Alexander’s School

Die Alexander’s School war eine Schule in der schottischen Stadt Glasgow. 1970 wurde ihr Gebäude in die schottischen Denkmallisten zunächst in der Kategorie B aufgenommen. Die Hochstufung in die höchste Denkmalkategorie A erfolgte 1998. Geschichte Die Schule entstand 1858 im Zusammenhang mit der benachbarten Baumwollspinnerei von R.F. & J. Alexander. Für den Entwurf zeichnet der schottische Architekt John Burnet verantwortlich. Die Gesamtkosten beliefen sich auf 6000 £. Später wurde der Schulname zu Ladywell School geändert. Im Februar 2000 wurde die inzwischen obsolet gewordene Schule zu einem Geschäftsgebäude umgebaut. Beschreibung Die ehemalige Schule steht an der Duke Street östlich des Glasgower Stadtzentrums. Sie ist im historisierenden Italianate-Stil gestaltete, zeigt jedoch auch Details des Greek Revivals. Die nordexponierte Hauptfassade des zweistöckigen Gebäudes ist weitgehend symmetrisch aufgebaut. Zu beiden Seiten treten Flügel mit stilisierten Dreiecksgiebeln heraus. Im linken Innenwinkel ragt ein schlanker Turm auf, der stilistisch an einen Renaissance-Campanile erinnert, jedoch nicht freistehend ist. Entlang der Hauptfassade erstreckt sich eine Rundbogenarkade. Die abschließenden, flach geneigten Dächer sind mit Schiefer eingedeckt.

Alexander's School

Alexander's School, at 94 Duke Street, Glasgow, was designed by John Burnet and built in 1858 at a cost of £6000 for James Alexander, the proprietor of the cotton mill next door - itself an innovative 1849 fire-proof construction - to educate local children. It was known as "Alexander's Endowed School". It is built in an impressive Italianate style, with the heads of Homer, Aristotle, Shakespeare, Michelangelo and Milton carved high on the front wall by John Crawford. The site is close to where the University of Glasgow stood in the 19th century, and was opposite Duke Street Women's Prison. Following the Education (Scotland) Act 1872, it became a state school known as the Ladywell School - the district has a well long associated with Our Lady - and in the 1960s became an Annexe to St Mungo's Academy. This was removed in 1977 to Crownpoint Road and the building housed a special education school. The building was protected as a category B listed building in 1970, and this was upgraded to category A in 1998. In 1996 it was taken over by the East End Partnership, a local agency dedicated to urban regeneration. This commissioned extensive renovation in 2000 to form The Ladywell Business Centre, housing small businesses.

Standard Life Aberdeen

Standard Life Aberdeen (LSE : SLET) est une compagnie d'assurance ayant son siège social à Édimbourg, où ses 7 500 salariés en font un des grands employeurs de la capitale de l'Écosse. Elle compte 12 000 salariés à l'échelle internationale. Standard Life compte cinq divisions : Standard Life Assurance Company (assurances), Standard Life Bank (banque), Standard Life Investments (finance), Standard Life Healthcare (mutuelle de santé) et Standard Life International (établissement international). Des sept millions de clients de la Standard Life, cinq millions sont au Royaume-Uni, dont 2,6 millions sont des membres de la mutuelle avec participation aux profits. Histoire La compagnie d'assurances Standard Life ("Standard Life Assurance Company") a été créée en 1825 et son premier acte constitutif, voté par le Parlement en 1882. C'est en 1925 que Standard Life devint mutuelle d'assurances. À l'origine, le groupe Standard Life fonctionnait uniquement par les agences de la mutuelle du Royaume-Uni et par ses filiales dans quelques autres pays. Sa division canadienne fut lancée en 1833 et ses opérations en Irlande commencèrent en 1838. Cette structure perdura jusqu'en 1996 : une branche ouvrit cette année-là à Francfort. L'objectif de cette implantation était l'exportation en Allemagne des modèles anglo-saxons de caisses de retraite et d'assurance-vie. La Standard Life entendait aussi capitaliser sur les occasions que représentait la Directive européenne 92/96/CEE (« troisième directive assurance vie ») et offrir sur ce marché une gamme de produits que les assureurs nationaux ne pouvaient proposer. Dans les années 1990, le groupe a également cherché à diversifier ses opérations dans des domaines qui complétaient ses compétences dans les assurances-vie et les pensions, pour se positionner comme un groupe financier à part entière et proposant tous types de services. Le 31 mai 2006, les membres de Standard Life ont voté en faveur de la Résolution spéciale pour la démutualisation de la compagnie d'assurances et pour l'introduction de Standard Life plc à la bourse de Londres. Le 15 septembre 2006, la société a intégré l'indice FTSE 100. En mars 2007, Standard Life a annoncé qu'un millier d'emplois seraient supprimés dans le but d'économiser 100 millions de £ par an (environ 150 millions d'euros). En mars 2014, Standard Life annonce l'acquisition d'Ignis Asset Management pour 390 millions de livres. En Septembre 2014, la Financière Manuvie acquiert les activités canadiennes, principalement situées au Québec, de Standard Life pour 3,7 milliards de dollars. Le 6 mars 2017, le groupe Standard Life et le groupe Aberdeen Asset Management ont annoncé leur fusion pour 11 milliards de livres.

Alexandra Park, Glasgow

Alexandra Park is a public park in the East End of Glasgow, Scotland. It is located in Dennistoun, 2 miles (3 km) east of the city centre. Named after Princess Alexandra of Denmark, it opened in 1870. The highest point of the park gives views north to Ben Lomond and south to the Tinto Hills. The park is generally open from dawn to dusk daily, but the facilities inside the park have separate opening and closing times accordingly. History 1866: The City Improvement Trustees of Glasgow purchased the land of Alexandra Park from Mr Walter Stewart with the intention of giving the people of the north-east of Glasgow a place of leisure and recreation. When the land was purchased it was bare and barren with hardly any trees. Ordnance Survey maps of this time show the land named as Tollcross Park. 1867–1868: Hundreds of unemployed artisans and labourers were employed to begin the renovation of the park to give them something to do during the great trade depression. 1870: The park is officially opened and named after Princess Alexandra of Denmark who was the wife of the future King Edward VII. 1873: Becomes home of Alexandra Athletic. Location The park is located in the Dennistoun area (bordering Haghill) about two miles from Glasgow's city centre, It sits neatly between the M8 motorway to the north, Alexandra Parade/Cumbernauld Road (A8/A80) to the south, Provan Road (Riddrie) to the east and Sannox Gardens (Milnbank) to the west. It is about 42 hectares (100 acres) in area. Its most identifiable features are the two large pedestrian gates that can be seen from Alexandra Parade/Cumbernauld Road. Features One of the notable features of Alexandra Park is the 40-foot (12 m) cast-iron Walter MacFarlane-built Saracen Fountain, which was gifted to the city of Glasgow after the 1901 International Exhibition and remained in Kelvingrove Park for 12 years after the exhibition. In 1914, Glasgow Corporation took the decision to re-site the fountain to its present location. In 2000, the fountain was restored at a cost of £22,000. Alexandra Park Golf Club is a nine-hole golf course situated inside the park. The course closed in 2020. See also Glasgow Golf Club References External links Alexandra Park – Glasgow City Council
Parque Alexandra

El Parque Alexandra (en inglés: Alexandra Park) es un parque público en la ciudad británica de Glasgow. Se encuentra en el distrito de Dennistoun, 3 km al este del centro de la ciudad. Nombrado en honor a la princesa Alejandra de Dinamarca, se inauguró en 1870. El punto más alto del parque ofrece vistas al norte hacia Ben Lomond y por el sur hacia Tinto Hills.

Alford Valley Railway

The Alford Valley Railway is a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge railway in the Howe of Alford, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is located at what used to be the terminus of the passenger and goods Alford Valley Railway which connected with the Great North of Scotland Railway main line at Kintore. Original railway The construction of the Alford Valley Railway started in 1856 and the line opened in 1859 as a Great North of Scotland Railway (GNSR) branch line from Kintore railway station, northwest of Aberdeen, with stations at Kemnay, Monymusk, Tillyfourie, Whitehouse and Alford. The line also served Kemnay Quarry and three other granite quarries in the area. The summit of the line is just west of Tillyfourie at 618 feet (188 m) where a mile-long cutting 30 feet (9.1 m) deep required cutting through particularly hard granite. The train took just over an hour for the 16-mile (26 km) journey. Until 1883, by law the third class fare on one train a day could not be more than a penny per mile. In 1923 GNSR was incorporated into the London and North Eastern Railway and, in 1948, became part of the Scottish Region of British Railways. The line closed to passengers on 31 December 1949, when driver Mr James Tocher drove the last passenger train into Alford Station. The goods service closed exactly sixteen years later on 31 December 1965, when the last train was driven by Mr Robert Asher, and attended by Mr James Elder, guard, both Aberdeen, and Mr Walter Mearns, fireman, Inverurie. Narrow gauge railway The narrow gauge railway, built from salvaged equipment from the New Pitsligo peat moss railway, was proposed in 1979 and opened in 1980. Originally it ran for 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from Haughton Park station through Murray Park Woods. Then in 1984 another line was run from Alford station, alongside Alford Golf Course, to Haughton Park about 1.35 kilometres (0.84 mi) away where there is a platform. However, the original Murray Woods line was then closed. The current station building is on the site of the original granite structure which was demolished after British Rail closed the line. The passenger platform is the original. A small railway museum is housed in the railway station building. The original locomotive shed was situated to the east of the station but this has also now been demolished. To the west of the station the granite carriage shed of the previous railway is now used by the Alford Valley Railway. The Grampian Transport Museum and Alford Heritage Museum are nearby. The railway closed in 2017. A new group, the Alford Valley Community Railway, was subsequently formed with the intention of reopening the line. After six years of closure, the Alford Valley Community Railway was re-opened in August 2023 to passengers.

All Saints Church (St Andrews)

Die All Saints Church ist ein Kirchengebäude der Scottish Episcopal Church in der schottischen Stadt St Andrews in der Council Area Fife. 1971 wurde das Bauwerk als Einzeldenkmal in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Geschichte Im Jahre 1825 wurde in St Andrews an der North Street eine dem Apostel Andreas geweihte episkopale Kapelle konsekriert. Nachdem die für 220 Personen ausgelegte Kapelle sich im Jahre 1860 als zu klein für die wachsende Gemeinde erwiesen hatte, wurde sie an die Free Church of Scotland verkauft, die das Gebäude abtragen und nach Buckhaven versetzen ließ. Das bis heute genutzte Grundstück an der Queen’s Terrace wurde erworben. Der dortige Kirchenneubau wurde 1869 konsekriert. Als sich dieses Gebäude um die Jahrhundertwende abermals als zu klein erwies, entstand bis 1907 die heutige All Saints Church. Für den Entwurf zeichnet der englische Architekt John Douglas verantwortlich. Die Kirche wurde ab 1920 nach einem Entwurf Paul Waterhouse’ erweitert. Am 1. November 1923 wurde dort die erste Messe gelesen. Beschreibung Die Kirche steht an der North Castle Street nahe den Ruinen von St Andrews Castle. Das Gebäude ist spätneogotisch ausgestaltet, weist jedoch auch Merkmale der Neorenaissance-Architektur auf. Im Innenraum finden sich beide Architekturstile wieder, hinzu kommt dort jedoch noch der byzantinische Stil. In den Bau aus behauenem Bruchstein sind ältere Gebäudefragmente integriert. Die Dächer sind teilweise mit Schiefer eingedeckt.

Montrose FC

Montrose FC is een Schotse voetbalclub uit Montrose in Angus. De club werd in 1879 opgericht en sloot zich in 1929 bij de Football League aan. De beste periode van de club was er in de jaren 70. De club haalde enkele succesjes in de beker en was een gevreesd team. De club speelde nooit in de hoogste klasse en pendelde vooral tussen 2de en 3de. Er werden 37 seizoenen in de 2de klasse doorgebracht. Sinds de oprichting van de Third Division (4de klasse) is dat echter de thuishaven van de club geworden. In 1995 promoveerde de club nog als vicekampioen maar na één seizoen in 3de degradeerde de club opnieuw en kon sindsdien nog niet wegraken uit de kelder van de Schotse League.
