Prestwick South Parish Church

Die Prestwick South Parish Church ist ein Kirchengebäude der presbyterianischen Church of Scotland in der schottischen Stadt Prestwick in der Council Area South Ayrshire. 2003 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der Kategorie B aufgenommen. Die Kirche ist noch als solche in Verwendung. Geschichte Im Jahre 1879 beschloss das Gremium der United Presbyterian Church in Ayr den Bau einer kleinen Kirche in Prestwick. Nachdem der Bau im Oktober desselben Jahres begonnen wurde, wurde das Gebäude am 25. April 1880 eröffnet. Die Baukosten beliefen sich auf 450 £. Zunächst besuchten nur 20 bis 30 Personen die Gottesdienste, die Gemeinde wuchs durch Unterstützung jedoch bald an. 1882 wurde die Kirche zur Pfarrkirche und erhoben und mit Archibald Alison der erste Gemeindepfarrer eingesetzt. Im Dezember desselben Jahres wurde ein größerer Kirchenneubau beschlossen. Das von James A. Morris entworfene Gebäude wurde am 5. Juni 1884 eröffnet. Es dauerte zehn Jahre, bis die Kosten des Kirchenbaus (1900 £) und des Pfarrhauses getilgt waren. 1946 wurde das Pfarrhaus zunächst durch ein Gebäude an der Southpark Avenue, dann 1950 durch das heutige Pfarrhaus an der St Quivox Road ersetzt. Die Errichtung des neuen Gemeindesaals im Jahre 1960 schlug mit 11.575 £ zu Buche. Beschreibung Das Gebäude liegt an der Main Street (A79), der Hauptstraße Prestwicks. Das Mauerwerk des neogotischen Kirchenbaus besteht entlang der ostexponierten Frontseite aus grauem Sandstein, während an der Westseite Bruchstein vom roten Sandstein verbaut wurde. Die asymmetrische Ostfassade ist mit einem weiten Maßwerk gestaltet. Rechts davon befindet sich das zweiflüglige Eingangsportal mit profilierter Laibung und Giebel. Den nördlichen Abschluss der Fassade bildet der dreistöckige Glockenturm. Dieser ist mit Lanzettfenstern mit Kaffgesimsen, Strebepfeilern und kleinen Ecktürmchen mit spitzen Steinhelmen gestaltet. Der Turm schließt mit einem oktogonalen Helm mit Wetterfahne. Entlang der fünf Achsen weiten Nordfassade sind spitzbögige Zwillingsfenster angeordnet. Das Gebäude schließt mit schiefergedeckten Dächern ab. Die Firste sind mit Terrakottaziegeln eingedeckt.

Castle Terrace Car Park

Castle Terrace Car Park is a car park in Edinburgh in the brutalist style which was designated as a listed building in October 2019. It is situated across from Argyle House on Castle Terrace road. Opened in 1964 and finished around 1966, it is the first modern multistorey car park built in Scotland, and an early European example of the continuous ramp model. It has remained broadly unaltered since 1966 and is noted for being sensitively designed so as not to interfere with views of Edinburgh Castle. Commissioned by the Edinburgh Corporation, the car park was designed and built by Kinnear & Gordon and T. Waller Marwick & Associates between 1959 and 1966. The continuous ramp was inspired by a car park built in Nyropsgade, Copenhagen in 1958. The car park features in the film T2 Trainspotting.

Princes Square

Princes Square is a shopping centre on Buchanan Street in central Glasgow, Scotland. It was first designed and built in the 1840s by John Baird and other architects. It was developed in 1988 to a design by Edinburgh architects, the Hugh Martin Partnership. The new five-storey, 10,450-square-metre (112,500 sq ft) retail centre occupies a pre-existing cobbled Princes square dating from 1841, which was reconfigured by enclosing the entire space below a new clear glass domed and vaulted roof. An expansion was completed in summer 1999, extending the centre into Springfield Court and providing a further 1,860 square metres (20,000 sq ft) of retail area and a new retail frontage to Queen Street. The original cellars of the existing buildings were excavated to provide additional space. Inside the square, new galleries and stairs give access to the upper storeys. The original sandstone facades were preserved around the modern interior. The centre is adorned with decorative glass, tiling, lighting, timber and metalwork, designed by artists and craftsmen. The writer Bill Bryson referred to Princes Square as "one of the most intelligent pieces of urban renewal". The Hugh Martin Partnership earned several design awards for Princes Square, including the RIBA Scottish Regional Award for Architecture (1988), the Edinburgh Architectural Association Centenary Medal (1989), and a Civic Trust Award (1989). In 2016, it was voted Scotland's best building of the last 100 years. The original fabric has been protected as a category B listed building since 1970. In February 2024 the Princes Square Shopping Mall was sold for an undisclosed fee to property developers. References External links Princes Square web site Princes Square TV website

Princess Alexandra Eye Pavilion

The Princess Alexandra Eye Pavilion is a specialist eye treatment centre in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Lothian. It provides ophthalmic care for Edinburgh and the Lothians, and tertiary care for South East Scotland. History The Eye Dispensary for Edinburgh was founded in 1822 on the Lawnmarket. One of the founders was John Argyll Robertson, whose son Douglas Argyll Robertson would later work on the eye ward at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. In 1834 a separate Eye Infirmary was founded. Departments for Ear, Nose and Throat were subsequently added in 1883 to form the Eye, Ear and Throat Infirmary of Edinburgh. In 1922 the Infirmary and Dispensary amalgamated to combined premises on Cambridge Street. In 1853 a new surgical hospital was built between the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh on Infirmary Street and Surgeons' Hall, containing 19 beds for eye patients. The eye facilities were moved to the new Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh on Lauriston Place in 1870, and were expanded and moved to the purpose-built Moray Pavilion in 1903. This housed 44 beds and separate operating theatres, along with a substantial outpatient department on the ground floor. The current building, which was designed by Alison & Hutchison, formed part of the first phase of the intended re-development of the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and was built between 1965 and 1969. The departments at the Moray Pavilion and the Eye, Ear and Throat Infirmary were amalgamated at the new site. The building was named the Princess Alexandra Eye Pavilion in honour of Princess Alexandra, who officially opened the hospital on 1 October 1969. In 2005, then-Chancellor Gordon Brown became the patron of a centre of excellence within the Eye Pavilion. Brown had received treatment there himself in the 1970s after suffering a detached retina of his right eye in a game of rugby. NHS Lothian announced in July 2018 that a full business case would be developed with a view to moving the eye department to new premises at the BioQuarter campus adjacent to the current Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh site at Little France. Services The Princess Alexandra Eye Pavilion specialises in treatment and care of conditions affecting the eye. The hospital contains one in-patient ward, two day wards, three intraocular operating theatres, extraocular surgery and procedure facilities, outpatient clinics and an acute referral clinic for emergency treatment.

Priory Church, South Queensferry

The Priory Church of St Mary of Mount Carmel, commonly called the Priory Church or St Mary's Episcopal Church, is a congregation of the Scottish Episcopal Church located in South Queensferry, near Edinburgh, Scotland. The church building was constructed in the mid 15th century for the Carmelite Order. It served as the parish church in the 16th and 17th centuries, but subsequently fell into disrepair. In 1890 it was restored and reopened by the Scottish Episcopal Church. It is now the only medieval Carmelite church still in use in the British Isles, and is a category A listed building. History The Carmelite Friary at Queensferry was founded in 1330. The first known record dates from 1457, and is a grant of land from James Dundas of Dundas to the Carmelite order, for the purpose of building a monastery. Following the Scottish Reformation of 1560, the Carmelite monastery returned to the ownership of the Dundas family, and the former Carmelite church was subsequently used as the parish church. In the 17th century a new parish church was constructed (now the Old Parish Church on The Vennel), and the congregation moved out of the Carmelite church in 1635. In 1633, the church became the burial place for the Dundas family. The building was put to a variety of uses until the late 19th century, and during this time its condition deteriorated. The monastic buildings were demolished, as was the nave in 1875. Architects Henry Seymour and John Kinross completed a restoration scheme in 1889, and the following year James Montgomery, Dean of Edinburgh, reconsecrated the building for the Scottish Episcopal Church. Further restoration and repair works were carried out in 2000. The church building The building comprises the choir, tower and south transept of the Carmelite church. The nave lay to the west of the tower until demolished in 1875. In 1937 a small porch was added to the west of the tower. The former choir is used as the present nave, and the south transept is used as the baptistery. The tower was originally of three storeys Nothing remains of the other monastic buildings, thought to have been located to the north of the church, and no remains were recovered during archaeological digs in the 1970s.

Det ligger på toppen af Castle Street ved siden af St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art med udsigt til Glasgow Cathedral og Glasgow Royal Infirmary, og det er indrettet som museum, der er en del af Glasgow Museums Det er en listed building. Historie Provand's Lordship blev opført som en del af St Nicholas's Hospital af Andrew Muirhead, biksop af Glasgow i 1471. Der blev opført en udvidelse mod vest af William Bryson, som stod færdig i 1670. I begyndelsen af 1800-tallet blev bygningen brugt til at opbevare en kanon, støttet med penge fra Lord af Prebend (eller "Provand") af Barlanark. Senere blev huset købt af Morton-familien, der brugte det som slikbutik. Efter en donation fra Sir William Burrell i 1920'erne, der både bestod af penge samt en samling af skotske møbler fra 1600-tallet, blev huset købt til det nyoprettede Provand's Lordship Society, hvis mål var at beskytte og bevare bygningen. I 1978 blev bygningen overtaget af City of Glasgow, der restaurerede den. Den blev åbnet for offentligheden i 1983, og efter 2 års yderligere restaurering genåbnede den i 2000.

Provand’s Lordship

Provand’s Lordship ist eine Villa, ehemaliges Pfarrhaus und heutiges Museum in der schottischen Stadt Glasgow. 1966 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Geschichte Das Gebäude wurde im Jahre 1471 für den Bischof von Glasgow, Andrew Muirhead erbaut. Später ließ ein Bischof um die Villa das Pflegeheim St Nicholas Hospital einrichten, in dem zwölf alte Männer untergebracht werden konnten. Der Präbendar von Balernock bewohnte später das Gebäude. Für ihn war der Höflichkeitstitel Lord of Provan geläufig, worher der Gebäudename Provand’s Lordship entstammt. William Bryson zeichnet für die Erweiterung an der Westseite aus dem Jahre 1670 verantwortlich. Anhand der geringeren Mächtigkeit des Mauerwerks kann der Anbau eindeutig abgegrenzt werden. In den 1840er Jahren wurde ein Wohngebäude angebaut. Die Provand’s Lordship Society ließ das Gebäude 1906 restaurieren. Nachdem es 1921 überarbeitet wurde, wurde 1978 das Dach erneuert und Provand’s Lordship bis 1983 erneut restauriert. Die Gebäude des Pflegeheims wurden zwischenzeitlich abgebrochen. Provand’s Lordship, das älteste erhaltene Wohngebäude Glasgows, wird heute als Museum betrieben. Es sind Einrichtungsgegenstände aus dem 17. Jahrhundert sowie königliche Porträts ausgestellt. Der Eintritt ist frei. 2019 wurde Provand’s Lordship von rund 94.000 Personen besucht. 2024 betrug die Besucherzahl etwa 99.000 Personen. Beschreibung Provand’s Lordship steht an der Castle Street gegenüber dem Castle Square und der St Mungo’s Cathedral. Direkt südlich befindet sich ein heute zur University of Strathclyde gehörige, als Barony Hall bezeichnete ehemalige Kirche. Das Mauerwerk der dreistöckigen Villa besteht aus grob behauenem Bruchstein vom Sandstein. Die Fenster weisen unterschiedliche Abmaße auf und sind nicht symmetrisch verteilt. Die Kreuzgiebel an der westexponierten, rückwärtigen Fassade stammen aus dem 17. Jahrhundert. Am schmucklosen Südgiebel findet sich das Wappen Andrew Muirheads. Mit Ausnahme des Nordgiebels schließen alle Dächer mit Staffelgiebeln ab. Der Staffelgiebel der Nordseite ging im Zuge des Anbaus in den 1840er Jahren verloren. Die Dächer sind mit Schiefer eingedeckt.

Provand's Lordship

Provand's Lordship is a medieval historic house museum in Glasgow, Scotland. It is in the Townhead area, at the top of Castle Street within sight of Glasgow Cathedral and next to the St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art. History Provand's Lordship was built as part of St Nicholas's Hospital by Andrew Muirhead, Bishop of Glasgow, in 1471. A western extension, designed by William Bryson, was completed in 1670. In the 19th century it was acquired by the Morton Family who used it as a sweet shop. Following a generous donation from Sir William Burrell, in the form of cash as well a collection of seventeenth-century Scottish furniture in the late 1920s, the house was bought by the specially-formed Provand's Lordship Society, whose aim was to protect it. In 1978, the building was acquired by the City of Glasgow District Council who restored it. It was reopened to the public in 1983, and, following further restoration work which lasted two years, re-opened again in 2000.

Provand's Lordship

La Provand's Lordship è un edificio storico della città di Glasgow, in Scozia. Di origine medievale, è la casa più antica di Glasgow ancora esistente ed è oggi adibita a casa museo. Si trova vicino alla Cattedrale di San Mungo, che a sua volta è l'edificio più antico della città. La Provand's Lordship è stata costruita nel 1471 da Andrew Muirhead, vescovo di Glasgow, e faceva parte dell'ospedale St Nicholas. Lo stemma di Muirhead è tuttora visibile su un lato dell'edificio. Si pensa che l'edificio venisse usato per ospitare temporaneamente membri del clero e altri funzionari religiosi che si recavano alla cattedrale. Nell'Ottocento la casa era abitata dal canonico della prebenda di Barlanark e fu in questo periodo che si iniziò a chiamare Lord of Provan (da prebend) e quindi Provand's Lordship. Tra il XVIII e il XX secolo la maggior parte degli edifici intorno alla cattedrale vennero demoliti, incluso l'ospedale. Nel 1906 venne fondata la Provand's Lordship Society con lo scopo di preservare l'edificio. La società si finanziava affittando la casa stessa e con donazioni private. In particolare, nel 1927 il filantropo William Burrell donò una somma di denaro e alcuni mobili del XVII secolo, che ancora oggi sono usati per ammobiliare la casa. In 1978 la società ha donato l'edificio alla Città di Glasgow in cambio di un restauro completo. La casa è stata poi aperta al pubblico nel giugno del 1983. Al giorno d'oggi la Provand's Lordship è aperta al pubblico insieme al suo giardino posteriore (St Nicholas Garden) ed è ammobiliata con i mobili del XVII secolo donati da Burrell. Al primo piano è inoltre presente una collezione di ritratti di re e regine della storia britannica. Il soffitto dei piani superiori sembra più basso a causa della presenza di un contro pavimento inserito per proteggere i pavimenti originali in legno.
