Sands of Forvie

Die Sands of Forvie sind ein Naturschutzgebiet (Forvie National Nature Reserve) etwa 20 km nördlich von Aberdeen in Aberdeenshire in Schottland. Das 734 Hektar große Gebiet beinhaltet eines der geomorphologisch aktivsten Wanderdünensysteme im Vereinigten Königreich und ist Teil von Natura 2000. Shell Middens In den Sands of Forvie befinden sich piktische Shell Middens (prähistorische Abfallhaufen). Diese Muschelhaufen, beiderseits des Ästuar des Ythan, sind seit mehr als einem Jahrhundert bekannt. Sie sind in der Regel das Ergebnis umfangreicher prähistorischer Aktivitäten. Die jüngsten Ausgrabungen zeigen jedoch, dass mindestens einer der Haufen den Beleg für frühmittelalte Aktivitäten anzeigt. Die Ausgrabungen wurden 2010 auf einem der größten Muschelhaufen (Midden A) an den Sands of Forvie, als Reaktion auf die fortschreitende Erosion durchgeführt. Die Muschelschicht ist 2,9 m stark, über 35 m lang und gliedert sich in zwei Ablagerungsphasen. Der sichtbare Teil ist eine etwa 0,6 m starke Muschelschicht im oberen Teil des erodierenden Abschnitts. Diese lag auf einer bis zu 1,3 m starken Sanddüne, die sich über die früheren Ablagerungen gelegt hatte. Dadurch wurde eine alte Feuerstelle intakt erhalten. Diese bestand aus einer Steinschicht, auf der sich Holzkohle fand. Die Feuerstelle wird als Gargrube zum Öffnen der Muscheln interpretiert, wie sie in vielen ethnographischen Zusammenhängen gefunden wurde. Von der materiellen Kultur der Nutzer fanden sich nur ein oder zwei Steinwerkzeuge. Hingegen gab es von Menschen gestapelte Muschelschalen. Sechs Radiokarbondaten wurden aus verschiedenen Höhen ermittelt. Die Daten waren eine Überraschung, da die niedrigsten Werte bei 325–555 n. Chr. und die höchsten bei 715–985 n. Chr. lagen. Es gab hingegen keine Anzeichen für frühmittelalterliche Aktivitäten im oder um den Muschelhaufen. Dieser Beleg findet Parallelen in Dänemark, wo eine Reihe großer Køkkenmøddinger aus der Eisen- und Wikingerzeit belegt sind. 2011 wurde der Steinkreis von Forvie nach einem Sturm in den Sands freigelegt. Zudem ragen zwei Kerb Cairns (Steinhaufen) durch den Sand auf einem Dünenkamm. Jeder hat einen Durchmesser von 4,6 m und eine Höhe von 0,2 m. Der südlichere wird von einem zusammenhängenden Randsteinring gehalten. Der andere ist mehr mit Sand bedeckt und es ist keine Randdsteinkante zu sehen.

Sauchie Tower

Sauchie Tower, also known as Devon Tower, is a 15th-century tower house in Clackmannanshire, Scotland. The tower is located by the village of Fishcross, 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) north of Sauchie and 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) north of Alloa, close to the River Devon. It is protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument. History The lands of Sauchie were granted by King Robert the Bruce to Henri de Annand, Sheriff of Clackmannan, in 1321. In 1431, Sir James Schaw of Greenock, Comptroller to the King, acquired the lands of Sauchie when he married the heiress Mary de Annand. Sauchie Tower was built by Sir James soon after. His son was appointed Governor of Stirling Castle in 1460. The Schaws held the land into the 17th century, with several members of the family serving in the Scottish royal household. On 5 September 1503, the gardener of Sauchie bought a gift of pears to James IV. Mary, Queen of Scots visited Sauchie and Alloa Tower in May 1565. Around 1631, Alexander Schaw, who was knighted by King Charles I in 1633, built a house in the courtyard to the north-west of the tower. Another house on the estate, Schawpark, was built around 1700, and in 1752, Sauchie passed by marriage to the Cathcart family. Around this time the tower is thought to have been gutted by fire, and was not subsequently lived in. The roof and turrets were destroyed in the second half of the nineteenth century. Old Sauchie House, in the courtyard, was demolished after the estate was bought for coal extraction in the 1930s. The tower was derelict but in good condition in 1950. Schawpark was sold about 1802 to the Earl of Mansfield, just prior to his assuming the position of Lord Lieutenant of Clackmannanshire, but it was demolished in 1961. Proposals for restoration of the tower were first put forward in the 1980s, when a series of excavations were carried out. However, restoration work was never completed. The building is now owned by Clackmannanshire Heritage Trust, which has erected a temporary roof. In 2002, the Friends of Sauchie Tower were formed to promote the restoration of the building. With a Heritage Lottery Fund award of £46,300, the group undertook site clearance, carried out further excavations, and produced a DVD to raise awareness of Sauchie Tower. The tower The tower measures 11.5 by 10.3 metres (38 by 34 ft) and rises four storeys to a corbelled parapet walk, with bartizans (open round towers) at the corners. At the north-west corner is a hexagonal cap-house (a small room covering the top of the stair), with a pyramidal roof. The vaulted basement contains a well, and the main hall is at first-floor level. The tower is 79 feet tall and was surrounded by a moat with a draw-bridge. References
Torre Sauchie

A Torre Sauchie ou Torre Devon (em inglês: Sauchie Tower) é uma torre do século XV, atualmente em ruínas, localizada em Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Escócia. Encontra-se classificada na Categoria A, desde 9 de junho de 1960. História As terras de Sauchie foram concedidas por Roberto I da Escócia a Henri de Annand, Alcaide de Clackmannan, em 1321. Em 1431, Sir James Schaw de Greenock, Controlador da Casa Real, adquiriu as terras de Sauchie ao casar com a herdeira Mary de Annand. A Torre de Sauchie foi construída por Sir James pouco tempo depois. O seu filho foi nomeado Governador do Castelo de Stirling em 1460. A família Schaw manteve a posse das terras até ao século XVII, com vários membros da família a servirem na Casa Real escocesa. A 5 de setembro de 1503, o jardineiro de Sauchie ofereceu um presente de peras a Jaime IV. Mais tarde, em maio de 1565, Maria da Escócia, visitou Sauchie e a Torre de Alloa. Por volta de 1631, Alexander Schaw, que foi armado cavaleiro por Carlos I em 1633, construiu uma casa no pátio a noroeste da torre. Uma outra residência na propriedade, Schawpark, foi edificada cerca de 1700 e, em 1752, Sauchie passou por casamento para a família Cathcart. Pensa-se que, por esta altura, o interior da torre terá sido destruído por um incêndio, não voltando a ser habitada. O telhado e as torres foram destruídos na segunda metade do século XIX. A Old Sauchie House, situada no pátio, foi demolida após a propriedade ter sido adquirida para extração de carvão na década de 1930. Em 1950, a torre encontrava-se abandonada, mas em bom estado de conservação. Schawpark foi vendida por volta de 1802 ao Conde de Mansfield, pouco antes de este assumir o cargo de Lorde Lieutenant de Clackmannanshire, mas acabou por ser demolida em 1961. As propostas para o restauro da torre surgiram inicialmente na década de 1980, altura em que se realizaram várias escavações. Contudo, os trabalhos de restauro nunca foram concluídos. O edifício pertence atualmente ao Clackmannanshire Heritage Trust, que instalou uma cobertura temporária. Em 2002, foi criado o grupo Friends of Sauchie Tower para promover o restauro do edifício. Com uma subvenção de 46,300 libras do Heritage Lottery Fund, o grupo procedeu à limpeza do local, realizou novas escavações e produziu um DVD para sensibilizar o público para a importância da Torre de Sauchie. A torre A torre mede 11,5 por 10,3 metros e eleva-se ao longo de quatro andares até um parapeito de adarve assente em mísulas, com guaritas nos cantos. No canto noroeste, situa-se uma guarita hexagonal com um telhado piramidal. O piso térreo abobadado contém um poço, situando-se o salão principal ao nível do primeiro andar. A torre tem 24 metros de altura e era circundada por um fosso com uma ponte levadiça.

Saughtree railway station

Saughtree railway station is a closed railway station situated a mile north of the hamlet of Saughtree and two miles from the border with England. History Saughtree railway station was on the Border Counties Railway which linked the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, near Hexham, with the Border Union Railway at Riccarton Junction. The first section of the route was opened between Hexham and Chollerford in 1858, the remainder opening in 1862. Services to the station were never frequent, due to its remote location (the nearest settlement being a mile distant) – only a single train each way was timetabled to call on Mondays, Thursdays & Saturdays, to allow the handful of regular passengers to travel to Hawick to shop. The service was suspended altogether on 1 December 1944 as a wartime economy measure, eventually being reinstated in August 1948. The line was closed to passengers by British Railways in October 1956 and completely two years later. The station had a single platform, a stone-built station building, and a siding. The station building and platform have been restored and 400 yards of new track laid.

Scalan

The Scalan was a Scottish Catholic seminary and one of the few places in Scotland where the Catholic faith was kept alive during the anti-Catholic persecutions of the 18th century. History For much of the 18th century, the college at Scalan in the Braes of Glenlivet was the only place in Scotland where young men were trained to be Catholic priests, the so-called "heather priests". From 1717 to 1799, over a hundred were trained despite numerous attacks by Hanoverian soldiers. Scalan was burned to the ground by them on several occasions but was always rebuilt. The college played a vital role in keeping the traditional Catholic faith alive in northern Scotland. It was named after the Gaelic word given to turf-roofed sheilings (Scottish Gaelic: sgàlan) found in the Braes during that period. In 1799, the college was moved to a less remote site, Aquhorthies College, which had larger premises and more accommodation. Alexander Geddes, Scottish theologian and scholar, and his brother, Bishop John Geddes, was among the famous figures who studied or taught at the college. George James Gordon, known as the "heather priest" was educated here and then taught here as a non-Jesuit for many years. The last permanent resident of the Scalan was Sandy Matheson, who died in late 2005. Today Visitors today will note that the college is largely invisible until you are very close to the college, a factor invaluable in evading detection by the Hanoverian soldiers. The Scalan is now a museum and is open all year for visitors. The Scalan Association seeks to promote the preservation of the college of Scalan and its history.

Scone Thistle F.C.

Scone Thistle Football Club are a Scottish junior football club based in Scone, Perth and Kinross. Their home ground is Farquharson Park and club colours are black and red. History The club was founded in 1882 making it the third oldest football club in Perthshire and oldest Perthshire Junior football club. They played in the Perthshire Junior leagues up until the outbreak of World War II. In the early 1960s the Jags became members of the Perthshire Juvenile Football Association (Juvenile football in Scotland was football played by adult players up to the age of 27). In August 1982, during Scone Thistle’s centenary, George Best played twenty minutes for the club against Scone Amateurs; the appearance fee he received helped to pay off an income tax bill. The club were to remain in Juvenile football until 1983 as following the successful winning of the Scottish Juvenile Cup that year the club returned to the ranks of Junior football. Up until the end of the 2005–06 season, they played in the Tayside Premier League of the Scottish Junior Football Association's Eastern Region where they won the Tayside JFA Division One title in season 1994–95, the East Region Tayside Division One in 2002–03 and the Tayside League Cup in 2005–06. The SJFA restructured prior to the 2006–07 season, and Thistle found themselves in the twelve-team East Region Premier League. They were relegated to the East Region Central Division. In April 2012 it was announced that Scone Thistle were returning to the Scottish Junior East Region League after they spent the 2011–12 season in abeyance.

Scotland Street School Museum

Das Scotland Street School Museum ist eine ehemalige Grundschule und heutiges Schulmuseum in der schottischen Stadt Glasgow. 1966 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Geschichte Das Gebäude wurde zwischen 1903 und 1906 als Grundschule erbaut. Den Entwurf lieferte der schottische Architekt Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Die Gesamtkosten beliefen sich auf 14.736 £. Bis in die 1990er Jahre wurde die Schule betrieben und dann zu einem Schulmuseum umfunktioniert. 2019 wurde das Scotland Street School Museum von rund 65.000 Personen besucht. Beschreibung Das Scotland Street School Museum steht an der Scotland Street im Glasgower Süden. Der Jugendstilbau spiegelt Macintoshs Bewunderung der schottischen Renaissancearchitektur wider, die sich auch an seinen Entwürfen des Hill House und der Glasgow School of Art manifestieren. Die nordexponierte Hauptfassade des dreistöckigen Baus aus rotem Sandstein ist sieben Achsen weit. Zu beiden Seiten flankieren sie gerundete Treppentürmen mit flächigen Glaselementen und schiefergedeckten Kegeldächern. An ihren Füßen finden sich geschlechtergetrennte Eingänge. Die unregelmäßigen, gestuften Gebäudeabschlüsse sind mit stilisierten Strebepfeilern gestaltet. Es ragen wuchtige Kamine auf. Die 18 Achsen weite rückwärtige Südfassade ist verhältnismäßig schlicht ausgestaltet.

Scotland Street School Museum

Scotland Street School Museum is a museum of school education in Glasgow, Scotland, in the district of Kingston. It is located in a former school designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh between 1903 and 1906. The building is one of Glasgow's foremost architectural attractions. It is located next to the Shields Road subway station. The building features in the video of the Deacon Blue song Dignity and also in the video of the Billy Mackenzie song “Baby”. History Mackintosh based the design of the school on Rowallan Castle in Ayrshire and Falkland Palace. The building features a pair of windowed Scottish baronial style tower staircases and a tiled Drill Hall. The school is an important example of the Modern Style (British Art Nouveau style). During the building's construction, Mackintosh frequently battled the school board about the design (the board wanted a less expensive design). The total cost for the building was £34,291, which was over budget. The school was designed for an enrolment of 1,250. However, by the 1970s the area was experiencing urban decay, and the school's enrolment fell to under 100. The school closed in 1979 and reopened as a museum in 1990. Activities and exhibits at the museum include an opportunity to participate in a Victorian classroom situation, with employed actors playing teachers who impose strict discipline. The school is the subject of a 2018 documentary by Margaret Moore, Scotland Street School Remembers.

Scotland Street School Museum

Le Scotland Street School Museum est un musée de l'enseignement scolaire dans le district de Kingston à Glasgow en Écosse. Il est situé à côté de la station de métro Shields Road dans une ancienne école conçue par Charles Rennie Mackintosh entre 1903 et 1906. Le musée est listé en catégorie A des monuments classés d'Écosse. Il est donc considéré comme un édifice d'importance nationale ou internationale et exemple important d'un style spécifique. Histoire L'école Mackintosh s'est inspiré du château de Rowallan dans l'East Ayrshire et le Palais de Falkland pour concevoir l'école. Le bâtiment comporte des éléments remarquables tels ses deux tours escaliers de style Scottish baronial ornées de fenêtres à vitraux ou encore une salle d'exercices militaires carrelée . Pendant la construction du bâtiment, Mackintosh s'est souvent opposé au conseil scolaire car celui-ci souhaite un édifice moins coûteux. Le coût total de l'école s'élève finalement à 34 291 livre sterling, ce qui dépasse le budget prévu. L'école est conçue pour un effectif de 1 250 élèves. Cependant, dans les années 1970 la région connaissant un déclin urbain, le nombre d'inscriptions à l'école chute à moins de 100 élèves. L'école ferme définitivement ses portes en 1979. Le musée Plus tard l'école est réhabilité pour accueillir un musée de l'enseignement scolaire. Les activités et les expositions au musée proposent notamment une immersion dans une classe victorienne avec des acteurs jouant des enseignants qui imposent une discipline stricte. L'école fait l'objet d'un documentaire réalisé en 2018 par Margaret Moore : Scotland Street School Remembers.

Scottish American Memorial

The Scottish American Memorial, or Scots American War Memorial, is in West Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh. It was called "The Call 1914", and it was erected in 1927 and shows a kilted infantryman looking towards Castle Rock. Behind the main statue is a frieze showing queues of men answering the call by following a kilted pipe band. The memorial was given by Scottish-Americans to honour Scots who had served in the first World War. It is designated a Category B listed building by Historic Scotland. History The memorial was paid for by The Scottish – American War Memorial Committee representing Scottish-Americans as a tribute to the bravery of Scottish troops during World War I. The Scottish National War Memorial (with similar design relating to the military in the Shrine) having been opened in July of that same year it was evidently relatedly unveiled on 7 September 1927 by the United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Alanson B Houghton, with the Mackintosh's text reading "if it be life that waits, I shall live forever unconquered. If death, I shall die at last, strong in my pride and free" and with on the contemporary postcard the title "Spirit of 1914". "The Call 1914" (as actually named within the memorial) was designed by R. Tait McKenzie who was a Scottish Canadian working at the time at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. McKenzie only took to sculpture in later life having started his interests in physical education. His sculpture invariably was of life size male athletic figures. This work took him four years to complete. The bronze backdrop frieze shows Scots of differing professions answering the call and changing from civilians into marching soldiers. It was also by McKenzie, but the architect Reginald Fairlie was also involved. The stonework is constructed from Craigleith sandstone. At the very top of the design are the two intertwined escutcheons of America and Scotland. The memorial was said to have cost ten thousand pounds at the time it was built. At the bottom of the frieze are lines from E. A. Mackintosh's poem "A Creed": "If it be life that waits I shall live forever unconquered; if death I shall die at last strong in my pride and free." Mackintosh was a 23-year-old ex-Oxford Classics student of Scottish descent who was killed at the second Battle of Cambrai in 1917. When R Tait McKenzie died he hoped to have his heart buried beneath this memorial, and this presumably either because he considered this his best work or also perhaps on account of a belief in its general significance in relation to First World War memorials in general and in particular perhaps the directly related Scottish National War Memorial.

Scots Mining Company House

Das Scots Mining Company House ist eine Villa in Schottland. Sie liegt in der Ortschaft Leadhills in der Council Area South Lanarkshire. 1971 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Kategorie A aufgenommen. Geschichte Im 18. Jahrhundert betrieb der Earl of Hopetoun Bergwerke in Leadhills. Das Scots Mining Company House wurde zwischen 1834 und 1836 für James Stirling, den Betriebsleiter, erbaut. Möglicherweise war der schottische Architekt William Adam an der Planung beteiligt. Adam unterhielt eine enge Beziehung zu dem Earl und sein Name taucht auf verschiedenen Rechnungen aus der Bauzeit auf. Handelte es sich ursprünglich um ein freistehendes Gebäude, wurde bereits 1737 der Südflügel und 1740 der Nordflügel hinzugefügt. Beschreibung Die Villa steht abseits der Main Street am Ostrand von Leadhills. Die westexponierte Frontseite des zweistöckigen Gebäudes ist drei Achsen weit. Mittig tritt an dem frühklassizistisch ausgestalteten Hauptgebäude der überdachte Eingangsbereich heraus. Die Villa schließt mit einem schiefergedeckten Walmdach. Gartenseitig ist der Nordflügel mit einem venezianischem Fenster gestaltet. Eine Bruchsteinmauer umfriedet das Grundstück.
