Drummin Bridge

Die Drummin Bridge ist eine kleine Brücke, die am Nordrand der Ortschaft Melgarve im Norden Schottlands steht. Erbaut wurde sie 1731 als Teil einer Straße über den Corrieyairack Pass, die unter George Wade errichtet worden war, um Truppen zwischen Dalwhinnie und Fort Augustus bewegen zu können. Sie ist heute für den regulären Verkehr nicht mehr nutzbar. Die Brücke selbst, die über den nach Süden zum Spey fließenden Bach Caoehan Riabhaeh Burn führt, hat einen danebenstehenden modernen Ersatzbau. Das ursprüngliche Bauwerk umfasst einen Bogen aus Bruchstein mit einer Spannweite von 5,60 Metern und einer niedrigen Brüstung. Der Nordteil zerbrach 1986, er wurde daraufhin auf Basis von Stahlbeton im Kern neu errichtet. Um ähnliche Ereignisse auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite zu verhindern, wurde dieser Teil abgetragen und schichtweise neu aufgebaut. Sofern möglich wurden die Originalsteine verwendet. Seit 1971 ist die Brücke als Listed Building der Kategorie B ausgewiesen und steht daher unter Denkmalschutz.

Kirkwall Sheriff Court

Kirkwall Sheriff Court is a judicial structure in Watergate, Kirkwall, Orkney, Scotland. The structure, which was the headquarters of Orkney County Council and is currently used as a courthouse, is a Category C listed building. History The first judicial building in Kirkwall was the old town hall in the grounds of the St Magnus Cathedral which was erected with a grant from James Douglas, 14th Earl of Morton in 1745. The building accommodated the county offices and courtroom as well as the burgh council offices. However, by the early 1870s, the building was very dilapidated, and it was decided to establish a dedicated courthouse. The site the sheriff selected was in the grounds of the Earl's Palace. The foundation stone for the new building was laid on 22 June 1876. It was designed by David Bryce in the Scottish baronial style, built in coursed sandstone at a cost of £3,900 and was officially opened on 27 August 1877. David Bryce died in 1876 and execution of the design was overseen by his nephew, John, who worked with him in later life. The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage of four bays facing north towards Palace Road. The second bay on the left, which was slightly projected forward, featured a doorway with a moulded surround and a panel above; there was sash window on the first floor with a corbeled and crow stepped gable above. The outer bays were fenestrated with sash windows; the left hand bay was surmounted by a stepped gable while the first floor windows in the right hand bays were surmounted by gablets. The east and west gables contained tablets depicting the arms of Bishop Robert Reid and Bishop Edward Stewart. Internally, the principal room was the courtroom which featured the royal arms of Scotland carved in wood and mounted on a navy blue oblong panel. Following the implementation of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889, which established county councils in every county, the new county leaders needed to identify offices for Orkney County Council. The new county council established its offices in the building which became known as "County Buildings". After the abolition of Orkney County Council in 1975, the building was used solely for judicial purposes. The building continues to serve as the venue for sheriff court hearings in the area, although, due to staffing issues with the escort services, hearings involving juries were moved to the mainland in July 2023.

Trumland

Trumland is a Category B listed house and associated estate on Rousay, in Orkney, Scotland, built in its present form in the 1870s. Designed by David Bryce (1803–1876), the house was commissioned by Sir F W Traill-Burroughs (1831–1905) as a new family home after his marriage to Eliza D’Oyly Geddes (1849–1908) in 1870. Description Overlooking the sound between Rousay and the island of Wyre, the house is built in the Scottish Jacobean style, with crow-stepped gables and canted windows, made from the local Rousay stone, with fine carved finials and architectural detailing. The house is three stories high with an attic, gable windows and dormers creating a fourth story. The house utilized the first and second stories as the principal living and sleeping quarters for the owners, the majority of the ground floor and attics were made over to management of the house and estate. The first owner's initials, F.W.T.B, and his wife's initial's E.D.G and the date 1873 are carved on a panel above the front door. History Trumland was built to replace Westness House for General Sir Frederick W. Trail-Burroughs (1831-1905), who inherited Rousay and Wyre from his grand-uncle George W. Traill. Westness House, circa 1850, was the home of the Traill family on Rousay until 1863. Traill-Burroughs hired architect, David Bryce, in 1870 to build a new, larger family home after Traill-Burrough's marriage to Eliza D’Oyly Geddes on 4 June 1870. Traill-Burroughs and his wife chose a sheltered location for the site of the new house in a small valley through which a burn (stream) flows down to the sea. The new house was constructed between 1872 and 1873. Building costs were originally estimated to be £3,000, but the overall costs expanded to nearly £12,000 by the end of the project. Traill-Burroughs unsuccessfully tried to sell the Rousay estate, including both Westness House and Trumland House – beginning in 1889. He died in 1905. Trumland passed from the Traill-Burroughs family in the 1920s, and was later purchased by the Grant family of Grant's whisky, and was used as the summer residence for Mr Walter Grant, who also owned Highland Park whisky in Kirkwall, Orkney. Trumland was later sold again, and passed through a series of owners until a fire on 4 April 1985 caused the house considerable damage, leaving the property roofless and with the upper floors and principal rooms seriously damaged or destroyed. After re-roofing in 1985 the house was again sold, and passed un-restored through a series of owners until purchased by the present owners in 2002, who are restoring the house and gardens to its previous form.

Glenelg Church

Glenelg Church is a Category B listed building in Glenelg, Highland, Scotland. Of Church of Scotland denomination, the church dates to the 18th century. It is within the presbytery of Clèir Eilean Ì, and in the extended parish of South West Ross, which merged the parishes of Lochcarron, Applecross, Kinlochewe, Glenelg, Kintail and Lochalsh. The minister is Frederick (Fred) Vincent. Formerly, it was within the Presbytery of Lochcarron–Skye and in the parish of Glenelg, Kintail and Lochalsh. The congregation was split at the disruption, with a number of congregants forming the Free Church of Scotland in the Glenelg area. The building It is a rectangular harled building, with its west gable and rendered and outlined in ashlar. Repairs were carried out between 1821 and 1830, and the interior was re-cast in 1863 and 1929. An 18th-century bird-cage bellcote is on the west gable, with a stone cross adorning the east. It has a slate roof. Three windows with 19th-century glazing are in the south elevation. Graveyard There is one late 17th-/early 18th-century grave slab, with various others of 19th- and 20th-century dates. Church History The church of Glenelg was dedicated to St Cuimen (the 7th Abbot of Iona between 657 and 699). On 1 May 1650, the area of Glenelg parish was severed from the Presbytery of Lorn, and incorporated into the Presbytery of Skye. This lasted for a short time, and then it was soon given back to the Presbytery of Lorn. On 19 May 1724, The Presbytery of Lochcarron and the Synod of Glenelg were begun. The parish of Glenelg was joined into the Lochcarron Presbytery at this point. Volume VII of the Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae, published in 1928, records that there were mission chapels at Arnisdale and Lochhournhead. After the Disruption, a Free Church of Scotland was created (which later became the United Free Church). With the reunification in 1929, this building became Glenelg East Church. On 2 July 1931, it was united to Glenelg West (the original parish church). Following the union, the East Church became the Church Hall and the East Manse was sold. On 30 June 1968, Glenelg Church was linked with Glenshiel Church (near Ratagan). On 30 April 1972, Kintail was further added to the linkage. On 23 March 1987, the individual congregations of Glenelg, Glenshiel and Kintail became a union, and the charge was named Glenelg and Kintail. Usage The church is used weekly at 12:45pm for a service (to allow Minister and other worship leaders a chance to get there after leading worship elsewhere - usually Lochcarron and Lochalsh). The building is also used in the evenings, at 6pm, by the Glenelg, Arinsdale, Lochalsh & Glenshiel (Glenelg & Inverinate) Free Church of Scotland.

Portree Sheriff Court

Portree Sheriff Court is a judicial building in Somerled Square in Portree on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. The building, which continues to be used as a courthouse, is a Category C listed building. History The post of Sheriff of Skye dates back at least to 1223, when Paul Balkason was serving in that role under King Haakon IV of Norway. By the late 17th century, records show that the local laird, Sir Donald Macdonald, 3rd Baronet maintained a sheriff court, to keep his subjects in order. In the mid-19th century, court officials decided to commission a dedicated courthouse for the town. The site they selected was on the southwest side of Somerled Square. The new building was designed by James Matthews and William Lawrie in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar stone and was completed in 1877. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of three bays facing onto Somerled Square. The central bay, which was slightly projected forward, featured a square-headed doorway with a rectangular fanlight flanked by brackets supporting a cornice. The other bays on the ground floor and all the bays on the first floor were fenestrated by sash windows with moulded architraves. There were quoins at the edges of the central bay and at the corners of the building and, at roof level, there was an entablature, a pediment over the central bay, and urns at the corners. Internally, the principal room was the courtroom on the first floor, which featured a simple moulded cornice, and three police cells. In May 1885, the building was the venue for the trial of a group of crofters from Glendale, who had demanded the return of the common grazing land that had been taken from them during the Highland Clearances. They were accused of rioting, assault on a sheriff officer and breach of the peace. Two of them were found guilty and sentenced to three weeks in prison, a remarkably lenient sentence by the standards of the time. The building continues to serve as the venue for sheriff court hearings in the area, although, due to staffing issues with the escort services, hearings involving juries were moved to the mainland in July 2023.

Rona Lighthouse

Rona Lighthouse is a lighthouse in South Rona, Scotland. The lighthouse is managed by the Northern Lighthouse Board. It is Category B listed. The light should not be confused with the 1984 light located on the island of North Rona. History The lighthouse was built to the design and engineering of Thomas Stevenson and David Stevenson. It was first lighted on 10 November 1857. The lighthouse was manned with keepers cottages onsite. During the 20th century, supplies and the keepers were taken by boat from Portree to the Rona quay. By 1930, only the lighthouse keepers remained on Rona as all other residents had relocated to the mainland. In 1975, it was converted to automatic operation. The records of the manned lighthouse, including the shipwreck return book, stores and visitor books were transferred to the National Records of Scotland.

St Mary's, Fochabers

St Mary's, Fochabers is a Roman Catholic church in the village of Fochabers, Moray, in Scotland and is a part of the RC Diocese of Aberdeen. The building is significant for the high quality of its altar and stained glass windows. It is an active parish church served from Buckie with regular weekly Sunday Mass at 10.00 am. Fochabers, and the broader Bog o' Gight area, had been a hotbed of Catholic recusancy as the Gordon family of Gordon Castle had clung to the Catholic faith from 1560 to 1728. Prior to this building there had been a chapel in the old village of Fochabers, which had been spared burning by the Duke of Cumberland's troops after the Jacobite rebellion of 1745. , and later the area was served by the mission at St Ninian's Church, Tynet. The church was completed in 1826, the architect being James Gillespie Graham, with the foundation stone being laid by Father George Mathieson, who was born in Fochabers himself, in 1825. Fr Mathieson said of the new building that it will be 'an ornament to the town, and I hope draw respect to Religion'. In 1885 a reredos by Peter Paul Pugin was installed. Later, in memory of the Clapperton family, two stained glass windows designed by the acclaimed Franz Mayer & Co. were fitted, one with a paschal theme and one with a Marian theme.

St Columba's Church, Canna

St Columba's Church is a Category B listed building on the isle of Canna, in the Small Isles, Highland, Scotland. History Prior to the building of the church, the island's Protestant residents were obliged to travel 30 miles to the nearest parish church. The building of the church was instigated by Mary Johanna Cameron. She was the wife of Allan Thom, whose family owned Canna until 1938. The church was built in memory of Allan Thom's father, Robert, who purchased Canna in 1881 and had invested in improvements to the island's infrastructure. Although the church was built to serve the island's Protestant inhabitants, Canna was and is principally Catholic. The church is orientated East-North-East to West-South-West, rather than the more usual East-West, though why this was done is unclear. The church has a graveyard, though this contains only a single headstone; that of Joanna and Allan Thom. In 1969, an ornamental wrought-iron gate was added to the churchyard and listed status came in 1971. Owing to the shape of its tower, the church is known informally as 'The Rocket Church'. To the west of the church sits the sculptured cross, an ancient Celtic Christian cross dated to between the 8th and 9th century. Present Day Canna's present-day population rests at around 20. As most islanders are Catholic, St Columba's, whilst still consecrated for worship, is rarely used and is all but defunct. In 2015, it was reported that the National Trust for Scotland were seeking funds to repair the church and use it as an exhibition-space for memorabilia from the 1881-1938 period. Nearby is the island's Catholic chapel, also dedicated to St Columba. Gallery References
St Edward's Church, Sanday

St Edward's Church, Sanday, is a deconsecrated, and now disused church on the small isle of Sanday, Inner Hebrides, Scotland. The church was a gift to the people of Canna and Sanday from Gwendolyn Fitzalan-Howard, the 3rd Marchioness of Bute, who had it erected as a memorial to her father, Edward Fitzalan-Howard, 1st Baron Howard of Glossop, who had died in 1883. At the time, the islands were owned by the Thom family, though permission was willingly given by them, despite the fact that they were not Catholics, and would later build the Protestant St Columba's Church on Canna in 1912. Designed by William Frame, who was architect to the Butes, St Edward's was built between 1886 and 1890. The corbel course in the nave was supplied by Thomas Nicholls. Both of these men would later work on now-famous buildings in Cardiff, where the Marquess owned Cardiff Castle; the most prominent examples being the Pierhead Building, Castell Coch and the Animal Wall. At the time, the islands already had a Catholic chapel, dedicated to St Columba, which had been built on Canna in c. 1770. After St Edward's was built, the old church was converted into a shop and post office. The populations of Sanday and Canna declined during the 20th Century, with their combined inhabitants now numbering around 30. In the face of this loss of parishioners, the church began to suffer from structural deterioration and closed in 1963. Services have now been moved back into the old St Columba's chapel on Canna (a replacement post office was built nearby). The former church received Listed status in 1985. After closure, the church was used as a hostelry, and in 2001, was converted into a Gaelic study centre at the cost of £860,000. This was not a successful venture, as it was reported in 2010 that the centre had never been used, and was once again suffering from water damage. By 2016, it was once again disused.
