ПЕС MeyGen

ПЕС MeyGen (англ. MeyGen tidal energy project) – припливна електростанція, розташована біля північного узбережжя Шотландії у протоці Пентленд-Ферт, яка відокремлює острів Велика Британія від Оркнейського архіпелагу. Постійні сильні течії в протоці, через яку відбувається водообмін між Північним морем та Атлантичним океаном, сприяли її вибору для розміщення припливної станції з можливою потужністю до 398 МВт (показник буде досягнутий у випадку реалізації всіх запланованих етапів будівництва). При цьому перша черга ПЕС повинна мати потужність у 86 МВт, а її розпочатий в 2016 році перший етап (MeyGen 1А) складається з чотирьох турбін загальною потужністю лише 6 МВт. ПЕС знаходиться в південній частині протоки у 2 км від узбережжя Шотландії (між ним та островом Строма). Його турбіни етапу розміщуються на фундаментах типу «трипод» вагою до 350 тон, які додатково баластуються шістьма блоками загальною вагою 1200 тон. Осінню 2016-го самопідіймальне судно Neptune встановило чотири такі конструкції. Враховуючи експериментальний характер станції, на етапі 1А використали одразу два типи турбін: три Andritz Hydro Hammerfest AH1000 MK1 та одну Atlantis Resources AR1500 (останню змонтували у лютому 2017-го). Видача продукції відбувається по кабелю, що працює під напругою 33 кВ, до точки підключення в Ness of Quoys. В середині 2017-го турбіни демонтували для усунення виявлених недоліків. Повторний запуск всіх агрегатів очікувався до кінця 3-го кварталу. На етапі 1B збираються випробувати монопальний тип фундаменту, який до того знайшов широке застосування в офшорній вітроенергетиці.

McLean Primary School

McLean Primary School is located in the centre of Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. The head teacher is Gillian Souter Pupils from the school progress onto Queen Anne High School. The building is a category C listed building. History McLean Primary School was first established in 1842 through a bequest by Reverend Allan McLean, a minister at Dunfermline Abbey. His bequest stated that the school was to ensure that education for working class children was to be provided at a low cost. In 1896, the school moved from Golfdrum Street to a new building in Baldridgeburn which was designed by Andrew Scobie and opened by Scottish-American entrepreneur, Andrew Carnegie. A ceremonial key from the school's opening is on show at Andrew Carnegie's Birthplace Museum, also in Dunfermline. During the first world war, McLean school was used as an army barracks for soldiers stationed in Dunfermline. Air raid shelters were provided in the second world war and the students had ARP (Air Raid Precaution) training regularly. In the 1930s, the head teacher Norman Johnson helped pioneer the use of film in schools. Extensions were made to the building between 1913 and 1915 and again in 1946. The original school building opened in 1896 is still in use today but was altered significantly in 1984 to modernise the interior. A new nursery was built in the northern part of the school grounds in 2000. Structure McLean Primary School has thirteen classes from Primary 1 through to Primary 7 as well as separate nursery classes both in the mornings and afternoons.

Walls Loch

Walls Loch is situated at a height of 560 feet, below the Walls Hill Iron Age fort and to the east of Broadfield Hill on the lands of North Castlewalls Farm, Whittliemuir, Howwood, Renfrewshire, Scotland. The loch is a natural feature, sitting in a hollow to the west of Walls Hill and close to the old North Castlewalls Farm. The loch waters drain via the Muirhead Burn that flows into Barcraigs Reservoir close to Auchenbathie Tower. Its dimensions are a length of 2860 feet or 872 metres and a width of 1980 feet or 604 metres. History Walls Hill is the site of an Iron Age hillfort, the largest in Renfrewshire and probably an oppidum of the celtic Damnonii tribe, speculation suggests that the name 'Vanduara' may be associated with Walls Hill. Walls Loch In 1960 a flint barbed and tanged arrowhead was found on the shore of Walls Loch, a type typical of the Bronze Age ‘Beaker People’ and the introduction of metal working to the British Isles. One phase of occupation of walls Hill probably ended with the arrival of the Romans and then another circa the fourth and eleventh centuries before Walls Farm was built in the 14th century and then abandoned. Each phase of occupation would have impacted on the loch as a source of water for humans and domestic animals, fish etc as food, rushes and reeds for household use, etc. Whittliemuir pollen diagrams from the Iron Age show that a basic economy based on mixed farming existed in the area around the loch. The 19th century OS maps indicate a small oblong enclosure below Walls Hill on the west bank of the loch that contained trees. A 'Fox Covert' is one possibility, created in order to encourage foxes to breed for the purposes of fox hunting. Walls Loch is clearly marked near to Walls Farm circa 1747. In 1800 a 'Loch' is shown on Ainslie's map of Renfrewshire with an East Castlewalls Farm nearby. The 1857 OS map shows the loch near to a North Castlewalls Farm, the name having changed from 'East'. Place name evidence Names such as North and South Castlewalls are to be found on the maps of the area and these confirm the existence of a castle on Walls Hill. Battle of Muirdykes On 18 June 1685 the Battle of Muirdykes was fought near to Walls Loch on Muirdykes Farm between the Duke of Argyle's men and those of James VII, the latter were defeated.

Maják Elie Ness

Maják Elie Ness byl postaven na mysu Elie Ness poblíž Elie a Earlsferry na severní straně ústí zálivu Firth of Forth ve správní oblasti Fife v jihovýchodním Skotsku. Spolu s majáky na ostrovech Isle of May a Fidra zajišťuje bezpečnou plavbu lodí v zálivu Firth of Forth. V roce 1980 byl zapsán na seznam skotského kulturního dědictví v kategorii C. Maják byl ve správě organizace Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB) v Edinburghu, která zajišťuje námořní pomoc na skotském pobřeží. Od roku 2013 je v údržbě úřadu Forth Ports PLC. Historie Z důvodů rychle rostoucí lodní dopravy v zálivu Firth of Forth se komise Northern Lights Commissioners (předchůdce NLB) se obrátila na Trinity House s žádostí o vybudování majáku na Elie Ness. Souhlas se stavbou byl vydán 30. ledna 1907. David Alan Stevenson, v té době inženýr NBL, vybral místo na mysu Elie Ness v místě nazývaném Fish Rock (Rybí skála) Maják byl navržen Davidem Alanem Stevensonem. Stavbu majákové věže a acetylénovny provedla firma James Lawrie Builders z Anstrutheru v období prosinec 1907 až červen 1908. Lucernu a související stroj dodala firma J. Dove and Co. z Edinburghu. Zařízení na výrobu acetylenu bylo od firmy W. Moyes and Co. z Glasgow. Optické otáčecí zařízení dodala firma Chance Bros. Ltd. z Birminghamu. Nainstalované světlo bylo několik měsíců ve zkušebním automatickém provozu, než bylo oficiálně rozsvíceno 1. října 1908. Acetylénové světlo bylo v provozu do července 1959, kdy byl maják připojen k elektrické síti. V tomto roce byla odstraněna původní lucerna a nahrazena novým světelným zařízením (bójkové světlo). V roce 2010 byl maják modernizován a restaurován. Popis Maják je dvoupodlažní válcová bílá věž jedenáct metrů vysoká s plochou střechou a černě lemovaným cimbuřím. Na severozápadní straně stojí malá patrová čtvercová bílá věž stejného stylu, která slouží jako technická místnost. Zdroj světla je ve výšce 15 m n. m. a vysílá každých 6 sekund jeden bílý záblesk (charakteristika světla: Fl W 6s). Areál je otevřen a prostory jsou uzavřeny.

Phare de Lady's Rock

Le phare de Lady's Rock est un phare édifié sur un écueil au sud-ouest de l'île de Lismore dans les Hébrides intérieures (archipel des Hébrides) (en gaélique écossais :Sgeir Mhòr ), dans le comté de Argyll and Bute à l'ouest de l'Écosse. Ce phare est géré par le Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB) à Édimbourg,l'organisation de l'aide maritime des côtes de l'Écosse. Histoire En 1527, Lachlan du clan Maclean of Duart a décidé d'assassiner son épouse, Lady Catherine Campbell, une sœur d'Archibald Campbell, 4e Comte d'Argyll. Il a ramé au rocher une nuit à marée basse et a laissé mourir sa femme sur le rocher. En regardant le lendemain du château de Duart, il a observé que le rocher était dépourvu de vie, il a envoyé un message de condoléances au comte du château d'Inveraray, indiquant qu'il avait l'intention d'apporter là le corps de sa femme pour l'enterrement. Maclean arriva à Inveraray avec un entourage d'hommes et le cercueil. On le conduisit aussitôt à la salle à manger du château pour se rafraîchir. Il découvrit lady Catherine qui l'attendait en bout de la table. Elle avait été sauvée pendant la nuit par bateau de Tayvallich ou Lismore qui était passé près de l'écueil. Aucun mot n'a été dit de l'incident pendant le repas et Maclean a été autorisé à partir. Il a été assassiné dans son lit à Édimbourg quelque temps plus tard par Sir John Campbell de Calder, le frère de Lady Catherine. Ce petit phare est une tour pyramidale peinte en blanc de 12 m de haut. En 2001 la lanterne originale a été remplacée par une petite tourelle revêtue de panneaux rouges en aluminium. Il est construit sur un rocher immergé à marée haute à environ 2 km de Duart Point au sud-ouest de l'Île Lismore, à la jonction du Sound of Mull et Loch Linnhe.

Myreside Stadium

Myreside Stadium is a sports ground in Edinburgh, Scotland. Often simply known as Myreside, Watsonians RFC have used this venue on the east side of Myreside Road as their home ground for rugby union matches since 1933. Edinburgh Rugby used it for some home matches 1996–2002 and again in 2017 and 2018; this included Pro14 and European Rugby Challenge Cup matches. A main stand is positioned along the west side of the grass pitch, with floodlights around the ground. Ahead of the Edinburgh Rugby team's return to play home matches at the stadium, temporary stands were installed to increase seating capacity to 13,799. History The ground originally used by Watsonians RFC was called Myreside, which took its name from a local farm. On 4 March 1933, Watsonians played their first match at New Myreside, against Royal High School FP Rugby Club. A West stand was constructed. The Watsonian Cricket Club play at the adjacent Myreside Cricket Ground. When rugby turned professional, Edinburgh Rugby used the stadium for their home matches 1996 to 1998. That team was succeeded by the Edinburgh Reivers which played at Myreside from 1999–2002. In May 2016, Edinburgh Rugby announced a partnership with the owners of the ground, George Watson's College. The partnership allowed a trial period starting in January 2017 for Edinburgh to return to Myreside for six months, downsizing from Murrayfield Stadium. The pitch has floodlights but the facilities at the ground are ageing. The plans involved increasing the stadium capacity by erecting temporary stands at the North and South ends. Edinburgh City Council approved plans to erect temporary stands in December 2016. The temporary stands were erected as close as possible to the dead-ball lines. The capacity was increased to just above 13,799 seats in time for Edinburgh to play their first game in January 2017. In July 2017, Edinburgh set out plans that involved playing a minimum of nine home matches at Myreside for the next three seasons, subject to planning permission. Some of their fixtures, including the annual 1872 Cup clash, would be played at Murrayfield. In February 2018 Edinburgh announced that the remainder of the season's matches would be played at Murrayfield. Within a couple of weeks, the club had confirmed that Myreside would no longer be used as their home venue. Transport The ground is near several routes operated by Lothian Buses. Myreside is a 2-minute cycle from the Canal National Cycle Route 754 which runs through the West of the city. References
