Invergarry Castle

Invergarry Castle ist eine Burgruine in der Nähe des Dorfes Invergarry am Loch Oich in der schottischen Council Area Highland. Die Burg war der Sitz des Clanchefs der MacDonnells of Glengarry, einem mächtigen Zweig des Clan MacDonald. Die Lage der Burg am Creagan an Fhithich (engl.: Raven’s Rock) im Great Glen war in den Tagen der Clankriege strategisch günstig. Man weiß nicht, wann das erste Gebäude am Creagan an Fhithich errichtet wurde, aber es gab mindestens zwei Festungen vor der heutigen. Beschreibung Das Tower House mit L-förmigem Grundriss hatte einen Rundturm an der Nordostecke. Das Hauptgebäude hatte fünf Stockwerke und der Turm sechs. Das Hauptgebäude bedeckt eine Grundfläche von 16,7 Metern × 9,7 Metern. Der Rittersaal im 1. Obergeschoss hatte eine Fläche von 13,4 Metern × 6,1 Metern. Der Haupteingang befand sich in der Nordfassade des Flügels. Durch Schießscharten kann dieser Eingang überwacht werden und unter dem Treppenhaus und in den Mauern des Turms befinden sich weitere Schießscharten. Geschichte Nach den Raubzügen des Clan Mackenzie 1602, bei denen auch Strome Castle niedergebrannt wurde, befestigten die MacDonnells of Glengarry den Creagan an Fhithich. Es kam dabei ein imposantes, sechsstöckiges Tower House mit L-förmigem Grundriss heraus. Nach der Clantradition wurde die Burg aus Steinen gebaut, die in einer Kette von Clanmitgliedern vom Berg Ben Tee von Hand zu Hand weitergereicht worden waren. 1654, im Englischen Bürgerkrieg, brannten die Truppen von Oliver Cromwell die Burg nieder. Anschließend wurde sie wieder repariert und war ab 1688 in den Händen von König Jakob VII. von Schottland. 1692 ergab sich die Garnison den Regierungstruppen von König Wilhelm III. und Königin Maria II. Beim Aufstand 1715 war sie in Händen der Jakobiten, wurde aber 1716 von Regierungstruppen eingenommen. Während des Aufstandes 1745 befand sie sich erneut in den Händen der Jakobiten. Bonnie Prince Charlie besuchte sie kurz nach dem Hissen der königlichen Standarte in Glenfinnan und soll auch 1746, nach seiner Niederlage in der Schlacht bei Culloden, dort gelagert haben. In der Folge dieser Schlacht wurde die Burg von Truppen unter der Führung des Duke of Cumberland als Teil einer systematischen Unterdrückung der Highlands geplündert und teilweise gesprengt. Aber die starken Mauern gaben nicht nach und sind bis heute als Zeugen ihrer Geschichte erhalten. Das Anwesen von Glengarry wurde von Aeneas Ranaldson McDonnell of Glengarry, dem Sohn von Alexander Ranaldson McDonnell of Glengarry (1771–1828), verkauft, als dieser volljährig wurde. Er behielt aber Invergarry Castle, Invergarry House, den „Brunnen der Köpfe“ und den alten Clanfriedhof. Sie fielen an Aeneas’ Tochter und von ihr an die Familie Erskine Cuninghame of Balgowie and Corrie. Diese überantwortete sie 1960 dem National Trust for Scotland. 1960 wurde Invergarry House als Glengarry Castle Hotel eröffnet. Es steht über dem Loch Oich und die Ruine von Invergarry Castle ist eine zusätzliche Attraktion auf dem Gelände. Invergarry Castle gilt als Scheduled Monument.

Inverness College

UHI Inverness (Scottish Gaelic: Colaiste Inbhir Nis) is one of the thirteen partners that make up the University of the Highlands and Islands, based in Inverness in the Highland council area of Scotland. A new main building at Inverness Campus was opened in August 2015, with most students and staff now located there. UHI Inverness has a second campus at The Scottish School of Forestry, based near Balloch. UHI Inverness is a tertiary organisation providing education to school pupils, and at further education, higher education and postgraduate levels, together with training for apprentices and a wide range of short courses for business. Student accommodation is also available on the new campus. It has more than 1,700 students studying towards degree courses. It is among the first Colleges in Scotland to deliver both Foundation and Graduate level Apprenticeships. New campus In May 2010 it was decided that the college would move to a new purpose-built site at the Beechwood farm, co-locating with the Scottish Agricultural College, the Centre for Health Science phase 4, and a training hotel operated by a partnership between the Calman Trust and Albyn Housing. This was completed in 2015 and includes facilities for private sector research & development, investors, student accommodation, sports facilities, a community and cultural centre within landscaped parkland. The 200-acre (0.81 km2) campus at Beechwood is just off the A9 south of Inverness. The principal of UHI at the time of the move, James Fraser, said: "This is a flagship development which will provide Inverness with a university campus and vibrant student life. It will have a major impact on the city and on the Highlands and Islands. UHI is a partnership of colleges and research centres throughout the region, and the development of any one partner brings strength to the whole institution." It was estimated that the new campus would contribute more than £50 million to the economy of the Highlands because it could attract innovative commercial businesses interested in research and development, while increasing the number of students who study within the city by around 3,000. The old college campus has seen been allocated for residential use. Governance In November 2012 Diane Rawlinson was appointed as Principal and Chief-executive, taking up the post in February 2013. In June 2017, the college's board of management appointed Christopher O'Neil to become principal in the following academic year. References External links Official website

Inverquharity Castle

Inverquharity Castle ist ein Tower House etwa 4,5 km nordöstlich des Dorfes Kirriemuir in der schottischen Council Area Angus. Das Gebäude aus dem 15. Jahrhundert steht in der Nähe des Flusses South Esk. Geschichte Das Gelände von Inverquharity gehört dem Clan Ogilvy seit etwa 1420. In den 1440er-Jahren wurde die Burg zunächst als Turm mit rechteckigem Grundriss für Alexander Ogilvy, 2. Lord of Inverquharity, errichtet. Im 16. Jahrhundert wurde ein Flügel angebaut, sodass ein vierstöckiges Tower House mit L-förmigem Grundriss entstand. 1445 eskalierte ein Streit zwischen Alexander Ogilvy und Alexander Lindsay dem Sohn von David Lindsay, 3. Earl of Crawford, aus dem nahegelegenen Finavon Castle und spitzte sich im Januar 1446 zur Schlacht von Arbroath zu, in der Ogilvy und der Earl zu Tode kamen. Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts verkaufte Sir John Ogilvy, 5. Baronet (1722–1802) das Tower House und der Seitenflügel wurde abgerissen. Bis in die 1960er-Jahre verfiel die Burg, wurde dann aber restauriert und der abgerissene Seitenflügel wieder aufgebaut. Das ursprüngliche Eisengitter aus dem 15. Jahrhundert ist immer noch an seiner Stelle. 2014 erstellte die BBC eine Dokumentation über den Verkauf der Burg durch den Besitzer, der sie restauriert und dort die vergangenen 40 Jahre gelebt hatte. Der Verkauf war 2012 erfolgt, und zwar zum Preis von 611.000 £. Heute Historic Scotland hat Inverquharity Castle als historisches Bauwerk der Kategorie A gelistet. Die Burg ist weiterhin in privater Hand.

Inverquharity Castle

Inverquharity Castle is a 15th-century tower house in Angus, Scotland. It lies around 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi) north-east of Kirriemuir near the River South Esk. History The lands of Inverquharity came to the Ogilvie family in around 1420. The castle was first constructed as a rectangular tower in the 1440s, by Alexander Ogilvie, 2nd Lord Inverquharity. In the 16th century, a wing was added to form a four-storey L-plan castle. In 1445, a dispute between Alexander Ogilvy of Inverquharity and the son of the Earl of Crawford from nearby Finavon Castle culminated in the Battle of Arbroath in which Ogilvy and the Earl were killed. In the late 18th century, the tower was sold by the 5th Ogilvy Baronet, and the wing demolished. The castle decayed until the 1960s, when it was restored and the wing rebuilt. The original 15th-century yett, or iron gate, is still in place. In 2014, a BBC documentary followed the sale of the castle from the owners who had restored and lived there for the previous 40 years. It sold in 2012 for £611,000 and this category A listed building remains a private family home. See also Kinnordy House References External links "Inverquharity Castle". Gazetteer for Scotland.

Castelo Inverquharity

O Castelo Inverquharity (em inglês: Inverquharity Castle) é uma casa-torre do século XV, situada em Angus, Escócia. Localiza-se a cerca de 4,5 quilómetros a nordeste de Kirriemuir, junto ao rio South Esk. História As terras de Inverquharity passaram para a família Ogilvie por volta de 1420. O castelo foi inicialmente construído como uma torre rectangular na década de 1440, por Alexander Ogilvie, 2.º Senhor de Inverquharity. No século XVI, foi adicionada uma ala, formando um castelo em planta em L de quatro pisos. Em 1445, uma disputa entre Alexander Ogilvy de Inverquharity e o filho do Conde de Crawford, do próximo Castelo Finavon, culminou na Batalha de Arbroath, na qual Ogilvy e o Conde foram mortos. No final do século XVIII, a torre foi vendida pelo 5.º Baronet Ogilvy, e a ala foi demolida. O castelo entrou em decadência até à década de 1960, quando foi restaurado e a ala reconstruída. O portão de ferro original do século XV permanece no local. Em 2014, um documentário da BBC acompanhou a venda do castelo pelos proprietários que o haviam restaurado e habitado durante os 40 anos anteriores. Foi vendido em 2012 por £611.000 libras e, este edifício, classificado como categoria A, continua a ser uma residência familiar privada.

Inverugie Castle

Inverugie Castle or Cheyne's Tower is the ruins of a motte-and-bailey castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is a scheduled monument. Location Inverugie Castle is located 2 miles (3.2 km) from Peterhead on the north-east coast. The ruins of the original motte (sometimes called Castle Hill) are a small mound only 3 metres (9.8 ft) high above the River Ugie. Remains of the walls of the later castle are slightly further south. History A defensive structure was first built at Inverugie by the Cheyne (Le Chen) family in the 13th or 14th century. Confusion can occur in historic records with Ravenscraig Castle, known as the Craig of Inverugie, which was also held by the Cheynes and is less than a mile away in a more defensible location, and also an even earlier coastal castle at the mouth of the River Ugie, visible until the late 19th century but now vanished. In 1345, following the death of Reginald le Chen, Baron Inverugie, the estate of Inverugie was passed onto the Keith Earl Marischals, who had their main seat at the coastal fortress of Dunnottar Castle (via marriage of Edward Keith and the heiress Marjory (or Mariot/Mariota), daughter of Reginald le Chen and Helen de Strathearn). Around 1660, the Keiths built what is the current, but now ruined, castle, lying south of the original wooden motte. Part of the building was referred to as Cheyne's Tower, so may have incorporated earlier masonry. In the 19th century, an oak heraldry shield was found in a local cottage with the arms of William Keith, 7th Earl Marischal and its date was carved as 1660. The Keith lands were forfeited after the Jacobite Rebellion and some time after 1745, the Inverugie estate passed from the Keiths to James Ferguson the third Laird of Pitfour who kept the building in a perfect state until he died in 1820. However, the fifth Laird stripped the castle of all the restoration undertaken and his successor worsened the state of neglect. In 1858, the castle was described as "a picturesque ruin, popular for picnics and pleasure parties". However, by 1890, the castle was in poor condition and was unable to withstand inclement weather. In April 1890, strong winds caused the collapse of some walls and the stair tower. It was declared unsafe by the Local Authority following further storms on New Years Day 1899. The estate factor, William Ainslie, probably acting under instruction from the Laird at that time, arranged to have much of what was left of the ruins blown up, weakening the remaining structure. Within a fortnight, little remained of the castle. Charles McKean described the castle as "a splendid double-courtyard Renaissance chateau [consisting] of a four-storey block with circular angle towers and a stair turret". William Burnes or William Burness (1721 – 1784), the father of Robert Burns the poet, was born at Clochnahill Farm, Dunnottar, and trained as a gardener at Inverugie Castle, before moving to Ayrshire.

Castelo Inverugie

O Castelo Inverugie (em inglês: Inverugie Castle), ou Torre de Cheyne, constitui as ruínas de um castelo do tipo mota situado em Aberdeenshire, na Escócia. Trata-se de um monumento marcado. Localização O Castelo Inverugie situa-se a cerca de 3,2 quilómetros de Peterhead, na costa nordeste. As ruínas consistem num pequeno outeiro que se eleva cerca de 3 metros acima do rio Ugie. História Uma estrutura defensiva foi inicialmente erguida em Inverugie pela família Cheyne (Le Chen) nos séculos XIII ou XIV. Em 1345, na sequência da morte de Reginald le Chen, Barão de Inverugie, a propriedade de Inverugie passou para os Keith, Condes-Marechais (Earls Marischal), que tinham a sua principal residência na fortaleza costeira do Castelo de Dunnottar, por via do casamento de Edward Keith com a herdeira Marjory, filha de Reginald le Chen e de Helen de Strathearn. Cerca de 1660, os Keith edificaram o castelo atualmente existente, embora hoje em ruínas, situado a sul da mota original em madeira. No século XIX, foi encontrado numa casa de campo local um escudo heráldico em carvalho com as armas de William Keith, 7.º Conde-Marechal, no qual se encontrava gravada a data de 1660. As terras dos Keith foram confiscadas após a Rebelião Jacobita e, algum tempo depois de 1745, a propriedade de Inverugie passou dos Keith para James Ferguson, terceiro Laird de Pitfour, que manteve o edifício em perfeito estado até à sua morte, em 1820. Contudo, o quinto Laird desmantelou todas as obras de restauro realizadas, e o seu sucessor agravou ainda mais o estado de abandono. Por volta de 1890, o castelo encontrava-se em mau estado de conservação e já não resistia às intempéries. Em abril desse ano, ventos fortes provocaram o colapso de algumas muralhas e da torre da escadaria. Após novas tempestades no Dia de Ano Novo de 1899, foi declarado inseguro pela autoridade local. O administrador da propriedade (estate factor), William Ainslie, provavelmente agindo sob instruções do Laird então em funções, mandou fazer explodir grande parte do que restava das ruínas, enfraquecendo a estrutura remanescente. No espaço de uma quinzena, pouco restava do castelo. Charles McKean descreveu o castelo como “um esplêndido château renascentista de duplo pátio, composto por um corpo principal de quatro pisos com torres circulares nos ângulos e uma torre de escadas”. William Burnes ou William Burness (1721–1784), pai do poeta Robert Burns, nasceu na quinta de Clochnahill, em Dunnottar, e recebeu formação como jardineiro no Castelo Inverugie, antes de se mudar para Ayrshire.

Seil (Saoil en gaèlic) és una petita illa del grup de les Slate, situada al nord-oest d'Escòcia. L'illa es troba al Fiord de Lorn, a 11 km al sud-oest d'Oban. Des del 1792, Seil es troba unida al "continent" a través del Pont Clachan (Clachan Bridge), que fou construït per l'enginyer Robert Mylne. Aquest pont és conegut com El pont sobre l'Atlàntic i avui encara es fa servir; a principis d'estiu es cobreix de didaleres. L'assentament principal a Seil és Ellenabeich, on es filmaren algunes escenes de la pel·lícula Ring of Bright Water.
Seil (Schottland)

Seil (schottisch-gälisch Saoil) ist eine Insel der Inneren Hebriden. Sie gehört zu den Slate Islands (deutsch „Schieferinseln“) und zur Council Area Argyll and Bute. Die Insel, die etwa elf Kilometer südlich der Stadt Oban liegt, hat eine Fläche von 13,29 km². Im Jahre 2011 lebten rund 551 Einwohner auf Seil. Die Clachan Bridge (auch Brücke über den Atlantik), die vom Ingenieur und Architekten Robert Mylne geplant wurde, verbindet seit ihrer Eröffnung im Jahre 1792 das schottische Festland mit der Insel. Sie steht unter Denkmalschutz und gilt als die größte Attraktion der Insel. Der Hauptort der Insel ist Ellenabeich. Von dort gibt es eine Fährverbindung nach Easdale. Vom Ort Cuan auf Seil fährt eine weitere Fähre zur Insel Luing, die sich südlich von Seil befindet. In Ellenabeich wurde im Jahre 2000 das Ellenabeich Heritage Centre eröffnet, das sich mit dem Leben im 19. Jahrhundert, dem Schieferabbau sowie der örtlichen Flora, Fauna und Geologie beschäftigt. Seit Januar 2011 erhält die Isle of Seil keine Förderungen als subventionsberechtigte Insel von den schottischen Behörden mehr, da die Clachan Bridge das Gebiet mit dem schottischen Festland verbindet. Seitdem muss die Insel auf wichtige Subventionen für Fährnutzung, Müllabfuhr und Versorgung verzichten. An Cala ist ein in den frühen 1930er Jahren von Thomas Hayton Mawson (1861–1933) entworfener, zwischen den felsigen Klippen und dem Meer versteckter öffentlicher „Walled Garden“ (ummauerter Garten).

Seil

Seil (in scozzese: Saoil) è una piccola isola ad est del Firth of Lorn, nell'arcipelago delle Ebridi interne, a circa 7 chilometri da Oban, in Scozia. Costituisce il sottogruppo delle isole Slate. Seil sin dal 1792 è stata collegata alla terraferma attraverso il Clachan Bridge, costruito dall'ingegnere Robert Mylne. Conosciuto anche col nome di Ponte sull'Atlantico, il ponte è ancora oggi utilizzato ed in estate si presenta ricoperto da moltissimi fiori viola (Erinus alpinus) che lo rendono caratteristico per il paesaggio dell'area. Il principale insediamento dell'isola di Seil è il villaggio di Ellenabeich, dove sono state girate alcune parti del film Ring of Bright Water. Il luogo è noto anche a livello geologico in quanto sino al XIX secolo è stato utilizzato anche come cava di pietre. Un altro villaggio dell'isola è Balvicar. Dei battelli salpano da Ellenabeich verso Easdale, e da Cuan verso l'isola di Luing. L'isola è ricca anche di animali selvatici che la popolano come l'Aquila chrysaetos e l'Haliaeetus albicilla. L'isola è divenuta famosa per essere stata per lungo tempo residenza di Frances Shand Kydd, madre della principessa Diana del Galles.
