Phare d'Hyskeir

Le phare d'Hyskeir (en gaélique écossais : Òigh Sgeir) est un phare qui se situe sur l'îlot rocheux d'Hyskeir à environ 8 km au sud-ouest de l'île de Canna dans le comté de Highland à l'ouest de l'Écosse.Ce phare isolé marque les dangers importants en Mer des Hébrides, entre les Hébrides intérieures et Hébrides extérieures. Ce phare est géré par le Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB) à Édimbourg,l'organisation de l'aide maritime des côtes de l'Écosse. Histoire Le phare a été conçu par les ingénieurs civils écossais David Alan Stevenson et Charles Alexander Stevenson et construit par l'entrepreneur Oban MM D & J MacDougall. Le phare d'Hyskeir a été établi en 1904. C'est une tour cylindrique de 39 m de hauteur, avec galerie et lanterne, attenante à une maison de gardien d'un étage. La station est blanche et la lanterne est noire. Le feu qui émet, à 41 m au-dessus du niveau de la mer, trois flashs blancs toutes les trente seconde, marque l'extrémité méridionale du bras de mer The Minch, avertissant de la présence des rochers de Mills Rocks, de l'île de Canna et Hyskeir. Le phare a été gardienné jusqu'en mars 1997, devenant l'un des derniers phares d'Écosse à être automatisé. Le site n'est accessible que seulement en bateau, ou en hélicoptère quand la navigation est dangereuse. Hyskeir et son phare font partie intégrante du livre de Peter Hill, Memoirs of a Young Lighthouse Keeper, avec ceux de Pladda et d'Ailsa Craig.

Inchcruin

Inchcruin is an island in Loch Lomond in Scotland. It is not to be confused with Creinch, which has occasionally been referred to as "Inchcroin". Geography Inchcruin is one of an island group just south of Luss. It is 3⁄4 mile (1.2 kilometres) long, and 50 feet (15 metres) in elevation at its highest point. Its name means "round island" in the Scottish Gaelic language, although it is not round, but a rather jagged shape. It has a couple of beaches, and is wooded, with some open fields. Only a very narrow channel, called the Geggles separates Inchcruin from Inchmoan. At only 3–4 ft (90–120 cm) deep, it is sometimes possible to wade between the islands. History The travel writer, H.V. Morton visited Loch Lomond in the 1930s, and mentions Inchcruin briefly and wrongly as "Inchcruim". In the 18th century it was used as an asylum for the insane. It contains one house, around 200 years old, which was inhabited in the past by people who farmed on the island. It is now a holiday retreat. The island is classified by the National Records of Scotland as an inhabited island that "had no usual residents at the time of either the 2001 or 2011 censuses."

Inchmahome

Inchmahome, an anglicisation of Innis Mo Cholmaig ("my-Colmac's island"), is the largest of three islands in the Lake of Menteith, in Stirlingshire. History Inchmahome is best known as the location of Inchmahome Priory and for the attendant priors of Inchmahome. The priory was founded in 1238 by the Earl of Menteith, Walter Comyn, for a small community of the Augustinian order (the Black Canons). The Comyn family were one of the most powerful in Scotland at the time, and had an imposing country house on Inch Talla, one of the other islands on the lake. There is some evidence that there was a church on the island before the priory was established. The priory has a long history of receiving many notable guests. King Robert the Bruce visited three times, in 1306, 1308 and 1310. His visits were likely politically motivated, as the first abbot had sworn allegiance to Edward I, the English King. In 1358 the future King Robert II also stayed at the priory. In 1547 the priory served as a refuge for Mary, Queen of Scots, aged four, hidden here for a few weeks following the disastrous defeat of the Scots army at the Battle of Pinkie Cleugh during the Rough Wooing. The famous English travel writer, H.V. Morton, visited in the 1930s and wrote: Far in the middle of the lake was a low greyness that rose and fell in queer shadows, as though the once holy isle of Inchmahome was built up out of lake water like a mirage. This little island is one of Scotland's shrines; it was here that we can think of Mary Queen of Scots living, for once, happy hour in that first garden of her simpleness. On Inchmahome, she was hidden when the English were hammering at the gates of Stirling... Legend has labelled every yard of Inchmahome. There are the 'Queen's Bower', the 'Queen's Tree', and the 'Queen's Chamber'. Although Mary, Queen of Scots, was only on the island for a matter of weeks, at the age of five, fanciful stories have grown up around her on the island. For example, they state that it was here that she started to learn languages, held a mock court with the Four Marys, planted a box hedge and did needle work. A contemporary charter in Mary's name indicates that she was accompanied by her council, narrating that after "the field of Pynkyn Clewiche, quhen we wer transportit furtht of our castell of Streviling to the Isle of Inchemaquhomo by our dearest moder oure tutour and governour and lordis of oure counsall beyng then in the same Isle".

Inchmahome

Inchmahome, une anglicisation d'Innis Mo Cholmaig (« l'île de my-Colmac »), est la plus grande des trois îles du lac de Menteith, dans le Stirlingshire. Histoire Inchmahome est surtout connu comme l'emplacement du prieuré d'Inchmahome et pour les prieurs d'Inchmahome (en) qui y ont été attachés. Le prieuré est fondé en 1238 par le comte de Menteith, Walter Comyn, pour une petite communauté de l'ordre augustinien (les chanoines noirs). La famille Comyn est l'une des plus puissantes d'Écosse à l'époque et possède une imposante maison de campagne sur Inchtalla, l'une des autres îles du lac. Il existe des preuves qu'il y avait une église sur l'île avant la fondation du prieuré. Le prieuré a une longue histoire d'accueil de nombreux hôtes illustres. Le roi Robert le Bruce s'y rend à trois reprises, en 1306, 1308 et 1310. Ses visites sont probablement motivées par des raisons politiques, car le premier abbé avait prêté allégeance à Édouard Ier, le roi d'Angleterre. En 1358, le futur roi Robert II séjourne également au prieuré. En 1547, le prieuré sert de refuge à Marie, reine d'Écosse, âgée de quatre ans, cachée ici pendant quelques semaines après la défaite désastreuse de l'armée écossaise à la bataille de Pinkie Cleugh pendant le Rough Wooing. Le célèbre écrivain voyageur anglais, H. V. Morton (en), a visité le pays dans les années 1930 et a écrit : « Far in the middle of the lake was a low greyness that rose and fell in queer shadows, as though the once holy isle of Inchmahome was built up out of lake water like a mirage. This little island is one of Scotland's shrines; it was here that we can think of Mary Queen of Scots living, for once, happy hour in that first garden of her simpleness. On Inchmahome, she was hidden when the English were hammering at the gates of Stirling... Legend has labelled every yard of Inchmahome. There are the 'Queen's Bower', the 'Queen's Tree', and the 'Queen's Chamber'. » (« Loin, au milieu du lac, une masse grisâtre basse montait et descendait en ombres étranges, comme si l’ancienne île sacrée d’Inchmahome était faite d’eau du lac, semblable à un mirage. Cette petite île est l’un des sanctuaires de l’Écosse ; c’est ici que l’on peut imaginer Marie, Reine d’Écosse, vivant, pour une fois, une heure heureuse dans ce premier jardin de sa simplicité. À Inchmahome, elle fut cachée lorsque les Anglais frappaient aux portes de Stirling… La légende a marqué chaque parcelle d’Inchmahome. On y trouve le « Berceau de la Reine », « l’Arbre de la Reine » et la « Chambre de la Reine » ») Bien que Marie, Reine d’Écosse, n’ait séjourné sur l’île que quelques semaines, alors qu’elle n’avait que cinq ans, des récits romancés se sont développés autour de sa présence. Par exemple, on raconte que c’est ici qu’elle aurait commencé à apprendre des langues, tenu une cour simulée avec les Quatre Marie, planté une haie de buis et fait de la broderie.

Inchtalla

Inchtalla or Inch Talla is an island in the Loch or Lake of Menteith in central Scotland. Its name derives from the Gaelic words innis ("island") and "talla" ("hall"). The entire island is dominated by Talla Castle, which appears to have been built in the 18th century. It was erected on the site of an earlier building that dates from 1428. Isle of Monteith [Inchtalla]. Agreement, Countess of Airth and William, Earl of Monteith 'the haill rooms within the hall door with the second chamber nixt the hall called the schoolhouse and the north chamber nixt adjacent to the hall to be of equell use whenever occasions offers of any of the said countess hir relations or yet the said earl's (being men of quallitie) and the kitching and brewhous to be of common use for serving both parties, and the said Earl to have the littellvoult east the turnpyk on the South syd of the cloass'.

Informatics Forum

The Informatics Forum is a major building on the Central Area campus of the University of Edinburgh. Completed in 2008, it houses the research institutes of the university's School of Informatics. Design The Forum is designed by Bennetts Associates with Reiach and Hall, architects, and Buro Happold, engineers. The architects' brief was to provide a "forum for interaction" that will foster synergies among the 500 researchers in Informatics: Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science, Computer Science, and Systems Biology, who have been brought together, under one roof, by this development. The building was the first in Scotland to achieve a BREEAM rating of "excellent", and was constructed by Balfour Beatty. History One of the major recommendations of the 1997 international review that led to the formation of Informatics as an academic grouping at Edinburgh, was that the university should provide a building for the collocation of Informatics. An options appraisal recommended that the university should plan for the collocation of Informatics in a new construction within the university's George Square Campus, using the long-vacant Crichton Street site. In 2002, the university embarked on a fund-raising campaign. This was followed closely by the Edinburgh Cowgate Fire of December 2002, which destroyed a number of buildings, including some of the school's accommodation at 80 South Bridge. The school took over four floors of the Appleton Tower as emergency accommodation. In the following years, plans for the school's accommodation were revised to include six floors of the Appleton Tower, and a new building on the Crichton Street Site. In all, £42M was raised from public and philanthropic sources. Planning approval was confirmed on 12 September 2005, and work on site commenced in October 2005. The Informatics Forum was opened by then First Minister Alex Salmond in September 2008. The Forum is the first phase of the Potterrow Project, the redevelopment of a site, bordered by Potterrow, Crichton Street, Charles Street and Marshall Street, that was cleared for redevelopment by the university in 1963, and has been used as a car park ever since. The Potterrow Project is itself part of a more extensive masterplan, that will see the Potterrow underpass removed and the campus extended to link Old College to George Square. Awards The Informatics Forum, as part of the wider Potterrow development, was joint winner of the RIAS Andrew Doolan Best Building in Scotland Award in 2008.

Inner Holm

Inner Holm is a small inhabited island in Stromness harbour and one of the Orkney islands of Scotland. It is about 350 metres (1,150 ft) east of the harbour front of Stromness but it is connected to the Orkney Mainland shore at low tide on the opposite side of the bay. The larger islet of Outer Holm, to which Inner Holm is also connected at low tide, lies to the south. The waters of Cairston Roads, part of Scapa Flow, lie to the east. Although not recorded as permanently inhabited in 2001 according to the 2011 census there was a single inhabitant both at that time and in 2001 when the total for the islet was included with that of Orkney itself. There built structures are at the north end and a stony causeway allows for vehicular access at low tides. A small wind turbine has been erected on the west coast. The SS Gnome ran aground on 23 January 1857 while entering Stromness harbour "on the Holme side". It is thought she was successfully recovered from a position between the Inner and Outer Holm. Notes
Inner Holm

Inner Holm è una piccola isola tidale abitata, situata a circa 350 metri ad est dal porto di Stromness nelle Orcadi, in Scozia. Durante la bassa marea si collega però dal lato opposto della baia all'isola principale dell'arcipelago, Mainland. Poco a sud di essa si trova Outer Holm, un isolotto leggermente più vasto al quale parimenti si unisce durante la bassa marea. La popolazione Inner Holm nel 2001 ammontava a una sola persona, anche se la cifra era inclusa nel totale di Mainland all'epoca del censimento del 2001. I pochi edifici si trovano all'estremità settentrionale dell'isola, dal quale parte anche una strada pietrosa che diventa carrabile durante la bassa marea, collegandola a Mainland. Una miniturbina eolica è stata installata sulla costa occidentale per la fornitura di energia elettrica. Note Altri progetti Wikimedia Commons contiene immagini o altri file su Inner Holm
Иннер-Холм

Эта статья об острове Оркнейских островов. Об острове Шетландских островов см. ст. Иннер-Холм-оф-Ско. Иннер-Холм (англ. Inner Holm) — частный приливный остров в составе Оркнейских островов (Шотландия). Во время максимального отлива Иннер-Холм имеет площадь около 0,02 км² и соединяется тонкой песчаной перемычкой с крупнейшим островом архипелага — Мейнленд, а также с необитаемым «соседом» — островом Аутер-Холм, имеющим примерно в два раза больший размер и лежащим чуть южнее. Иннер-Холм хорошо наблюдается из города Стромнесс, расстояние до которого не превышает 500 метров. Согласно переписям 2001 и 2011 годов, на острове проживал один человек. В северной части острова выстроен его жилой дом с шестью спальнями и три-четыре хозяйственные постройки, электричеством человека обеспечивает небольшой ветряк. По дну бухты от северной части острова до «большой земли» проложена «бетонка» длиной около 200 метров, по которой во время максимального отлива возможно движение автомобилей. 23 января 1857 года пароход «Гном» сел на мель между Иннер-Холм и Аутер-Холм. В августе 2016 года стало известно, что оба острова продаются за 300 000 фунтов стерлингов.

Inveralmond Community High School

Inveralmond Community High School is a six-year, mixed comprehensive school in Ladywell, Livingston. It serves six primary schools in its catchment area: Harrysmuir Primary, Livingston Village Primary, Toronto Primary, Riverside Primary, Peel Primary and Letham Primary. The school roll is approximately 1050 pupils. History The school opened in 1979. Gordon Ford assumed the role of headteacher at the school in 2001, after having previously served as headteacher of Broughton High School in Edinburgh. In February 2003, The Sunday Times reported that the government had ranked the school among Scotland's poorest performing secondary schools based on the percentage of pupils passing three Highers. Under Ford's leadership, the school underwent significant changes, including the introduction of a prefect system, a mandatory uniform policy, and a citizenship program for S5-S6 students to participate in community service. In August 2004, TES reported that the school had gone from being one of the 30 lowest ranked secondary schools in Scotland to being in the top 150 based on the predicted grades of those in fourth year. In April 2012, it was reported that the school was under investigation after a music teacher, who had taught at the school for six years, was found not to have been fully qualified to teach at secondary schools. In April 2013, the school became the first in Scotland to adopt eco-friendly uniforms, with the school jackets being produced from recycled plastic bottles. In August 2018, The Jewish Chronicle reported that a PE teacher at the school had been removed from the teaching register after allegedly calling a pupil a "poofy Jew" and slapping them. Another teacher at the school had their contract terminated after the General Teaching Council for Scotland found that they had interfered with the investigation by asking students for statements defending the accused teacher.

Inverclyde Academy

Inverclyde Academy (Scottish Gaelic: Acadamaidh Inbhir Chluaidh) is a secondary school in Greenock, Scotland that provides education to the majority of the Inverclyde area. The catchment area for the Academy stretches from the Inverclyde border at Wemyss Bay to Greenock's East End and Strone Farm areas. The school was created by the amalgamation of Greenock High School and Wellington Academy and cost £29 million to open. History The school was built on the site of three red blaes (gravel) football pitches. Nicol Stephen, Deputy First Minister of Scotland, cut the first sod at the site on 26 February 2007. Initially, following the merger, the school was split between the old sites of Greenock High School, two minutes from the current site, and Wellington Academy, on the other side of the town. In September 2007 the students went on strike in protest about the teaching time lost commuting between the two sites. As a result, Inverclyde Council decided that, from January 2008, all pupils would be housed in the Greenock High School campus on Inverkip Road until the new building could be occupied. The new building was opened on 19 December 2008 by Princess Anne.

Invermark Castle

Invermark Castle ist die Ruine eines Wohnturms mit rechteckigem Grundriss beim Dorf Auchronie am Ostufer des Loch Lee in der schottischen Council Area Angus. Das Gebäude aus dem 16. Jahrhundert liegt in der Nähe des Talschlusses des North Esk. Geschichte Die heutige Burg befindet sich an der Stelle einer Burg aus dem 14. Jahrhundert. Die Burg gehörte dem Clan Lindsay aus Crawford. Sie diente der Kontrolle der Plünderer aus den Highlands. Hier starb David Lindsay, 9. Earl of Crawford, 1558. Die heutige Burg wurde im 16. Jahrhundert erbaut und Anfang des 17. Jahrhunderts aufgestockt. 1803 wurde Invermark Castle aufgegeben. Beschreibung Die Burg aus dem 16. Jahrhundert war ein dreistöckiges Gebäude mit einer von Konsolen unterstützten Brüstung und einem Brüstungsumgang. Im 17. Jahrhundert wurden ein weiteres Stockwerk und ein Dachgeschoss aufgebaut und ein zweistöckiger Eckturm angebaut. Die Mauern der Burg haben gerundete Ecken. Zwei massive Kaminköpfe besitzen Öffnungen, um das Dachgeschoss zu belichten. Der Eingang auf Höhe des 1. Obergeschosses war über eine bewegliche Holzbrücke oder -treppe erreichbar. Der Eingang mit Rundbogen, der auch heute noch mit einem eisernen Gittertor versehen ist, führte zum Rittersaal, an den ein kleiner Raum angebaut ist. Eine Wendeltreppe war der einzige Zugang zu den gewölbten Räumen des Erdgeschosses. Eine gerade Treppe mit Podest, die zu den oberen, ebenfalls unterteilten Stockwerken führte, existiert nicht mehr. Der Eingang zur Burg ist verschlossen und liegt hoch über dem Geländeniveau, sodass das Innere für Besucher praktisch nicht zugänglich ist. Es gibt Fundamente von Nebengebäuden östlich und südlich des Wohnturms. Baumaterialien, die bekanntermaßen vom Gelände gestohlen wurden, stammen wohl von hier. Invermark Castle ist als Scheduled Monument geschützt. Einzelnachweise Weblinks Eintrag zu Invermark Castle auf trove.scot, der Datenbank von Historic Environment Scotland (englisch)
