Landmark Forest Adventure Park

Landmark Forest Adventure Park is a nature-based theme and adventure park in Carrbridge, Highlands, Scotland, which opened in 1970. It is located within an area of ancient pine woodland and was voted Scotland's Favourite Park in 2023. It was developed by David Hayes as one of the first purpose-built visitor centres in Europe, and was officially opened by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. History The park was opened in July 1970 by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. It was developed by David Hayes, who drew inspiration from visitor centres in the United States. At the time of its opening, the site included an exhibition hall, restaurant, craft shop, nature trail and picnic areas, with an initial focus on presenting the history and natural environment of the Scottish Highlands. Attractions The park includes a range of outdoor and indoor attractions such as water rides, high ropes courses, nature trails and themed areas, including a butterfly house, dinosaur-themed exhibits and illusion-based attractions. Incidents In August 2021, a rollercoaster known as the "Runaway Timber Train" derailed after a mechanical fault caused it to lose its wheels. Two 12-year-old girls were injured and later treated for whiplash. The ride was subsequently closed and later removed from the park.

Aberdeenshire Farming Museum

Das Aberdeenshire Farming Museum ist eine Bauernhofmuseum in der schottischen Ortschaft Old Deer in der Council Area Aberdeenshire. 1971 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten zunächst in der Kategorie C aufgenommen. Die Hochstufung in die höchste Denkmalkategorie A erfolgte 2007. Des Weiteren bildet das Museum mit verschiedenen umliegenden Gebäuden ein Denkmalensemble der Kategorie B. Geschichte Der lokale Laird Alexander Russell ließ im Laufe des 18. Jahrhunderts sein Herrenhaus Aden House auf dem Anwesen errichten. In der zweiten Hälfte des Jahrhunderts geriet die Landwirtschaft in Schottland in eine Phase des Umbruchs, in der zahlreiche Neuerungen und Verbesserungen entwickelt wurden. Um an der Entwicklung zu partizipieren, ließ Russels gleichnamiger Sohn um 1800 einen Gutshof errichten, das heutige Museum. Vermutlich nach einem Entwurf John Smiths wurde um 1830 das Kutscherhaus ergänzt. Zur selben überarbeitete Smith das Herrenhaus grundlegend. Im Laufe des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde das Herrenhaus aufgegeben und verfiel zur heutigen Ruine. Der Distrikt Banff and Buchan (heute Teil von Aberdeenshire) ließ die ehemaligen Stallungen zwischen 1976 und 1980 restaurieren. Am 21. Juni 1980 eröffnete der britische Innenminister William Whitelaw das Museum feierlich. Zu Beginn der 1990er Jahre wurde die nahegelegene Hareshowe Farm, die 1935 errichtet wurde, abgetragen und auf dem Gelände wiederaufgebaut. Beschreibung Das 4000 ha umfassende Anwesen Aden nimmt den Raum zwischen Old Deer und Mintlaw ein. Das Museum mit Park nutzt 92 ha des Anwesens. Herzstück des Museums sind die ehemaligen Stallungen des Herrenhauses. Sie beschreiben einen Halbkreis um einen runden Platz und gehören damit zu den wenigen Exemplaren gerundeter landwirtschaftlicher Komplexe in Schottland. Das zweistöckige Gebäude war ursprünglich größer geplant, wurde jedoch nicht vollständig realisiert. Mittig, oberhalb der Remisen, ragt ein vierstöckiger Taubenturm auf. Er schließt mit einer Kuppel mit dorischer Laterne. Neben dem Komplex befinden sich das zweistöckige Kutscherhaus und die verschiedenen Werkstätten. Alle Gebäude sind aus Bruchstein erbaut und ihre Fassaden mit Harl verputzt. Ihre Dächer sind mit grauem Schiefer eingedeckt.

Langa, Shetland

Langa (Old Norse: Langey ) is the collective name for two uninhabited islands off Hildasay, in Shetland, Scotland. The islands are connected by a tombolo and are separated at high tide. It is not to be confused with the numerous islands called "Linga" in Shetland (- for which see Linga (disambiguation) or Lunga). History The name probably derives from langey, Old Norse for "long island". The island was a separate croft during the 19th century. It had a recorded population of nine in 1841, and 13 in 1881, but was deserted in the 1890s. References
Larbert High School

Larbert High School is a six-year, non-denominational state school in Stenhousemuir, Scotland, United Kingdom (UK). The school is run by Falkirk Council Education Services on behalf of the Scottish Government. Currently, Larbert High are recruiting a new rector, with Jo Wilson currently acting as rector, due to the previous rector, Jon Reid's, departure to become the Director of Education at Falkirk Council. The school was inspected by HM Inspectorate of Education in the 2016/17 session and found to be "Excellent" in the category of "Leadership of Change" and "Very Good" across all other categories. Larbert High was the first school to achieve an "Excellent" rating. At the end of 2023, 96.21% of school leavers entered into a Positive Destination, which was above the Falkirk (94.2%) and Scottish (95.9%) averages. In the 2023/2024 academic year, the school roll was 2057 pupils with expectations of growth in future years to come and reach capacity. It is currently considered as the largest non-denominational secondary school and the second largest in Scotland. The school is secondary to 7 local primary schools, including Stenhousemuir Primary, Larbert Village Primary, Ladeside Primary, Carron Primary, Kinnaird Primary, Carronshore Primary, and Airth Primary. History From 1886 to 1977, the school operated from its primary site on Main Street, Stenhousemuir. In November 1977, an extension to the school was opened at Carrongrange, around 500 metres from the Main Street campus. From 1977 to 2000, the school operated on a split-site basis, and this meant that between lessons, pupils had to walk (potentially up to five times per day), between the two buildings. This was criticised in the inspection of the school in 1999. In 1998, Falkirk Council opted to consolidate the school on the Carrongrange site, removing the need for students to transfer between different buildings. This was funded by the Private Finance Initiative. In early 2000, the school was opened on the one site at Carrongrange. In 2005, the total running costs of the school were £5,852,498 or £3,553 per pupil. In 2019 the school won a 'Parents as Partners in Learning' award at the Scottish Education Awards. In May 2023, Falkirk Council announced that five privately built Falkirk high schools, including Larbert High, would be brought back under council control in August 2025, after data revealed that the Public Private Partnership contracts with Class 98 cost the council £11 million per year.

Inverness Town House

Beim Inverness Town House handelt es sich um das Rathaus der schottischen Stadt Inverness in der Council Area Highland. Das Gebäude wurde 1972 in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Geschichte Duncan Grant of Bught hinterließ der Stadt Inverness 6000 £ zur Errichtung eines neuen Rathauses. Es wurde ein Wettbewerb zum Bau ausgeschrieben, durch welchen das zu diesem Zeitpunkt genutzte Gebäude aus dem Jahre 1708 am selben Standort ersetzt werden sollte. Als Gewinner ging 1876 der Entwurf des Büros Matthews & Lawrie aus der Ausschreibung hervor. Die Bauarbeiten dauerten von 1878 bis 1882. Die Ratskammer wurde bereits 1894 nach einem Entwurf John Hinton Galls erweitert und aufgewertet. 1904 sollte das Rathaus an der Südseite erweitert werden, wozu abermals ein Wettbewerb ausgeschrieben wurde. Der planende Architekt James Robert Rhind fügte seinen Anbau stilgetreu in die Struktur ein. Beschreibung Das Inverness Town House steht an der High Street im historischen Stadtzentrum von Inverness nahe rechten Ness-Ufer. In direkter Umgebung befinden sich Inverness Castle, der Inverness Town Steeple, die Inverness Museum and Art Gallery sowie das Geschäftsgebäude 9–11 High Street. Direkt vor der nordwestexponierten Hauptfassade ist das Marktkreuz von Inverness aufgestellt. Das zweigeschossige Gebäude ist im Baronial-Stil mit Anleihen flämischer Architektur ausgestaltet. Sein Mauerwerk ist aus Sandsteinquadern aufgemauert. Das spitzbogige Hauptportal befindet sich mittig an der sieben Achsen weiten Hauptfassade entlang der High Street. Es ist mit profiliertem Gewände und Wimperg gestaltet. Im Erdgeschoss sind die Fenster als schlichte Nonnenköpfe ausgeführt. Darüber sind quadratische Wappenplatten eingesetzt. Die Nonnenköpfe des Obergeschosses sind elaborierter ornamentiert und von Wimpergen bekrönt. Am Mittelrisalit kragen schlanke Tourellen aus. Ihre schiefergedeckten Kegeldächer sind im Fischschuppenmuster gedeckt. Ebenso sind die Ecktourellen mit oktogonalen Helmen eingedeckt. Im Westgiebel ist eine Platte eingelassen, welche das Wappen des Burghs im Jahre 1686 zeigt. Eine Platte im Ostgiebel zeigt hingegen das Wappen des Stuart-Königs Karl II. Sie wurde von der alten Brücke von Inverness an diesen Ort versetzt.

Holy Trinity Church, Dunoon

Holy Trinity Church is an Episcopalian church building in Dunoon, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is located on Kilbride Road, southwest of the town centre. Constructed in the Gothic Revival style, it is a Category B listed building. The church was built in 1850 by John Henderson. It was extended to the west in 1896 by Alexander Ross. Its bell was cast by John Warner & Sons. History Starting in 1846, Revd. Henry George Pirie held services in a hall in the town centre, for local Scottish Episcopalians. Funds were then raised towards their own church building. Records of donations included £5 from William Gladstone who was later a British Prime Minister. Once a site had been granted near the ancient Celtic St Bride well, a church design was commissioned. Edinburgh architect John Henderson was involved. The first stone was laid on 31 March 1849. The following September the Right Revd. Alexander Ewing, the new Bishop of Argyll, visited the church and opened it for worship. A pipe organ was purchased in 1882. By the 1890s there was insufficient space for the summer congregations. Architect Alexander Ross, of Inverness, was involved in 1894. The nave was increased in size to the west. In the years that followed, further additions included a large western porch (narthex) and a tower and bells. The sanctuary was remodelled some time around 1950. Electric lighting was fitted for Christmas 1944, with contributions from the naval personnel stationed nearby in Innellan. An electric organ replaced the pipe organ in the late 20th century. In 2013, a significant conservation project was embarked upon, largely funded by Historic Scotland and the Heritage Lottery. Rectors Holy Trinity Church has had twenty rectors in its history. Its two most recent rectors went on to become bishops: Andrew Swift in the Diocese of Brechin followed by David Railton in the Diocese of Argyll and the Isles. Graveyard There are monuments to Alexander Reid, a notable figure in the history of Scottish art, and Sir Francis Powell, the Scottish watercolourist.

Law Castle

Law Castle ist ein Tower House in der schottischen Stadt West Kilbride in der Council Area North Ayrshire. 1971 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Law Castle um das Jahr 1468 für Thomas Boyd, 1. Earl of Arran und seine Gemahlin Prinzessin Mary Stewart von Schottland errichtet. Nachdem es über die Jahrhunderte unbewohnt verfiel, wurde es im 20. Jahrhundert restauriert. 1989 wurden Wohnungen in der Festung eingerichtet, die auch als Ferienwohnungen angeboten werden. Beschreibung Das vierstöckige Gebäude liegt auf einem Hügel am Nordostrand von West Kilbride. Es ähnelt den Bauwerken Little Cumbrae Castle, Fairlie Castle und Skelmorlie Castle und weist einen schlichten rechteckigen Grundriss auf. Ebenerdig befindet sich ein Gewölbekeller, von welchem eine Treppe in die oberen Stockwerke führt. Die große Halle im ersten Obergeschoss wurde früher auch als Gerichtssaal genutzt. Auf dem obersten Geschoss sitzt ein kleines Gebäude auf, welches einst die Wachtposten nutzten.

Law Castle

Law Castle is situated on the lower slopes of Law Hill on the edge of West Kilbride, in North Ayrshire, Scotland. It is around 200 metres (660 ft) from the railway station. The castle is a simple rectangular structure with a sloped roof and several large chimneys protruding at each side. It is similar in character to other tower houses located nearby, including Little Cumbrae Castle and Skelmorlie Castle, and is a category A listed building. It was built for Princess Mary, sister of King James III, as a wedding gift upon her marriage in 1467 to Thomas Boyd, Earl of Arran. In 1469 Thomas travelled to Denmark to escort James III's bride Margaret of Denmark, but he was forced to remain abroad as he and his father Lord Boyd were attainted for treason in 1469. The marriage was thereby annulled and Thomas died a few years later, possibly in Antwerp. The castle was recorded as roofless but intact from the later 19th century. In the late 1980s it was purchased by a Mr Philips, who began restoration work on the castle. However, the castle was repossessed in 2002 prior to the restoration being completed, and Historic Scotland took legal action to recover £116,000 in grant funding from Mr Philips. The castle was subsequently bought by David Hutton, who completed the restoration in 2005. References External links Law Castle
