Glasgow Clyde College

Glasgow Clyde College is a further and higher education college, located in the Scottish city of Glasgow. It was created following the mergers of Anniesland College, Cardonald College and Langside College in August 2013. Merger timeline On 17 November 2011, Cardonald College announced it had entered merger talks with Anniesland College. In January 2012, Langside College first entered merger talks with Cardonald College and Anniesland College. On 28 March 2012, it was announced by Cardonald College principal, Susan Walsh, that a merger with Cardonald College, Anniesland College and Langside College was "highly likely." On 28 August 2012, a formal consultation was launched and ran until 16 November 2012. On 14 December 2012, Cardonald College principal Susan Walsh was appointed principal of the new college. On 1 August 2013, Anniesland College, Cardonald College and Langside College was merged to form Glasgow Clyde College. In June 2019, officials from Glasgow Clyde College revealed that, "due to issues and decisions outside of the college's control we are required to absorb an additional £1 million of costs in the year ahead without any additional Government funding". As a result, the college will be looking at voluntary redundancies. Anniesland Campus Anniesland Campus (Formerly Anniesland College) is located in the Claythorn neighbourhood of western Glasgow between Anniesland, Kelvindale and Gartnavel General Hospital, one block south of Great Western Road (A82) and Anniesland railway station. The college has seven schools, offering a range of courses and levels of study, full-time, part-time or flexibly. This new building is on Hatfield Drive, with a 3-storey classroom block, 2-storey workshops, a multimedia library and nursery. Cardonald Campus Cardonald Campus (formerly Cardonald College) is situated in the South Cardonald area, close to Mosspark and is close to Corkerhill railway station. Cardonald College officially opened in 1972 and was refurbished in the late 2000s. It has over 12,000 full-time and part-time students and intakes students who have just left school as well as mature students. Langside Campus Langside Campus (Formerly Langside College) is located in the Mount Florida / Battlefield area of Glasgow, and has its own pedestrian entrance from Mount Florida railway station. Langside enrols over 5,000 students every year of whom many are from countries outwith the European Union. There are four buildings on-site: the main campus (known as the Battlefield Building) and three others – the 1568 Theatre, The LITEhouse and the Mary Stuart Building (formerly known as the Business School). Phase 1 of a newly built main campus was opened in May 2009, while Phase 2, incorporating new sport, music and drama facilities, opened in August 2010. The final phase – an outdoor sports facility – was completed in February 2011. A new Horticulture Teaching Block was built in October 2017 to facilitate the students and staff involved in horticultural studies.

Brora Y Station

Brora Y Station war ein britischer Militärstützpunkt. Er lag nur wenige Hundert Meter südlich des Dorfs Brora unmittelbar an der schottischen Nordseeküste. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg befand sich dort eine wichtige Funkabhörstelle des britischen Geheimdienstes. Geschichte Die Anlage wurde 1939 für das General Post Office (Britische Postbehörde) errichtet. Neben der etwa 65 km nordöstlich gelegenen Funkpeilstelle bei Wick, der Wick Y Station, war die Brora-Station eine der am weitesten nördlich exponierten Y Stations der britischen Hauptinsel. Im Gegensatz zu ihrer nördlichen Schwesterstation, deren Hauptaufgabe die Funkortung feindlicher Funkstellen war, war Brora auf das Abhören des gegnerischen Funkverkehrs spezialisiert. Dazu gehörten die mit der deutschen Enigma-Maschine verschlüsselten und im Morsecode gesendeten Geheimtexte. Die in Brora aufgezeichneten Funksprüche wurden an die Government Code and Cypher School (G.C.& C.S.) (deutsch etwa „Staatliche Code- und Chiffrenschule“) weitergeleitet. Dort gelang den britischen Codebreakers die erfolgreiche Entzifferung und nachrichtendienstliche Auswertung. Die deutschen Funksprüche enthielten nicht selten kriegswichtige Informationen, die die Briten unter dem Decknamen Ultra zusammenfassten und für ihre eigenen Planungen nutzten. Nach dem Krieg wurde die Station noch vierzig Jahre lang durch die Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), der Nachfolgeorganisation der G.C.& C.S., weiter als Horchposten genutzt, bevor sie 1986 geschlossen wurde.

Gleddoch Golf & Spa Resort is situated in a 360-acre estate in Langbank, Renfrewshire. Hotel Gleddoch House is a Victorian mansion built by Scottish industrialist Sir James Lithgow in the 1920s, and completed in 1926. It has further since opened as a 75 bedroom four star hotel, golf course, restaurant, spa, sports complex and wedding venue. The building has been category B listed since June 1971. The hotel was owned by Edinburgh based North British Trust Group Ltd until 2006, when it was sold to Kent based Swallow Hotels. Bespoke Hotels are the operators of the business. Colliers International were the selling agents that concluded the sale. In 1975 after a year of rebuilding Gleddoch House was opened as a hotel by Lady Gwendoline Lithgow in August .The Hotel at the time was considered exceptionally luxurious and in 1977 won 'the Scottish Country House Hotel of the year award' also Guide Michelin awarded the Hotel a 3 red star country house award. A large fire broke out at the building in January 2004. Fifty firefighters tackled the blaze. The fire destroyed the roof and some of the interior including 11 bedrooms, reception and some other public rooms. The 2002 Champions League winners Real Madrid stayed at the hotel. Course The course designer was James Hamilton Stutt. It was originally a 9-hole course which opened in 1974. It was then extended to 18 holes in 1975. The 9 extra holes are known as the 'top half' to course members. Brian Barnes played the first round at the official opening of the course. Severiano Ballesteros has also played at the course in 1985. The course has hosted many county and regional events. In 1980 local woman Wilma Aitken won the Carlsberg Open on the Ladies European Tour at Gleddoch, becoming one of the few amateurs to do so. Discussions have been held with the PGA regarding Gleddoch becoming a course on the Tartan Tour. See also Golf in Scotland History of golf List of listed buildings in Renfrewshire References

Hawklaw Y Station

Hawklaw Y Station war ein britischer Militärstützpunkt. Er lag etwa vier Kilometer nördlich des Stadtzentrums der schottischen Kleinstadt Cupar. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg befand sich dort eine wichtige Funkabhörstelle des britischen Geheimdienstes (Y service). Geschichte Die Anlage wurde 1942 für das britische Außenministerium in Betrieb genommen. Hauptaufgabe war das Abhören des gegnerischen Funkverkehrs. Dazu gehörten die mit der deutschen Enigma-Maschine verschlüsselten und im Morsecode gesendeten Geheimtexte und die mithilfe der Lorenz-Schlüsselmaschine verschlüsselten geheimen deutschen Funkfernschreiben (britischer Deckname Fish). Diese wurden in Hawklaw aufgefangen, aufgezeichnet und nach Bletchley weitergeleitet. Dort gelang den britischen Codebreakers die erfolgreiche Entzifferung sowohl der Enigma-Sprüche als auch der Funkfernschreiben sowie deren nachrichtendienstliche Auswertung. Die deutschen Funksendungen enthielten nicht selten kriegswichtige Informationen, die die Briten unter dem Decknamen Ultra zusammenfassten und für ihre eigenen Planungen nutzten. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, insbesondere während des Kalten Krieges, wurde die Station noch mehr als vierzig Jahre lang durch die Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), der Nachfolgeorganisation der G.C.& C.S., weiter als Horchposten genutzt, bevor sie 1988 geschlossen wurde.

Crawick Multiverse

Crawick Multiverse is a land art project by the landscape architect and designer Charles Jencks near Sanquhar, Dumfries and Galloway. It opened to the public on 21 June 2015. The project is located on the site of a former open cast coal mine and covers approximately 55 acres, making it the largest of Jencks's works in Britain. Nine 'landforms' make up the Crawick Multiverse. Like Jencks's other work, including the nearby Garden of Cosmic Speculation, these represent ideas from modern cosmology. Unlike the Garden of Cosmic Speculation, the Crawick Multiverse landforms use stone, in the style of the megalithic monuments. These include the 'North-South Line', a 400 meter long stone avenue flanked by over 300 boulders, and two stone circles on top of mounds representing the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies. In total, over 2000 boulders have been used in the project. Jencks has described it as "A cosmic landscape worthy of the ancients."

Steinkreis Kirkton of Bourtie

Der Kirkton of Bourtie ist ein Steinkreis vom Typ Recumbent Stone Circle (RSC) in einem Feld bei Oldmeldrum, etwa 4,4 km nordöstlich von Inverurie in Aberdeenshire in Schottland. Seit 1925 ist die Anlage als Scheduled Monument geschützt. Merkmal der RSCs ist ein „liegender Stein“ begleitet von zwei stehenden, hohen, oft spitz zulaufenden „Flankensteinen“, (englisch flankers) die Teil des Kreises sind oder sich nahe dem Kreis befinden. Die am River Dee häufigen Kreise wurden zwischen 2300 und 1800 v. Chr. errichtet. Der stark beschädigte Kreis besteht aus dem etwa 3,0 m hohen östlichen Flankenstein, dem liegenden Stein und zweien der westlichen Steine des Kreises. Ursprünglich hatte er zehn oder elf Steine und etwa 22,0 m Durchmesser. Der liegende Stein ist zerbrochen, aber mit etwa 4,9 m neben dem von Old Keig als der längste aller liegenden Steine bekannt; (Cothiemuir Wood misst als nächstlängster 4,2 m). Er ist 1,02 m breit und wiegt wahrscheinlich mehr als 30 Tonnen. Der Stein liegt auf einem leicht erhöhten Hügel. Die westlichen Steine sind mit 1,8 m und 2,36 m auch sehr hoch. In der Nähe liegt der Steinkreis von Sheldon. Die Steinkreise am River Dee Die Steinkreise von Deeside bilden eine Gruppe von Recumbent Stone Circle (RSC). Ungefähr 100 von ihnen wurden zwischen 2500 und 1500 v. Chr. in Aberdeenshire errichtet. Die Ensembles der „ruhenden Steine“ liegen in der Regel im Südosten und (normalerweise) auf dem Ringverlauf.

Kirkton of Bourtie stone circle

Kirkton of Bourtie stone circle is a recumbent stone circle located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is situated about 2+3⁄4 miles (4.4 km) to the northeast of Inverurie at the end of a south-facing hillside just outside the hamlet of Kirkton of Bourtie. It stands on arable land near a minor road at an altitude of 515 ft (157 m) above sea level, with the Hill of Barra prominently visible to the north. The circle is badly damaged, with only the eastern flanker, the recumbent and two western stones surviving. The recumbent is broken but is the longest of all known such stones; it measures around 17 ft (5.2 m) in length by 3 ft 4 in (1.02 m) broad and with a girth of 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m). It probably weighs upwards of thirty tons. The stone sits on a slightly raised mound and is aligned with the "major southern moonset". The east stone is 9 ft 10 in (3.00 m) high, while the west stones are 6 ft (1.8 m) and 7 ft 9 in (2.36 m) high. The other stones, of which there were once probably six or seven, are missing, but it is thought that the circle may originally have had a diameter of around 71 ft (22 m). Some stones that may possibly be from the circle have been incorporated in a nearby gateway and wall. Fragmentary cairns are visible within the ring. The area around the stones appears to have been used as a dump for naturally deposited stones that have been cleared off the fields. A "rude pavement" in the circle that was described in 1867 has by now disappeared entirely. This may have been the base of a now-destroyed cairn. The circle's partial destruction may well have occurred in fairly recent history. Writing in the late 18th century, the Rev Thomas Shepherd referred to the presence in the area of "three Druidical circles here, two of them pretty entire". Half a century later, only two of those remained, namely Kirkton of Bourtie and Sheldon stone circle, the latter of which was said to be in "a state of considerable preservation". By the time it was mapped by the Ordnance Survey in 1867 the Kirkton of Bourtie circle had been reduced to its present four stones; the map-makers reported, "No one [in] the parish remembers having seen it in any other condition than at present." The circle was scheduled by the Office of Works as an ancient monument in 1925, but its interior remained under the plough until as late as 1999. References
Liberton Hospital

Liberton Hospital was a facility for geriatric medicine on Lasswade Road in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was managed by NHS Lothian. It closed at the end of December 2025. Intermediate care and outpatient services are now based at Ellen's Glen Community Hospital. History The hospital was designed by John Dick Peddie and George Washington Browne and opened in 1906. Liberton operated in partnership with the Longmore Hospital and the two hospitals together became known as the Royal Edinburgh Hospital for Incurables. The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948 and a new four‑storey geriatric facility was built on the site in 1963. Redevelopment plans In 2014, the health board considered proposals to demolish the hospital and three others, with a view to replacing these facilities with care villages which would consist of buildings more suited to social care. In April 2023 it was announced that Edinburgh Council had bought the hospital site and grounds from NHS Lothian for £14.8m. The deal includes the former Blood Transfusion Centre. The council plans to build around 400 homes, a number of which will be accessible and for social or mid-market rent. The 1960s buildings are to be demolished and original Edwardian-era buildings redeveloped. The aim is to create an accessible neighbourhood of low-carbon housing. Originally the NHS was to occupy the premises until March 2025 to allow the hospital’s remaining services to be relocated. However, the hospital-at-home team and the Medical Day Hospital were relocated to Ellen's Glen Hospital at the end of 2025. The number of complex care beds have been reduced in line with the Edinburgh Integration Joint Board strategic vision. References

Der Verwaltungssitz ist in Haddington, die größte Stadt ist allerdings Musselburgh. East Lothian ist auch eine traditionelle Grafschaft, die bis 1921 unter dem Namen Haddingtonshire bekannt war; als solche grenzt sie an Midlothian im Westen und Berwickshire im Süden. Als untersteste Verwaltungsebene waren 26 Civil Parishes eingerichtet, die jedoch 1930 den administrativen Aufgaben entledigt und schließlich durch Community Council Areas ersetzt wurden. Heute dienen sie noch statistischen und Verwaltungszwecken (siehe Liste der Civil Parishes in East Lothian).
