Crathie Kirk

Crathie Kirk è una piccola parrocchia della Chiesa di Scozia nel villaggio scozzese di Crathie; è conosciuta in quanto regolare luogo di culto della famiglia reale britannica quando si trova nel vicino Castello di Balmoral. Crathie Kirk è oggi unita con la vicina Braemar per costituire una singola parrocchia con due luoghi di culto. In futuro, questa parrocchia sarà ulteriormente allargata per includere Glenmuick (Ballater). Il ministro della chiesa, dal 2005, è il reverendo Kenneth Mackenzie, ex ministro della congregazione della Chiesa di Scozia a Budapest, in Ungheria, dal 1999 al 2005. Storia Crathie è un luogo di culto cristiano fin dal IX secolo, quando fu costruita una chiesa sulle rive del fiume Dee da San Maniro (vescovo dell'Aberdeenshire e Banffshire, e seguace di Columba di Iona, il pioniere della cristianità in Scozia). La tradizione vuole che Maniro abbia battezzato i convertiti dei Pitti in una pozza d'acqua del Dee, ad est dell'attuale villaggio di Crathie. Un menhir solitario a Rinabaich è tutto ciò che resta della chiesa di Maniro, ed è il luogo dove si ritiene che egli stesso sia sepolto. Luoghi di culto successivi sono situati più ad ovest, presso l'attuale villaggio di Crathie. Le rovine di una chiesa del XIII secolo, dedicata a San Maniro, si trova sulla riva sud rispetto alla struttura attuale. Nel 1804 fu costruita una nuova chiesa sul sito attuale. La regina Vittoria del Regno Unito frequentò la chiesa dal 1848, e da allora ogni sovrano britannico ha frequentato la Crathie Kirk. Vittoria pose la prima pietra di una nuova chiesa, molto più grande, nel 1893. La decisione della regina di recarsi alla Crathie Kirk causò in origine uno scandalo, in particolare quando si scoprì che vi aveva ricevuto la comunione. In quanto Governatore Supremo della Chiesa d'Inghilterra, anglicana, ci si aspettava che avrebbe frequentato la Chiesa episcopale scozzese, che riconosceva l'autorità dell'Arcivescovo di Canterbury. Anna, principessa reale, sposò il 12 dicembre 1992 a Crathie Kirk Timothy Laurence, allora comandante della Royal Navy. La coppia scelse di sposarsi in Scozia in quanto la Chiesa d'Inghilterra non permetteva, all'epoca, di risposarsi dopo il divorzio. La Chiesa di Scozia, che non considera il matrimonio un sacramento, non ha infatti obiezioni se un divorziato decide di risposarsi. La famiglia reale britannica partecipò alla funzione religiosa a Crathie Kirk la domenica dopo la morte di Diana, principessa del Galles, la mattina del 31 agosto 1997.

Creinch

Creinch (Scottish Gaelic: Craobh-Innis, Tree Island) is an island on the Highland Boundary Fault in Loch Lomond. History Formerly Inchcroin (not to be confused with Inchcruin), Creinch lies a little north of Inchmurrin. Inchcailloch, Torrinch, Creinch and Inchmurrin form part of the Highland boundary fault. In 1800 Garnett referred to the island as 'Grange'. Wildlife As the Gaelic name implies, it is completely covered in ivy draped trees, including some wych elms. In summer it can be difficult to penetrate the interior and in spring, it is carpeted in wild garlic, wild hyacinths and wood anemones. Footnotes

Crichton Collegiate Church

Die Crichton Collegiate Church, auch Crichton Parish Church oder Crichton Kirk, ist ein nicht konfessionsgebundenes Kirchengebäude nahe der schottischen Ortschaft Crichton in der Council Area Midlothian. 1971 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Kategorie A aufgenommen. In der Kirche werden unregelmäßig Gottesdienste abgehalten. Geschichte William Crichton, 1. Lord Crichton, zu dieser Zeit Lordkanzler von Schottland, initiierte in den 1440er Jahren den Bau der Kirche, die schließlich 1449 fertiggestellt wurde. Möglicherweise existierte am selben Standort zuvor eine Kapelle. Im Zuge der Schottischen Reformation wurden sämtliche Heiligendarstellungen in der Stiftskirche entfernt. Bilder, Wandteppiche, Statuen sowie die Maßwerke mit Bleiglasfenster wurden hierbei zerstört und das Gebäude unbenutzbar. Im Jahre 1641 wurde das Gebäude dann teilweise restauriert und als Pfarrkirche genutzt. Auf Grund der ungünstigen Lage nutzten nur wenige Kirchgänger die Crichton Kirk. Nach einer Überarbeitung in den 1820er Jahren fanden dort 600 Personen Platz, wohingegen selten mehr als 100 gezählt wurden. 1898 und ein weiteres Mal 1998 wurde die Kirche restauriert. Sie wird heute nicht mehr als Pfarrkirche genutzt. Beschreibung Das gotische Bauwerk liegt isoliert rund 600 m südwestlich des Weilers Crichton nahe dem Westufer des Tyne inmitten des zugehörigen Friedhofs. Ursprünglich besaß das mit Querschiff konzipierte Gebäude einen kreuzförmigen Grundriss, der Chor verfiel jedoch zwischenzeitlich zu einer Ruine und wurde nicht wiederaufgebaut. Er ist heute weitgehend entfernt. Das Eingangsportal befindet sich an der Westseite, an der sich einst der Chor befand. Der hohe profilierte Spitzbogen wurde mit Mauerwerk verfüllt. Die mit romanischem Bogen gestaltete, zweiflüglige, hölzernen Eingangstür befindet sich mittig unterhalb des Bogens. Der quadratische Glockenturm war einst ein Vierungsturm, der durch den Abriss des Chors nun an der Westseite aufragt. Er ist mit gepaarten horizontalen Schlitzfenstern gestaltet, die steinerne Fensterpfosten voneinander trennen. Unterhalb des wuchtigen Satteldaches läuft eine auskragende Bewehrung um. Die Giebelflächen sind schmucklos, an der Ostseite sitzt jedoch ein kleiner Dachreiter mit Geläut auf. Ebenso wie die gegenüberliegende Ostseite sind die Abschlüsse des Querschiffs ebenfalls mit flächigen Maßwerken gestaltet. Die Bleiglasfenster zeigen verschiedene Szenen aus dem Leben Christi. Sie stammen aus den Jahren zwischen 1899 und 1908. Alle Dächer sind mit Schiefer eingedeckt.

Lochmaben F.C.

Lochmaben Football Club is a Scottish football based in Lochmaben, Dumfries and Galloway. The club took on its current name after a merger with Crichton in 2016. They currently compete in the South of Scotland League. History Crichton The most recent incarnation of the club formed in 1972 as Auldgirth Football Club playing in local amateur leagues. Auldgirth FC was renamed to Blackwood Dynamos Football Club before a 1999 rename to reflect their home ground is Crichton Hospital Park. They were originally to adopt the title Crichton Royal Football Club, but never assumed the Royal part of the name. Their strip consisted of blue and white. They formerly competed in the South of Scotland Football League, which they joined in the 1992–93 season. They won the South of Scotland League Cup in the 2002–03 season. Manager Jim Thompson guided the club to their best-ever season in 2007–08, as they won the league title. Winning the South of Scotland League gave Crichton passage to the 2008–09 Scottish Cup. Having received a bye in the first round, they played Inverness side Clachnacuddin away in the second round on 25 October 2008, where they lost 1–0. On 3 May 2015, it was announced that the club would fold after 43 years. This was due to their chairman and two committee members leaving a committee which was already at the bare bones. In June 2015, it was announced that the club would merge with local amateur side Lochmaben Amateurs. The club played its home fixtures for the 2015–16 season at Hospital Park after a season playing away from their home ground. Lochmaben Before the start of the 2016–17 season, Crichton effectively folded as part of a merger with Lochmaben Amateurs and the club moved to Lockerbie and now play under the Lochmaben name. They initially played at New King Edward Park, ground sharing with Mid-Annandale. In 2019 the club returned to Lochmaben after a new pavilion was constructed at Whitehills Park.

Crimond Parish Church

Die Crimond Parish Church ist eine Pfarrkirche der presbyterianischen Church of Scotland in der schottischen Ortschaft Crimond in der Council Area Aberdeenshire. 1971 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Geschichte Die erste Kirche am Standort entstand möglicherweise bereits im Jahre 1262 durch Richard de Potton, Bischof von Aberdeen. Die mittelalterliche Kirche wurde mit dem Bau der heutigen Crimond Parish Church obsolet. Heute sind nur noch Fragmente der Außenmauern erhalten. Die heutige Pfarrkirche wurde im Jahre 1812 errichtet. 1854 wurde eine Sakristei ergänzt und der Innenraum 1895 überarbeitet. Zehn Jahre später wurde der Innenraum vollständig modernisiert. Beschreibung Das neogotische Kirchengebäude steht im Ortszentrum an der Hauptverkehrsstraße (A90). Die Fassaden des länglichen Gebäudes sind mit Harl verputzt, wobei Gebäudeöffnungen und -kanten mit Granit abgesetzt sind. An der Westseite ragt ein kleiner Glockenturm mit spitzem Helm auf. Mit Ausnahme eines Fensters an der Ostseite, ist noch das ursprüngliche Glas erhalten. Im Inneren ruhen Galerien auf dorischen Säulen. Die Turmuhr zeigt die Inschrift „The Hour’s Coming“. Auf Grund eines Fabrikationsfehlers zeigte das Ziffernblatt zwischen den Zahlen 11 und 12 fünf Minutenstriche, woraus optisch eine Stunde mit 61 Minuten resultierte. Im Rahmen des Überarbeitung des Ziffernblatts im Jahre 1949 wurde der überzählige Strich entfernt. Dies führte zu lokalen Protesten, sodass er schließlich wieder hinzugefügt wurde. Seit 1994 treibt ein elektrisches Werk die Uhr an.

Crimond Church

Crimond Church is a Christian, Church of Scotland Presbyterian church, located on the east side of the A90 road in the centre of the village of Crimond, Aberdeenshire, Scotland at location NK0556. It was built in 1812, to a design by Robert Mitchell, and is a Category A listed building. It is associated with the popular hymn tune "Crimond". The church celebrated its bicentenary in 2012 with a special service led by The Very Rev. Prof. Alan Main, a former Moderator of the Church of Scotland (1998–99). Architecture The church clock, bearing the inscription "The hour's coming", has an extra minute between the eleven and twelve making for 61 minutes in the hour. The clock was gifted by Dr James Laing from his Haddo Estate in the early 19th century. The clock is now powered by electricity, but the original mechanical movement is displayed in the church in memory of late councillor Norman Cowie OBE who raised the funds for the electrification of the clock. In 1949, when the clock was being repainted, the extra minute was removed, but thus caused such a furore that it was restored. The church's fish-shaped weather vane was lost for many years but was found in the 1990s and reinstalled at the top of the spire. The vane had previously been the target of vandalism, showing bullet holes from an air rifle. The pipe organ is a two-manual instrument built by Conacher and Co., one of only two in Scotland (the other is in St Mary's Cathedral, Aberdeen). It was restored in 1985. The Lord's my Shepherd The hymn "The Lord's my Shepherd", a metrical paraphrase of 23rd Psalm, is traditionally sung to the hymn tune Crimond. It is thought that this tune was composed in 1871 by Jessie Seymour Irvine (1836–1887), daughter of the minister, Rev. Alexander Irvine (1804–1884). The tune was first published in The Northern Psalter (1872) but was attributed to David Grant. According to some accounts, Grant had only provided the harmonisation and that it was Irvine who wrote the melody, although this claim has been disputed by some scholars. Hymnals now generally now credit the hymn to Irvine. A set of four etched glass panels inside the church commemorate Jessie Seymour Irvine as the composer. The panels were installed in 2002 in memory of a previous minister, Rev James E Lyall (d.2002) and are illustrated with imagery of Jesus as the Good Shepherd and with musical notation from the first line of the hymn tune. Both Jessie and her father Alexander are buried in the family grave in the churchyard of St Machar's Cathedral in Aberdeen.

Crimond Raceway

Crimond Raceway is the most northerly stock car track in the United Kingdom. It is located about a mile from the village of Crimond in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The airfield nearby is where former Formula One world champion driver Jim Clark began his career. The stock cars began in the 1950s with the original tracks on the runways on the nearby Crimond Aerodrome. However the Ministry of Defence reclaimed the land to build radio masts and so the track was moved three times before settling for its current situation in 1973/1974. The track is an oval with two stands and a large tire wall around the outside to protect the spectators. Today the track hosts National Hot Rod, Saloonstox, BriSCA Formula Two and other local formula championships under the auspices of the ORCi (Oval Racing Council International) References External links Crimond Raceway Official Website At Crimond With Clark
Cringletie

Cringletie is a Scottish Baronial house by the Eddleston Water, around 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) south of Eddleston in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland, in the former Peeblesshire. Designed by David Bryce and built in 1861, the house is a Category B listed building. Since 1971 it has been operated as a country house hotel. History A "tower and manor place" at "Cringiltie" are mentioned in a charter of 1633. The lands of Cringletie were purchased in 1666 by Alexander Murray of Black Barony, another nearby estate. Murray built a house on the site, which forms the core of the present building. Captain Alexander Murray (1715–1762), an officer of the British Army who saw service in the Seven Years' War, was born here. The house belonged to the Murray, later Wolfe Murray, family until 1941. In 1971 it was first converted into a hotel, and has since changed ownership on more than one occasion. The grounds of the house include a walled garden and an 18th-century doocot.

Cromlix House

Cromlix House ist eine Villa und heutiges Hotel nahe der schottischen Ortschaft Kinbuck in der Council Area Stirling. 2006 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der Kategorie C aufgenommen. Die aus dem 17. Jahrhundert stammende zugehörige Sonnenuhr ist separat als Denkmal der höchsten Kategorie A geschützt. Geschichte Es war Arthur Hay Drummond, der dritte Sohn von Thomas Hay-Drummond, 11. Earl of Kinnoull, der Cromlix House im Jahre 1874 erbauen ließ. Für den Entwurf zeichnet das bekannte schottische Architekturbüro Brown and Wardrop beziehungsweise Wardrop and Reid (je nachdem ob die Planung vor oder nach Browns Tod im selben Jahr abgeschlossen wurde) verantwortlich. Bereits fünf Jahre später verheerte ein Brand die Villa. Das heutige Cromlix House wurde im Jahre 1880 erbaut. Zwischen 1900 und 1903 wurde das Gebäude signifikant erweitert. Im Jahre 1908 besuchte der spätere britische König Eduard VIII. Cromlix House. Heute beherbergt Cromlix House ein gleichnamiges Hotel. Beschreibung Das zwei- bis dreistöckige Cromlix House steht weitgehend isoliert rund einen Kilometer nordwestlich von Kinbuck. Ursprünglich nur zweistöckig, wurde Cromlix House im Zuge der Erweiterung teilweise aufgestockt. Stilistisch folgt die Gebäudearchitektur keinem klaren Stil, zeigt jedoch Anleihen des Scottish Baronial. Das Mauerwerk besteht aus unregelmäßig bearbeitetem, roten Sandstein, der zu einem Schichtenmauerwerk verarbeitet wurde. Abgesetzt sind Details aus cremefarbenem Sandstein. Die Fenster entlang der Fassaden sind zu Zwillingen oder Drillingen gekuppelt und mit steinernen Pfosten gestaltet. Der zinnenbewehrte Eingangsbereich tritt aus der ostexponierten Hauptfassade heraus. Daneben tritt die Kapelle mit runder Apsis heraus.
