Alloa Inch

Inch or Alloa Inch (Scottish Gaelic: innis, island) is an island in the tidal reaches of the River Forth near Alloa, just before the river opens out into the Firth of Forth. There is a derelict farmhouse on the island, as the land was farmed in the past. Due to subsidence caused by nearby coal mining, flood defences were breached. The land now consists of reed beds and salt marshes. The Scottish Wildlife Trust has managed the island as a reserve since 1996. The smaller islet of Tullibody Inch lies just upstream. Footnotes

Alloa Tower

Der Alloa Tower ist ein Tower House in der schottischen Stadt Alloa in der Council Area Clackmannanshire. 1960 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Kategorie A aufgenommen. Im gleichen Jahr übernahm der National Trust for Scotland das Objekt. Ein ehemaliger Schutz als Scheduled Monument wurde zwischenzeitlich aufgehoben. Das 21 m hohe, fünfstöckige Gebäude liegt im Süden Alloas und weist eine Grundfläche von rund 18 m × 12 m auf. Geschichte Die Geschichte von Alloa Tower gliedert sich in mehrere Phasen. Als ältestes bekanntes Bauwerk ist ein befestigtes Gebäude aus dem frühen 14. Jahrhundert an diesem Ort bekannt, über welches jedoch wenig überliefert ist. Mitte des Jahrhunderts wurde dieses zu einem dreistöckigen Gebäude mit Keller oder Kerker erweitert. Eine weitere Aufstockung auf vier oder fünf Stockwerke wurde im 15. Jahrhundert vorgenommen. Das erste Tower house, auf dem die heute erhaltene Struktur beruht, entstand im Jahre 1497. Es handelt sich um ein fünfstöckiges Bauwerk mit Keller oder Kerker. Im späten 16. Jahrhundert wurde das Bauwerk überarbeitet und war wahrscheinlich ab diesem Zeitpunkt sowohl ebenerdig als auch im ersten Obergeschoss zugänglich. Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts entstand angrenzend ein Herrenhaus und der Wohnturm wurde fortan nur noch als Nebengebäude genutzt. Im Zuge dieser Erweiterung durch John Erskine, 24. Earl of Mar wurde auch der Wohnturm umfassend umgestaltet. Ein Brand verheerte das Herrenhaus im Jahre 1800 und der Alloa Tower wurde bis zur Fertigstellung des neuen Herrenhauses im Jahre 1838 wieder bewohnt. Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde der Turm restauriert und 1997 zur 500-Jahr-Feier wiedereröffnet. Im Jahr 2024 betrug die Besucherzahl etwa 4.000 Personen.

Torre de Alloa

La torre del castillo de Alloa se encuentra en la localidad escocesa de Alloa, en Clackmannanshire, en el Reino Unido. Se trata de la torre que queda en pie de la residencia medieval del Clan Erskine, Condes de Mar. Es administrada por el National Trust for Scotland.​ Construida en alrededor de 1368 para controlar el antiguo transbordador del río Forth,​ el edificio fue ampliamente reformado durante su historia, pero aún conserva algunos aspectos medievales. Desde el siglo XVII se le fueron añadiendo otros edificios, ahora desaparecidos. En ruinas hasta 1988, la torre fue restaurada y abierta al público en 1996.​ Las obras de restauración consistían en recuperar su aspecto probable en 1712, tras las importantes obras realizadas por el sexto conde. Estas incluyen la gran escalinata de estilo italiano.​ Referencias Enlaces externos Wikimedia Commons alberga una categoría multimedia sobre Torre de Alloa.

Alloway Auld Kirk

Die Alloway Auld Kirk ist eine Kirchenruine in der schottischen Stadt Alloway in der Council Area South Ayrshire. Die Kirchenruine ist als Scheduled Monument klassifiziert. Geschichte Erstmals wurde eine Kirche an diesem Standort in einer Charta des schottischen Königs Alexander II. aus dem Jahre 1236 erwähnt. Die Ursprünge des heutigen Gebäudes gehen wahrscheinlich auf das Jahr 1516 zurück als eine Kirche errichtet wurde. Man geht jedoch davon aus, dass das Gebäude im Jahre 1653 nahezu vollständig neu aufgebaut wurde. Die ehemals eigenständige Kirchengemeinde wurde 1690 an die der Auld Kirk of Ayr angegliedert. In den 1740er Jahren wurde die Alloway Auld Kirk zusätzlich als Schulgebäude genutzt. Das Geburtshaus des Dichters Robert Burns (Burns Cottage) liegt unweit der Kirche. Burns Vater William (verstorben 1784) liegt auf dem Kirchhof begraben. In den 1790er Jahren wird das Gebäude bereits als Ruine beschrieben. Der schaurige Anblick inspirierte Robert Burns die Kirche in seinem wohl bekanntesten Gedicht Tam o’ Shanter als Spukkirche zu beschreiben („Da sieht er schimmernd durch das Grau; Kirk-Alloway, den alten Bau; Er strahlt im vollen Lichterglanze; Und d’rinnen lärmt’s von wildem Tanze“). Beschreibung Das Gebäude liegt an einer Ausfallstraße am Südrand von Alloway. Der längliche Bruchsteinbau weist eine Innenfläche von 12,2 m × 6,1 m auf. Er schloss mit einem Satteldach ab, das heute nicht mehr vorhanden ist. Das Rundbogenportal befindet sich rechts an der nordexponierten Seite. Etwa mittig befindet sich eine quadratische Fensteröffnung. Eine weiter links befindliche Öffnung wurde mit Mauerwerk verschlossen. Ein weiterer Eingang ist an der Südseite zu finden. Rechts von diesem ist ein schmales längliches Fenster eingelassen. Auf dem Giebel oberhalb des Lanzettzwillingsfensters an der Ostseite sitzt ein Dachreiter mit Geläut auf. Im Inneren befinden sich eiserne Grabplatten und Grabsteine.

Alloway Auld Kirk

The Alloway Auld Kirk, which dates back to the 16th century, is a church ruin in Alloway, South Ayrshire, Scotland, celebrated as the scene of the witches' dance in the poem "Tam o' Shanter" by Robert Burns. Robert Burns William Burnes, father of the poet, is buried in the graveyard together with his daughter Isabella as well as two of his nieces. Alloway was where he and his wife had first raised their family before moving to Mount Oliphant and Lochlea, and William had attempted to maintain the grounds of the Kirk, which was already a ruin at the time. The original memorial stone has eroded and the present-day stone differs in wording, memorializing both of Burns's parents, and includes an epitaph the poet wrote for his father. Burns's sister, Isabella Burns Begg, is also buried in the Kirkyard, along with other notable figures such as David Cathcart, Lord Alloway. Robert Burns presented his friend John Richmond with a silver mounted snuffbox made with wood taken from the rafters of the Auld Alloway Kirk. The snuffbox bears the inscription; A David Auld removed the remaining rafters and used them to make chairs and other souvenirs, making a considerable profit from the sales. Restoration and conservation Following restoration work, the Kirk and graveyard were reopened to the public by Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond in April 2008. The church itself is a scheduled monument and the churchyard a Category B listed building.

Almond Aqueduct

Der Almond Aqueduct ist eine Kanalbrücke in Schottland. Er liegt auf der Grenze der Council Areas West Lothian und Edinburgh. 1971 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Kategorie A aufgenommen. Die Bogenbrücke ist nicht mit dem nur wenige Kilometer entfernten, ebenfalls denkmalgeschützten Almondell Aqueduct zu verwechseln. Beschreibung Die Kanalbrücke wurde zur Überführung des Union Canal über den Almond benötigt. Der Bau nach einem Entwurf des Ingenieurs Hugh Baird wurde im Jahre 1820 begonnen und zwei Jahre später abgeschlossen. Die Konstruktion orientiert sich an einer ähnlichen Brücke von Thomas Telford am Ellesmere Canal. Telford selbst nahm eine beratende Funktion ein. Der Kanalbrücke ist als Bogenbrücke konzipiert und überspannt den Fluss in fünf Segmentbögen. Bairds ursprünglicher Entwurf sah eine einbögige Konstruktion vor. Man entschied sich jedoch später für eine etablierte Bauweise mit mehreren Bögen. Das Bauwerk besteht aus Quadersteinen, welche zu einem Bossenwerk verbaut wurden. Mittig ist eine Schleuse eingerichtet, welche das Ablassen überschüssigen Wassers in den darunterliegenden Almond ermöglicht. Als Brüstung dient ein stählernes Geländer.

Almond Aqueduct

The Almond Aqueduct, also known as the Lin's Mill Aqueduct, is a navigable aqueduct that carries the Union Canal over the River Almond in Scotland, west of Ratho, Edinburgh. History The aqueduct was built to a design by Hugh Baird, with advice from Thomas Telford, in tandem with the Slateford Aqueduct and Avon Aqueduct, with which it shares its design. Baird had originally proposed to have only a single span, with embankments carrying the canal the rest of the way, but eventually decided to use the same design as the other two aqueducts. Telford was not convinced that the stone arches were necessary in conjunction with the iron trough, but Baird used both on all three major aqueducts. Construction was carried out by Messrs. Craven, Whitaker and Nowell between 1819 and 1821, their success in building a stone bridge over the River Ouse making their tender for the contract "by far the most eligible." In 1970 it was designated as a scheduled monument and in 1971 it was given Category A status, being individually listed for each local authority (the river denotes the boundary between West Lothian and Edinburgh). In 2003 the Union Canal became a scheduled monument thus causing the aqueduct to be scheduled twice and leading to the original designation being removed in 2019. Design The Barton Aqueduct of 1761, and subsequent canal aqueducts in the United Kingdom, used large quantities of masonry and puddling to obtain watertightness. After the success of The Iron Bridge in 1789, however, cast iron was used by Telford on aqueducts such as Chirk and Pontcysyllte. Aqueducts built in the early part of the 19th century use either puddle clay or an iron trough in no particular pattern. The Almond Aqueduct uses an iron trough to achieve watertightness, as well as containing the outward pressure of the water, allowing it to be of more slender construction than a purely stone aqueduct such as the Kelvin Aqueduct. Measuring 420 feet (130 m) long, it carries the Union Canal 76 feet (23 m) above the River Almond, from Edinburgh into West Lothian. A sluice into the Almond allows regulation of the water level in the canal, and near to the aqueduct is a feeder from Cobbinshaw Reservoir. The aqueduct can be reached by car by way of a track and by walkers and cyclists on the Union Canal towpath.

Almondell and Calderwood Country Park

Almondell and Calderwood Country Park is a 220-acre (0.89 km2) Country Park in Mid Calder and East Calder in West Lothian, Scotland. It is a 4 star Visitor Attraction (Visitscotland). The Park is split into two main areas, Almondell Park which comprises the Almondell estate which originally belonged to the Erskine family of Broxburn and the Calderwood estate which once belonged to the Barons of Torphichen. History Almondell House and its estate dates to the 18th century. The House was erected in 1786, designed by its owner Henry Erksine, a lawyer. The house was the historic home of the Earls of Buchan (it is now Newnham House in England). Almondell House was demolished in 1969. The coach house and stable buildings of the house were converted into a visitor centre when the country park opened in the 1970s. The Park also contains the Nasmyth Bridge, spanning over the Almond from the East Calder entrance. The bridge was originally constructed in 1810 to a design by Alexander Nasmyth. It was later completely restored in 1997/1998 following its partial collapse in 1973. The Almondell Viaduct, also known as the Camps Viaduct, in the park, was built in 1885 to carry an industrial railway over the River Almond between Pumpherston and East Calder. The railway is now disused but the viaduct is in use as a path in the park. Near to the viaduct is the Canal Feeder Aqueduct, a replica of the famous Iron Bridge in Shropshire. It carries water through a cast-iron trough to the Union Canal at Lin's Mill (Almond Aqueduct). A pedestrian suspension bridge was built in the park in 1970. It was renamed the Nelson Mandela Bridge in 1985. Facilities and layout The Almondell Estate follows the line of the River Almond, with paths and trails crisscrossing the river over a variety of bridges. It is a popular location with walkers and families. The Calderwood Estate nearby has paths and trails to explore. The two estates are separated by Mid Calder town centre but are linked together by a path following the line of the Murieston Water. The Park is served with ample space for visitors’ cars, served by four main car parks. These are situated near Broxburn, Livingston, Mid Calder and East Calder. The North car park is closest to the Visitor Centre (EH52 5PE) which is housed in the former stable block of the Almondell Estate, vending drinks/snacks/gifts, aquarium. exhibition room and function room facilities, Countryside Ranger Service. There are many woodland and riverside walks, BBQ hire, toilet facilities and children's play area.

Alva Academy

Alva Academy is a six-year comprehensive school serving the towns and villages of Alva, Menstrie, Tillicoultry, Coalsnaughton, Devonside, Dollar and Muckhart, all in Clackmannanshire, Scotland. The roll is over 900. It has six associated primaries - Alva, Menstrie, Tillicoultry, Coalsnaughton, Strathdevon and Muckhart. History The original Alva Academy was established in the 1860s by public subscriptions from residents of the town to overcome the shortcomings of educational provision. Educational change and a constantly rising school roll forced regular change to meet growing demands. The advent of comprehensive education in 1967/68 saw the linking of Tillicoultry and Alva Schools into a six-year comprehensive. Following a Clackmannanshire Council decision in 1997 to integrate pupils with Moderate Learning Difficulties into a mainstream secondary school, Alva Academy was chosen as the location for this development. MLD pupils in S3 to S6 experience a full and varied curriculum which is integrated with mainstream subjects at appropriate levels. Notable former pupils Adam Ashe - Rugby union coach and former player for Glasgow Warriors and Scotland Jamie Bhatti - Rugby union player for Glasgow Warriors and Scotland Robert Curran (Scottish politician) - who was youngest Provost in Scotland, and the first SNP provost Megan Kennedy - Rugby player for Stirling County RFC and Scotland women's national rugby union team Callumn Morrison - Professional footballer Shona Robison - politician, who has served as Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government Ronnie (George) Woodward - Reform UK candidate and Leader of the Council for Newton le Willows - East Findlay Currie - Assurance engineer and badminton player Notable former staff Gregor Abel Former professional footballer and manager Sources Alva Academy Alva Academy's page on Scottish Schools Online References
