Gilbertfield Castle

Gilbertfield Castle is a ruined 17th-century castle in South Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is located at NS652587, on the north slope of Dechmont Hill, just outside Cambuslang, to the south-east of Glasgow. History The castle is within the former barony of Drumsagard, which was a possession of the Hamiltons. The castle was built in the early 17th century, and the date 1607 is displayed on a heraldic panel above the door. The castle was later lived in, around the turn of the 18th century, by William Hamilton of Gilbertfield (1665–1751), a retired soldier and writer. A friend of Allan Ramsay, he was responsible for translating Blind Harry's epic poem The Actes and Deidis of the Illustre and Vallyeant Campioun Schir William Wallace. The castle Gilbertfield is a well-planned L-plan tower house. The stair tower, which projects to the north, was large enough to accommodate a series of rooms as well as a square turnpike stair. The basement level was vaulted, and contained cellars and a kitchen, which had a large fireplace and oven. A service stair connected the basement with the hall above. The hall itself had a smaller fireplace, as well as large windows with gunloops in between. Above the hall were two further floors, each with three rooms; two in the main block, and one in the wing. At the highest level, the garret, two round turrets projected at the south-east and north-west corners. There was no parapet. The castle is now a neglected ruin, the east wall having collapsed in the 1950s. Only the corbelling of the north-west turret remains.which fell down in the late 1960s. It is now deemed extremely dangerous as a lot of the brick work has fallen each year. The turret fell in the 1970s. Gilbertfield Castle is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Nearby development In March 2017, an application by Persimmon Homes to build over 400 houses in land immediately to the north of Gilbertfield Castle was approved by South Lanarkshire Council's planning committee; this was somewhat controversial as the land had previously been designated Green belt. Various concerns were raised by local residents, community councillors (representing Halfway/Cambuslang East district), the Lowland Reserve Forces and Cadets Association who have a rifle range adjacent to the site, and Clare Haughey and James Kelly, MSPs for the area, which were presented to the committee along with a 1300-signature petition opposing the development, without success. Revisions had already been made to the plans after the Scottish Environment Protection Agency objected to the builder's initial submission in 2016. A proposal for a further development directly incorporating the castle was publicised in May 2020.

Gilcomston Church

Gilcomston Church is an evangelical congregation, a member of the Didasko fellowship, which meets in the church buildings on Union Street, Aberdeen. The congregation was formerly part of the Church of Scotland and known as Gilcomston South Church. Overview The church almost closed during World War II, but a subsequent new approach proved controversial but ultimately highly influential. The church became one of the Church of Scotland's most notable evangelical congregations, with a strong emphasis on biblically based expository preaching. The Rev William Still, minister of the congregation 1945–97, developed this approach and gained international recognition. The systematic preaching of the entire bible, verse-by-verse and chapter-by-chapter, was then an innovation in the Church of Scotland; some others have subsequently copied this approach. The Rev William Still was close friends with the brothers Rev James Philip of Holyrood Abbey Church in Edinburgh and Rev George Philip of Sandyford Henderson Memorial Church in Glasgow, where similar approaches in ministry were also developed. William Still never married. The church is well attended, especially by students responding to this distinctive type of Christian ministry and witness. From 1998 to 2015, the minister was the Rev Dominic Smart. In June 2011, Rev Dominic Smart indicated that the congregation were considering leaving the Church of Scotland due to the General Assembly's decision to move towards the ordination of homosexuals to the ministry. In February 2013 the Rev Dominic Smart announced on the church website that he was leaving the Church of Scotland. The Elders and almost the entire membership also left the Church of Scotland, and formed an independent congregation with the Minister. The congregation initially rented the church building from the Church of Scotland before purchasing it outright. From 2016 until 2024 the minister was Rev. Jeremy Middleton, who had been minister at Davidson's Mains Church of Scotland from 1988 until 2015. Rev. Nathan Owens was inducted as minister on 1 October 2024.

William Simpson's Home

The William Simpson's Home is a care home in Plean, Scotland. It provides care for members of the armed services who have developed mental health or alcohol related problems. History The facility, originally known as the "William Simpson's asylum for indigent men of advanced age", was commissioned by Francis Simpson, a former captain with the East India Company, in memory of his son William who had died at the age of 22. The asylum was completed in June 1836. It was three-floors high and could accommodate 31 patients. The founder had stipulated that, if a position opened on the board of Trustees, then the priest from St Ninians Church and his successors should fill the role. From the early days it specialised in providing accommodation for soldiers and sailors. In 1907 a new building called the Governor's House was finished: the house, which was designed by Andrew McLuckie and Ronald Walker, was for the Governor of the asylum.

Girvan Football Club is a Scottish football club based in Girvan, South Ayrshire. Nicknamed the Seasiders, they were formed in 1947 and play at Hamilton Park. They currently compete in the West of Scotland League Third Division. History Prior to the 2004–05 season, Girvan played in the South of Scotland Football League and as a full member of the Scottish Football Association, entered the Scottish Qualifying Cup each year. When the club joined the Scottish Junior Football Association in 2004, they were allowed to continue this arrangement and since Scottish Cup re-organisation in 2007, now qualify directly for the tournament every season. This situation was unique to Girvan until 2014; when fellow Junior clubs Banks O' Dee and Linlithgow Rose also achieved full SFA member status via club licensing. On 26 June 2018, Ian Patterson became the manager at Girvan, assisted by former Craigmark assistant and fellow ex-Girvan player Greg Gallagher and John ‘Hoots’ Harvey. On 26 January 2020, Patterson was sacked as manager, with former manager Peter Leonard as caretaker manager until the end of the season. On 29 April 2021, Girvan FC announced a new management team of Matt Maley, Robert Love, Andy McInnes & Jack Martin taking the reins from caretaker manager Peter Leonard.

The Barras

The Barras is a major street and indoor weekend market in the East End of Glasgow, Scotland. The term "Barra" is Glaswegian dialect for "barrow" relating to the market's early years where traders sold their wares from handcarts. Barrowland is sometimes used to describe the Calton district of Glasgow, where the market is located. History One of Glasgow's most famous institutions, The Barras was founded by James and Maggie McIver in the interwar years. McIver hired over 300 barrows to local hawkers in her yard in Marshall Lane. This was in response to the Local Corporation wishing to stop local street traders and the street traders being charged by the police. In 1926, Maggie McIver decided to cover the market mainly to protect clothing hawkers from having their stock ruined. The market was fully enclosed two years later. Several of the smaller 1921-era market halls still bear the McIver name. In 2016, with market stalls quieter than in previous decades, the city council looked at proposals to redevelop the area. Ballroom It was common practice for McIver to host a Christmas party for the hawkers and their families in a local hall. One year, when McIver was unable to hire the hall, she decided to build her own, the famous Barrowland Ballrooms which opened Christmas Eve 1934. The front of the building is decorated with a distinctive animated neon sign. Location Because of its location on Gallowgate, the main thoroughfare from the city centre to Parkhead and Celtic Park, The Barrowland has a large concentration of public houses and shops devoted to fans of Celtic Football Club.

Glasgow Bridge, Glasgow

The Glasgow Bridge spans the River Clyde in Glasgow linking the city centre to Laurieston, Tradeston and Gorbals. Formerly known as Broomielaw Bridge, it is at the bottom of Jamaica Street near Central Station, and is colloquially known as the Jamaica Bridge. The original bridge was authorised by the Clyde Bridge Act 1758 (32 Geo. 2. c. 62) and completed in 1772, and was designed by William Mylne and built by civil engineer John Smeaton. Its seven-arch structure was honoured by Thomas Telford, the first president of the Institution of Civil Engineers, who replaced it in 1833 with a design built by John Gibb & Son for £34,000. One of Telford's colleagues, Charles Atherton, was the resident engineer for the Works. It became the first in Glasgow to be lit by electricity. Between 1895 and 1899 it was replaced with the current wider bridge which incorporated Telford's stonework and expanded the arches to accommodate larger ships. The present structure is protected as a category B listed building. Proposed bridge The Glasgow Bridge was also the name of a proposed bridge. Designed by the Richard Rogers Partnership, it was to be a curved, ramped deck bridge, using a cable stayed compression arch to provide an additional route from Broomielaw to Tradeston. However, late in 2006 funding was withdrawn for this project. The Tradeston Bridge has since been built to serve this function.

Glasgow City Halls

Die Glasgow City Halls sind eine ehemalige Markthalle mit angeschlossenem Gemeindesaal in der schottischen Stadt Glasgow. 1970 wurde das Bauwerk als Einzeldenkmal in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Es ist nicht zu verwechseln mit den Glasgow City Chambers, dem Rathaus Glasgows. Geschichte Der Gebäudekomplex besitzt eine komplexe Bauhistorie. Sie beginnt mit der Einrichtung einer Markthalle im Jahre 1817, die Im Laufe der Zeit vielfach überarbeitet und erweitert wurde. Das Bauwerk gliedert sich grob in getrennte Handelsbereiche für Obst, Gemüse und Käse sowie zugehörige Lagerbauten. 1841 wurde eine Gemeindehalle hinzugefügt. Der nördliche Teil des Komplexes, der einst das gesamte Karree einnahm, wurde zwischenzeitlich abgebrochen. Die Ergänzung einer Lagerhalle und des Käsemarktes im Jahre 1907 schlug mit 23.000 £ zu Buche, während der vor 1910 vorgenomme Anbau des Früchtemarkts 17.000 £ und die Modernisierung des Gemüsemarkts 1700 £ kostete. Im Jahre 2000 beginnend wurde der Komplex restauriert und neu entwickelt. Der ehemalige Gemeindesaal wurde zu einer Veranstaltungshalle mit rund 1000 Sitzplätzen umgebaut, die 2003 eröffnet wurde. Die Markthalle wurde zu einer Ladenpassage für Gourmetprodukte entwickelt. Beschreibung Die Glasgow City Halls stehen östlich des Glasgower Stadtzentrums. Die Albion Street im Osten, die Bell Street im Süden sowie die Candleriggs im Westen begrenzen den Komplex. Die Fassaden sind im historisierenden Italianate-Stil ausgestaltet. Die eklatanten Unterschiede in der Gestaltung der einzelnen Gebäudeteile offenbart die anhand der Baugeschichte nachvollziehbare schrittweise Errichtung. Zu den wiederkehrenden Gestaltungselementen zählen korinthische oder ionische Säulen oder Pilaster sowie Friese. Rundbögen finden sich entlang der Candleriggs, der elaboriertesten Fassade des Komplexes. Teilweise sind die Fenster mit Gesimsen verdacht. Entlang der Straßen sind einzelne Ladengeschäfte mit flächigen Schaufenstern eingerichtet.

Glasgow Fort

Glasgow Fort is a large out-of-town shopping and leisure park in Glasgow, Scotland, just off Junction 10 of the M8 motorway which runs to the south, surrounded by the residential areas of Provanhall, Garthamlock and Easterhouse. It was opened in 2004 built on land which had been part of Auchinlea Park (previously the site of two quarries) which still exists to its immediate east. Description The concept is unusual when compared to other local out-of-town shopping centres such as Braehead and Silverburn, in that it is uncovered and therefore the spaces between units are open to the elements, therefore technically categorising it as a retail park. The design of the area incorporates a "two-sided mall design" intended to recreate a traditional high street. The scheme opened in October 2004 with Phase 1 of the development providing 390,946 sq ft (36,320.1 m2) of retail accommodation. There are currently over 100 retail units and two additional kiosks. Retail range in size from small single floor 570 sq ft (53 sq m) spaces to large multi-floor units that are over 22,000 sq ft (2,000 m2) in size. There are approximately 2,500 car parking spaces for the park. In 2016, a new multi-storey car park opened with over 600 spaces in it. From 2012 to 2013, an extension to Glasgow Fort Shopping was under construction. It opened in October 2013, with hundreds of Glaswegians attending the grand opening. The extension included five new restaurants: Chiquito; Prezzo; Wagamama; TGI Friday's and Harvester, alongside an eight-screen Vue Cinema. Between 2014 and 2015, another large extension began. With various new restaurants, shops and a large Marks and Spencer, the extension opened in late 2015. Transport Buses and trains run regularly to Easterhouse railway station (2 miles away) from Glasgow City Centre, in addition to buses from the city to the complex, making Glasgow Fort easily accessible by public transport.

Glasgow Golf Club

Glasgow Golf Club, founded in May 1787, is the ninth oldest golf club in the world. It has changed location several times during its history, but has been based at Killermont in Bearsden since 21 May 1904. The club is unusual in also having a links course, at Gailes, near Irvine, on the Ayrshire coast, some 35 miles away. History The club was founded in May 1787, the first golf club in the west of Scotland, and now the ninth oldest golf club in the world. Its first Secretary was Lawrence Craigie and it was presided over by Cpt. James Clark. It was first established at Glasgow Green by 22 men, wealthy merchants and army officers, who would have obtained a permit for the playing of golf in this public space from the town council. The club met here between 1787 and 1794, at which point, active military service in the Napoleonic Wars reduced the number of available players below practical levels. Golf playing recommenced in 1809 and remained at Glasgow Green until 1835 despite some municipal drainage works making the location somewhat unpleasant for leisure activities. In 1870, the club started to expand, initially at Queen's Park, but moving just four years later to Alexandra Park. There was one further move to Blackhill (in 1895) before the current course at Killermont was secured for private play. It was during this phase of the club's history that the Gailes Links, Irvine, Ayrshire were opened (19 May 1892). The Killermont course is based in the grounds of the B-listed Georgian neoclassical style Killermont House, built in 1805 by the Campbell-Colquhoun family. It was leased for a 20-year period by Glasgow Golf Club in the autumn of 1903, and a permanent tenancy was agreed in 1922. A similar arrangement with the Colquhoun family is in place with Loch Lomond Golf Club, which has occupied Rossdhu House and the accompanying grounds at Luss since 1993. In 1924 the land on which the Gailes Links course lies was bought from the Duke of Portland. The Killermont course does not encourage visitors (except for member's guests), but it is possible to play as a visitor on the Gailes course. Course details Killermont is a par-70, parkland course of 5,977 yards (5,465 m), designed in 1904 by Old Tom Morris. The course was altered in 1924 by James Braid, lengthening some of the holes by moving tees further back from the greens and by adding and changing bunkers. Gailes is a par-71, championship golf links of 6,903 yards (6,312 m) with heather-lined fairways. The current layout was designed by Willie Park Jnr in 1912. It is the only Open Championship Final Qualifying course in Scotland to be selected by The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews from 2014 to 2017.

Glasgow Golf Club

De Glasgow Golf Club is een oude golfclub in Schotland. Geschiedenis De golfclub werd opgericht in 1787 en was toen de enige golfclub aan de Schotse westkust. Oprichters waren 22 kooplui en officieren. Ze speelden eerst in Glasgow Green, het oudste park in Glasgow. Tussen 1787 en 1904 verhuisde de club een paar keer. Door de oorlog tegen Napoleon slonk het aantal spelers. In 1809 kwamen de militairen terug en werd er weer gespeeld. In 1870 was het ledenaantal zozeer toegenomen dat de behoefte ontstond om een 18-holesbaan te hebben. De club verhuisde naar het Queen's Park en in 1874 naar het Alexandra Park. Toen die baan te vol werd, werd gezocht naar een nieuwe locatie, maar men wilde de baan van Glasgow Gailes behouden. In 1895 volgde een uitbreiding naar Killermont, waar het een besloten club werd. In 1903 sloot de golfclub en huurcontract voor 20 jaar met de Duke of Portland, eigenaar van Killermont House (1805). De Killermont-baan werd in 1904 geopend en lag op zijn landgoed. Het huurcontract werd in 1922 eeuwigdurend, maar in 1924 kon de golfclub het land kopen. Banen De club heeft twee golfbanen: Killermont heeft een par van 70 en werd ontworpen door Old Tom Morris. Glasgow Gailes heeft een par van 71 en werd in 1912 aangelegd door Willie Park jr.
