Seafield, West Lothian

Seafield is a small village in West Lothian, Scotland. Seafield lies 1+1⁄4 miles (2.0 km) east of Blackburn, 2 miles (3.2 km) southeast of Bathgate (grid reference NT007660) and 3 miles (4.8 km) west of Livingston. Geography The village lies between the River Almond to the south and the M8 motorway to the north. The nearby Seafield Law is 198 metres. History Seafield grew initially in the 1870s to 1900s to provide housing for coal and oil-shale mine workers, with three poorer-quality rows north of the road demolished but two later, well-built terraces of miners' rows on the south side now restored in the centre of the village. In the 1970s, new housing was laid out with Scandinavian style houses that have alternating mono-pitched roofs and slender chimneys. The oil-shale works north of the village were cleared by the 1960s, leaving a large oil-shale bing (tip). The County Council then used the works site and the adjacent peat moss as its main domestic refuse tip until the 1980s. This generated serious water pollution problems, aggravated by outflow being east towards the New Town of Livingston. One of the last large-scale Scottish Enterprise-led land reclamation schemes, in the 1990s, utilised the spent shale (which is inert, having been retorted at high temperature) to blind over the tip, with full pollution control measures. Seafield Bing itself was remodelled to a design brief by West Lothian Planners, to resemble the natural basalt sills and lava flow landscapes of the Bathgate Hills and Fife, with a serrated crestline, and a proper summit now estimated at 198m asl in height, and renamed with approval of the Community Council "Seafield Law". Together with Easter Inch MosS, Seafield Law has a wooded setting that is designated as a 148 hectare local nature reserve and recreational area. Notable buildings Situated just outside Seafield is Blackburn House. This is an A-listed building built in 1772 by George Moncrieff. Community facilities Seafield has several community amenities including a primary school, shop, community centre, bowling club and annual Gala day. The community centre is based in the old primary school building of the village, a gift from a private benefactor. Notably, Seafield was the birthplace of the now-defunct Seafield & District Pipe Band, which for many years focused on teaching children and teenagers to play the pipes and drums. The band was associated with successful solo bagpiper Chris Armstrong, who served as a piping tutor for the band and then as its Pipe Major in 1998; References External links Museum of the Scottish shale oil industry - Seafield Rows

Seafield Tower

Seafield Tower ist die Ruine einer Niederungsburg (Tower House) an der Nordseeküste der schottischen Council Area Fife. Der im 16. Jahrhundert aus örtlichem roten Sandstein errichtete Turm liegt zwischen den Ortschaften Kinghorn und Kirkcaldy. An ihm vorbei führt der Fife Coastal Path. Geschichte Die Ländereien von Seafield und Markinch erhielt Robert Multrare 1493 von König Jakob II. Die Ländereien und das Tower House blieben bis 1631 in Händen der Familie Multrare (oder Moultrie). Dann wurden sie an den damaligen Erzbischof von Glasgow, James Law, verkauft. Mit Laws Tod 1632 ging das Eigentum an dem Turm verloren, er fiel in die Hände der Familie Methven. Der letzte Eigentümer war Methven of Raith, der ihn 1733 aufgab. Der Turm soll fünf Stockwerke hoch gewesen sein, 2,5 Meter dicke Mauern gehabt haben und eine Innenraumfläche von 6,09 Metern × 4,27 Metern. Zwischen 1973 und 2015 hatte Historic Scotland die Überreste des Turms als historisches Bauwerk der Kategorie B gelistet. 2015 wurde der Turm aus dieser Liste gestrichen, da er seit 2003 in ein umfangreicheres Gebiet um den Turm integriert worden war, das seit 1937 als Scheduled Monument galt.

Seafield Tower

Seafield Tower is a ruined castle on the North Sea coast of Fife in Scotland (grid reference NT279884). The monument is also referred to as a 'Medieval Tower House'. The tower is located on the route of the Fife Coastal Path. History Built in the 16th century, Seafield Tower lies between Kinghorn and Kirkcaldy in Fife, Scotland. The lands of Seafield and Markinch were granted to Robert Multrare by James II of Scotland in 1443. The lands and the tower remained in the ownership of the Multray family (or Moultrie as the family name became) until 1631 when the lands were sold to James Law, the Archbishop of Glasgow. With Law's death in 1632, the tower passed through various owners. The Methven family were the last known owners of the tower. Its last owner was Methven of Raith who abandoned it in 1733, leaving it to it fall into disrepair and, eventually, ruin. The completed tower was believed to be five stories high with walls 5 feet (1.5 m) thick and maximum internal dimensions of 20 feet 2 inches (6.1 m) by 14 feet 4 inches (4.4 m). It was constructed in an 'L' shape configuration using local red sandstone. The Tower would have had a vaulted storage area on the ground floor and a Great Hall on the first floor. The upper levels would have been the lord's accommodation. A plan from 1774 shows ancillary buildings - including a bakery, brewery and stables - which were located in an enclosure to the west of the Tower. These buildings would normally have been protected by a barmkin (curtain wall) but, unfortunately, any evidence of this has been lost due to coastal erosion. As it stands today, the ruin is merely a shell in derelict condition. Following a storm in January 2013, a significant part of the northwest corner of the tower collapsed. Scheduled monument Between 1973 and 2015 the remains of the tower were designated a Category B listed building by Historic Scotland. The tower was removed from Category B in 2015 as, since 2003, the tower and its surrounding area (which has been scheduled since 1937) have been designated as one combined scheduled monument.

Seanna Chnoc

Seanna Chnoc (schottisch-gälisch für „alter Hügel“) ist eine schottische Insel der Äußeren Hebriden. Sie liegt in der gleichnamigen Council Area und war historisch Teil der traditionellen Grafschaft Ross-shire beziehungsweise der Verwaltungsgrafschaft Ross and Cromarty. Als einziges Bauwerk auf der unbewohnten Insel ist ein Cairn verzeichnet, der jedoch aus moderner Zeit stammt und daher keinerlei historische Bedeutung besitzt. Geographie Seanna Chnoc ist die äußerste der zahlreichen Inseln in der Bucht Loch Roag vor der Insel Lewis. Sie liegt etwa 600 Meter nördlich von Bearsay und drei Kilometer nordwestlich von Little Bernera. Die schroff aus dem Wasser steigende Felseninsel weist eine maximale Länge von 580 Metern bei einer Breite von 300 Metern auf. Ihre höchste Erhebung ragt 94 Meter über den Meeresspiegel auf.

Seanna Chnoc

Seanna Chnoc (English: "old hill"), correctly known as Seana Bheinn is an islet in outer Loch Ròg, Lewis, Scotland. It lies north west of Great Bernera and Bearasaigh. Stac nam Balg lies offshore to the north and there is a cave in the north west of the island. There is no regular access to the island although boat excursions are available locally. The correct name for the island is Seanna Bheinn and this is the name that has always been in local use by the local population although it is highly likely an earlier Norse name was used. The name Seanna Chnoc was introduced by the Ordnance Survey through the advice of linguistic academics but is unfortunately incorrect. The island appears to have been called Garvilan in the early 19th century which is an English corruption of Garbh Eilean meaning an inhospitable island and in 1549, Dean Monro wrote: "Besides the coist of Leozus towards the said north-west lyis ane Ile callit Garvellan, gude for store and fishing, perteining to Mccloyd of Leozus".

Seaton Park

Seaton Park is a public park in the Old Aberdeen area of Aberdeen, Scotland. One of the city's biggest parks, it was bought by the city for use as a public park in 1947 from Major Malcolm Vivian Hay, a cryptographer during the First World War and a historian of Catholic and Jewish history. It was formerly the grounds of Seaton House, which had been the Hay family home for centuries, but was gradually wound down as a family house due to inheritance tax, the contents were sold off in 1959 and the already dilapidated house burnt down in 1963. The River Don passes through the edge of the park, and there are paths running along both sides of the river. There are well-maintained flower beds on the lawns that run down the centre of one of the park's main pathways, with flowers that are tended daily and planted annually. There is also a secluded set of walled gardens next to a small private housing mews called Seaton Stables. The park is low-lying and has a tendency to flood. In 2016, part of the park was turned into a wetland area to help manage the flooding while creating new wildlife habitats. The park is often used as a path for students of the University of Aberdeen to move between the university campus and the Hillhead Halls of Residence, which lie atop a hill overlooking the park on the side opposite from St. Machar's Cathedral. The path from the residence halls to the campus leads along the flowerbeds on the main walkway and past the Cathedral via the Chanonry Road. The University authorities advise students to be cautious during dark hours due to the lack of street lighting. Historic features The park is home to Mr Therm, a locomotive manufactured by Andrew Barclay in 1947 that previously operated at the Aberdeen Gas Works. The locomotive has formed part of the children's playpark since 1974. During 2017, it was refurbished and repainted. Wallace Tower, situated at the southern edge of the park, is a 17-century building that was formerly located in the city centre but was dismantled and moved to Seaton Park in the 1960s to make room for an expansion of Marks & Spencer.

Brora (destilleri)

Brora er et single malt-skotsk whisky-destilleri i Brora, Skotland. Det var i drift fra 1819 til 1983, hvorefter det blev henlagt indtil 2021, hvor det blev genaktiveret. Det ejes af Diageo. Historie Brorablev opført i 1819 af Marquess of Stafford, men var kendt som "Clynelish" indtil åbningen af det nye Clynelish Distillery i 1968, hvorefter navnet på det oprindelige Clynelish blev ændret til "Brora". George Lawson og hans sønner overtog destilleriet i 1846. I 1896 solgte de det til Glasgow-blenderen James Ainslie og hans forretningspartner John Risk. I 1912 gik The Distillers Company ind i ejerskabet sammen med John Risk og overtog fuld kontrol over destilleriet i 1925. Mellem maj 1969 og juli 1973 producerede Brora en kraftigt tørverøget whisky til brug i blends; dette skete for at afhjælpe en mangel på Islay whisky forårsaget af tørke i regionen. Det meste af den whisky, der blev produceret som Brora efter 1973, er i den let tørverøgede Highland-stil. I begyndelsen af 1983 blev produktionen ved Brora indstillet, og destilleriet blev henlagt. Udgivelsen af Brora 1972 40-års i 2014 var på det tidspunkt den dyreste single malt, der nogensinde var lanceret af Diageo, med en udsalgspris på £7.000. Den 9. oktober 2017 meddelte Diageo, at Brora ville blive genåbnet med genoptagelse af produktionen i 2020. Den 19. maj 2021 blev det annonceret, at genåbningen var fuldført, og at det første nye fad med spiritus var blevet fyldt. Referencer Eksterne henvisninger
Brora (Whiskybrennerei)

Brora ist eine Whiskybrennerei in Brora, Highland, Schottland. Das Brennereigebäude ist in den schottischen Denkmallisten in die Kategorie B einsortiert. Die Brennerei wurde 1819 als Clynelish-Brennerei aus politischen Gründen von George Granville Levison-Gower, dem zweiten Marquis of Stafford und späterem Duke of Sutherland errichtet. Ziel war es, Schwarzbrennern im Verlaufe der Highland Clearances die Grundlage ihres Geschäfts zu entziehen, um sie zur Umsiedlung zu bewegen. In den ersten Dekaden des Bestehens ist die Geschichte der Brennerei von zahlreichen Pächterwechseln geprägt. Erst George Lawson führte die Brennerei ab 1846 über einen längeren Zeitraum hinweg. 1896 wurde die Brennerei zu gleichen Teilen an die Blender James Ainslie & Co aus Glasgow und John Risk, der auch die Bankier-Brennerei in Banknock betrieb, verkauft. Im Jahre 1925 ging der Betrieb in den Besitz der Distillers Company Ltd. (DCL) über und gehörte ab 1930 zu Scottish Malt Distillers (SMD). Zwischen 1931 und 1939 war die Brennerei geschlossen. 1967 sollte die Brennerei durch die neu errichtete Clynelish-Brennerei ersetzt werden. Da die Produktion des zum Blenden benötigten stark getorften Whiskys auf der Insel Islay zu dieser Zeit witterungsbedingt stockte, wurden die jetzt als Clynelish A bezeichnete Brennerei und der Clynelish B genannte neue Betrieb zunächst parallel betrieben, wobei in Clynelish A die Produktion stark getorften Whiskys durchgeführt wurde. Später wurden Clynelish A in Brora und Clynelish B in Clynelish umbenannt. Die Brora-Brennerei wurde noch bis 1983 betrieben, ein Jahr in dem mit Banff, Dallas Dhu, Glen Mhor, Glenlochy, Glenugie, North Port, Port Ellen und St. Magdalene noch acht weitere Brennereien geschlossen wurden. Als Alfred Barnard im Rahmen seiner bedeutenden Whiskyreise im Jahre 1886 die Brennerei besuchte, verfügte sie über eine jährliche Produktionskapazität von mehr als 20.000 Gallonen. Es standen zwei Brennblasen zur Verfügung, eine Grobbrandblase (Wash Still) und eine Feinbrandblase (Spirit Still). Im Oktober 2017 kündigte Eigentümer Diageo an, die Destillerien Port Ellen und Brora wieder zu eröffnen und ab 2020 wieder Whisky zu brennen. Seit Mai 2021 produziert Brora wieder.

Brora distillery

Brora distillery is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky distillery in Brora, Scotland. It operated between 1819 and 1983 before being mothballed until 2021, when it was reactivated. History The Brora distillery was built in 1819 by the Marquess of Stafford, although it was known as "Clynelish" until the opening of the Clynelish Distillery in 1968, whereupon the name of the original Clynelish was changed to "Brora". George Lawson and his sons took over the distillery in 1846. In 1896 they sold it to the Glasgow blender James Ainslie and his business partner John Risk. In 1912 The Distillers Company join John Risk and take full control of the distillery in 1925. Between May 1969 and July 1973, Brora produced a heavily peated whisky to supply for blending; this was done to cover a shortage of Islay whisky caused by a drought in that region. Most of the whisky produced as Brora after 1973 is in the lightly peated Highland style. In early 1983, production at Brora was stopped and the distillery was mothballed. The release of the 1972 Brora 40 year old in 2014 was the most expensive single malt ever released by Diageo at the time, with a retail price of £7,000. On 9 October 2017 Diageo announced that it will re-open the Brora distillery with production resuming in 2020. On 19 May 2021 it was announced the reopening was complete and the first new cask of spirit had been filled. References External links Official website
