Duddingston House

Duddingston House est un manoir du XVIIIe siècle situé à Édimbourg, en Écosse, au sud-est du village de Duddingston. Il a été construit dans les années 1760 pour James Hamilton, 8e comte d'Abercorn, et a été conçu en style palladien par Sir William Chambers. Il est maintenant protégé comme bâtiment classé de catégorie A et les terrains de la bâtisse sont inclus dans l'inventaire des jardins et des paysages désigné en Écosse, liste nationale des jardins importants. Histoire Les terres de Duddingston ont été achetées par James Hamilton, 8e comte d’Abercorn (1712-1789), en 1745 au duc d’Argyll. Pendant le soulèvement jacobite de 1745, la cavalerie de Bonnie Prince Charles Stuart campa dans le parc, avant la bataille de Prestonpans. En 1760, Lord Abercorn chargea Sir William Chambers (1723-1796) de concevoir une nouvelle maison modeste construite entre 1763 et 1768. Le coût total de la maison et des terrains, présenté par Robert Robinson dans le style de Capability Brown, était d'environ 30 000 £. Après la mort de Lord Abercorn en 1789, la succession passa à ses héritiers mais la maison fut louée. Divers propriétaires se succédèrent par la suite, la Holyrood High School a été construite dans une partie du parc dans les années 1960. À ce moment-là, la bâtisse était en mauvais état et, en 1959, elle fut achetée par M. Gladstone, qui l'a restaurée et ouverte comme hôtel en 1963. Dans les années 1990, les écuries et les cours de la maison ont été transformées en maisons de ville, tandis que la maison principale a été restaurée par la société Burrell et convertie en bureaux.

Duddingston Kirk

Duddingston Kirk is a Parish Church in the Church of Scotland, located adjacent to Holyrood Park in Duddingston Village, on the east side of the City of Edinburgh. Regular services are held at the kirk. History Cassel identifies the building as being Anglo-Saxon (i.e. pre Norman conquest). The church was built in or around 1124 by Dodin, a Norman knight, on land granted to Kelso Abbey by King David I of Scotland. As originally built, the kirk consisted of the chancel, nave and square tower. The traditional pattern of an east–west axis was adopted. The original entrance on the south wall includes a particularly fine example of Scoto-Norman stone carving, with a round-topped doorway. Following the enlargement of the parish boundaries, the Prestonfield Aisle was added in 1631. This consists of a gallery, downstairs area and burial vaults were on the north side. In 1968 the kirk's interior was reconditioned, with the former pipe organ removed. Given its proximity to central Edinburgh, Duddingston has long been a favourite location for many of the city's artists and professionals. The novelist Walter Scott was ordained an elder at Duddingston in 1806. The kirk has also been used as a venue during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Ministers From 1805–1840 the minister was the painter John Thomson. He was replaced in 1841 by James Macfarlane. Other ministers include Charles Lumsden and Robert Monteith of Salmonet in the 17th century, and Robert Pollock in the 18th century. Stained glass The north triple window in the gallery, designed by Douglas Strachan, is dedicated to Joan Carfrae, wife of the security agency founder Allan Pinkerton. The stained glass immediately east of the pulpit commemorates Stevenson Macadam, an elder in the church. Duddingston Kirkyard Notable burials and memorials include: William Dick-Cunyngham VC (memorial only) David Thomas Ker Drummond Benjamin Duff Dunbar (1808-1897) James Macfarlane Mackintosh MacKay (1792-1873) Moderator of the General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland in 1849 Thomas Meik engineer James Browne LLD is apparently in the base of the church tower.

Castello di Dudhope

Il castello di Dudhope (inglese: Dudhope Castle) è uno storico edificio della città scozzese di Dundee (Scozia meridionale), situato nella zona di Dudhope e realizzato nella forma attuale nel 1580, ma le cui origini risalgono alla fine del XIII secolo. Un tempo residenza dei connestabili di Dundee, è uno dei più antichi edifici della città. Storia Nel 1298, vennero nominati connestabili di Dundee i componenti della famiglia Skrymgeour, originaria del Fife. Gli Skrymgeour fecero così realizzare una propria residenza all'interno della tenuta di Dudhope. Nel 1460 l'edificio originario venne sostituito da un nuovo edificio, a sua volta ricostruito nel 1580. Nella seconda metà del XVII secolo, il castello fu ceduto dalla famiglia Skrymogeour a John Graham di Claverhouse, detto "Bonnie Dundee" (morto nel 1689 nella battaglia di Killiecrankie). In seguito, tra il 1694 e il 1790, risiedettero nel castello i componenti della famiglia Douglas, trasferitasi poi a Dudhope House. Il primo di questi fu Archibald Douglas, conte di Forfar, che nel 1694 aveva ottenuto il ruolo di connestabile, ruolo che fu abolito nel 1784 da suo cugino. Il castello fu quindi affittato da William Douglas alla British Woollen Co. nel 1792-1793 e fu riconvertito a mulino fino al 1795, dopodiché fu affittato dall'Ordinance Office e adibito a caserma fino al 1880-1881. Qualche anno dopo, segnatamente nel 1883, l'edificio venne acquistato dal comune di Dundee. In seguito, il 28 settembre 1895, venne inaugurato un parco attorno al castello per volere di Sir James Low. Nel corso della seconda guerra mondiale, il castello di Dudhope è stato nuovamente adibito a caserma. Il castello, sottoposto a a un'opera di restauro tra il 1985 e il 1989, è stato utilizzato per ospitare vari eventi culturali ed è diventato sede dei corsi di economia di una delle due università della città, l'Abertay University. Architettura Il castello di Dudhope si erge su un promontorio dell'area collinare nota come Dundee Law, all'interno del parco di Dudhope. L'edificio è a pianta a forma di L ed è costituito da quattro piani. Nell'area del castello, si trova un pozzo risalente al 1743 e trasferito in loco nel 1828.

Dugald Stewart Monument

The Dugald Stewart Monument is a memorial to the Scottish Enlightenment philosopher Dugald Stewart (1753–1828). It is situated on Calton Hill overlooking the city of Edinburgh and was designed by Scottish architect William Henry Playfair. Background Dugald Stewart was a professor at the University of Edinburgh and a key figure during the Scottish Enlightenment, holding the chair of moral philosophy from 1786 until he died in 1828. The Royal Society of Edinburgh commissioned the monument and selected its site in 1830. It was completed in September 1831, and is a category A listed building as of 19 April 1966. Playfair's design is based on the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens, Greece, and is a circular temple of nine fluted Corinthian columns around an elevated urn, on a circular podium. This example of the architecture of ancient Greece had been brought to wider attention by James "Athenian" Stuart and Nicholas Revett's illustrated survey, The Antiquities of Athens, published in 1762. The choragic form was also used for the nearby contemporaneous Robert Burns Monument, designed by Thomas Hamilton. Playfair also designed the nearby National Monument of Scotland (with Charles Robert Cockerell) and was also responsible for the thoroughfare that encircles Calton Hill on three sides, comprising Royal Terrace, Carlton Terrace and Regent Terrace.

Dumfries Museum

Das Dumfries Museum ist ein Museum und ehemaliges Observatorium in der schottischen Stadt Dumfries in der Council Area Dumfries and Galloway. 1961 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Das Museum liegt an der Einmündung der Rotchell Road in die Church Street in den zentrumsnahen Stadtteilen westlich des Nith. Geschichte In den 1830er Jahren wurde die Einrichtung eines Observatoriums in Dumfries beschlossen. Dieses sollte zum Eintreffen des Halleyschen Kometen 1835 fertiggestellt sein. Auf Grund von Verzögerungen verschob sich die Eröffnung jedoch bis in den August 1836. Das Observatorium wurde in einer ehemaligen Turmwindmühle eingerichtet, die wahrscheinlich um 1790 erbaut wurde. Nach der Einrichtung einer Wassermühle war sie zuvor obsolet geworden. Südlich des Turms wurde später ein modernes Gebäude hinzugefügt. Sammlung Das Museum zeigt regionalgeschichtliche Exponate beginnend bei Fossilien über neolithische Äxte, römische und keltische Fundstücke bis hin zu mittelalterlichen Werkzeugen. Darauf aufbauend sind Exponate aus der Zeit der Industrialisierung sowie eine Sammlung historischer medizinischer Werkzeuge und das erste Pedalfahrrad ausgestellt. Neben der Besiedlungsgeschichte des Nithsdales und des Nordufers des Solway Firth liegt ein Fokus auf der im ehemaligen Observatorium installierten Camera Obscura. Diese wurde zusammen mit dem Teleskop im Jahre 1836 installiert und ist heute das älteste funktionstüchtige Exemplar der Welt. Mit Ausnahme der Besichtigung der Camera Obscura ist der Eintritt kostenfrei. Im Dumfries Museum befindet sich auch das Archiv des deutschen Amateurarchäologen Werner Kissling (1895–1988).

Dumfries Museum

Dumfries Museum and Camera Obscura, located in Dumfries in Dumfries & Galloway, is the largest museum in the region. The museum has extensive collections relating to local and history from the pre-historic era. The museum also has the world's oldest working camera obscura. Admission is free, though a small fee applies for the camera obscura. Collections The museum's collections cover all material relating to the natural history and human pre-history of the region, from geology to dress, folk material, archaeology and early photographs. Notable artefacts include: A cast of the skull of Robert the Bruce as well as femur and foot bones. A Bronze Age cist burial including the remains of a 35-year-old man from the beaker people. A large collection of Roman and Celtic stone crosses and funerary monuments. A replica of the first bicycle, as designed by Kirkpatrick Macmillan. The photographic archive of Dr Werner Kissling. Personal items belonging to Thomas Carlyle Fossil reptile tracks from the local Permian sandstone including Corncockle Quarry. History Originally built as a four-storey windmill on Corbelly hill, the highest point in Maxwelltown, in 1798, the site was purchased by Dumfries and Maxwellton Astronomical Society in 1834. Over a two-year period the tower was converted into an Observatory, and with advice from polar explorer Sir John Ross, a telescope was purchased from a Mr Morton of Kilmarnock. With its completion in 1836, unfortunately the observatory missed the arrival of Halley's Comet; however, it was used in this role until 1872. The main hall of the museum was built in 1862, and housed the collections of the newly founded Dumfries and Galloway Natural History & Antiquarian Society. In 1981 a major addition of a new gallery, shop, search room and offices for curatorial staff was added. In 2011 the exterior of the windmill tower was refurbished. Camera Obscura The camera obscura is currently the oldest working example in the world, and has been in continuous operation since 1836. The instrument, based in the top level of the windmill tower, offers a complete 360° panorama of the surrounding landscape. The image is projected onto a focusing table below, and operated using a simple rope mechanism. In order to protect the instrument it is only operated during the summer months and on days when weather conditions are clear. The museums photographic expert for thirty years was Werner Kissling who donated his photos to the museum when he died. References External links Official website Dumfries Museum on Future Museum

Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary

Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary is the main hospital in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. The hospital is managed by NHS Dumfries and Galloway. History The hospital has its origins in a small facility at Mill Hole in Burns Street in central Dumfries which opened as the Dumfries Infirmary in 1776. The hospital moved to High Dock in 1778 before becoming the Dumfries and Galloway Infirmary in 1785 and the Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary in 1807. Dr William Scott administered sulphuric ether, in the first use of anesthetics in the United Kingdom, at the High Dock facility in 1846. The High Dock facility has since been demolished. The hospital relocated to a new building at Nithbank which was designed by John Starforth, completed in 1873 and was extended in 1897. The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948. The old Nithbank facility was subsequently used to accommodate the offices of NHS Dumfries and Galloway. The hospital moved again this time to a facility at Bankend Road, which was designed by Boswell, Mitchell & Johnston and opened by the Queen in 1975. A cancer care centre was opened by Princess Alexandra in 2003. The old Bankend Road facility continues to be used as the Mountainhall Treatment Centre. In 2012 it was announced that a new 350-bed hospital would be built on the A75 close to the Garroch roundabout. It was procured under a Private Finance Initiative contract in March 2015. The hospital was designed by Ryder Architecture and NBBJ and built by Laing O'Rourke at a cost of £213 million. The new hospital was officially opened by the Princess Royal in July 2018. Services The hospital serves the town of Dumfries and the catchment area of South West Scotland with a population of c.150,000. It is made up entirely of single rooms, 344 of them, each with a computer point to allow real-time updating of patient records. The hospital is a supporter of The Princess Royal Trust for Carers.

Dun Skeig

Dun Skeig is an oval Iron Age dun (fort) complex which is perched atop a rocky outcropping about 130 metres (430 ft) above sea level overlooking West Loch Tarbert in Kintyre, Argyll and Bute, Scotland, about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) northwest of the village of Clachan. The dun site includes a collection of prehistoric buildings and evidence of human habitation. Most notable of the buildings on the site are a rocky Iron Age fort and a vitrified fort that has been grown over with ground vegetation. The Iron Age fort measures about 14 metres (46 ft) in diameter with an outer wall of 4 metres (13 ft) thick and has a single entrance. The moderately challenging climb to the peak and the views of the surrounding landscape that the vantage point offers make it clear why the site was selected as a defensive position. Other nearby prehistoric sites Other nearby sites on the Kintyre Peninsula include: Avinagillan Standing Stone Ballochroy Standing Stones Corriechrevie Cairn.
