industria di aringhe. Nel punto denominato Oxan, nell'estremo Nord-Ovest dell'isola, a Burra Sound, vi sono relitti di navi affondate deliberatamente durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Questa era una strategia seguita per tutti gli stretti d'accesso a Scapa Flow. Vi era una scuola a Graemsay, che però chiuse nel 1996. Da allora, i bambini in età scolare dell'isola sono costretti a viaggiare quotidianamente col traghetto per raggiungere la scuola di Stromness.

Union Bridge, Aberdeen

Union Bridge is a bridge on Union Street in Aberdeen, Scotland. It is the largest single-span granite bridge in the world, at 130 feet (40 metres). It was built by Thomas Fletcher under some influence from Thomas Telford. It is a Category B listed building with Historic Scotland. History Constructed from 1801–05 as part of Union Street under plans suggested by Charles Abercrombie, it was intended to provide an impressive approach into the city from the south (and west); previously the route had been somewhat circuitous. The bridge crosses the Denburn valley, and Union Terrace Gardens. Alongside the gardens are a dual carriageway and single railway track; originally there was a small roadway and considerable railway workings, with the site being a short distance north of Aberdeen railway station. The bridge was widened in 1908, in a scheme of William Diack, with Benjamin Baker as consultant, shortly before the latter's death. Steel side spans which carry today's pavements were introduced, as were the famous "Kelly's cats", black cast metal leopards which sit along the balustrade. The 'cats' were cast by William Wilson and added to the bridge in 1910. The name Kelly’s Cats is actually a misnomer as only the decorative bronze friezes, installed on the bridge in 1908, were designed by the Aberdeen architect William Kelly. The southern side of the bridge, including the cats, was hidden, and the view lost, when shops were constructed along it in the 1960s. These later became part of the Trinity Centre. The road and railways continue to run under the shops. The southern balustrade was moved to Duthie Park. Makeshift fencing was installed along the bridge in 2016 in an attempt to deter people from committing suicide. A permanent barrier was completed as part of works to redevelop the adjacent Union Terrace Gardens.

Union Square Aberdeen

Union Square is a shopping centre located in the centre of Aberdeen, Scotland, which opened to the public on Thursday, 29 October 2009. The centre contains a covered shopping mall and retail park. Located on Guild Street and Market Street, the development adjoins onto the side of Aberdeen railway station and Aberdeen bus station creating a transport hub. The shopping centre houses more than 60 shops, over fifteen restaurants, a ten screen 2,300 seat Cineworld cinema (the largest in Aberdeen) and a 3-star Leonardo hotel with 203 rooms. History Following delays, the developer Hammerson began construction of Union Square in 2007. Costing £250 million, the development has a total retail space of 700,000 square feet (65,000 m2). The hotel opened in early September 2009 as the first business to open as part of the Union Square regeneration programme and the rest of the shopping centre opened 7 weeks later on 29 October. More than 40 shops were trading on opening day and this number rose to around 50 by Christmas, with many other retailers opening in 2010 and into 2011 onwards. In January 2024, Marks & Spencer announced that the Union Square store will be extended, absorbing the neighbouring TK Maxx, with the expanded store opening in 2025 following the Bon Accord Centre branch closing. Transportation The construction of Union Square on disused railway land also saw the redevelopment of Aberdeen bus station. The shopping centre is now part of a covered interchange between the bus and railway station. Additional bus services run past the centre via Guild Street.

University Hall (University of St Andrews)

University Hall is a student hall of residence at the University of St Andrews in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. When it opened in 1896 it was the first residence for women students in Scotland. University Hall is now a mixed residence. Louisa Lumsden was the first warden of the new residence hall and remained in that position until 1900. The Hall consists of three buildings: Wardlaw, a listed building acquired in 1947, which continues to be open to lady students only; Old Wing, the original hall; and the modern Lumsden Wing in 1962, which contains the central dining room. The amenities include libraries and an oak panelled common room. University Hall underwent a major refurbishment, which was completed in 2009. Whitehorn Hall was opened in 2018 within the grounds of University Hall and was named after journalist Katharine Whitehorn. The design and architecture firm HLM won the 2019 Scottish Design Award in the 'Architecture: Residential' category for the design of the new hall. The building also won 'Best Building' in the Educational category at the St Andrews Preservation Trust’s Pride of Place Awards in 2022.

University of Dundee Botanic Garden

The University of Dundee Botanic Garden is a botanical garden in the West End of the city of Dundee, Scotland. The gardens are kept and funded entirely by the University of Dundee. History Plans for a Botanic Garden in Dundee were first advanced by Professor Patrick Geddes in 1906, but were not acted upon at that point. This scheme would have seen the gardens developed between the Perth Road and Magdalen Green. Geddes was then Professor of Botany at University College, Dundee, and was responsible for laying out the grounds of its quadrangle (now known as the Geddes Quadrangle) in order that they could be used for teaching purposes. Another Geddes proposal in 1909 failed to be supported by University College. A further scheme suggested by Geddes in 1909 failed to gain support from the University College authorities. Plans for a garden at the university were again mooted in the 1960s, but were rejected on grounds of cost. It was in 1970 that James Drever, Vice-Chancellor of the university, seriously considered the proposal and moved towards its foundation. The first appointed curator, Edward Kemp, brought a wealth of knowledge to the post, having formerly been curator at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. Curators There have been, to date, four curators of the gardens: Edward Kemp (1971–1980) Les Bissett (1980–1998) Alasdair Hood (1998–2018) Kevin Frediani (2019–present) Entry The garden is open daily from 10am until 4.30pm (March–October) or 3.30pm (November–February). A modest admission fee is charged, although entry is free for staff and matriculated students of the university. On Christmas Day, Boxing Day and the first two days of January, the gardens are closed. Friends The Friends of Dundee University Botanic Garden is a charitable and voluntary society set up in 1982 to support the garden's development, raise funds and promote the garden's activities. In 2007 and 2008 the Friends led the campaign against plans to close the garden. References External links Official website
