St Andrew’s-by-the-Green

St Andrew’s-by-the-Green ist ein ehemaliges Kirchengebäude und heutiges Geschäftshaus in der schottischen Stadt Glasgow. 1966 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Geschichte Das Gebäude wurde ab 1750 von den Steinmetzen Andrew Hunter und William Paull in Zusammenarbeit mit Thomas Thomson als erste Episkopalkirche Glasgows erbaut. Um das Jahr 1900 wurde eine Apsis hinzugefügt, die zwischenzeitlich wieder abgebrochen wurde. 1981 wurde die Kirche restauriert. Sechs Jahre später begann der Umbau zu einem Geschäftshaus. Heute beherbergt es den Sitz der Glasgow Association for Mental Health. Beschreibung St Andrew’s-by-the-Green befindet sich an der Einmündung der Turnbull Street in die Greendyke Street südöstlich des Glasgower Zentrums. Das klassizistisch ausgestaltete, längliche Gebäude ist symmetrisch aufgebaut. Sein Mauerwerk besteht aus polierten Steinquadern. Die südexponierte Frontfassade der zweistöckigen Kirche ist fünf Achsen weit. Rustizierte Zierbänder gliedern die Fassade vertikal. Es sind längliche Fenster verbaut, die im Erdgeschoss beinahe quadratisch sind. Sie schließen mit Architraven mit stilisierten Schlusssteinen. Die Fassade schließt mit einem Dreiecksgiebel mit Okulus im Tympanum. Darunter läuft ein Kranzgesims um. Die Giebelseiten sind drei Achsen weit. Mittig finden sich Eingangstüren; an der Westseite in einem flachen polygonalem Vorbau aus dem früheren 19. Jahrhundert. Ein darüberliegendes Rundbogenfenster war einst mit Bleiglas, möglicherweise von Stephen Adam, gestaltet. Auf dem abschließenden Dreiecksgiebel sitzt ein kleiner hölzerner Dachreiter mit offenem Geläut auf. Das abschließende Satteldach ist mit Schiefer eingedeckt.

St Andrew's College, Drygrange

St Andrew's College, Drygrange, located near Melrose, Scotland, was a Roman Catholic seminary founded in 1953 and closed in 1986. History Foundation Founded by Gordon Gray shortly after he became Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh, the college was operated by the archdiocese in a large country house called Drygrange House. The house, standing north of the Leaderfoot Viaduct, included sizeable grounds bordered by the River Leader, a tributary of the River Tweed. Closure The archdiocese took the decision to close the college with effect from the autumn of 1986. The closure was blamed by then-Archbishop Keith O'Brien, himself a former student of the seminary, on the halving of the number of new Scottish entrants to the priesthood. The remaining students were transferred to Gillis College, Edinburgh, the new seminary for the archdiocese, and some 2,300 items from the college's library were deposited in the National Library of Scotland. On another analysis, the new Gillis College was the seminary of St Andrew's, transferred to a new site and renamed. In 1987, the archdiocese sold the college's former buildings at Drygrange for £250,000 and they became a nursing home called St Andrews Nursing Home, after going into administration it was sold and in March 2001 the new owners changed it to Grange Hall Care Home which has become (Jan 2017) one of the most successful and highest graded care homes in the Scottish Borders. In 1993, Gillis College also closed, and Chesters College, Bearsden, later renamed Scotus College, became the national seminary for Scotland.

St Andrew's Parish Church, Arbroath

St Andrew's Parish Church is a congregation of the Church of Scotland located in Arbroath, Angus, Scotland. The church building was constructed in the late 1880s. In 2007 the church underwent extensive refurbishment, funded by donations from the congregation and a grant from the Church of Scotland. The final minister of the congregation (before it united) was the former Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, Right Rev. Martin Fair. The church houses the 7th Arbroath Boys' Brigade and other youth groups. It is now part of the larger Arbroath and District Church, an amalgamation of nine churches in Arbroath and the surrounding area. It is now a team ministry, with Christine Hay, Peter Philips and Judith MacLeod filling the three allocated ministry posts. The St Andrew's Church is still in use each Sunday for worship.

St. Andrew’s House

Das St. Andrew’s House in der Regent Road auf dem Calton Hill in Edinburgh gehört zur Kategorie A denkmalgeschützter Gebäude. Es ist seit 1999 Sitz des Büros des Ersten Ministers von Schottland und der Schottischen Regierung. Geschichte St. Andrew’s House wurde in den 1930er Jahren auf den Resten des früheren Gefängnisses Calton jail errichtet. Als der Ruf nach home rule, einer eigenständigen Regierung für Schottland, in den 1920er Jahren immer lauter wurde, setzte die britische Regierung 1928 einen Secretary of State for Scotland mit dem Rang eines Kabinettsmitgliedes ein. Im Zuge dieses ersten Schrittes in Richtung devolution, der verwaltungsmäßigen Loslösung von London, wurde ihm die Leitung der Bereiche Gesundheit, Landwirtschaft und Erziehung in Schottland übertragen. Dieser Minister hatte seinen Sitz im neu erbauten St. Andrew’s House in Edinburgh. In einem Referendum in Schottland 1997 stimmten 74 % der Wähler für eine Teilautonomie Schottlands (engl. devolution), aufgrund dessen am 6. Mai 1999 nach 300 Jahren wieder ein Schottisches Parlament gewählt wurde. Das Parlament wählt einen Ersten Minister (First Minister) als Leiter der schottischen Exekutive, dessen Büro seit 1999 St. Andrew’s House als Sitz hat. Ab 2001 wurden die Gebäude restauriert. Architektur Das Art-déco-Gebäude wurde von Thomas S. Tait vom Architekturbüro Burnet, Tait and Lorne, architects entworfen. Der Bau begann im November 1935 und wurde 1939 fertiggestellt.

St Andrew's House

St. Andrew's House (SAH), sur le flanc sud de Calton Hill, à Édimbourg, est le siège du gouvernement écossais . Le bâtiment se trouve sur le site de l'ancienne prison de Calton . Aujourd'hui, il ne reste que la maison du gouverneur à tourelles de l'ancienne prison (Governor's House), à côté du cimetière Old Calton et du monument aux martyrs politiques. Le bâtiment de 1937 de style Art Déco est un monument classé de catégorie A. Il donne sur la gare de Waverley, Canongate et Holyrood Park. Construction Le bâtiment a été conçu par l'architecte Thomas S. Tait (en), qui a remporté le concours d'architecture. La construction a commencé en novembre 1935 et s'est achevée en 1939; le bâtiment abritait initialement le Scottish Office ainsi que les bureaux du secrétaire d’État pour l’Écosse. La sculpture héraldique sur le devant est de John Marshall . La nécessité de la construction découlait de la politique de l'après-Première Guerre mondiale consistant à transférer quelques pouvoirs administratifs déconcentrés (mais non législatifs) de Londres à l'Écosse. Une cérémonie d'ouverture officielle prévue pour le 12 octobre 1939 fut « annulée pour cause de guerre » (le premier raid aérien britannique se déroula quatre jours plus tard, sur le pont du Forth). Le bâtiment fut officiellement ouvert par le roi George VI et la reine Elizabeth le 26 février 1940. Architecture Sur le plan architectural, le bâtiment est monolithique, symétrique et restreint sur la façade nord principale. Au sud, face à la vallée de Waverley, son expression est beaucoup plus irrégulière et romantique. Il y a beaucoup d'influences Art Déco. La conception de Tait intègre des éléments d’Art déco et de Style « paquebot » des années 1930 et est réputée pour être un exemple rare d’architecture moderne conçue avec sensibilité à Édimbourg . Le bâtiment présente un certain nombre de décorations sculptées, également de style Art déco, attribuées à plusieurs sculpteurs. La St Andrew's House est un bâtiment historique de catégorie A. Usage gouvernemental St. Andrew's House a été conçue et construite pour servir de siège officiel au Scottish Office. À la suite de l’adoption de la loi écossaise (Scotland Act) de 1998, St. Andrew's House abrite depuis 1999 une partie du gouvernement écossais, notamment le bureau du premier ministre et du vice-premier ministre d’Écosse, ainsi que les bureaux de tous les secrétaires du gouvernement et des directions chargées de la justice et de la santé. Le bâtiment a subi une rénovation majeure en 2001, bien que la façade soit encore recouverte d'un résidu de suie. Il accueille maintenant 1 400 fonctionnaires.

St. Andrew's House

La St. Andrew's House (in gaelico scozzese: Taigh Naoimh Anndra) è la sede ufficiale del Governo scozzese con l'ufficio del primo ministro della Scozia, del vice-primo ministro e del segretario permanente del governo. L'edificio sorge nel centro di Edimburgo, sul fianco meridionale della Calton Hill. Tuttavia non è la residenza del primo ministro che invece è Bute House. Storia Costruzione Costruito sul sito della vecchia prigione di Calton di cui oggi rimane solo la camera del governatore del vecchio edificio, l'edificio attuale è stato progettato da Thomas S. Tait che vinse il concorso di architettura per ottenere la commissione. La costruzione iniziò nel novembre 1935 e fu completata nel 1939; l'edificio inizialmente ospitava l'ufficio scozzese, compresi gli uffici del Segretario di Stato per la Scozia. La scultura araldica sul fronte è di John Marshall. Completamento e apertura L'edificio fu aperto ai dipendenti lunedì 4 settembre 1939 (neanche 24h ore dopo l'entrata in guerra del Regno Unito). Una cerimonia di apertura reale ufficiale si sarebbe dovuta svolgere il 12 ottobre 1939 ma venne cancellata a causa della guerra. Fu ufficialmente aperto da re Giorgio VI e dalla regina Elisabetta il 26 febbraio 1940. Quando fu completato nel 1939, l'edificio era il più grande edificio incorniciato in metallo in Europa, ed era la prima volta che i dipartimenti governativi che servivano la Scozia furono portati sotto lo stesso spazio a Edimburgo. Uso governativo L'edificio ospita 1.600 dipendenti pubblici del governo scozzese su sei piani all'interno dell'edificio. La St Andrew's House è stata originariamente progettata e costruita come quartier generale dell'ufficio scozzese. Dopo l'approvazione dello Scotland Act 1998, dal 1999 è sede ufficiale del governo scozzese, tra cui l'ufficio del primo ministro della Scozia e il vice primo ministro della Scozia insieme agli uffici privati di tutti i segretari di gabinetto e le direzioni che si occupano di giustizia e salute. L'edificio ha subito un'importante ristrutturazione nel 2001, anche se la facciata è ancora rivestita dell'originale materiale di costruzione. Come quartier generale del governo scozzese, è il fulcro di tutto il processo decisionale del governo scozzese ed è spesso usato nelle notizie come sfondo dei media internazionali relative al governo scozzese. Inizialmente le riunioni del governo avvenivano presso Bute House come residenza del primo ministro, ma attualmente si svolgono sempre presso la sede del governo come forma istituzionale. Oggi è considerato come un edificio storico della Scozia. Note Altri progetti Wikimedia Commons contiene immagini o altri file su St. Andrew's House
St Andrew's Ukrainian Catholic Church

Our Lady of Pochayiv and St Andrew's Ukrainian Catholic Church (Ukrainian: Українська католицька церква Св. Андрія) is situated on Dalmeny Street, Leith in Edinburgh. It is one of the few Ukrainian Greek Catholic parish churches in Scotland. It is a church in the only Eastern Catholic eparchy in Great Britain, the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of the Holy Family of London. It is a Category B listed building. Early history The site was secured for use as a church by the United Presbyterian Church in March 1879, to serve the rapidly growing population in the new tenements around Leith Walk who were not well served by existing U.P. Churches. A temporary church hall was built in that year and a congregation established from existing U.P. members in the neighbourhood. It took until June 1881 to secure a minister, George B. Carr from the parish of Tranent. The sandstone Gothic Revival building was built for the congregation and was opened on 6 October 1882 to a design adapted by Archibald Thomson from an original version by Sloan & Balderston in 1822. At this time, Dalmeny Street was known as Colston Street, after James Colston, Esq., the treasurer of the Corporation of the City of Edinburgh. With the merger of the United Presbyterian and the Free Church of Scotland in 1900, the Church passed to the United Free Church of Scotland. The majority of the United Free Church merged with the established Church of Scotland in 1929, and Dalmeny Street followed after this. The Church was vacated by 1950, with the congregation merging with nearby Pilrig to form Pilrig and Dalmeny, now Pilrig St. Paul's. As the Ukrainian Church A Ukrainian diaspora community arrived in England, Scotland, and Wales after World War II. It included former veterans of the SS Division Galicia, but also many other anti-communist civilian refugees who arrived from displaced persons camps in West Germany as part of the European Voluntary Workers labour scheme. In 1950, The Scotsman newspaper reported there were approximately 1,500 Ukrainians living in Scotland, with 7–800 in Edinburgh alone. The first Ukrainian Catholic mission was opened in 1965 by Mitred Priest Mycola Matyczak. The local Ukrainian community "in work and finance, supported the project, to transform the interior of the building into a beautiful Catholic church, with a large icon of Saint Andrew over the main altar." In 1983, in advance of the 1988 celebration of 1,000 years of Catholicism in Ukraine, the Church was refurbished, including a new wooden belfry and steeple in an Eastern Catholic style and ornamental ironwork on the perimeter which includes the tryzub Coat of arms of Ukraine. The congregation at this time was reported to number 700. References Further reading Gifford, McWilliam and Walker Edinburgh (1991), p459

St Andrew's and St Bride's High School

St Andrew's and St Bride's High School is a Roman Catholic school in East Kilbride, Scotland. The current head teacher is Barry Quinn. The school opened in 2007, and has a roll of 1,698 pupils. The new buildings are adjacent to St Bride's Roman Catholic church, built in 1964 by Gillespie, Kidd & Coia. The school and church fall under the Diocese of Motherwell. History The school was formed by the merger of two earlier schools, St Brides RC High School originally located at the Platthorn Drive site, and St Andrews RC High School located at Scholar's Gate in the Greenhills area of East Kilbride. Opened in 1956 as a junior secondary and primary school, St Bride's was located close to the town centre consisting of one main building, with a separate Art block and three technical blocks. The advent of comprehensive education in 1967, meant that Catholic pupils would attend the school, as there would be no qualifying examination for senior secondary schools and so a further Science block and a Technical Block were built in 1970 and a large "New Block" with a Business studies block were opened in 1971. Later, in 1975/6 a large P.E.Block was built to complete the campus. At its largest, around 1977, the school was second largest in Scotland, with 2,220 pupils, but the opening of St. Andrew's High in 1978 reduced this. It was a state comprehensive mixed gender school with 893 pupils aged 12–18 years (1999 data). In 1975 St Brides RC High School exceeded the capacity of its Platthorn Drive campus and as an interim measure took over the buildings of the then closed Old High School located at Old Mill Road in the East Mains area approximately one mile from the Platthorn Drive campus. This annex site was used to house the first-year intake for 1975, 1976 & 1977. The Old Mill Road site is now part of the South Lanarkshire College. South Lanarkshire Council were accused of threatening academic standards by choosing to merge two academically very different schools. In 2002 St Bride's came 24th for Higher results in the national league table of 350 schools, while St Andrew's came in 227th place. Catchments There are currently 6 primary schools who are associated with St Andrew's and St Bride's: St Hilary's Primary School in St Leonards, East Kilbride St Leonard's Primary School in St Leonards, East Kilbride St Kenneth's Primary School in West Mains Our Lady of Lourdes Primary School in Westwood St Louise Primary School in The Murray St Vincent's Primary School In Greenhills Alumni St. Bride's High School Liam Fox (b. 1961) - GP, Conservative Party politician, Secretary of State for International Trade (2016-2019), Secretary of State for Defence (2010-2011), Member of Parliament (MP) for North Somerset (1992- ) Vincent Deighan (b. 1968) - better known by the pen name Frank Quitely, comic book artist.

St Andrew’s in the Square

St Andrew’s in the Square ist ein ehemaliges Kirchengebäude und heutiges Veranstaltungsgebäude in der schottischen Stadt Glasgow. 1966 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Geschichte Der Bau der Kirche wurde 1739 begonnen und 1756 abgeschlossen. Der Entwurf Alan Dreghorns weist zahlreiche Parallelen zur Gestaltung der Londoner Kirche St Martin-in-the-Fields auf. Dreghorn, ein erfolgreicher Holz- und Bleikaufmann, besaß großen politischen Einfluss in der Stadt und hielt selbst verschiedene öffentliche Ämter. Vermutlich lieferte er auch das beim Bau verwendete Holz. Nur wenige Bauwerke Dreghorns sind bekannt, von denen St Andrew’s in the Square das prominenteste ist. Architektonisch läutete es eine neue Strömung schottischer Kirchenbauten ein. Die meisterhaften Steinmetzarbeiten leitete Mungo Naismith. Die zwischenzeitlich profanierte Kirche wurde in den 1990er Jahren restauriert. Hierzu stellten verschiedene regionale und nationale Organisationen sowie die Europäische Union finanzielle Mittel bereit. Die Gesamtkosten der im Jahre 2000 abgeschlossenen Arbeiten beliefen sich auf rund 3,7 Millionen £. Es beherbergt nun das Centre for Scottish Culture. Beschreibung St Andrew’s in the Square steht inmitten eines Platzes südöstlich des Glasgower Stadtzentrum. Ursprünglich außerhalb der Stadt gelegen, entwickelte sich der Platz mit den säumenden Häusern erst nach dem Kirchenbau. An der nordwestexponierten Frontseite springt ein Portikus mit sechs korinthischen Säulen und abschließendem Dreiecksgiebel vor. Darüber ragt der Kirchturm auf. Dieser besitzt zunächst einen quadratischen Grundriss, wird jedoch oberhalb der allseitigen Turmuhren oktogonal fortgeführt. Darauf sitzt eine geschwungene mit Laterne. Kolossale korinthische Pilaster gliedern die Seitenfassaden der Hallenkirche.

St Andrew's in the Square

St Andrew's in the Square is an 18th-century category-A-listed former church in Glasgow, Scotland, considered one of the finest classical churches in Scotland, and now Glasgow's Centre for Scottish Culture, promoting Scottish music, song and dance. The church is in St Andrew's Square, near Glasgow Cross and Glasgow Green, on the edge of the City's East End. History The church, inspired by St Martin-in-the-Fields in London, was built between 1739 and 1756 by Master Mason Mungo Naismith, and designed by Allan Dreghorn. While construction of it was started before the nearby St Andrew's-by-the-Green, it was completed after, making it either the third or fourth oldest church in Glasgow, depending on criterion. The earlier two buildings were Glasgow Cathedral and the Trongate steeple. It was the first Presbyterian church built after the Reformation, and was commissioned by the city's Tobacco Lords as a demonstration of their wealth and power. The church was enclosed by a later square, built by William Hamilton between 1786 and 1787, which became fashionable homes for some of Glasgow's wealthiest merchants. The migration of the city westwards throughout the 19th century, however, resulted in a gradual slumming of the area and a dwindling congregation. The church was last used for a religious service in June 1993. St Andrew's has played its part in Scottish history; in December 1745, before the church's completion, the Jacobite army, led by Bonnie Prince Charlie, camped around the site, and within its semi-built walls, on its return from their failed battles in England. On 23 November 1785, huge crowds of Glaswegians gathered to watch Vincenzo Lunardi take off from the churchyard in a hot air balloon on a flight which took him south-east to Hamilton and Lanark, before eventually landing in Hawick. Agnes Maclehose (née Craig) married her husband James Maclehose in the church in 1776; Agnes is better known as Clarinda whose love letters to Robert Burns under the name Sylvander inspired him to write "Ae Fond Kiss" for her. Notable ministers Gavin Gibb, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1817. Renovation At the congregation's request, the church was acquired from them by the Glasgow Building Preservation Trust in October 1993 for the sum of £1. The Trust has since renovated the building, transforming it into a Centre for Traditional Scottish Music, Song and Dance. Victorian additions to the building have been removed, restoring the church's original light and airy feel, while a 4-5 metre deep excavation of the floor produced a basement cafe as well as dressing rooms, rehearsal space and toilets. The building was officially opened to the public on 30 November 2000; St Andrew's Day. Awards The renovation of St Andrew's in the Square has won the following awards: Europa Nostra Diploma Civic Trust Commendation Glasgow Institute of Architects Special Award Scottish Award for Quality in Planning Dynamic Place Award Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Commendation References External links Official website
