Threave Castle

Threave Castle je hrad, který se nachází v jižní části Skotska v oblasti Dumfries a Galloway. Tento hrad stojí nedaleko města Castle Douglas na malém ostrůvku Threave Island obklopen řekou River Dee. Historie Je možné, že Threave Island byl domovem starověkých vládců, kteří panovali v oblasti Galloway. První hrad na tomto ostrůvku byl zřejmě vybudován po roce 1000 jedním z vládců nad Galloway. Záznamy o tomto prvním hradu jsou velice limitované, ale zdá se, že původní hrad byl roku 1308 zničen Edwardem Brucem, bratrem krále Roberta Bruce, který porazil Gallowayce. V roce 1369 uspěl Archibald (3. hrabě Douglas) nad panstvím v Galloway. Archibald je více známý pod jménem „Archibald the Grim“, které mu dali jeho nepřátelé v Anglii. Threave Castle byl vybudován Archibaldem roku 1370, aby bránil Galloway před nájezdy z Anglie. V roce 1440 se 8. hrabě Douglas dostal do konfliktu s králem Jakubem II. Toto způsobilo popravu 6. hraběte Douglase a jeho mladšího bratra. A protože byl král nadšený do dělostřelectva, tak hrabě Douglasových nechal upravit obranu Threave Castle. Toto mělo za následek zničení většiny budov a části samotné věže. Kameny z těchto budov byly použity ke stavbě obranné zdi, která byla okolo ostrova. Většina zdi byla ale zaplavené River Dee a dnes je možné vidět pouze malé části zdi. 21. února 1452 zavraždil Jakub II. 8. hraběte Douglase na zámku Stirling. 9. hrabě Douglas pokračoval v odboji proti Jakubovi II. a v roce 1455 se Jakub II. rozhodl zničit celou rodinu Douglasů. V roce 1526 se hrad dostal do rukou rodiny Maxwellů (pozdějších hrabat z Nitsdale). Za napoleonských válek byl hrad používaný krátkodobě pro francouzské zajatce, ale už nikdy nebyl znovu obydlen. V roce 1913 se vlastník Edward Gordon rozhodl věnovat hrad do rukou státu. Dnes je hrad v péči Historical Scotland. Exteriér Dnešní pohled na hrad je trochu zavádějící, protože současná hladina vody je nižší. Ostrov v době Archibalda zabíral přibližně jednu třetinu současného ostrova. Může se zdát, že tento hrad byl na ostrově osamocen. Toto zdání je ale mylné, protože hrad byl obklopen množstvím domů. Interiér Náčrtek zobrazuje pravděpodobný interiér za časů Douglasů. Zdi měli omítku a byla na nich navěšená látka a tapeta. Ve velké hale byla velká okna, která umožňovala dobrý průchod slunci a pěkný pohled na řeku River Dee Upozornění pro návštěvníky Hrad je otevřený od dubna do září v době od 9.30 do 17.30 každý den. Cena: dospělí £4.00, děti £2.00, zlevněná £3.00. Cena zahrnuje zpáteční převoz lodí. Pokud cestujete se psem a je horké počasí, tak pravděpodobně nenajdete místo k parkování, které by bylo ve stínu. Vstup se psem do zahrady je ale zakázaný.

Castelo Threave

O Castelo Threave localiza-se em uma ilha no rio Dee, a Oeste de Castle Douglas, na Escócia. História Antecedentes A primitiva ocupação humana da ilha remonta provavelmente ao século VI, e acredita-se que o seu topónimo deriva do antigo galês "tref", com o significado de "herdade". É possível que Fergo de Galloway tenha construído um castelo de madeira na ilha após o ano 1000, mas o mesmo foi incendiada por Eduardo Bruce em 1308. Características No conjunto destaca-se a sólida torre de menagem, de planta quadrada, que remonta ao século XIV, erguida por Arquibaldo, o Severo. Bibliografia COVENTRY, Martin.

Замок Трив

Замок Трив (англ. Threave Castle) — средневековый шотландский за́мок, который расположен в области Дамфрис-энд-Галловей, в Шотландии. Считается, что замок ранее был домом для древних правителей Галлоуэйя, но к нашему времени не осталось доказательств подтверждающих это. История Сэр Арчибальд Дуглас, более известный как Арчибальд Грим, построил высокую, неприступную башню в 1369 году. Он лишь с недавних пор считается лордом Галлоуэя. К тому времени, как он умер в 1400 году, он стал 3-м графом Дуглас, и был одним из самых могущественных вельмож на юге Шотландии. К 1450 году, из-за того что Чёрные Дугласы стали невероятно могущественными, Яков II желал, чтобы их семья была свергнута. 8-й граф Дуглас принял меры, чтобы защитить себя и свою семью, уничтожив все вспомогательные пристройки Трива, чтобы освободить место для специально построенной после артиллерийской стены (это защитное сооружение неплохо сохранилось и до наших времён). В 1455 году произошла двухмесячная осада островной крепости. Гарнизон замка сдался только после того, как король Яков II подкупил их, для быстрого взятия укрепления. После успешной осады крепость вернулась к правительству и с тех пор была не очень значимой в истории Шотландии. Архитектура Крепость Трив ранее была домом-башней высотой почти 30 метров, окружённый большим комплексом других зданий — одна из первых в своем роде. Всего постройка имела пять этажей, а толщина стен достигала 3 метров, с небольшими окнами, построенными в сторону к острову. Сооружение также имело и укреплённые зубцы, как и большинство замков в те времена. Комнаты и пристройки Склад и служебные помещения замка находились на нижних этажах, а личные комнаты Арчибальда Дугласа были расположены на этажах повыше, для лучшего обзора прилегающих территорий. Большинство пристроек крепости не возможно теперь увидеть, так как со временем замок превратился в руины. В 1970-х были проведены археологические раскопки, во время которых были обнаружены: внешний зал, где Арчибальд проводил суд, дополнительные жилые помещения для слуг замка и древние остатки порта.

Irvine Royal Academy

Irvine Royal Academy is a six-year non-denominational secondary school in Kilwinning Road, Irvine, North Ayrshire, Scotland. History In 1572, King James VI provided funds to found the King's School of Irvine at Kirkgatehead. A new building was erected in 1816 and a Royal Charter granted in 1818 for the directorship of Irvine Royal Academy, which included the Earl of Eglinton, 11 councillors and all who subscribed £50 or more. The school was taken over by a school board in 1872 as a result of the Education Act and a new building was erected. It opened on 27 December 1901. After fees for secondary pupils were abolished in 1927, the school roll rose and it became necessary to build an annexe on Kilwinning Road, on the academy's sports field, in 1932. The school's primary department was closed in 1952. A replacement building, which became Ravenspark Academy, opened in August 1969. The old buildings remained open to serve pupils from Dreghorn and Kilwinning. In August 1992, the two academies were amalgamated into Irvine Royal Academy and in June 1993 the old school and its annexe were closed. The new Irvine Royal Academy was officially opened by Councillor Elliot Gray JP on 22 March 1994. Modern Day In recent years Irvine Royal has been known for being a partner school of the Glasgow University. Notable former pupils Sir Hilary Rudolph Robert Blood CMG, Governor of Mauritius from 1949–54 Brian Donohoe, Labour MP since 2005 for South Ayrshire Alan Gemmell OBE, director of the British Council in India Julie Graham, actress Sir Sandy MacAra, epidemiologist and former chairman of the BMA Alastair McHarg, former Scotland Rugby Union internationalist (1968–79) 44 caps Sir Thomas McKillop, former chairman of RBS, and chief executive from 1999-2006 of AstraZeneca Eric Potts Brigadier James Wilson CBE, chief executive from 1977-87 of the Livingston Development Corporation James Wilson (1895–1917), accountant and footballer See also Irvine RFC References External links Official website Irvine Royal Academy's page on Scottish Schools Online

Stroms Hellier

Stroms Hellier (Stroms Heelor) is a steep-sided rocky cove located off the Swartz Geo inlet on Fair Isle in the Scottish Shetland Islands. On 27 September 1588 one of the vessels of the Spanish Armada, El Gran Grifón, foundered here during the night, and many of the ship's crew climbed her masts as she was sinking and made it to shore. According to one account, the islanders welcomed them and the Spanish behaved well and stayed for two months. According to another, the arrival of so many Spaniards nearly doubled the population of the island which was already at the subsistence level, and although the Spanish paid well for what they took, competition with the local families for resources became scarce over time, and some soldiers, weakened by lack of food and water, may even have been murdered by the locals. An archaeological investigation was carried out in the cove in 1970 by Colin Martin and Sydney Wignall. References External links "Stroms Hellier from the cliff-top". Canmore.

Stroms Hellier

Stroms Hellier ( Stroms Heelor ) est une crique rocheuse aux versants escarpés située au large de la crique Swartz Geo, à Fair Isle, dans les îles Shetland écossaises. Le 27 septembre 1588, un des navires de l'Armada espagnole, El Gran Grifón, sombre dans la nuit, et une grande partie de l'équipage du navire grimpant sur ses mâts alors qu'il coule atteint le rivage. Selon un récit, bien que les Espagnols aient été officiellement désignés comme ennemis de tous les sujets de la reine Élisabeth Ire, les insulaires les accueillirent et les Espagnols se comportèrent bien et restèrent pendant deux mois. Selon un autre, l’arrivée de tant d’Espagnols a presque doublé la population de l’île, qui vivait déjà au minimum vital, et bien que les Espagnols aient payé le prix de leur séjour, la concurrence avec les familles locales pour les ressources s’est raréfiée avec le temps. Les soldats, affaiblis par le manque de nourriture et d'eau, ont peut-être même été assassinés par les locaux. En 1970, Colin Martin et Sydney Wignall ont mené une enquête archéologique dans la baie.

Isle of Raasay (destilleri)

Isle of Raasay Distillery er et skotsk whisky- og gin-destilleri på den Isle of Raasay i de Indre Hebrider, Skotland. Destilleriet ejes af R&B Distillers og var det første lovlige destilleri på Isle of Raasay, da det åbnede i 2017. Produktion R&B Distillers blev grundlagt i 2014 af Bill Dobbie og Alasdair Day. Virksomheden påbegyndte driften på Isle of Raasay i september 2017 efter at have modtaget sin destillatørlicens. Vandet, der anvendes i destillationsprocessen til whiskyproduktionen, stammer fra en keltisk brønd fra jernalderen. Vandet har et højt mineralindhold, der stammer fra øens vulkanske og sandstensholdige bjergarter. Whiskyen destilleres i kobber-pot stills og modnes på destilleriet på Raasay i en række forskellige egetræsfade. Destilleriet vil producere cirka 200.000 liter ren alkohol om året. Destilleriets flagskibsbrand er Isle of Raasay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, som er blevet udgivet siden 2020. Siden da har destilleriet også udgivet en række begrænsede specialaftapninger og single cask-whiskyer. Beliggenhed og besøgscenter Destilleriet ligger på stedet for et tidligere, nedlagt hotel kaldet Borodale House på den sydvestlige del af øen. Isle of Raasay Distillery har også et besøgscenter, som åbnede i januar 2018. Det blev tildelt 5 stjerner af VisitScotland som turistattraktion i juni 2018. Destilleriet rummer også et hotel med seks soveværelser og udsigt over Isle of Skye. I 2023 placerede destilleriet sig som nummer tre i en Cask Connoisseur-rangliste over de mest populære whiskydestillerier. I 2025 lancerede destilleriet sin overnatningsdel for besøgende, som omfatter fem luksushytter kaldet Na Bothain samt seks gæsteværelser inde i selve destilleriet. Produkter De første aftapninger med Raasay-navnet var While We Wait-udtrykkene, en serie på fem uafhængigt aftappede single malt whiskyer, der skulle indikere den fremtidige stil for destilleriet. Den første af disse whiskyer blev udgivet i 2017; den sidste i 2020. Den sidste While We Wait-udgivelse havde undertitlen "Last Orders" som reference til, at brandet blev udfaset. Den første single malt destilleret ved Raasay-destilleriet blev udgivet i september 2020 i et oplag på 7.500 flasker. Whiskyen blev modnet på Tennessee whisky-fade og eftermodnet (finished) på bordeaux-vinfade. I 2025 blev en limited edition-whisky udgivet til støtte for Skye Live Festival. Ud over whisky fremstiller destilleriet også Isle of Raasay gin. Ginnen bruger ti botanicals, herunder rabarberrod og kubebpeber. Den blev lanceret i juli 2019 – før virksomhedens første whiskyudgivelse. Ginnen anvender vand fra destilleriets historiske brønd på området, Tobar na Ba Bàine.
