North Church (Aberdeen)

Die North Church, auch North Parish Church, ist ein ehemaliges Kirchengebäude in der schottischen Stadt Aberdeen, das heute das Aberdeen Arts Centre beheimatet. 1967 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Geschichte 1794 wurden Planungen zum Anschluss der mittelalterlichen, unbefestigten Straßen Aberdeens an das Umland angestoßen. Es wurden zwei weite Ausfallstraßen geplant, von denen die King Street (heute Teil der A956) die nördlichen Vororte anschließen sollte. Thomas Fletcher entwarf eine klassizistisch ausgestaltete Prachtstraße, die heute den südlichen Bereich der King Street umfasst. Mit den ersten Arbeiten wurde 1805 begonnen. Für die North Church wurde eine prominente Position an der Kreuzung der King Street mit der North Street (Abschluss der heutigen A96) eingeplant. Die presbyterianische Church of Scotland ließ die North Church ab 1829 als Filialkirche der Kirk of St Nicholas errichten. Der Bau folgte einem Entwurf des Stadtarchitekten John Smith und wurde 1830 abgeschlossen. Im Folgejahr eröffnete die Kirche. Im Laufe des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde die North Church geschlossen. Sie wurde umgebaut und 1963 als Kulturzentrum „Aberdeen Arts Centre“ eröffnet. Beschreibung Die ehemalige North Church steht an der Kreuzung zwischen King Street und North Street im Zentrum Aberdeens. Links schließt sich das Gebäudeensemble 27–31 King Street an. Wie üblich im historischen Aberdeen ist das Mauerwerk der North Church aus grauen Granitquadern aufgemauert. Aus der Nordfassade des klassizistisch ausgestalteten Gebäudes tritt ein tetrastyler, ionischer Portikus heraus. Eingelassen sind drei zweiflüglige Holzportale. Der sich oberhalb des Portikus fortsetzende quadratische Uhrenturm ist mit korinthischen Eckpilastern ausgestaltet. Der Turm schließt mit einer runden Laterne. Deren Gestaltung mit korinthischer Kolonnade ist dem Lysikratesmonument in Athen entlehnt; ein beliebtes Motiv zeitgenössischer klassizistischer Bauten in Schottland, das beispielsweise am Robert Burns Monument in Alloway ebenfalls aufgegriffen wurde. Der Kirchenkörper ist mit hohen Rundbogenfenstern ausgeführt, die entlang der Ostfassade (King Street) durch kolossale dorische Pilaster gegliedert sind.

Aberdeen Arts Centre

Aberdeen Arts Centre is a theatre and arts centre on King Street in Aberdeen, Scotland with a 350-seater auditorium. It is a Category A listed building. The building was originally the North Parish Church. The church was converted to an Arts Centre in 1963. By December of that year the Attic Theatre Company were presenting McWhittington, a pantomime over Christmas and New Year. As a successor to previous groups such as Aberdeen Children's Theatre established by Catherine Hollingworth, and ACT Aberdeen, Castlegate Arts Limited which operates Aberdeen Arts Centre has charitable status. The centre is a community-focused arts venue, which aims to provide facilities and opportunities for individuals of all ages, backgrounds and abilities to engage in the performing arts. The theatre is on two levels, with an upper and a lower gallery for audiences. There is a small orchestra pit and behind the stage there are dressing and rehearsal rooms for the shows and other projects such as local drama groups. In addition the theatre has a large participatory arts programme. The centre is home to Castlegate Theatre Company (formally established by Annie Inglis), a youth group for teenagers which focuses on devised theatre. It hosts classes for writers and illustrators, Drama classes, led by Sheena Blackhall, Julie Hutton and Barry Donaldson. It hosts touring drama and musical productions and the annual Granite Noir crime writing festival. In addition Aberdeen Arts Centre puts on a summer festival known in Aberdeen as 'The Arts Carnival'. The building also houses an exhibition area which hosts local and visiting art shows. Since 2007 it has hosted an artist in residence programme at the arts centre. The first artist was Will Teather. Fight to save Aberdeen Arts Centre A successful campaign was led by Annie Inglis to save the Aberdeen Arts Centre from closure in 1998. Aberdeen City Council, as part of a bid to save £17.5m from its annual budget, had decided to cut funding for the centre to save £167,000 annually. In March 1998, while recovering in hospital from an asthma attack, Annie had coordinated a 14,500-signature petition to save the centre. This was presented, wrapped in red ribbon to Aberdeen City Council leader, Margaret Smith. By June 1998 it was announced that an agreement had been reached between the city council and campaigners who were given until September to form a limited company and to sign a lease with the council as landlords. This was then extended by 10 weeks to allow them to meet a fundraising target of £60,000. Castlegate Arts Limited was set up on 25 January 1999. This is a volunteer led charity which continues to run the centre. References External links Official website Gazetter on the Arts Centre

Aberdeen Beach and Queens Links

Aberdeen Beach and Queens Links is a coastal area in Aberdeen, Scotland, comprising a sandy beach and the adjacent public park known as Queens Links. The beach extends in a broad curve between Aberdeen Harbour and the mouth of the River Don. The beach experiences ongoing coastal erosion and is protected by a series of groynes designed to retain sand. It is a popular location for walking and water sports, including surfing and windsurfing. In the early 21st century, sections of the beach underwent a large-scale sand replenishment programme, during which sand was transported by ship from sites further south along the coast and deposited on the beach. Rock armour was also installed in V-shaped formations offshore as part of wider coastal erosion management measures. The parkland element of the area is known as Queens Links and consists of a large open grassy space running parallel to the shoreline. It is used for informal recreation and outdoor activities, including kite sports during periods of strong coastal winds. A public golf course, Kings Links, is also located within the park. History An indoor bathing station, known as the Beach Baths, was located opposite the Beach Ballroom. Designed by the city architect John Rust, it opened in 1898 and remained in operation until 1972, after which the building was demolished. Attractions Queens Links Leisure Park is located within the area and includes shops, restaurants, and a 9-screen Cineworld cinema, which originally opened under the Virgin Cinemas brand. Adjacent to the leisure park is Codona's Amusement Park. Further north along the boulevard are several venues, including the Beach Ballroom, the adjoining Beach Leisure Centre with swimming facilities, and the Linx Ice Arena. The area is also home to the outdoor sports facility Transition Extreme. The Beach Boulevard retail park is also situated within the area. It was purchased from Abrdn by Realty Income in February 2022. Transportation Aberdeen Corporation Tramways previously operated a line to the Queen's Links. The area is now accessible by bus. Previously, the beach, Footdee, and the retail park were served by a loop on route 15; however, changes to bus routes in July 2022 meant that the beach and Footdee were no longer served. Route 13 now calls at the Beach Retail Park. The Beach Esplanade runs along the coast from Queen's Links in the south to Kings Street in the north. In August 2020, a cycle lane was installed on the beach esplanade with funding from the Scottish Government's Spaces for People initiative. However, Aberdeen City Council removed the cycle lane in December 2020. See also Green spaces and walkways in Aberdeen References External links Queens Links Leisure Park Beach Boulevard Retail Park
Aberdeen bus station

Aberdeen bus station is a bus station in Aberdeen, Scotland. It is operated by Stagecoach Group. History A single central bus station in Aberdeen was first considered in the 1950s, with a site in Upper Denburn selected by W. Alexander & Sons. At the time, there were several bus stations in use in Aberdeen. However, in March 1960, the company announced that it did not intend to develop the Upper Denburn site and had instead selected a site on the grounds of the Joint Railway Station (now Aberdeen railway station). The new bus station opened on 15 April 1963. Redevelopment of the bus station was included in the Union Square project which saw former railway land replaced with retail. The first phase of this project saw the existing bus station demolished and rebuilt, and was completed in February 2008. Layout The station has two vehicular entrances, on Guild Street and Market Street. The station is connected to Union Square which itself is connected to the railway station, creating a covered interchange. The station also houses offices for Stagecoach (formerly Bluebird Buses). Services The station is the terminus for services to surrounding towns and villages, including the X7 Coastrider to Perth via Dundee, and the Buchan Express services north to Peterhead and Fraserburgh. The Jet 727 service to Aberdeen Airport also starts here. Many internal Aberdeen services call at the adjacent Guild Street but do not enter the bus station itself. References

Musée maritime d'Aberdeen

Le Musée Maritime d'Aberdeen se trouve le long du boulevard historique de Shiprow, près du port d'Aberdeen. Il occupe différents immeubles, dont l'ancien temple Congrégationaliste de la Sainte-Trinité et la maison du prévôt Ross, l'une des plus anciennes de la ville. Ce musée témoigne des liens intimes entre la ville et le trafic en Mer du Nord. Histoire L'hôtel particulier qui forme aujourd'hui l'essentiel du musée a été construit en 1593 par le maître-maçon Andrew Jamieson, puis agrandi vers le sud en 1710. En 1702, un armateur, le prévôt John Ross d'Arnage, en fit sa résidence. Au XIXe siècle, c'était un immeuble de rapport, déclaré insalubre en 1950. En 1984, le National Trust for Scotland l'acheta pour le louer au conseil municipal d'Aberdeen avec la convention d'en faire un musée. Quelques années plus tard, le conseil fit l'acquisition du temple Congrégationaliste de la Sainte-Trinité pour pouvoir agrandir le musée. Il ouvrit ses portes en 1997. Ses collections comprennent des vestiges sur la construction navale en charpente, les bricks et clippers, la pêche et l'histoire du port, et expliquent le fonctionnement des forages pétroliers en Mer du Nord.

Aberuchill Castle

Aberuchill Castle ist ein Wohnturm drei Kilometer westlich des Dorfes Comrie in der schottischen Council Area Perth and Kinross. Historisch lag er in der traditionellen Grafschaft Perthshire. Der eigentliche Wohnturm stammt vom Beginn des 17. Jahrhunderts. Im 19. Jahrhundert wurde er umgebaut und erweitert. Der Wohnturm selbst ohne seinen Westflügel ist von Historic Scotland als historisches Bauwerk der Kategorie A gelistet. Das Anwesen ist im Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland gelistet. Geschichte 1596 wurden die Ländereien von Aberuchill der Familie Campbell aus Lawers zu Lehen gegeben. Der älteste Teil des Wohnturms stammt von 1602. 1642 erwarb Sir James Drummond Aberuchill Castle und bis 1858 wurde das Anwesen in der Familie weitervererbt. Den neogotischen Ostflügel ließen die Drummonds an den Wohnturm anbauen. Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts wurden die Innenräume umgestaltet. Im Jahre 1858 kaufte Sir David Dundas aus Dunira das Haus und verkaufte es 1864 weiter an George Dewhurst aus Lymm in Cheshire. Zwischen 1869 und 1874 wurden der Westflügel und weitere Anbauten errichtet, möglicherweise nach den Plänen von David Bryce. William Mostyn-Owen erbte Aberuchill Castle 1947 nach dem Tod seines Vaters und lebte dort 1968 in „23 Zimmern oder so“ eines Flügels mit seiner Gattin, der italienischen Schriftstellerin Gaia Servadio, verkaufte es aber später. Das Anwesen verkauften die Dewhursts in den 1980er-Jahren, es blieb aber in privater Hand. 2005 hörte man, dass der russische Stahltycoon Wladimir Sergejewitsch Lissin die Burg und ihr 120 Hektar großes Anwesen für £ 6,8 Mio. gekauft hätte.

Aberuchill Castle

Aberuchill Castle is located 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) west of Comrie in Perthshire, Scotland. It comprises an early 17th-century tower house, which was extended and remodelled in the 19th century. The house, excluding the later west wing, is protected as a category A listed building, while the grounds are included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland. History In 1596 the lands of Aberuchill were granted to the Campbell family of Lawers. The earliest part of the tower house is dated 1602. In 1642 Aberuchill was acquired by Sir James Drummond, and was retained by his descendants until 1858. The gothic east wing was added to the tower house by the Drummonds, and the interiors remodelled, in the early 19th century. The house was purchased by Sir David Dundas of Dunira in 1858, who sold it on to English cotton merchant George Dewhurst of Lymm, Cheshire, in 1864. Between 1869 and 1874 the west wing and further additions were made, by the Aberdeen architect Robert Ewan. Aberuchill was 'burned down' in a suffragette attack on 4 February 1914, and the castle's servants were fortunate to escape. Aberuchill Castle was inherited by William Mostyn-Owen on the death of his father in 1947, and he was living there in "23 rooms or so" of one wing with his wife, the Italian writer Gaia Servadio, in 1968, but eventually sold it. The estate was sold by the Dewhursts in the 1980s, and remains in private ownership. In 2005 it was reported that Russian steel tycoon Vladimir Lisin had purchased the castle and its 3,000-acre (1,200 ha) estate for £6.8 million. References
