Borders General Hospital

Borders General Hospital (BGH) is a district general hospital on the outskirts of Melrose, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Borders. History The hospital was commissioned to replace the ageing Peel Hospital at Caddonfoot near Galashiels. The South-East Regional Hospital Board approved plans for a new 375-bed hospital at the Huntlyburn site in 1986. The new hospital was designed by Reiach & Hall and built by John Laing & Son and was officially opened by the Queen in 1988. The Planned Surgical Admissions Unit opened in March 2011, affording patients a more suitable environment for routine surgical procedures. The renal dialysis unit benefited from a major upgrade in June 2011 which included an increase in the number of dialysis machines from six to twelve. In January 2013 the Margaret Kerr Unit opened, providing dedicated palliative care facilities. The development provided a dedicated entrance, accommodation for patients and several large sun lounges. In March 2013 refurbishment to the stroke unit was completed. As part of a new outpatients department a new audiology suite opened in August 2013. Services It is the main hospital in the Scottish Borders and has an accident and emergency department and a Macmillan Cancer Unit. Transport The Borders General Hospital is accessible via the A6091 road, which links the A7 and the A68, known colloquially as the Melrose Bypass. It is roughly five minutes from the town of Galashiels and two minutes from the small town of Melrose via Chiefswood Road and is served by buses from all Border towns run by Borders Buses.

Borough Briggs

Das Borough Briggs ist ein Fußballstadion in der schottischen Stadt Elgin, Moray. Die Anlage ist seit 1921 Eigentum und Heimspielstätte des Fußballvereins Elgin City, und gilt als das nördlichste Fußballstadion in Großbritannien. Es hat eine Kapazität von 4520 Plätzen, davon 478 Sitzplätze. Geschichte Der im Jahr 1893 durch den Zusammenschluss der Elgin Rovers (gegründet 1887) und des FC Vale of Lossie (gegründet 1888), entstandene Elgin City Football Club spielte bis zum Jahr 1921 im Cooper Park. Die neue Sportstätte an der Borough Briggs Road wurde am 20. August 1921 eröffnet, als Elgin City in der Highland Football League spielte. Es befindet sich in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Fluss Lossie und der A941 road. Auf einer Seite des Geländes befindet sich eine überdachte Haupttribüne, die sich über die Hälfte des Spielfelds erstreckt. Alle 478 Sitzplätze des Stadions befinden sich auf dieser. Die Sitzschalen kommen aus dem zu dieser Zeit in der Renovierung befindlichen St. James’ Park von Newcastle United. Elgin City wurde im Jahr 2000 in die Scottish Football League gewählt, wodurch es nötig wurde an Sitzschalen zu kommen. Auf der Gegengerade befindet sich ein überdachter Stehplatzbereich, der zwischen Heim- und Auswärtsfans aufgeteilt wird. Das Stadion hat insgesamt acht Flutlichter, wovon auf jeder Seite des Spielfelds vier vorhanden sind. Die Stützpfeiler der Flutlichtanlagen auf der Gegengerade gehen durch das Tribünendach und behindern teilweise die Sicht der Zuschauer auf das Spielgeschehen.

Bowhill House

Bowhill House ist ein Herrenhaus in der schottischen Council Area Scottish Borders. Es liegt rund vier Kilometer westlich der Kleinstadt Selkirk zwischen den Flüssen Yarrow Water und Ettrick Water. Es gehört dem Duke of Buccleuch. 1971 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Das Gesamtanwesen ist außerdem im schottischen Register für Landschaftsgärten verzeichnet. In fünf von sieben Kategorien wurde das höchste Prädikat „herausragend“ verliehen. Geschichte König Robert the Bruce schenkte die Ländereien 1322 den Scotts of Buccleuch. Im frühen 18. Jahrhundert erwarb der Politiker John Murray, Lord Bowhill das Anwesen. Um 1708 ließ er eine georgianische Villa am Standort errichten. Nachdem Bowhill zwischenzeitlich an die Familie Veitch gegangen war, kaufte Francis Scott, 2. Duke of Buccleuch das Anwesen 1747 für die Scotts zurück. Ziel war die politische Festigung der Scotts in der Region. Die ersten Parkanlagen wurden im Laufe des Jahrhunderts entwickelt. So ist überliefert, dass Henry Scott, 3. Duke of Buccleuch bis 1777 rund 120 Acre Wald pflanzen ließ. Charles Montagu-Scott, 4. Duke of Buccleuch setzte die Anstrengungen fort. Nachdem Bowhill House bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt nur eine kleine Landvilla war, beauftragte der Herzog um 1812 den englischen Architekten William Atkinson mit deren Erweiterung zu einem Herrenhaus. Zu Beginn der 1830er Jahre überarbeitete William Burn und in der Mitte der 1870er Jahre David Bryce Bowhill House. Zu Zeiten der beiden Weltkriege diente Bowhill House zum einen als Militärhospital zum anderen als militärische Unterkunft. In der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde mit der Pflege der Waldbestände begonnen. Hierzu wurde auch 1984 der Buccleuch Heritage Trust gegründet. In der Folge wurde die Anlage für die Öffentlichkeit zugänglich. Die Kunstsammlung enthält unter anderem Werke von Canaletto, Gainsborough und Reynolds.

Bowhill House

Bowhill House is a historic house near Bowhill at Selkirk in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland. It is a member of the Historic Houses Association, and is one of the homes of the Duke of Buccleuch. The house is protected as a Category A listed building, and the grounds are listed on the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland. History A house was first built at Bowhill in 1708 by John Murray, Lord Bowhill, a Scottish law lord. His brother William Murray had bought the land earlier in 1690. In 1747, Francis Scott, 2nd Duke of Buccleuch, bought Bowhill for his son Lord Charles Scott who wanted to stand for Parliament in Roxburgh or Selkirk. In 1767, Henry, the third Duke, started to plant forests in the grounds, and in 1800, the 4th Duke Charles started to revamp what was an occasional summer house and turned it into a villa with gallery hall. The Buccleagh art collection was created as Charles and Elizabeth brought together the three family heritages of Montagu, Douglas and Scott. Walter, 5th Duke, made many changes and, in 1831, moved the entrance from south to north. The building was finally completed in 1876 when it was 437 feet (133 m) long. Bowhill House is home to part of one of the world's greatest private art collections. In the dining room are works by Canaletto, Gainsborough, and Reynolds. The collection has been gathered over 600 years and it includes 1,000 miniatures and 500 paintings as well as objets d'art. The Buccleuch collection of miniatures is said to be second only to the Royal Collection. The whole collection is exhibited at three locations: Bowhill, Drumlanrig Castle and Boughton House. The gardens and the house are open to the public. The facilities include walks and an adventure playground.

Bowhill ház

A Bowhill House történelmi épület az angol-skót határvidéken Selkirk városánál, Buccleuch hercegének egyik otthona. Az épület „A“ kategóriás műemlékvédelem alatt áll, a körülötte lévő területek szerepelnek a Skócia Kertjeinek és Tervezett Tájainak Leltárában. Története William Murray 1690-ben vásárolta meg a földet, amelyre az első házat 1708-ban építette öccse, John Murray, Bowhill lordja. 1747-ben Francis Scott, Buccleuch 2. hercege megvásárolta fia, Lord Charles Scott számára, aki Roxburgh vagy Selkirk megyében akart indulni a parlamenti választásokon. 1767-ben Henry, a harmadik herceg erőtelepítésbe kezdett a birtokon. 1800-ban a negyedik herceg, Charles, elkezdte átalakítani az addig időnként használt nyári házat egy nagyobb villává, galéria és díszterem is épült. A Buccleuch művészeti gyűjtemény ekkor jött létre, amikor Charles és felesége, Elizabeth, egyesítették a Montagu, Douglas és Scott hercegi családok örökségét. Walter, az 5. herceg, számos változtatást hajtott végre a Bowhill házon. 1831-ben az épület bejáratát áthelyeztette déli oldalról az északira. Az épület végső formáját 1876-ban nyerte el, ekkorra a hossza 133 méter lett. A Bowhill ház az egyik otthona a hatalmas magán művészeti gyűjteménynek. Az ebédlőben olyan híres művészek alkotásai találhatók, mint Canaletto, Gainsborough és Reynolds. A gyűjtemény több mint 600 év alatt jött létre, és ezer miniatűr és ötszáz festmény, valamint számos műtárgy található benne. A Buccleuch miniatűr gyűjteményről azt mondják, hogy csak a Királyi Gyűjtemény előzi meg. A teljes gyűjtemény három helyszínen van kiállítva: Bowhill ház, Drumlanrig kastély és Boughton ház. A kert és a ház nyitva áll a nagyközönség számára, és a látogatók számára sétalehetőségeket és egy kalandjátszóteret is kínálnak.

Braes of Rannoch

Braes of Rannoch (wikt:braes, slopes, Gaelic Braigh Raithneach) is a hill with a deserted hamlet and church in Perthshire. The hamlet was formerly, briefly, called Georgetown, as the redcoat barracks of Jacobite rising of 1745 were then known, then known as Bridge of Rannoch, or Bridge of Gaur, after the bridge on the River Gaur. The original barracks have gone but a large house and shooting lodge, Rannoch Barracks, is named after them. The Braes of Rannoch Manse became a hostel for forestry workers by the 1970s. The church is today a tourist feature on the road from Kinloch Rannoch to Rannoch Station. The hamlet has had three churches – in 1776, 1855, and 1907, with the bellcote being moved each time. The first church was associated with the Gaelic Bible translator and poet Dugald Buchanan and the third with the Rev. A. E. Robertson, president of the Scottish Mountaineering Society. The third was designed by Glasgow architect, Peter MacGregor Chalmers. The hamlet, or hill, features in the Gaelic song Bothan Àirigh am Bràigh Raithneach ("A shieling on the Braes of Rannoch").

Branxholme Castle

Branxholme Castle is a five-storey tower at Branxholme, about 3 miles south-west of Hawick in the Borders region of Scotland. History The present castle is on land owned by the Clan Scott since 1420. The Earl of Northumberland burned the first castle in 1532. The rebuilt castle held out against the English in the War of the Rough Wooing in 1547. In January 1548 English observers noted that cannon would be needed to capture Branxholme. In 1570 the Scotts themselves slighted and burnt the castle. On 20 April 1570, an English army under the Earl of Sussex and Lord Hunsdon arrived and Branxholm was described as "a very strong house and well set, and very pleasant gardens and orchards about it." They completed the work of demolition with gunpowder. In 1571 Sir Walter Scott of Buccleuch commenced rebuilding and his widow Margaret Douglas completed the work in October 1576. The Scotts were during these troubled years frequently the Wardens of the Middle March. The castle was extensively remodelled by William Burn in 1837 for the 5th Duke of Buccleuch. The Branksome Hall School in Toronto, Canada, is named after this castle, and has been given a replica of a mantle from the castle. In 2017 Branxholme Castle was reoccupied after twelve years of abandonment. It was renovated by Carol Shanley and Brian Desport into a family home and a business that operates as a wedding venue, a spa, a café, and guest lodging. Description Branxholme castle consists of a sixteenth-century tower house of five storeys, altered and incorporated in a later mansion. There are vaulted chambers in the basement, and a newel stair. Poetic references Walter Scott, 1st Lord Scott of Buccleuch was the “bauld Buccleuch” of the Border ballad Kinmont Willie. The narrative poem The Lay of the Last Minstrel by the poet and novelist Sir Walter Scott celebrates the success of Baron Henry of Cranston in securing the hand of Lady Margaret of Branksome Hall.

Breachacha crannog

The Breachacha crannog is a crannog located near Loch Breachacha, on the Inner Hebridean island of Coll. The crannog is designated as a Scheduled monument. A scheduled monument is a 'nationally important' archaeological site or historic building, given legal protection against unauthorised change. There are about 8,000 such sites in Scotland. Description The crannog is located at grid reference NM15615304; about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) south of Breachacha Castle. It sits within the former loch which was known as Poll nam Broig. The loch was drained in 1875 and today the crannog sits in an arable field. The surrounding ground is marshy and can be accessed only from the east. The crannog is oval-shaped and consists of a stone and earth mound with a flattened top. It stands 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) high and measures 26 by 21 metres (85 ft 4 in by 68 ft 11 in) at the base, and 16 by 11 metres (52 ft 6 in by 36 ft 1 in) on the top. The crown of the mound stands about 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) above the surrounding former loch-bed; and according to Mark W. Holley, this corresponds with what would have been the maximum water level of the old loch. Holley's calculations deduced that when the loch was full, the crannog would have been located about 30 metres (98 ft 5 in) from shore. Holley surveyed the site in 1995 and noted a series of five, semicircular pits dug into the ground on the east, south, and south-west sides of the crannog. He considered these holes to have been dug relatively recently, since the early 20th century antiquary Erskine Beveridge made no mention of them, nor did he mention any form of excavation on site. There is no trace of a causeway, jetty, or harbour on the site. There is no trace of any walling at the site; or of any protruding timbers. Holley noted that the stones appear to be of local origin. There are no other man-made features near the site. References

Brei Holm

Brei Holm is a tiny tidal islet in the western Shetland Islands. It is due east of Papa Stour, to which it is connected at low tide, just outside Housa Voe. It is about a mile off Mainland, Shetland, and not far from the Maiden Stack. It was a leper colony until the 18th century, but it has been suggested that many of the "lepers" there were suffering from a vitamin deficiency and not from leprosy at all. References
