Latheronwheel Bridge Broch

Der Latheronwheel Bridge Broch ist ein Broch in der Ortschaft Latheronwheel in der schottischen Council Area Highland. Die Anlage ist als Scheduled Monument denkmalgeschützt. Beschreibung Der Latheronwheel Bridge Broch liegt nahe dem rechten Ufer des Baches Latheronwheel Burn etwa 750 Meter abseits der Nordküste des Moray Firth am Ortsrand von Latheronwheel. In der Umgebung finden sich zahlreiche weitere Stätten, darunter Knockinnon Castle sowie der Knockinnon Broch, der Latheronwheel House Broch, das Kammergrab Upper Latheron Cairn, der Latheronwheel Long Cairn und der Latheronwheel Chambered Cairn sowie das Promontory Fort Janetstown Fort und der Upper Latheron Broch. Die namensgebende Latheronwheel Bridge befindet sich rund 450 Meter nördlich. Die Reststruktur des eisenzeitlichen Brochs liegt als erdbedeckter, grasüberwachsener Wall am Waldrand vor. Die Anlage wurde im historischen Zeitraum nicht geöffnet. Der sich etwa drei Meter erhebende Wall weist einen Durchmesser von etwa 18 Metern auf. 1911 wurde eine undokumentierte Grabung „vor vielen Jahren“ berichtet. Bei dieser sollen etwa 40 menschliche Schädel freigelegt worden sein. Unbestätigt ist diese Aussage jedoch als zweifelhaft zu betrachten. Spuren dieser Grabung an der Südseite, bei der Segmente der Eingangspassage und der Außenmauer freigelegt wurden, waren 2007 sichtbar. Eine Senke im dritten Quadranten markiert die Position der Eingangspassage. Auch das Zentrum der Anlage weist eine Senke auf. An der Westseite sind etwa zehn Meter einer Umfriedungsmauer erhalten. Eine aus dem Wall ragende Steinplatte könnte auf Außengebäude hindeuten.

Upper Latheron Broch

Der Upper Latheron Broch ist ein Broch nahe der Ortschaft Latheronwheel in der schottischen Council Area Highland. Die Anlage ist als Scheduled Monument denkmalgeschützt. Beschreibung Der Upper Latheron Broch liegt etwa 450 Meter abseits der Nordküste des Moray Firth rund einen Kilometer südwestlich von Latheronwheel. Die A9 passiert, entlang der Küste verlaufend, den Broch in wenigen Metern Entfernung. Südwestlich befindet sich die Ruine von Knockinnon Castle sowie der Knockinnon Broch, während das Kammergrab Upper Latheron Cairn, der Latheronwheel Long Cairn und der Latheronwheel Chambered Cairn sowie das Promontory Fort Janetstown Fort östlich gelegen sind. Nördlich steht der Latheronwheel House Broch. Die Reststruktur des eisenzeitlichen Brochs liegt als erdbedeckter, grasüberwachsener Wall an einem Hang vor. Die Anlage wurde in historischen Zeiten nicht geöffnet. Der sich etwa drei Meter erhebende Wall weist einen Durchmesser von etwa 17 Metern auf. An der Ostflanke liegen bis zu vier Lagen den Trockenmauerwerks des Upper Latheron Brochs frei. Sowohl südöstlich als auch nordwestlich des Brochs finden sich Spuren weiterer Strukturen, die möglicherweise zeitgenössisch sind.

Breckness House

Breckness House, sometimes known as Breckness Castle, is the site of the 17th-century mansion, chapel and burial ground, built by George Graham (1565–1643), the Bishop of Orkney. It is located near Stromness, Orkney in Scotland. Historic Environment Scotland established the site as a scheduled monument in 1957. Description Breckness House is the ruined two-storey mansion built by the Bishop of Orkney, George Graham in 1633. It can be found on the southwest coast of Mainland, Orkney, about 3 km west of the town of Stromness. The house is a large L-shaped building and was built with rubble and clay. The remaining walls stand two storeys high. The house's central block measures 6.89 m (22.6 ft) by 12.67 m (41.6 ft). A wing to the central structure extends 8.10 m (26.6 ft) north at the east end of the central building and is 7.28 m (23.9 ft) wide. There is an enclosure visible on the south of the house that was most likely a garden. The entrance to the house originally displayed a panel with the arms and crest of Bishop Graham and the date of 1633. The panel was later removed because of the house's deteriorating condition and is now in Skaill House. Inside the house was a newel staircase that led to the first floor and doorways to the kitchen wing and the ground floor rooms. The first ground floor room has a fireplace and the second, larger room accessed the kitchen. The upper floor of the wing consists of a single room, used as a garderobe. The first floor of the central block contained two rooms. There was probably an attic in the roof. History Graham was the last Bishop to build a house on Orkney. He held the bishopric for over thirty years, from 1616 to 1638. Along with all the Scottish bishops at the time, Graham was removed from his see on 18 November 1638. He died in 1643. Historic Environment Scotland established the site as a scheduled monument in 1957. The monument consists of the 17th century estate and the remains of an earlier chapel and burial ground. A portion of this scheduled area covers a prehistoric settlement. The site of the chapel is visible in a small, elevated area south of Breckness House. East-west lying burials have been identified near the chapel. The broch which lies underneath the site has very little remaining of the original structure. In 2001, a stone was discovered near an old field wall, in an area near the house. The damaged stone contained a portion of a runic inscription, which was too short to translate.

Isle Tower

Isle Tower also known as Lochar Tower and Bankend Tower is a 16th-century ruined tower house located in the north of Bankend in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. It was a property of the Maxwell family. History The building is mentioned in a 1560s English report and was built around 1565 at which time William Maxwell was resident. Lord Scrope burned the tower in 1570. William's successor Edward Maxwell of Isle reconstructed the building in 1622, with a stair wing being added to its north east side. It appears to have been abandoned soon after the death of Robert Maxwell, 2nd Earl of Nithsdale in 1667. The building is in a state of complete ruin, a considerable part of the south west wall having fallen, but the corners as yet remain nearly of their original height. The interior is choked with debris almost as high as the first floor. The castle measures about 29 feet 2 inches by 22 feet, with a staircase tower projecting from the north-west front about 9 feet 4 inches. The doorway is in the re-entering angle, and has the usual bar-hole, with the recess for lamp adjoining. The walls are about 3 feet 4 inches thick, and on the ground floor (which appears to have been vaulted) are pierced with shot-holes on all sides except towards the Lochar Water, where there is a window about 18 inches wide. The shot-holes measure on the exterior 19 inches wide by 6 inches high. The doorway was defended by a hoarding, the corbels for supporting which still remain. Most of the south east end of the tower had collapsed by the end of the 19th century and the stair wing fell in 1969. References
Broch von Levenwick

Der Broch von Levenwick (auch Blouid genannt) liegt südöstlich von Levenwick, auf der Dunrossness Halbinsel im Süden der Shetlandinseln Mainland in Schottland. Der früheste Hinweis auf den Broch stammt von Robert Sibbald, (1641–1722) der Ruinen zweier Festungen auf einem Felsen nahe am Meer beschreibt, die er für von den Pikten erbaut hält. Levenwick wurde 1869 und 1888 von Gilbert Goudie (1843–1918) ausgeräumt. Der Innenraum hat sich seither zum Teil wieder mit Trümmern gefüllt, so dass die unteren Besonderheiten verdeckt sind. Zerstörungen wurden auch durch den Februarsturm von 1900 erzeugt. Die Trümmerbeseitigung von G. Goudie begann in der Mitte und offenbarte eine an der Innenmauer des Brochs errichtete breite Sekundärmauer, die im Norden, Osten und Süden Öffnungen aufweist, die offenbar zu Öffnungen in der äußeren Brochmauer führen. Goudie bezeichnet die „sekundäre Innenwand“ als „Scarcement“ – ein Begriff der ursprünglich dem schmalen Vorsprung an der Innenseite der primären Brochwand vorbehalten war. Laut Goudie lag der mit Sperrmauerwerk gefüllte, heute nicht mehr sichtbare, etwa 90 cm breite Hauptzugang an der Ostseite. Die Sperrung gehört möglicherweise zu einer späteren Nutzungsphase, als die obere Brochmauer bereits in Trümmern lag und die Treppe mit Schutt bedeckt war. In zeitgenössischen Berichten werden keine Spuren von Türanschlägen bzw. Wächterzellen erwähnt und Goudies Plan zeigt auch keine. In situ gefunden wurden zwei Stürze des langen Zugangs, einer am inneren Ende des primären Durchgangs und einer am inneren Ende der Sekundärmauer. An der Nordseite fand Goudie den Zugang zu einer intramuralen Treppe, zu dem eine breite, dreieckige Lücke durch die Sekundärwand führte. Der Treppenzugang und der nach rechts abbiegende Gang, sind noch sichtbar. Die Stätte ist von einem niedrigen Wall umgeben, wahrscheinlich mit Zugang an der Nordseite. Auf der Westseite versperrt ein Gewirr unförmiger Gebäude zwischen dem Broch und dem Wall den Weg zum Broch, so dass man im Uhrzeigersinn um den Broch zu seinem Eingang gelangte.

Knowe of Burrian (Frotoft)

Der Knowe of Burrian ist ein stark beschädigter Broch in Frotoft auf der Orkneyinsel Rousay in Schottland. Ein Teil des küstennahen Brochs wurde vom Meer abgerissen und der Rest wurde als Steinbruch missbraucht, aber Bruchstücke von Mauerwerk entlang des Ufers zeigen, dass es sich um einen Broch handelt. Ein steiler, etwa 2,0 m hoher Hügel stellt den Nordabschnitt dar. Ein äußerer Wall liegt hinter einem Naust auf der Westseite (ein entsprechender Naust liegt auf der Ostseite). Der Name Knowe of Burrian kommt auch bei einem Broch in Netherbrough (Garth Farm) auf Mainland vor.

Backies Broch

Backies Broch is an Iron Age broch in Sutherland, Scotland, roughly 1.6 miles (2.6 km) north of Golspie. Name The broch takes its name from the much smaller crofting settlement, Backies, which sits on the hillside below it. Backies likely derives from the Old Norse bakki, meaning "bank" or "edge". Description Historic Environment Scotland describe Backies Broch as a "complex stone-built substantial roundhouse, dating from the Iron Age". The broch sits on a prominent knoll overlooking the valley formed by the Golspie Burn, 180 metres (590 ft) above sea level. Backies Broch has a total diameter of 18.25 metres (59.9 ft). Its stone walls measure up to 5 metres (16 ft) thick, creating an interior space roughly 8.25 metres (27.1 ft) in diameter. At one point, the broch would have had multiple storeys, reached by an intramural stair that was still intact entering the 20th century. Beyond the broch are traces of a large outer wall, alongside several outbuildings. Excavation and scheduling Backies Broch, along with nearby Carn Liath, was first excavated in the mid-19th century under the orders of the Duke of Sutherland. Unfortunately, much of its construction appears to have been damaged during the excavation process. The broch was not listed as a scheduled monument until 1939. While its relative remoteness has protected it from overtourism, it has also made it harder to preserve, compared to the much more accessible Carn Liath. References
An Dun

An Dun is an Iron Age broch or dun at the south-east of Loch Ardbhair, Highland, Scotland, UK. An Dun stands on an isolated rock at the south end of Loch Ardbhair, a sea inlet, and on its eastern shore, about 100 foot (30 m) from the mainland, to which it is connected by a rough causeway of boulders, now part displaced. The broch is only approachable at low tide, and at high water there is little space between the edge of the rock and the base of the building. It is a dry-built circular construction with an interior diameter of 24 feet (7.3 m), the wall being 10 feet 6 inches (3.20 m) thick near the base. The entrance passage is from the south, only 2 feet (0.61 m) wide at the interior end, and remains to a height of 3 feet 6 inches (1.07 m) on the left side. Only one or two of the lowest courses of the outside wall of the building remain visible in places, and the rest is concealed by ruins. The interior has probably been cleared of debris, and there the wall exists to a height of 7 feet 4 inches (2.24 m). A 1911 survey of the broch reported that "there are no signs of chambers in the walls, nor of galleries, the building is poor, the stones are not carefully selected and laid, and the numerous interstices are packed with small angular fragments". A later, 1980, appraisal notes that "reservations on it being a broch are caused by its small size, and absence of evidence of intra-mural chambers. On balance it is more likely to be a broch." An Dun was designated a Scheduled Monument on 14 October 1938. References
Harthill Royal F.C.

Harthill Royal Football Club is a Scottish football club based in the Greenrigg area of West Lothian (adjoining Harthill in North Lanarkshire). Previously an amateur side called Harthill Royal Bar, the club shortened their name on joining the Scottish Junior Football Association, East Region in 1992. Club colours are royal blue. Their Gibbshill Park ground was previously the home of Polkemmet Juniors F.C. (1937–1954, 1974–1988) and known as Beechbank Park. The SJFA restructured prior to the 2006–07 season, and Royal found themselves in the 15-team East Region, South Division. Harthill spent all of their time in the bottom tier of the Juniors, with a best finish of 3rd in 2007–08. For the 2021–22 season, they joined West of Scotland Football League in the senior pyramid and were placed in Division Four. Despite their ground's West Lothian location being in the East of Scotland Football League catchment area, the club was allowed to choose which league to join due to the village of Harthill being situated in North Lanarkshire. However, the club then returned to the East of Scotland Football League, joining the Third Division for the 2022–23 season.

Hazlehead Academy

Hazlehead Academy (Scottish Gaelic: Àrd-Sgoil Cheann Challtain), formerly known as Central School then Aberdeen Academy, is a comprehensive secondary school in Aberdeen, Scotland. It has five main feeder primary schools, Airyhall Primary School, Fernielea Primary School, Hazlehead Primary School, Kingsford Primary School and Countesswells Primary School – in addition to this, pupils who have been part of a Gaelic unit at Aberdeen's Gilcomstoun Primary School can transfer to the school, which offers Gaelic as part of the curriculum. History Hazlehead Academy is a six-year comprehensive school on the western edges of Aberdeen, adjacent to Hazlehead Park. It has a history stretching back for over 100 years. In 1901, Aberdeen School Board built Central School on the corner of Schoolhill and Belmont Street, on a site now occupied by a shopping centre named The Academy. In 1954, the school was renamed Aberdeen Academy. When the school closed, the pupils were moved to the new Hazlehead Academy. Hazlehead Academy was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 7 October 1970. Plans were laid towards the end of the 1950s. The education committee at the time had under consideration the reorganisation of the existing Secondary provision of 3 Senior Secondary schools and a number of Junior Secondary schools into 10 co-educational comprehensives. Hazlehead Academy would become one of these senior secondaries and then a comprehensive school. The current head teacher is Jim Purdie who took up post in August 2016. The school roll is around 1,100 pupils. In 2012, the school was selected as the Aberdeen base for the Scottish Football Association's Performance Schools, a system devised to support the development of the best young talented footballers across the country. There are seven such schools across Scotland. Notable former pupils Stuart Armstrong: professional footballer, currently playing for Southampton F.C. Fraser Fyvie: professional footballer, currently playing for Cove Rangers F.C. Lee Mair: professional footballer, notably formerly of Aberdeen F.C. and St Mirren F.C.

Heart of Scotland services

Heart of Scotland services, commonly referred to as Harthill services, is a motorway service station on the M8 motorway between junctions 4a & 5, at Harthill, in North Lanarkshire, Scotland (although less than 1 mile (1.6 km) from the boundary with West Lothian and roughly equidistant between Edinburgh and Glasgow, slightly closer to the latter). It is owned by Transport Scotland and is leased to BP. It used to be leased to RoadChef. The Service Station is the only one on the M8 Motorway, and can be busy, especially at peak times. When opened in 1971, it was Scotland's first service station. It was known as Harthill Service Area. The original 1971 pedestrian bridge across the motorway was replaced by a modern helical truss structure in 2008. The sections of the new bridge were fabricated off site and transported to site where they were assembled and lifted into place in one piece on 4 October 2008. The £5 million bridge opened to pedestrians and cyclists on 26 November 2008. See also The centre of Scotland References External links Media related to Harthill Services at Wikimedia Commons
Helensburgh No. 2 Reservoir

The reservoir was of the non-impounding variety. It is no longer part of the local water supply system and, as with reservoir No. 3, is drained and no longer holds water. The earthen dam is 9 metres high and records show it was constructed before 1875.

Antermony Loch

Anternomy Loch ist ein Süßwassersee in den schottischen am Nordrand des Central Belts. Beschreibung Der See liegt am Fuß der Campsie Fells etwa einen Kilometer östlich des Dorfes Milton of Campsie und etwa zwölf Kilometer nordöstlich von Glasgow in der Council Area East Dunbartonshire. Entlang seines Südufers erstreckt sich der Weiler Auchenreoch. Die durch Auchenreoch verlaufende A891 erschließt den See. Bei einer Länge von 640 Metern weist der Antermony Loch eine maximale Breite von 430 Metern auf. Der Antermony Loch liegt auf einer Höhe von 57 Metern. Aus der Seefläche von 14 Hektar und seiner mittleren Tiefe von 4,1 Metern ergeben sich ein Volumen von rund 0,56 Mio. Kubikmetern und ein Umfang von rund zwei Kilometern. Der See speist sich aus einem Einzugsgebiet von 99 Hektar. Es besteht vornehmlich aus Grasflächen (74 %), während Grundwasser 14 % des Zuflusses ausmacht. Vom Südufer des Antermony Loch fließt ein unbenannter Bach ab, der über Kelvin und Clyde in den Firth of Clyde entwässert. Einzelnachweise Weblinks
Antermony Loch

Antermony Loch is a lochan (small loch) in East Dunbartonshire, Scotland, at the edge of the village of Auchenreoch. Its name may be a corruption of the Scottish Gaelic elements uachdar ("summit, top") + monadh ("moorland"), i.e. "Loch of the Moorland Summit". The area was previously referred to as "Achterminnie" as late as the 1900s. The lochan is mostly surrounded by pasture. Caurnie Angling Club (est. 1925) sits on its northern shore, with a jetty for small fishing boats. The club has held the lease for the lochan since 1943, subject for renewal in 2043. Antermony Loch is home to several native species of waterfowl, and has a large stock of brown trout. Accounts from the 18th century record a possible Medieval motte known as "King's Hill" on the lochan's southwest shore. However, recent quarrying has destroyed any archaeological evidence. References
Herdmanflat Hospital

Herdmanflat Hospital was a psychiatric hospital in Aberlady Road, Haddington, Scotland. It was operated by NHS Lothian. History The hospital was located at a site which was once known as Herdmanflat Farm. The facility was designed by Peddie and Kinnear and opened as the East Lothian District Asylum in 1866. A dining hall was added in 1890 and several villas were added in 1908. It joined the National Health Service in 1948. After the Garleton Unit at Herdmanflat Hospital had been upgraded at a cost of £250,000, mental health services transferred from Edenhall Hospital in Musselburgh. This created a "one-stop shop for older people's mental health services" for the whole of East Lothian at Herdmanflat Hospital. In 2014 NHS Lothian proposed creating a community hospital on the site of the old Roodlands General Hospital. After all services moved to the new East Lothian Community Hospital, the Herdmanflat Hospital closed in 2020. References
