Inverleith House

Inverleith House is a historic house, now within the Royal Botanic Garden, in the suburb of Inverleith, in Edinburgh, Scotland. History Inverleith House was designed in 1773 by David Henderson and built for James Rocheid in 1774. In about 1820 a part of the Inverleith estate was sold to become the Royal Botanic Garden. The house was bought by the city in 1877 together with another part of the estate and, after restoration work following a fire, became the official residence of the Regius Keeper (director) of the Royal Botanic Garden. From 1960 it housed the new Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, which in 1984 moved to the building of the former John Watson's Institution on Belford Road. On 4 December 1970 the house was listed as a historic building in category B, with Historic Scotland id 28081. An extension was built in 1974. Since 1986 the house has been used as exhibition space by the Royal Botanic Garden. Exhibitions of botanical and contemporary art are held there. It was refurbished in 1990 and again in 2004, with support from National Lottery Funds administered by The Scottish Arts Council, which also supports the exhibitions programme. References
Peebles RFC

Peebles Rugby Football Club is a rugby union club based in Peebles in the Scottish Borders. The team currently competes in Scottish National League Division Two, the third tier of Scottish club rugby. The earliest record available of rugby being played in Peebles was of a game in 1877 in Kingsmeadows Park and Peebles Rugby Football Club was formed in 1879. The club ceased to exist about 1900 but was re-constituted in 1923 and now play their home games at the Gytes. Peebles is outwith the central Borders and was outside the main rugby playing towns of Galashiels, Melrose, Selkirk and Hawick. They often lacked players, with a stronger football presence to the north, due to the links to Midlothian and Edinburgh. With the growth of neighbouring Innerleithen, improving links and players from local schools, PRFC gradually climbed the ranks. David Rupert Wills III scored the fastest try in PRFC history, touching down after only 9 seconds on 24 March 2018. In 1974–75 Peebles joined the National Leagues and were placed in Division 5 East. Promotion to Division 3 came in 1989–90. The big jump came in 2001–02 to Division 2 and then to Division 1 in 2002–03. After two seasons in Division 1, there followed two successive drops to Premier 3 before gaining promotion back to Scottish Hydro Electric Premier 2 in 2007–08 where Peebles remained until restructuring of the League system in 2011.

Knowe of Yarso

Der Knowe of Yarso ist ein Stalled Cairn auf der Orkneyinsel Rousay in Schottland, der etwa 2900 v. Chr. errichtet und 1934 von Walter Gordon Grant ausgegraben und restauriert wurde. Das Passage tomb vom Typ Orkney-Cromarty (OC) liegt in einem etwa rechteckigen Hügel auf einer Terrasse über einem steilen Hang nördlich der Küstenstraße, die im Süden der Insel am Wyre Sound entlang verläuft. Das äußere Erscheinungsbild und das Betondach sind moderne Ergänzungen. Die Kammer der Megalithanlage gehört zu den kürzeren des Typs und ist nur 7,3 m lang und 1,7 m breit. Nahezu die gesamte Anlage ist aus plattigem Material als Trockenmauerwerk errichtet. Ein vier Meter langer Gang führt von Südosten in die Kammer, die durch große senkrechte Steinplatten in je drei Seitennischen und eine Kopfnische unterteilt ist. In der Anlage wurden Knochen von mindestens 29 Erwachsenen gefunden, aber nur 17 Schädel. Die Überreste von mindestens 36 Hirschen bildeten zusammen mit einer Anzahl von Messern und Schabern aus Feuerstein die Grabbeigaben. In der Nähe liegen die Anlage von Blackhammer, Taversoe Tuick und der Midhowe Cairn. Literatur Anna Ritchie: Orkney and Shetland (= Exploring Scotland's Heritage.).

Knowe of Yarso chambered cairn

Knowe of Yarso chambered cairn is a Neolithic burial monument located on the island of Rousay in Orkney, Scotland. The site was excavated in the 1930s, and uncovered human and animal bones as well as pottery sherds, flint and bone tools, and arrowheads. The tomb, dating to the period between 3500 and 2500 BC, is a stalled chambered cairn, similar to Midhowe and Blackhammer. Historic Environment Scotland established the site as a scheduled monument in 1994. Description The Neolithic burial monument can be found on the island of Rousay in Orkney, Scotland. It sits on a ledge near the top of a steep hill, overlooking Eynhallow Sound. Near the base of the hill, are the remains of Blackhammer chambered cairn. Knowe of Yarso has been dated to the years between 3500 and 2500 BC. The burial monument can be seen as a large grass-covered mound with a concrete roof. The tomb is a type of Orkney–Cromarty stalled chambered cairn, similar to Midhowe and Blackhammer, also located on Rousay. Archaeological excavation during the 1930s revealed a rectangular-shaped cairn measuring 15 m (49 ft) by 8 m (26 ft) externally and situated northwest–southeast. The cairn encloses a burial monument measuring 8 m (26 ft) by 2 m (6 ft 7 in) with a surviving height of 2 m (6 ft 7 in). The roof to the tomb had been removed at some point when the tomb was robbed. The exterior walls of the tomb display decorative stonework which can be seen near the entrance. The original burial chamber contained four compartments separated by pairs of upright slabs. Entrance to the main chamber is through a 4 m (13 ft) passage on the southeast. Excavation uncovered the skeletal remains of at least 29 people, 36 deer, several sheep and a dog. Also found were pottery sherds, four arrowheads, five bone tools and several pieces of flint. Historic Environment Scotland established the site as a scheduled monument in 1994.

Knowe of Yarso Chambered Cairn

De Knowe of Yarso Chambered Cairn is een gekamerde graftombe uit het neolithicum, gelegen aan de zuidkust van Rousay, een van de Schotse Orkney-eilanden. Periode De Knowe of Yarso Chambered Cairn stamt uit het neolithicum. Er is slechts één koolstofdatering uitgevoerd en op basis daarvan wordt geconcludeerd dat de grafheuvel (cairn) in gebruik was rond 2900 v.Chr. De Knowe of Yarso Chambered Cairn werd uitgegraven in 1934, waarna de grafheuvel in staatsbeheer werd gegeven. Een betonnen dakconstructie met daarover een laag turf werd in de twintigste eeuw aangebracht om de cairn tegen de elementen te beschermen. Beschrijving De Knowe of Yarso Chambered Cairn is een rechthoekige graftombe van het type Orkney-Cromarty met afgeronde hoeken en is gelegen op een klifrand, zo'n 91 meter boven zeeniveau. De grafheuvel is ongeveer 15 bij 7,7 meter groot. De maximale hoogte van de grafheuvel is 1,8 meter. De lange as loopt westnoordwest-oostzuidoost. De toegang bevindt zich aan de zuidoostelijke zijde. De graftombe wordt omringd door twee gemetselde muren, die 0,7 meter van elkaar af liggen. Het metselwerk aan de buitenzijde, naast de toegang, vertoont een bepaald patroon, waarbij de stenen schuin gestapeld zijn. De toegangspassage is vier meter lang. De cairn is voorzien van een grove vloer gevormd door platte stenen. Deze ruimte is 7,3 meter bij 1,7 tot 1,8 meter groot en is verdeeld in drie compartimenten door paren van rechtopstaande platte stenen. Het meest noordwestelijke compartiment is groter dan de andere twee en had vermoedelijk een stenen plateau tegen de wand aan het uiteinde. Dit compartiment wordt mede gescheiden van de andere compartimenten middels een stenen drempel. Vondsten Tijdens de opgraving zijn de resten van minstens 29 personen gevonden, de meeste bevonden zich in het achterste compartiment. Van zeventien personen waren de schedels aanwezig. Vijftien van deze schedels stonden naast elkaar op de vloer bij de muur met de voorzijdes naar binnen gericht. Tevens zijn er botten gevonden van minstens 36 edelherten, verspreid door de hele tombe en toegangspassage. Daarnaast werden botresten gevonden van schapen en van een hond. Verder werden resten van aardewerk gevonden van de klokbekercultuur, vier pijlpunten, vijf gereedschappen gemaakt van bot en meer dan zestig gereedschappen van steen. Beheer De Knowe of Yarso Chambered Cairn wordt beheerd door Historic Environment Scotland.

The Kelpies

The Kelpies són dues escultures: dos caps de cavall de 30 metres d'alçada que representen kelpies (esperits de l'aigua de la mitologia escocesa que canvien de forma), situades entre Falkirk i Grangemouth, però més a prop de Grangemouth, dempeus al costat del canal Forth and Clyde, i a prop del riu Carron, a The Helix, un projecte de zones verdes per a connectar setze poblets del consell de Falkirk, a Escòcia. Les escultures foren dissenyades per l'escultor Andy Scott i s'acabaren a l'octubre del 2013. Formen una porta d'entrada a aquest canal Forth and Clyde. Les escultures s'inauguraren l'abril del 2014. Aquesta ampliació del canal torna a connectar el canal Forth and Clyde amb el riu Forth i millora la navegació entre l'est i l'oest d'Escòcia. Referències
The Kelpies

The Kelpies sind zwei Skulpturen aus rostfreiem Stahl, die jeweils rund 30 m hoch sind. Sie stehen in dem 2013 eröffneten Park The Helix nahe beim Forth and Clyde Canal in Falkirk, Schottland. Die Skulpturen stellen zwei Kelpien dar, Wassergeister in Pferdegestalt. Damit soll die Bedeutung von Pferden und ihrer Zugkraft zu Beginn der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung der Region ausgedrückt werden. Sie zogen u. a. schwer beladene Wagen, Pflüge und Lastkähne. The Kelpies sind das Werk des Bildhauers Andy Scott. Jede Skulptur wiegt rund 300 t, sie bestehen jeweils aus einem Stahlgestell, auf dem rund 7000 unterschiedlich geformte, kleine Edelstahlplatten befestigt sind. Die Einweihung erfolgte am 21. April 2014. Einzelnachweise Weblinks Website „The Helix“
The Kelpies

The Kelpies es una escultura de dos cabezas de caballo de 30 metros de altura que representan kelpies (espíritus del agua que cambian de forma), ubicados entre Falkirk y Grangemouth, pero los propios Kelpies están situados en Grangemouth,​ de pie junto a una extensión para el canal Forth and Clyde, y cerca del río Carron, en The Helix, un proyecto de zonas verdes construido para conectar dieciséis comunidades en el área del consejo de Falkirk, Escocia.​ Las esculturas fueron diseñadas por el escultor Andy Scott y se completaron en octubre de 2013.​ Las esculturas forman una puerta de entrada en la entrada este del canal Forth and Clyde, y la extensión del canal se construyó como parte del proyecto de transformación de tierras The Helix. Las esculturas se abrieron al público en abril de 2014.​ Como parte del proyecto, tienen su propio centro de visitantes y se sientan junto a una extensión y piscina giratoria de canal recientemente desarrollada. Esta ampliación del canal vuelve a conectar el canal Forth and Clyde con el río Forth y mejora la navegación entre el este y el oeste de Escocia. Referencias
The Kelpies

The Kelpies The Kelpies sont deux sculptures monumentales en acier, hautes d’environ 30 mètres, situées dans le parc The Helix à Falkirk, en Écosse. Réalisées par le sculpteur Andy Scott, elles furent achevées en octobre 2013 et inaugurées officiellement en avril 2014. Conception et réalisation Le projet s’inscrit dans le cadre du programme de régénération urbaine The Helix, visant à transformer les espaces situés entre le canal de Forth et Clyde et le fleuve Carron. Ce plan, financé par plusieurs organismes publics et privés, avait pour objectif de reconnecter seize communautés locales, d’aménager des espaces verts, des pistes cyclables et piétonnes, et de créer un nouveau tronçon de canal ainsi qu’un tunnel sous l’autoroute M9. Les sculptures des Kelpies constituent l’élément emblématique de ce projet. Elles ont été construites autour d’une ossature en acier, habillée de plaques d’acier inoxydable façonnées individuellement. Chaque structure mesure environ 30 mètres de haut, pèse près de 300 tonnes et est composée de milliers de pièces assemblées. Le processus de fabrication s’est appuyé sur des maquettes à échelle réduite, scannées en trois dimensions pour reproduire les formes en grandeur nature. Les Kelpies encadrent un bassin et une écluse spécialement réalisés, créant une porte monumentale vers la voie d’eau réaménagée. Symbolique et inspirations Le nom de l’œuvre fait référence aux kelpies, créatures issues du folklore écossais et irlandais, des esprits aquatiques capables de se transformer, souvent associés à la forme d’un cheval. Au-delà de cette dimension mythologique, Andy Scott a souhaité rendre hommage à l’héritage industriel et agricole de l’Écosse. Les sculptures évoquent les chevaux de trait, en particulier les chevaux Clydesdales, qui ont joué un rôle majeur dans le travail des champs, le transport des barges sur les canaux et l’industrie métallurgique régionale. Elles symbolisent à la fois la force, le travail collectif et le lien entre légende et mémoire ouvrière. Inauguration et réception Les Kelpies ont été ouvertes au public en 2014. Leur première année d’existence a attiré près d’un million de visiteurs, faisant du site l’une des principales attractions touristiques d’Écosse. L’œuvre a été saluée pour son ambition technique et son intégration dans le projet d’aménagement. Elle a reçu des distinctions dans le domaine de la construction métallique. Toutefois, certains critiques d’art ont émis des réserves, qualifiant l’ensemble de monumental mais manquant de subtilité artistique. Impact culturel Depuis leur création, les Kelpies se sont imposées comme un symbole contemporain de Falkirk et figurent parmi les œuvres d’art public les plus reconnaissables d’Écosse. Elles sont régulièrement utilisées dans la communication touristique et constituent un point de repère majeur du réseau des canaux écossais.

The Kelpies

The Kelpies – 30-metrowa (98-stopowa) rzeźba współczesna wyobrażająca dwie końskie głowy znajdujące się niedaleko Edynburga, między Falkirk i Grangemouth, stojące obok przedłużenia kanału Forth and Clyde oraz w pobliżu rzeki Carron w parku The Helix (około 350 hektarów), projekcie zbudowanym w celu połączenia szesnastu miejscowości w Falkirk Council Area na terenie Szkocji. Należy do największych rzeźb koni na świecie. Rzeźba ważąca około trzysta ton przedstawia kelpie, czyli mityczne, celtyckie konie wodne, mogące zmieniać swój kształt. Miały one nawiedzać szkockie rzeki i jeziora. Wzorcem dla tych konkretnych rzeźb były ciężkie konie szkockie. Obiekt zaprojektował rzeźbiarz Andy Scott, a zrealizowano je w październiku 2013, choć sam pomysł budowy założenia parkowego powstał w 2003. Rzeźby tworzą swoistą bramę przy wschodnim wejściu nad kanał Forth and Clyde oraz nad jego nowe przedłużenie zbudowane w ramach projektu transformacji gruntów parku The Helix. W centrum dla zwiedzających znajduje się sklep z pamiątkami, kawiarnia i punkt informacyjny na temat kelpie. Świadczone są usługi przewodnickie. W parku Helix działa też park rozrywki, są fontanny do zabawy w wodzie, promenady, laguna z kawiarnią na brzegu, a także tereny spacerowe (lasy, łąki i bagna) i ścieżki rowerowe. Przypisy

The Kelpies

The Kelpies är en 30 meter hög skulptur, som föreställer två vattenandar ("kelpies") i hästskepnad. Den står mellan Falkirk och Grangemouth, vid Forth-Clydekanalen och nära floden Carron, i parkområdet The Helix. Skulpturen utgör den östra entrén till Forth–Clydekanalen, en ny kanaldel som anlagts som en del av en omgestaltning av The Helix. De två delarna av The Kelpies är placerade på ömse sidor av en nybyggd sluss och en slussbassäng. Skulpturen är byggd med en stomme av stål med en yta av rostfritt stål. De två delarna väger 300 ton vardera. Skulpturen skapades av Andy Scott och blev klar 2013. The Kelpies är inspirerad av draghästarna från Clydesdale, som arbetade hårt med att dra båtar längs kanalerna och i jordbruket. Namnet The Kelpies speglar "kelpies" i den skotska mytologin, varelser som byter gestalt och som äger tio hästars styrka och uthållighet.
