Stade Meadowbank

Le Meadowbank est un complexe sportif polyvalent situé à Édimbourg, en Écosse. Il a accueilli les Jeux du Commonwealth en 1970 et 1986. Le complexe sportif comprend un stade dont la capacité totale est de 16 500 places. Le stade contient une piste à huit couloirs entourant le terrain en gazon. Il existe également un vélodrome, un terrain de Hockey sur gazon et de basket-ball. Le stade contient des installations intérieures dont une piste de 100 mètres, des salles de fitness, des terrains de squash, de football et de basket-ball. Le complexe est également utilisé pour des brocantes, des concours d'arts martiaux, des matchs de boxe, des conférences et des concerts. Le stade de Meadowbank est souvent cité comme l'un des pires stades utilisés dans la ligue d'Écosse de football, en raison de l'absence d'ambiance pendant les matchs. D'une capacité totale de 16 500 places, le stade attirait moins de 1 000 spectateurs lors des rencontres du club des Meadowbank Thistle. La plupart des fans étaient situés d'un seul côté et très en retrait du terrain à cause des huit couloirs de la piste d'athlétisme. Jeux du Commonwealth Le stade du Meadowbank a été construit pour les jeux du Commonwealth britannique de 1970. Il a été inauguré par le prince Edward le 2 mai 1970. Il a également accueilli les Jeux du Commonwealth de 1986. Ces jeux subissent un important déficit financier dû au boycott de la plupart des participants. En effet, en opposition avec le reste du Commonwealth, le Royaume-Uni, pays hôte, s'oppose à l'imposition de sanctions économiques vis-à-vis du gouvernement sud-africain, qui pratique l'apartheid. Margaret Thatcher, Premier ministre du Royaume-Uni du gouvernement britannique, réaffirme cette position quelques semaines avant les Jeux, ce qui amène le Nigeria à déclarer qu'il n'y participera pas. Finalement, 32 sur 59 pays inscrits boycottent les Jeux. clubs résidents Liens externes site internet (en) Portail de l’architecture et de l’urbanisme Portail du sport Portail du football Portail de l’Écosse

Mearns Academy

Mearns Academy is a secondary school in Laurencekirk, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. As well as Laurencekirk itself, the school also serves the surrounding villages of St Cyrus, Marykirk, Fettercairn, Auchenblae, Luthermuir, Edzell Woods and Fordoun. Mearns Academy moved into a new building in 2014 and currently services 680 students. The new school was built as the conditions at the former building had been seen as unacceptable to councils. The former Mearns Academy school building was the former primary school before it moved. The current rector is Mr. Gareth Campbell who took over in 2018 from Mr. David Martindale. The school has sports teams that compete in rugby, football (boys and girls), netball, cross country running and volleyball. The school's house system has four houses: Thornton, Johnston, Conveth and the latest, established in 2017, Drumtochty. Awards In 2003, the school was awarded the Charter Mark. In 2010, the school was awarded the Customer Service Excellence Standard Incidents In 2019, the school made news following a viral interaction between a 17-year-old student and his teacher regarding the topic of genders. The teacher discussed the idea of two genders being antiquated, to which the student responded "But sir, there's only two genders." After being removed from class, the teacher told the student in a recorded interaction that he was entitled to his opinion on the number of genders, but that his opinion was not inclusive enough to be welcome at the school, being an inclusive establishment. The student remarked that he did not find such an action to be inclusive of him. Following the video of the conversation going viral online, the school suspended the student as he was not allowed to film a teacher. Despite stating that the punishment was regarding consent to be filmed and not the nature of the conversation, the school has maintained its stance on inclusivity with a spokesman saying “In our schools, fostering good relations among different groups can be a real challenge but our aim is to support a fairer, inclusive environment for all."

Long Loch (Angus)

Long Loch is a small lowland freshwater loch within the Sidlaw Hills in Angus. It is 1.8 miles south of the village of Newtyle, three miles east-south-east of Coupar Angus and 2 miles directly north of Lundie. It is peculiar in shape, resembling a dog's body without legs and is on a north-east to south-west orientation. Geography The west of the loch is heavily wooded by Palmer Wood. Along the shoreline there is fen vegetation with species such as bottle sedge, water horsetail, reeds and reed canary grass. Found along the edge of the loch are Littorella, needle spikerush. In the water there is the aquatic herb Ranunculus circinatus and pond weed milfoil. In recent years an invasive species, Canadian waterweed has appeared. The loch is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). See also List of lochs in Scotland References
Meigle Sculptured Stone Museum

Meigle Sculptured Stone Museum er en permanent udstilling af 27 udskårne piktiske sten i landsbyen Meigle i det østlige Skotland. Det ligger op A94 road der løber fra Coupar Angus til Forfar. Museet er indrettet i den tidligere skole, der blev opført i 1844. Stensamlingen indikerer, at der har ligget en kirke eller kloster i nærheden. Der er en tidlig historisk omtale af værker udført af Thana, søn af Dudabrach, der var i Meigle (omtalt som Migdele) i midten af 800-tallet under Kong Pheraths styre. Thana har sandsynligvis fungeret som skrivermunk i det lokale kloster, der kan være grundlagt i 700-tallet. Stenene på museet er alle blevet fundet nær Meigle, og størstedelen af dem på en kirkegård eller brugt til opførsel af den gamle kirke. Den nuværende kirke i byen stammer fra omkring 1870, og den blev opført efter den tidligere bygning blev ødelagt af en brand 28. marts 1869. Stenene blev reddet af William Galloway lige efter branden. Stenene er kristne monumenter til det døde piktiske kriger-aristokrati, der er afbildet på stenene med deres våben eller i jagtsituationer.

Meikle Loch

Meikle Loch is an inland loch some miles north of Collieston, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is designated as part of the Ythan Estuary complex, along with the Sands of Forvie, as a Special Protection Area for wildlife conservation purposes. Meikle is a Scots word for large/big, which the loch is when compared to the adjacent Little Loch. It is a eutrophic loch with limited aquatic vegetation but is important as a roost site for overwintering pink-footed geese. In summer, it forms part of a wider breeding area for three species of tern and supports areas of reedswamp vegetation.

Meikleour Beech Hedge

Die Meikleour Beech Hedge ist eine Hecke in Perth and Kinross in Schottland. Gelegen nördlich von Perth, in der Nähe der Ortschaft Meikleour, erstreckt sie sich entlang der A93. Mit einer Höhe von bis zu 36 Metern wird sie vom Guinness-Buch der Rekorde seit 1966 als höchste Hecke der Welt geführt. Gleichzeitig gilt sie mit einer Länge von 530 Metern als längste Hecke Großbritanniens. Sie besteht aus einer Reihe von Rotbuchen, die in der englischen Sprache als beech bezeichnet werden. Die Geschichte der Hecke steht in Zusammenhang mit dem nahegelegenen Landgut Meikleour House, das von Robert Murray Nairne und seiner Frau Jean Mercer im Jahre 1734 errichtet wurde. Sie ließen dann die Hecke im Jahre 1745 pflanzen. Beide waren Anhänger der Jakobiten. Nachdem er 1746 in der Schlacht von Culloden gefallen war, musste sie ihr Landgut verlassen und nach Edinburgh fliehen. Sie verfügte aber, dass die Hecke als Erinnerung an ihren Gatten erhalten bleiben müsse. Die Hecke wird heute vom Meikleour Trust unterhalten, der unter anderem auch Meikleour House und die zugehörigen Ländereien bewirtschaftet.

Meikleour Beech Hedges

The Meikleour Beech Hedge(s) (European beech, Fagus sylvatica), located near Meikleour, Perth and Kinross, Scotland, was planted in the autumn of 1745 by Jean Mercer and her husband Robert Murray Nairne on the Marquess of Lansdowne's Meikleour estate. It is said the hedge grows towards the heavens because the men who planted it were killed at the Battle of Culloden. The hedge lies alongside the A93 Perth-Blairgowrie Road, and can be viewed by visitors all year round. In 1906 Henry John Elwes and Augustine Henry, in the first volume of their Trees of Great Britain and Ireland, mention the "celebrated beech hedge of Meikleour" as one of the most striking effects produced by the beech in Scotland. "This hedge forms the boundary between the grounds and the highway, and has to be cut in periodically, which is done by men working on a long ladder, from which they are able to reach with shears to about 60 feet. Local history says that this hedge was planted in 1745, and that the men who were planting it left their work to fight at the battle of Culloden, hiding their tools under the hedge, and never returning to claim them.[52] It is 580 yards long, and composed of tall, straight stems planted about 18 inches apart, and nearly touching at the base. The average height of the trees, as I am informed by Mr. Donald Matheson, is 95 feet, and their average girth at 3 feet is 18 to 36 inches. He adds that "close to the ground they are as fresh and green as a young hedge." An illustration of this hedge, taken specially for our work by Mr. D. Milne of Blairgowrie, gives a good idea of its appearance in October 1903." (The illustration is shown in Plate 11 of the volume). The hedge is noted in the Guinness World Records as the tallest and longest hedge on earth, reaching 30 metres (98 feet) in height and 530 metres (1,740 feet) in length. It is usually trimmed once every ten years, although the most recent trim, which took place in late 2019, was the first in almost 20 years.

Meldrum Academy

Meldrum Academy is a secondary school in Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, operated by Aberdeenshire Council. History Meldrum Academy was established in 2002, and opened by HRH The Princess Royal on 3 August 2002, in the presence of the Lord Lieutenant, Angus Farquharson of Finzean. The academy was created to reduce pressures on the Ellon Academy and the Inverurie Academy. It initially admitted S1 and S2 pupils only, with S2 pupils transferring from nearby Ellon and Inverurie academies. With 350 new students, it was considered to be the region's first "super-school", and the first to be created under a private finance initiative. Facilities constructed included a library, computing infrastructure, performance theatre-style large assembly hall, gymnasium with spectator gallery, and music and drama studios. Andrew Sutherland was the first head teacher until 2008. In 2005, the academy was part of a pilot sports initiative, 'Girls in Sport and Physical Activity' across Scotland. In 2006 the school reached full student occupancy. In 2022 the academy was the first Aberdeenshire school and one of 90 secondary schools across five European countries including Scotland to trial an initiative of strong leadership in digital education. Activities The five school houses are Bruce, Glennie, Slessor, Telford and Wallace. A school community garden allows for agricultural and horticultural student learning. In 2022, an accessible path was added to assist students with mobility issues. In January 2022, the Meldrum Academy Pipe Band was formed, and has performed at a number of events in the area including at Haddo House and Pitmedden Garden. Band members wear the Aberdeenshire Council tartan. The school is also the start and finish of the Barra Half marathon to the nearby Barra Hill, in its inaugural 2026 year. Feeder schools There are twelve feeder schools: Barthol Chapel Primary School, to the north. In 2024, 29 students. Cultercullen Primary School, to the east. In 2025, 50 students. Daviot Primary School, to the west. In 2024, 81 students. Logie Durno Primary School, to the west. In 2024, 45 students. Meldrum Primary School. In 2026, about 200 students.

Mellerstain House

Mellerstain House ist ein Herrenhaus nahe der schottischen Ortschaft Smailholm in der Council Area Scottish Borders. 1971 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Des Weiteren sind die Stallungen eigenständig als Kategorie-A-Bauwerk klassifiziert. Das Gesamtanwesen ist im schottischen Register für Landschaftsgärten verzeichnet. In vier von sieben Kategorien wurde das höchste Prädikat „herausragend“ verliehen. Geschichte Im Jahre 1642 erwarb der aus Lanarkshire stammende George Baillie of Jerviswood die Ländereien von Mellerstain. Im Jahre 1700 wurde am Standort ein fünfstöckiges Tower House erwähnt, das sich zum Zeitpunkt bereits in schlechtem Zustand befand. Baillies gleichnamiger Enkel beauftragte 1724 den schottischen Architekten William Adam mit der Errichtung eines Herrenhauses. Von dem ursprünglichen Entwurf wurden jedoch nur zwei Flügel ausgeführt. Bis 1738 waren verschiedene Außengebäude fertiggestellt sowie die wesentlichen Teile der einbettenden Parkanlagen angelegt. Innerhalb der Familie vererbt, beauftragte ein weiterer George Baillie William Adams Sohn Robert in den 1770er Jahren mit der Erweiterung von Mellerstain House. In dieser Bauphase entstand der zentrale Gebäudeteil. Durch Heirat gelangte das Anwesen in den Besitz der Earls of Haddington. Diese residierten in Tyninghame House, das sie jedoch mit dem Tod George Baillie-Hamiltons, 12. Earl of Haddington 1986 veräußerten und ihren Stammsitz nach Mellerstain verlegten. Beschreibung Das Herrenhaus liegt isoliert inmitten eines weitläufigen Anwesens rund 2,5 km nördlich von Smailholm und vier Kilometer nordwestlich von Kelso. Das georgianisch ausgestaltete Herrenhaus ist mit einem umlaufenden Zinnenkranz pseudobewehrt. Der später hinzugefügte zentrale Bauteil weist Merkmale klassizistischer Architektur auf. Im Inneren sind weite Teile der elaborierten Gestaltung Robert Adams erhalten. Mit der Wiederbeforstung der im Laufe des Zweiten Weltkriegs gerodeten Waldflächen wurde in den 1950er Jahren begonnen. Stallungen Die Stallungen grenzen direkt südwestlich an Mellerstain House an. Während die meisten Außengebäude in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts erbaut wurden, stammen die Stallungen noch aus dem 18. Jahrhundert. Das Mauerwerk der zweistöckigen Gebäude besteht aus Bruchstein. In eine Giebelfläche ist eine Uhr eingelassen. Sie wurde 1735 von John Kirkwood gefertigt und zierte zuvor das Rathaus von Lauder. Die Giebel sind als Staffelgiebel gearbeitet. Auf einem Dach sitzt ein hölzerner Taubenturm auf. Zwischenzeitlich wurden die Stallungen zu Wohnräumen umgestaltet.
