Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow

Das Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow (RCPSG) ist ein Institut für Ärzte und Chirurgen in Glasgow. Es wurde mit königlicher Bewilligung durch Jakob VI. 1599 von Peter Lowe gegründet worden. Schon damals diente es der Ausbildung von Ärzten, Chirurgen und Zahnärzten, anfangs bis 1722 auch von Apothekern und Barbieren. 1909 erhielt es den Zusatz Royal. Früher wurde eine Basis-Qualifikation als Mediziner vom RCPSG angeboten, das Lizenziat (LRCPS oder LRCPSG). Heute werden dort nur noch Prüfungen für die Facharztqualifikation angeboten, in erster Linie die Mitgliedschaft und die Fellowship des RCPSG sowie spezialisierte Diplome. Mitgliedschaft und Fellowship entsprechen ähnlichen Qualifikationen des Royal College of Surgeons of England, des Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, des Royal College of Physicians und des Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. Im Gegensatz zu den Partnerorganisationen in England und Edinburgh sind Ärzte und Chirurgen nicht getrennt. Sitz ist die St. Vincent Street in Glasgow. Weblinks Homepage des RCPSG

East Linga

East Linga is one of the Shetland Islands. It lies between Whalsay (to the west), and Grif Skerry to the east. Geography and geology The bed rock is gneiss with granite veins. There are many skerries and rocks in the channel south of Whalsay and East Linga, some of which have disputed names, i.e. one local version, and a different one on Admiralty Charts and/or Ordnance Survey maps. For example, "Muckla Billan" is listed on the latter, but is known locally as "Peerie Fladdacap". In December 2008 the corpses of eighteen grey seals were discovered on the island, some of them apparently clubbed to death. Police have charged a forty-seven-year-old man in connection with the discovery. According to Scottish Natural Heritage, about thirty grey seals are born on East Linga each year. The smaller Calf of Linga lies to the north and is connected to East Linga at low tide. West Linga lies on the other side of Whalsay.

Festival Theatre

Festival Theatre (dříve Empire Palace Theatre a Empire Theatre) je budova v Edinburghu ve Spojeném království. Již od roku 1830 se na jejím místě nacházela divadla, to současné bylo postaveno podle návrhu architekta Franka Matchama a otevřeno 7. listopadu 1892 pod názvem Empire Palace Theatre. Původní kapacita byla 3000 návštěvníků. Dne 9. května 1911 došlo při představení v divadle k požáru, všichni návštěvníci stihli budovu opustit, lidé ze zákulisí však nikoliv; zemřel mj. Sigmund Neuberger (The Great Lafayette). Po třech měsících došlo ke znovuotevření divadla. Od 70. let divadlo neslo zkrácený název Empire Theatre. V první polovině 90. let došlo k rekonstrukci, čelní strana byla nahrazena prosklenou konstrukcí a v červnu 1994 došlo ke znovuotevření divadla pod novým názvem Festival Theatre s kapacitou 1915 sedících návštěvníků. V průběhu let v divadle vystupovali například David Bowie, John Cale, John Mayall, Van Morrison a Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

Forewick Holm

Forewick Holm és una illa de prop d'una hectàrea situada a les illes Shetland, a Escòcia. Es troba entre Papa Stour i la península de Sadness. Des del 2008, l'illa s'ha relacionat amb la batalla política al voltant de la seva sobirania, liderada pel capità Stuart Hill, promulgador i defensor de Forvik com a dependència de la corona, independent del Regne Unit. L'illa es troba uns 200 metres al sud del cap de Forewick Ness, a Papa Stour, i 15 quilòmetres al nord de Melby, a la península de Sadness. Un petit illot, anomenat Scarf's Head és accessible des de Forewick Holm durant la baixamar. El nom oficial de l'illa, Forewick Holm, està compost pels termes anglicitzats Fore (del noruec får, ovella), wick (del nòrdic vik, badia) i Holm, un nom comú a les Òrcades o les Shetland, per a referir-se a illes petites i rodones. Notes
Forewick Holm

Forewick Holm is a 1-hectare (2.5-acre) island in the Sound of Papa, between Papa Stour and the Mainland of Shetland. It lies adjacent to a skerry called Scarf's Head, and the two are connected at low tide. Forewick Holm has gained notoriety through its association with Stuart "Captain Calamity" Hill, who claims that the island is a sovereign micronation named "Forvik". The Forvik project's stated purpose is to show Shetlanders what they could achieve if they asserted their legal rights and seceded from the United Kingdom. History The SS Highcliffe was wrecked on the island on 6 February 1940. It was carrying a cargo of iron ore from Narvik, bound for Immingham. Forvik In 2001, Stuart Hill, a native of Essex, shipwrecked on the island during a failed attempt to circumnavigate the British Isles, earning him the nickname "Captain Calamity". He subsequently settled in Shetland and became an advocate for the islands' independence. His attempts did not degree any sizable public interest. Hill argues that Shetland was never formally ceded to Scotland or Great Britain, making the British government's exercise of sovereignty over the islands illegal. In order to draw attention to his cause, he acquired the islet of Forewick Holm and, on 21 June 2008, declared it to be an autonomous Crown dependency known as "Forvik". The declaration invited Shetlanders to add their own properties to the dependency in order to create a new federation "free of liars, thieves and tyrants in government". On 23 February 2011, Hill issued a further declaration stating that Forvik had severed its ties to the Crown and become a fully independent state known as the "Sovereign State of Forvik". Hill's right to Forewick Holm has been contested by Mark King, the island's original owner. Hill claims to have a signed, witnessed document confirming King's intention to donate the island to him, but King says that he signed this during a manic episode and that the land registry still lists him as the owner. In 2008, Hill began working on an "official residence" on the island, its first permanent structure. He also laid claim to the surrounding seabed and invited companies to bid for oil exploration rights. "Citizenships" were made available for purchase, costing between one and five Forvik guldens (i.e. £60 to £360). Membership was later set at £20 per annum, and in 2015 Hill claimed there were 218 members. Hill travelled to and from the island on a flat-bottomed plywood boat of his own creation. In September 2008, he had to be rescued by a Coastguard helicopter and RNLI lifeboat after his vessel began to sink. His boat was described as "ramshackle" and a "floating wardrobe", and his rescuers criticised him for having no lifejacket or radio aboard. Hill has refused to pay road tax or insurance to the British government, instead creating documents issued by Forvik. In 2011, he was found guilty of driving offences arising from this.

Eildon Hill

Eildon Hill (prononcé en anglais : /ˈiːldən hɪl/) est une colline qui se situe au sud de Melrose dans les Scottish Borders en Écosse. Elle comporte trois pics. Le plus au nord est entouré de 5 km de remparts, délimitant une zone de 16 ha dans laquelle au moins trois cents plateformes ont été taillées dans la roche pour servir de base à des maisons de gazon ou de bois. Des fouilles ont mis au jour des preuves que le castrum était occupé 1 000 ans av. J.-C., à l'âge du bronze. Les remparts semblent avoir été bâtis et rebâtis en trois phases. À son apogée, la population du castrum a été de 3 000 à 6 000 habitants, le plus grand connu en Écosse à cette période. Alors qu'aucune preuve d'une population significative lors de la période pré-romaine n'a été trouvée, le géographe romain Ptolémée a enregistré la tribu dans la zone comme celle de Selgovae. Étymologiquement, il existe deux hypothèses traditionnelles pour expliquer l'origine du nom de Eildon. Selon la première, Eildon pourrait venir du gaélique : aill (rocher) et dun (colline). La seconde hypothèse indique qu'il pourrait s'agir d'une altération du gallois inoeldun (colline nue, colline pelée). Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) a évoqué ce lieu à plusieurs reprises dans les annexes de la préface générale du roman Waverley. Sa résidence Abbotsford, à Galashiels, est située à proximité.

Eilean Bàn

Eilean Bàn (Scottish Gaelic meaning White Island) is a six-acre (2.4 ha) island between Kyle of Lochalsh and the Isle of Skye, in the historic county of Ross and Cromarty in the Highland local government area. The Skye Bridge uses the island as a stepping-stone as it crosses the mouth of Loch Alsh from the mainland to Skye. Eilean Bàn was the last home of the author of Ring of Bright Water, Gavin Maxwell. He moved here after his home at Sandaig, which he called Camusfeàrna in his books, was destroyed by fire in 1968. He invited John Lister-Kaye to join him on the island to help build a zoo and work on a book about British wild animals. Both of these had to be abandoned after Maxwell's death in 1969. Lister-Kaye wrote his account of working with Maxwell in his book, The White Island. Since 1998 the island has been owned by the Eilean Bàn Trust who run it as a nature reserve and holiday lets. In 2001 the island had a population of two as recorded by the census but in 2011 there were no "usual residents" living there. Kyleakin Lighthouse Kyleakin Lighthouse is situated at the south-western end of Eilean Bàn. It was built by David and Thomas Stevenson in 1857, and is linked to a pair of keepers' houses. The lighthouse was automated and converted to use acetylene gas in 1960. Following the start of construction of the Skye Bridge, the lighthouse was decommissioned in 1993. It is a Category B listed building. See also List of lighthouses in Scotland List of Northern Lighthouse Board lighthouses References External links Eilean Bàn Trust Northern Lighthouse Board

Eilean Bàn

Eilean Bàn (che in lingua gaelica scozzese significa isola bianca) è un'isola di circa 24.000 m² situata al largo della terraferma scozzese, tra Kyle of Lochalsh e l'isola di Skye, nelle Highland. L'isola sostiene parte del ponte di Skye, che attraversa la foce del Loch Alsh dalla terraferma a Skye. Eilean Bàn fu residenza di John Lister-Kaye, che scrisse il suo romanzo The White Island relativo al tempo passato sull'isola, lavorando per Gavin Maxwell. Il faro di Kyleakin si trova al margine sud-occidentale dell'isola. Fu costruito da David e Thomas Stevenson nel 1857, ed è collegato a un paio di abitazioni per gli operatori. Il faro fu automatizzato e convertito all'acetilene nel 1960; a seguito dell'inizio della costruzione del ponte di Skye, il faro fu dismesso nel 1993. Si tratta di un monumento classificato di categoria B. Nel 2001 l'isola aveva una popolazione di due persone, registrate nel censimento; nel 2011 tuttavia non vi erano "residenti abituali" che vi vivevano.

Eilean Chathastail

Eilean Chathastail (Eng: Castle Island) is one of the Small Isles in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. Geography Eilean Chathastail protects the only harbour on Eigg at Galmisdale. It is roughly 1 kilometre (1,100 yd) in length and lies only 100 metres (110 yd) off the south-east coast of the island of Eigg. Eigg lighthouse was built on the island in 1906 by brothers David A. and Charles Alexander Stevenson. History In July 1884 the geologist and writer Hugh Miller arrived at the Eilean Chathastail anchorage on board the yacht Betsey. He had just begun his journey at Tobermory and he produced a diary of his travels in the Hebrides for the newspaper Witness, of which he was the editor. His contributions were later collated and published as The Cruise of the Betsey in 1856. He wrote that: "We passed the Isle of Muck, with its one low hill; saw the pyramidal mountains of Rum looming tall in the offing; and then, running along the Isle of Eigg, with its colossal Scuir rising between us and the sky, as if it were a piece of Babylonian wall, or the great wall of China, only vastly larger, set down on the ridge of a mountain, we entered the channel which separates the isle from one of its dependencies, Eilean Chathastail, and cast anchor in the tideway." Robert Lawrie Thomson, a former laird of Eigg, is buried at the southern end of Eilean Chathastail. This is marked by a burial enclosure on Maol an Eilean, the island's highest point.

Eilean Rìgh

Eilean Rìgh is an island in the Inner Hebrides of the west coast of Scotland. It lies in Loch Craignish, about 300 metres (1⁄8 mile) off the Argyll coastline. The name is Gaelic for "King's Island", although which royal is not known. History The island has the remains of two Iron Age forts. In the 1930s, the island was home to Sir Reginald Johnston, retired tutor to Puyi, the last Chinese emperor. Johnston modernised the houses, built a Buddhist temple, and even flew the flag of Manchukuo in the Chinese-style gardens. Chinese servants lived in the farmhouse. In the multiple Oscar winning film by Bernardo Bertolucci The Last Emperor, Johnston was portrayed by Peter O'Toole. The property was purchased by a retired Indian army officer, Major Campbell, who lived in it with his family until the outbreak of the Second World War; Campbell believed that a German submarine had entered the loch during the First World War and had caught sheep. In 1959 it was purchased by Wilfred Brown and his cousin Robert Banks Skinner. They believed that in the future the UK would become crowded and the island would be a place for some privacy, but it was largely used as a holiday home. In 1992 it was sold to James Waldegrave, Viscount Chewton. The current owner is a Scottish-based ex-financier, Christian Siva-Jothy, who bought the island from Viscount Chewton in 1998. He substantially renovated the properties on it, installing mains electrics via an undersea power cable, a new fresh water well and telecoms via a microwave link. The island was for sale from 2013 for over a year but was taken off the market early in 2015 when Siva-Jothy sold his estate in the north of Scotland and moved back to live permanently on Eilean Righ. Siva-Jothy and his wife—who studied Mandarin at SOAS, where Johnston had been the first professor of Chinese—now reside full-time on the island. Footnotes External links
