Bedlay Castle

Bedlay Castle, auch Bedley Castle oder Bedlay House, ist ein Schloss in der schottischen Stadt Chryston in der Council Area North Lanarkshire. Es liegt östlich der Stadt in einem kleinen Wäldchen. 1971 wurde Bedlay Castle in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Kategorie A aufgenommen. Zusammen mit den Außengebäuden auf den umliegenden Ländereien bildet Bedlay Castle außerdem ein Denkmalensemble der Kategorie B. Geschichte Die ältesten Teile von Bedlay Castle stammen aus der Zeit nach der christlichen Reformation in Schottland, also dem letzten Viertel des 16. Jahrhunderts. Bauherr war der 4. Lord Boyd of Kilmarnock. Im Jahre 1642 ging das Anwesen in den Besitz des Juristen James Roberton über. Dieser ließ Bedlay Castle im 17. Jahrhundert beträchtlich erweitern. Das Anwesen wurde über mehrere Generationen innerhalb der Familie vererbt und ist bis heute bewohnt. Im Laufe der Jahre änderte sich auch die Bezeichnung des Schlosses. Wurde früher eher von Bedlay House gesprochen, wird seit dem 20. Jahrhundert Bedlay Castle bevorzugt. Beschreibung Die dem 16. Jahrhundert entstammenden Teile von Bedlay Castle machen heute den Ostteil aus. Hierzu gehört der quadratische Treppenturm, der an der Nordostkante hervorspringt und das ansonsten zweistöckige Gebäude überragt. Der im 17. Jahrhundert entstandene Westteil schließt mit zwei runden Türmen an den Gebäudeecken ab. Das Haupthaus besitzt ausgebaute Mansarden. Um 1860 wurde Bedlay Castle umgebaut und insbesondere im Inneren an die Viktorianische Architektur angepasst. Hierbei wurden viele der Fensteröffnungen vergrößert.

Castelo Bedlay

O Castelo Bedlay (em inglês: Bedlay Castle) é um castelo do século XVI localizado em Cadder, North Ayrshire, Escócia. História A estrutura original foi construída pelo 4º Lorde James Boyd de Kilmarnock, que adquiriu as terras após a Reforma Protestante. Em 1642, a propriedade passou para a família Robertson que o acrescentaram, estando atualmente ocupado e em bom estado de conservação. As terras de Bedlay passaram para os Robertons, como afirma McGibbon e Ross em 1887, Salter em 1993 e Tranter em 1935, contudo Tranter em 1962-5 usa o termo 'Robertson' em vez de 'Roberton'. Encontra-se classificado na categoria "A" do "listed building" desde 14 de abril de 1971. Em maio de 2007, o castelo foi posto à venda. Estrutura O castelo foi construído em dois períodos diferentes; a seção este com a torre datada do último quarto do século XVI; a seção oeste com duas torres, foi construída cerca de 100 anos depois. A casa principal possui dois pisos, sendo que as janelas foram alargadas. Foi remodelado em 1860. Ver também Lista de castelos da Escócia Referências
Beecraigs

Beecraigs is a country park in West Lothian, approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) south of the town of Linlithgow and 3 miles (4.8 km) north-east of Bathgate and is a 4 star Visitor Attraction (Visitscotland). The Park comprises around 913 acres (369 ha) of upland forest, woodland and open country, and offers a range of amenities including walks & trails, play area, skills area & mountain bike trails, BBQ hire, caravan & camping site including 2 lodges (4 star Touring Park by VisitScotland and 4 pennant Gold award by the AA), Countryside Ranger Service, animal attraction (Red Deer, Highland Cattle, Belted Galloway Cattle, Hebridean/North Ronaldsay/Shetland Sheep), fly fishery, Visitor Centre and Cafe. In 2010 prehistoric remains were uncovered on the site of the current visitor centre. To the west of the country park is privately owned Cockleroy Hill (278 metres (912 ft)), which is topped by the remains of a prehistoric hillfort. Location A major attraction of Beecraigs is its location high on the hills above the towns of Bathgate and Linlithgow which afford impressive views of the surrounding countryside, including the Forth Valley, Linlithgow Loch, Binny Craig and Palace, the three Forth Bridges and the Pentland Hills. The Park does not lie on any major routes, and is 4 miles (6.4 km) from the M9 and 5 miles (8.0 km) from the M8 motorways. Reservoir The reservoir, now known as Beecraigs Loch, was built by German Prisoners of War. They were based in a work camp and had been sent from Stobs Camp near Hawick. Clay and stone was used to build the dam wall, this stone was quarried from Riccarton Hill and brought down the slopes to the site using a winch-powered railway. By 1918 the 8 hectare reservoir, holding 82 million gallons of water, began serving as a local water supply and continued to do so for 55 years.

Watling Lodge

Watling Lodge was a Roman fortlet on the Antonine Wall in Scotland. It was located near what is now Lock Sixteen on the Forth and Clyde Canal in Falkirk with neighbouring forts at Rough Castle to the west and Falkirk to the east. There was also a fort at Camelon to the north. There was also a Roman temporary camp found a short distance south of the site. Description Watling Lodge has been described as the best preserved stretch of ditch from the Antonine Wall still in existence today. It is situated along Tamfourhill Road, south-west of Falkirk. This stretch is excellently preserved. One of the best overviews of the site is the video of the Bridgeness Slab by Falkirk Council, presented by Geoff Bailey, Keeper of Archeology and Local History at Falkirk Museum, from about 4 minutes 30s. In Falkirk, the site is signposted from the A9 and is accessed from the B816, Tamfourhill Road. There is an information panel fairly close to the top of the wall. The panel shows how the Wall may have looked, and suggests Watling Lodge's place in the grand design of the construction. Excavation and finds Sir George Macdonald wrote about the site. A digital reconstruction of the fortlet has been created. A Minecraft model of the site has also been constructed. Many Roman forts along the wall held garrisons of around 500 men. Larger forts like Castlecary and Birrens had a nominal cohort of 1000 men but probably sheltered women and children as well, although the troops were not allowed to marry. It is likely that large communities of civilians were located around the site. References
Castlehill Fort

Castlehill was a Roman fort on the Antonine Wall in Scotland. Location The fort is located in East Dunbartonshire, west of Bearsden and east of Duntocher, south of the A810 Duntocher Road. Its neighbouring forts are Bearsden to the east and Duntocher to the west although there is a fortlet at Cleddans in between, with Hutcheson Hill nearer still. A circular enclosed plantation of beech trees is about all a visitor can see nowadays. The summit of Castlehill provides a wide panorama overlooking many historical finds. It's sometimes hard to see the exact line of the Antonine Wall at the location but there is some existing signage. In the 1900s several historians gave their own idiosyncratic descriptions of the site. Finds Two Roman distance slabs were found at the site. One can be compared with another found near Summerston. Both these similar slabs, like two others from Duntocher have two decorative pelta shields, one on either side of the slab. The horns of each shield are embellished with three rosettes on the Castlehill slab whereas the Summerston slab has these end in two griffins' heads. The first, badly weathered, slab has four rosettes between the shields and the inscription. It was found in 1803 on Low Millochan farm. The farm, later called East Millichen, is near Summerston. It was built into a dovecote and records the building of 3666.5 paces of wall by the Sixth Legion. MacDonald describes the work as course and relates that some of the abbreviations are unusual. He suggests that it stood side-by-side with what he calls no. 6 (RIB 2193) at Summerston. On the similar Castlehill slab (RIB 2196) he suggests the stone-cutter has blundered and made a letter P where he should have a letter F (for Fidelis) on the fourth line. The Castlehill slab also records 3666.5 paces although the units used are a matter of ongoing research. Another was found by a neighbouring farmer in 1826. A Roman altar was found in the same year. Many Roman forts along the wall held garrisons of around 500 men. Larger forts like Castlecary and Birrens had a nominal cohort of 1000 men but probably sheltered women and children as well although the troops were not allowed to marry. There is likely too to have been large communities of civilians around the site. References "distance slab of the Sixth Legion, recording the completion of 3666.5 paces".

Loch Bowie

Loch Bowie is a small freshwater loch located in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland. Geography To the west of the Loch is the former Iron Age Hillfort of Dunbowie Dun, a volcanic plug on the edge of the Kilpatrick Hills plateau, that overlooks the loch at 158 metres (518 ft). The town of Dumbarton is directly to the west. To the south is Dumbuck Hill, which is now Dumbuckhill Quarry. To the southeast is the Chapel of Colquhoun. The mound is from a volcanic plug on the edge of the Kilpatrick Hills plateau called Chapel Knowe. In the centre of the mound there is the appearance of the foundations of a small building, and in earlier times was used as a place of sepulture. A tradition is held amongst people in Dumbarton that a chapel formerly stood on the mound that part of the walls from about 100 years ago remained. Within this century, tombstones have been excavated from the ground on the Chapel Knowe. Chapel Knowe nor Muir of Colquhoun has not been found on any plan. Closer to the east, is the former castle of Middleton Castle that later became a farm. The Lorane family were tenants of Middleton for centuries, and by 1810 the castle, which had 4-foot (1.2 m) high walls, was in ruins. To the north along the rural road that passes the loch to the right is Overtoun House. Gallery See also List of lochs in Scotland List of reservoirs and dams in the United Kingdom References
Wilderness Plantation

Wilderness Plantation was the site of a Roman fortlet on the Antonine Wall in Scotland. The line of the Antonine Wall runs roughly parallel between the River Kelvin to the north and the Forth and Clyde Canal to the south. The site, like several others along the wall and beyond, was found by aerial photography, this discovery being reported in October 1965. Following this Wilkes excavated in that year and the following one. He approved of the term "interval fortlet" to describe this and other fortlets like Duntocher and Glasgow Bridge. The neighbouring forts to this fortlet are Balmuildy in the west and Cadder in the east. No coinage has been recovered nor are there any inscriptions from the fortlet although a single coin was picked up at Wilderness West. Many Roman forts along the wall held garrisons of around 500 men. Larger forts like Castlecary and Birrens had a nominal cohort of 1000 men but probably sheltered women and children as well although the troops were not allowed to marry. There is likely too to have been large communities of civilians around the site. References
Wellington Square drill hall, Ayr

The Wellington Square drill hall was a military installation in Ayr. History The building was created by the conversion an early 19th century private house (No. 16 Wellington Square) into the headquarters for the Ayrshire (Earl of Carrick's Own) Yeomanry in the early 20th century. There is evidence of a drill hall and firing range behind No. 24 Wellington Square, further along the street, which may have been used by the regiment for training purposes. The regiment was mobilised at Wellington Square in August 1914 before being deployed to Gallipoli. The property was subsequently converted back to residential use. References

Belmont House

Belmont House ist ein ehemaliges Herrenhaus im Südwesten der schottischen Shetlandinsel Unst. 1971 wurde Belmont House in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Kategorie A, 2003 die Außenanlagen in das Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland aufgenommen. Geschichte Belmont House wurde für Thomas Mouat erbaut, den Sohn des lokalen Lairds. Die Entwürfe des um 1777 fertiggestellten Gebäudes stammen von Mouat selbst, der zuvor die Region Lothian bereist hatte, um sich mit der zeitgenössischen Herrenhausarchitektur vertraut zu machen. Die gewonnenen Eindrücke sind sowohl in die Gestaltung des Gebäudes, als auch in die Anordnung der Außengebäude eingeflossen. So liegen die nahe der Küste befindliche Eingangspforte auf einer Achse mit Belmont House und dem Bauernhof dahinter. Im frühen 19. Jahrhundert wurde der Ostflügel hinzugefügt. Bis auf diesen befindet sich das Gebäude heute noch in unverändertem Zustand. Bis Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts bewohnten die Mouats selbst Belmont House. Sie veräußerten dann das Anwesen und die Bausubstanz verschlechterte sich zusehends. Insbesondere trugen Stürme in den 1990er Jahren hierzu bei. Es befindet sich heute im Besitz des gemeinnützigen Belmont Trust, der es restaurierte. Es kann als Ferienwohnung angemietet werden. Auf Grund seiner nahezu unverändert erhaltenen Originalarchitektur, zählt Belmont House zu den baugeschichtlich bedeutendsten Bauwerken auf den Shetlandinseln.

Belmont House, Shetland

Belmont House (Shaetlan pronunciation: [ˌbɛlmənt ˈhuːs] BEL-mənt-HOOSS) is a neo-classical Georgian country house estate on the island of Unst, the most northerly of the Shetland Islands, United Kingdom. It was constructed in 1775 by Shetland landowner Thomas Mouat of Garth who was a local Shetlander. The Estate has been described as "possibly the most ambitious, least-altered classical mansion in the Northern Isles." The house was restored from a derelict state between 1996 and 2010 by the community and local interest groups and Trust. Belmont House is protected as a category A listed building, and the grounds are included on the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland, the national listing of significant gardens. Gardens Walled gardens are laid out to the south of the house. These were originally restored by The Belmont Trust with walls restored and trees and shrubs planted and miantained and added to by the owners (Wilsons) with British species of Roses and Fruit Trees. History Belmont was built in 1775, with the farm square to the rear complete by 1790; together they form "miniature Palladian classical groups with flanking pavilion wings". Surrounding enclosures including garden grounds form a regular layout running down to the sea. The house and adjacent farm square are designated category A, and the grounds are included on the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland. The house was built for Thomas Mouat, whose father William was laird of the Garth estate in Shetland. Thomas Mouat visited Lothian, around Edinburgh, to gather ideas on contemporary architecture, and may have been influenced by Hopetoun House. In the early 19th century, the east wing was added to the house (now demolished), but it has otherwise remained unaltered. The Mouat family continued to occupy the house until the mid-20th century. It was then sold and became derelict. From 1996 and over the following 15 years works were carried out, largely by local craftsmen, to bring the building back into use. The property was sold in 2022 to the Wilson family who now use the House as their home and Bed and Breakfast retreat for visitors to the island of Unst. The original interiors are described by Historic Scotland as "a particularly remarkable survival."

Belmont House

Belmont House è una residenza di campagna georgiana situata sull'isola di Unst, l'isola più a nord delle Shetland, appartenenti alla Scozia (Regno Unito). Fu costruita nel 1775 dal proprietario terriero delle Shetland Thomas Mouat di Garth, ed è stata descritta come "probabilmente la maggiore classica più ambiziosa e meno snaturata delle Isole del Nord." La casa fu restaurata tra il 1996 ed il 2010 dallo stato di abbandono in cui si trovava; è attualmente protetta come monumento classificato di categoria A, e il giardino è incluso nell'"Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland", l'elenco nazionale di giardini degni di nota. Storia L'edificio fu costruito per Thomas Mouat, il cui padre William fu laird della tenuta di Garth sulle Shetland. Thomas visitò il Lothian, presso Edimburgo, per raccogliere idee sull'architettura contemporanea, e potrebbe essere stato influenzato in tal senso dalla Hopetoun House. All'inizio del XIX secolo, fu aggiunta l'ala destra; per tutto il resto, l'edificio è rimasto intoccato. La famiglia Mouat continuò ad occupare la residenza fino alla metà del XX secolo, quando la proprietà fu venduta e cadde in rovina. Nel 1996 fu istituita la Belmont Trust per sovrintendere al restauro della residenza; nei successivi 15 anni furono portati avanti i lavori, principalmente realizzati da artigiani locali, per riportare l'edificio in uso. Oggi la casa è gestita dal Trust e viene affittata stagionalmente. Gli interni originali sono descritti da Historic Scotland come un "retaggio particolarmente degno di nota" Note Altri progetti Wikimedia Commons contiene immagini o altri file su Belmont House
