Ardview Hotel

Das Ardview Hotel ist ein Hotel in der schottischen Stadt Port Ellen auf der Hebrideninsel Islay. Die Gebäude befinden sich an der Bucht Loch Leòdamais, um welche sich Port Ellen schmiegt. 1980 wurde das Hotel in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der Kategorie C aufgenommen. Beschreibung Das Gebäude befindet sich am Frederick Crescent, einer der Hauptstraßen der Planstadt Port Ellen, die um die gesamte Bucht herumführt. Die gegenüberliegende Straßenseite ist nicht bebaut, da nach einem schmalen Grünstreifen bereits die Bucht beginnt, sodass das Hotel von Wasser aus sichtbar ist. Das Gebäude weist in südlicher Richtung auf die Landspitze Rubha a’ Chuinnlein. Diese wird auch als The Ard bezeichnet, worher sich der Name des Hauses (deutsch: Hotel Ardblick) ableitet. Das Gebäude besteht aus zwei, in geschlossener Bauweise errichteten Einzelhäusern, welche heute optisch nicht mehr zu trennen sind. Allenfalls das Vorhandensein zweier Kamine deutet darauf hin. Bei dem östlich gelegenen, kleineren Haus handelt es sich um das ältere der beiden. Die Fassade des Ardview Hotels ist in der landestypischen Harling-Technik verputzt. Auf dem Erdgeschoss sitzt ein Obergeschoss mit zwei Zwerchgiebeln auf, dass mit einem schiefergedeckten Satteldach abschließt. Im Schankraum ist das freiliegende Deckengebälk zu sehen.

Fuiay

Fuiay (Scottish Gaelic: Fùidheigh) is an island in Scotland. It is one of ten islands in the Sound of Barra, a Site of Community Importance for conservation in the Outer Hebrides. Its area is 84 ha and the unnamed highest eminence reaches 107 m. It is located immediately to the west of Flodday and about 1.5 km southwest of Hellisay. Barra lies across the waters of North Bay. The island had six households located along a "street" at Rubh' an Aiseig (English: "ferry headland") in the north west at some point, probably in the early 19th century. It has been uninhabited since about 1850. There is a tidal inlet here that may have been an effective fish-trap. The name may be from the Norse for "house island" or possibly a mixture of the Gaelic bhuidhe, meaning "yellow" and the Norse øy meaning "island". Fuiay is one of several uninhabited islands off the northeast coast of Barra and other islands in the vicinity include Orosay, Fuday and Gighay. The sea to the north west is peppered with small islets and skerries but there is an anchorage to the north of Rubh' an Aiseig sheltered by the islets of Sgeirislum to the west and Eilean Sheumais to the east. Garbh Lingeigh is a larger islet further to the north in the Sound of Hellisay. Notes and references
Kilberry Castle

Kilberry Castle war eine Burg unmittelbar westlich des Dorfes Kilberry an der Westküste des Bezirks Knapdale in der schottischen Council Area Argyll and Bute. Geschichte Das Tower House mit L-förmigem Grundriss ließ eine Seitenlinie des Clan Campbell 1497 errichten. Bereits 1513 wurde es von einem englischen Piraten zerstört. Die Ruinen wurden in ein heute noch erhaltenes Landhaus integriert, das John Campbell 1844 bauen ließ. 1871 wurde das Landhaus erweitert. Steine Eine Gruppe behauener Steine in der Obhut von Historic Scotland sind in einem extra für diesen Zweck erbauten Unterstand auf dem Burggelände aufgestellt. Die Steine, zu denen auch Kreuzsteine und mittelalterliche Grabplatten gehören, kamen ursprünglich aus der mittelalterlichen Pfarrkirche des Ortes, die im 17. Jahrhundert zerstört wurde.

Kilberry Castle

Kilberry Castle is a Category B listed country house near Kilberry in South Knapdale in the county of Argyll, in western Scotland on the shores of the Sound of Jura. History and architecture The castle is said to have been built at the end of the fifteenth century. The MacMurachies are understood to have owned the castle under the Lords of the Isles and they were followed by the Earls of Argyll. Eventually the Campbells of Kilberry took up residence in the early 16th century. During the civil war the castle was besieged by royalist forces between 1643 and 1645. In 1733 the Campbell mausoleum was built by Dugald Campbell 6th of Kilberry. The castle was accidentally burned down in 1772 or 1773. Although it continued to be occupied, a proper restoration was not undertaken until 1844 when John Campbell, 5th of Knockbury and 9th of Kilberry commissioned its rebuilding in 1844 by the architect David Bryce. John Campbell, 6th of Knockbury and 10th of Kilberry commissioned further extensions in 1873 by Charles Kinnear of Edinburgh. The works were carried out by Mr Harris, builder of St Andrew’s. Following the death of Lt.-Col. John Campbell, 7th of Knockbury and 11th of Kilberry in 1928 the house was advertised for sale at which point it was described as having an estate of 7,000 acres (11 sq mi). John Campbell's daughter Marion Campbell (later a noted archaeologist) inherited Kilberry Estate when she was 8 years old, following her father's death. The Kilberry Estate was sold to an older cousin, but Campbell regained possession of it once she turned 18. In 2021, Kilberry Castle was advertised for sale and has since been reintegrated into the Kilberry Estate. The castle, along with other historic buildings on the estate, is currently undergoing restoration. The renovation work is expected to be completed by 2027, with the castle set to be reinstated as a private residence for its current family owners. References
Kilbirnie Ladeside F.C.

Kilbirnie Ladeside Football Club are a Scottish football club, from Kilbirnie, North Ayrshire. Based at Valefield Park, they currently play in the West of Scotland Football League. Their main rivals are Beith Juniors. The club nickname, The Blasties, derives from a Robert Burns poem, The Inventory, written in 1786. However, a more likely reason for the nickname is the proximity of the club to the nearby blast furnaces of the former Glengarnock Steelworks. History Kilbirnie won their first Scottish Junior Cup title in 1952 with a 1–0 victory over Camelon Juniors at Hampden Park, with over 69,000 fans in attendance. The team's Goalkeeper on the day was Tom McQueen, father of future Scotland international Gordon McQueen. In 2020, Kilbirnie moved from the SJFA, to join the pyramid system in Scottish football as one of the inaugural members of the West of Scotland Football League. On 10 October 2020, the club announced they would not be participating in the inaugural season of the West of Scotland League due to concerns relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, citing the inability of fans to be able to attend games as a huge issue for the club. Valefield Park Valefield Park is home to Kilbirnie Ladeside. The average attendance is around two hundred (varying for cup games). History The Blasties' (the nickname of Kilbirnie Ladeside) original home of Ladeside Park on Mill Road was partly built on by the army during World War II and the club relocated to Valefield, the home of Glengarnock Vale, another local side. Vale did not re-appear after the war and Valefield Park became Ladeside's permanent ground. The name 'Ladeside' derives from the lade that runs near the ground from the old Nether Mill at Knoxsville Road near the Miller's Knowe. Structure Although the ground is small it can comfortably hold up to six hundred spectators. On the north-west side there are two main stands which were both constructed at the start of the new millennium. The ground has around four main turnstiles, two of which are located on Kirkland Road.

Kilchuimen Academy

Kilchuimen Academy is a small secondary school located in Fort Augustus in Scotland. It shares its campus with neighbouring Kilchuimen Primary. The school has approximately 80 students enrolled. In 2009 the school saw the arrival of a new M.U.G.A (multi use games area) for the local community to use. In late 2010 the school received a grant of £18,000 to send its students to partnered schools in the Netherlands and Germany. The German partnered school is Gymnasium Querfurt.
Kilconquhar Loch

Kilconquhar Loch is a Scottish freshwater loch. This small shallow loch is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and is located beside the village of the same name in the east of Fife, within a mile to the north of the coastal village of Elie. The loch appears to be a comparatively recent feature, the earliest reference being to "the gret loch callit of auld the Reidmyre" (Scots: red or reed peat bog) in 1599 and referred to as Keanwchar Loch by 1654 in Blaeu's Atlas Novus. Samples of the loch bed support its origin as a bog and there is archaeological evidence and a local tradition that fuel was extracted. Westward outflow to the Cocklemill Burn is said to have been blocked by sand in 1624 or 1625 but it is drained to the south-east by the largely underground Loch Run into Elie harbour and eastwards to the Inverie Burn. It is an approximate rounded square in shape, and is unusual in that it has no visible inflow, yet is not stagnant. It is the subject of a study by St. Andrews University. It has been theorised that an underground spring feeds into the loch, maintaining a degree of freshness sufficient to offset its stagnation. In former times it was reported to produce large pike and eels, although this is now no longer verifiable as no fishing is allowed, due to its SSSI status. Large numbers of overwintering wildfowl use Kilconquhar Loch as a roost. It was charted during the Bathymetrical Survey of the Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland, constructed under the direction of Sir John Murray and Laurence Pullar during the years 1897 to 1909. References
Kilcoy Castle

Kilcoy Castle ist ein Tower House bei Muir of Ord auf der Halbinsel Black Isle in der schottischen Grafschaft Ross-shire, die heute Teil der Council Area Highland ist. Das Gebäude mit Z-förmigem Grundriss stammt aus der Zeit vor 1618, möglicherweise sogar aus dem Jahre 1580 (dann zeitgenössisch mit Dalcross Castle). Geschichte Die Burg ließ die Familie Stewart schon 1580 errichten und Alexander Mackenzie, dritter Sohn von Colin Cam Mackenzie of Kintail, ließ sie um 1618 fertigstellen. Da er die Witwe von Sir James Stewart von Kilcoy am 15. August 1611 geheiratet hatte, bekam er eine Charta für die Ländereien von Kilcoy vom 18. Juli 1616 und eine weitere Charta für das Baronat Kilcoy vom 29. Januar 1618. Das Anwesen wurde in der männlichen Linie der Mackenzies von Kilcoy bis zum Tod von Sir Evan Mackenzie, 2. Baronet, 1883 vererbt. Dann erbte dessen älteste Tochter, die einen Colonel Burton heiratete. Das Tower House verfiel Ende des 18. und im 19. Jahrhundert. 1891 wurde es von den Architekten Ross und McBeth aus Inverness restauriert, die ebenfalls einen vierstöckigen Flügel nördlich anbauten. Beschreibung Die Burg ist ein Tower House mit Z-förmigem Grundriss. Es hat vier Stockwerke und zwei Rundtürme an gegenüberliegenden Ecken. Sie hat Staffelgiebel. Das Dach ist mit Schiefer gedeckt und hat Gauben, vermutlich vom Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts. Man findet viele Schießscharten. Heute Kürzlich wurde die Burg verkauft. Ihre Gärten sind regelmäßig unter dem Scotland’s-Gardens-Programm öffentlich zugänglich. Historic Scotland hat das Tower House als historisches Bauwerk der Kategorie A gelistet.

Kilcoy Castle

Kilcoy Castle is a 16th-century castle near Muir of Ord and Tore on the Black Isle, in Ross and Cromarty, Scotland. Kilcoy Castle is a ‘Z’ plan fortalice dating from no later than 1618 and possibly founded as early as 1580 (contemporary with Dalcross Castle QV). History The castle was built beginning as early as 1580 by the Stewart family, and completed by Alexander Mackenzie, third son of Colin Cam Mackenzie of Kintail around 1618. As a result of his marriage (contract 15 August 1611) to the widow of Sir James Stewart of Kilcoy, he had a charter of the lands of Kilcoy dated 18 July 1616 and a further charter of the Barony of Kilcoy dated 29 January 1618. The estates passed through the male line of the Mackenzies of Kilcoy until the death in 1883 of Sir Evan Mackenzie, 2nd Baronet, when they were inherited by his eldest daughter, who married a Colonel Burton. It fell into a ruinous state during the late 18th and 19th Centuries and was restored in 1891 by the Inverness Architects Ross and McBeth, who added a four-storey wing to the north. The castle was restored from a ruinous condition in about 1891. Construction The castle is a Z-plan tower house. It has five storeys with two round corner towers. The slated roof has crow-stepped gables and (probably late 17th century) dormer-head windows. There are many gun loops. Present day The castle is owned by relations of the original Stewart builders of Kilcoy. Its gardens are periodically open to the public under Scotland’s Gardens Scheme. The Menkings of Kilcoy maintain the Castle as their official residence but are rarely in residence. The castle is used primarily for evangelical and charitable purposes and regularly hosts events for a variety of Christian and local charities. Mark Menking of Kilcoy, the current Baron of Kilcoy is heir to the Lordship of the Garioch (in Aberdeenshire) currently held by George David Menking of Garioch. The Garioch Charitable Trust holds its annual trustee meetings at the castle. References
Killantringan Lighthouse

Killantringan Lighthouse is a lighthouse located near Portpatrick in Dumfries and Galloway, south-west Scotland. The light came into operation in 1900, and served as a waypoint in the North Channel of the Irish Sea. The name Killantringan is derived from Cill shaint Ringain, 'St Ringan's chapel'; Ringan is a mediaeval variation of Ninian. The lighthouse is protected as a category B listed building. History Sanction for the Northern Lighthouse Board to build the lighthouse was granted in 1897. It was designed by David Alan Stevenson. The engineer's report specified a powerful fog signal was also required at the site. The lighthouse entered service on 1 October 1900. The light gave a flashing signal of two flashes in quick succession every 1⁄2 minute. When used, the fog signal was 3 blasts: low, low, high in quick succession every 1+1⁄2 minutes. The light was automated in 1988, with the fog signal having been discontinued the previous year. Following a comprehensive review of services by the UK's three General Lighthouse Authorities in 2005, it was decided that Killantringan was surplus to requirements – serving primarily as a waypoint. The Lighthouse has been fully decommissioned, and along with the Lightkeepers House, is in private ownership See also List of lighthouses in Scotland List of Northern Lighthouse Board lighthouses References External links Media related to Killantringan Lighthouse at Wikimedia Commons Killantringan Lighthouse
Phare de Killantringan

Le phare de Killantringan est un phare situé au nord de Portpatrick (en gaélique écossais : Port Phàdraig), dans le comté de Dumfries and Galloway dans le sud-ouest de l'Écosse. Le nom Killantringan est dérivé de « Cill shaint Ringain » - la chapelle de St Ringan, Ringan étant une variation médiévale de Ninian. Il est maintenant protégé en tant que monument classé du Royaume-Uni de catégorie B. Ce phare était géré par le Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB) à Édimbourg,l'organisation de l'aide maritime des côtes de l'Écosse. Histoire L'accord pour la construction du phare par la Northern Lighthouse Board a été donné en 1897. Il a été construit par l'ingénieur civil écossais David Alan Stevenson. Il est entré en service le 1er octobre 1900 pour marquer de point de passage entre le Canal du Nord de la mer d'Irlande. Le rapport de l'ingénieur exigeait aussi l'installation d'un puissant signal de brume sur le site. Le phare émettait un signal clignotant de deux éclairs en succession rapide toutes les 30 secondes. Lorsqu'on l'utilisait le signal de brouillard celui-ci émettait 3 explosions (un faible, un faible, un fort) en succession rapide toutes les 90 secondes. La lumière a été automatisée en 1988 et le signal de brouillard abandonné l'année précédente. À la suite d'un examen complet des autorités générales des phares du Royaume-Uni en 2005, il a été décidé que Killantringan était excédentaire aux exigences actuelles, ne servant principalement que de point de repère. Le phare a été désactivé en janvier 2007, la lampe et les lentilles ont été enlevées et données à l'étranger, et la station vendue.

Killantringan

Killantringan är en fyrplats nära Portpatrick i Dumfries and Galloway i sydvästra Skottland. Fyren är i dag ej i drift. Fyren grundades 1900 och fungerar som ett landmärke i Nordkanalen i Irländska sjön. Namnet Killantringan kommer från Ringan, eller Ninian's Cill of Cell. Fyren är kulturmärkt som kategori med kategori B. Historia Northern Lighthouse Board beviljade tillstånd att bygga fyren 1897. Den konstruerades av David Alan Stevenson. Ingenjörens rapport angav att en kraftfull mistsignal också krävdes på platsen. Fyren togs i bruk den 1 oktober 1900. Ljuset gav en blinkande signal med två blinkningar i snabb följd varje ½ minut. När den användes gav mistluren 3 signaler: låg, låg, hög i snabb följd var 1 ½ minut. Fyrljuset automatiserades 1988 efter att mistlurens signal hade avbrutits föregående år. Efter en omfattande översyn av fyrtjänster av det brittiska fyrväsendet 2005, beslutades att Killantringan var överflödig och att fyren främst tjänade som sjömärke. Fyrljuset kopplades bort permanent i januari 2007 och fyrljuset med linser blev donerade utomlands. Idag hyrs fyrvaktarens hus ut ihop med ett mindre angränsande hus som självhushåll av de nuvarande ägarna.

Kilmallie Shinty Club

Kilmallie Shinty Club is a shinty team from Caol, Fort William, Scotland. The club most recently achieved prominence in the all-Fort William Camanachd Cup Final in 2005. History The club was founded in 1929 and is named after the parish of Kilmallie, within which the team plays. They were given a pitch at Corpach by James Weir of Annat Farm, where games took place until the pulp mill opened and they relocated to Canal Parks in Caol. The club has never folded or amalgamated with another club. Having won the MacGillvary Senior League in 1959 and 1960, the club won the Camanachd Cup in 1964 against Inveraray in Fort William but then fell on hard times, falling as low as North Division Four. The club made progress by a concentration on youth policy and they climbed the leagues and are now a fixture in the Premier Division. The club then reached the Camanachd Cup Final in 2005 where they were defeated 3–2 by Fort William Shinty Club at An Aird, Fort William. Whilst 2007 saw the first team's top-flight status come to an end despite a late season rally, the second team gained a revenge of sorts for the Camanachd Cup in 2005 by defeating Fort William Reserves in the Sutherland Cup Final on 17 August 2007 in Oban and also won the Strathdearn Cup the same year. The club finished second in North Division One in 2008 and 2009. The club won North Division One in 2010 and 2013. New league structuring by the Camanachd Association prevented Kilmallie being promoted in 2013 and the club being condemned to the National Division looking for promotion to the Premier League yet again. They were denied promotion again, but this time on the park, in 2015, when after a ten-week lay-off they faced Kingussie in a promotion-relegation play-off. They were defeated 2–0. The club went on to win National Division One in strong style in 2016. The club also won the National Division in 2018 and again gained promotion to The Premier League for season 2019. There's high hopes for the current Kilmallie squad and newly appointed manager John Stewart, to compete at the highest level in shinty once again. Kilmallie has had a number of successes over the years including the Camanachd Cup in 1964, the MacTavish Cup in 1959,1961,1967 and 1969, and the Balliemore Cup in 1992, 1993, 2016 and 2018 Location The pitch is on the north west side of Caol. On one side it is bounded by the Caledonian Canal and on the other side is Loch Linnhe.
