Loch Trindlemoss

Il Loch Trindlemoss (chiamato anche Loch Irvine e Scott's Loch) era un piccolo lago scozzese, oggi prosciugato. Si trovava poco a nord della cittadina di Irvine, ed è esistito fino alla seconda metà del XVIII secolo. Storia Il lago è menzionato fin dal medioevo, quando nel 1297 venne temporaneamente instaurata la pace tra il regno di Scozia e il regno d'Inghilterra con la firma del Trattato d'Irvine, proprio mentre i due eserciti erano accampati sulle sponde opposte del lago. Fino al 1691 il lago e l'area circostante erano di proprietà di un tale Walter Scott, che in quell'anno vendette tutto a Patrick Warner, che ne cominciò l'opera di drenaggio per ottenere nuovi pascoli. Un successivo proprietario fu John Scott, dal quale venne tratto il nome alternativo Scott's Loch. Quando alla fine del '700 gli appartenenti alla setta dei buchaniti, seguaci della profetessa Elspeth Buchan, vennero espulsi da Irvine, vennero minacciati di annegamento nel lago in caso si fossero ripresentati. La mancanza di menzioni successive indica che di lì a poco lo specchio d'acqua si prosciugò del tutto, e da allora l'area si è urbanizzata.

Roxburgh

Roxburgh (schottisch-gälisch: Rosbrog) ist der Name eines Dorfes, das einst Hauptort der schottischen Grafschaft Roxburghshire war. Es liegt wenige Kilometer von Kelso und der Grenze zu England entfernt gehört heute zur Council Area Scottish Borders. Historische Stadt Roxburg Die historische Stadt Roxburgh, die etwa zweieinhalb Kilometer nordöstlich des Dorfes lag, existiert heute nicht mehr. Während des Mittelalters war Roxburgh neben Edinburgh, Stirling und Berwick-upon-Tweed eine der bedeutendsten Städte des Landes. Sie lag auf einer Halbinsel zwischen den Flüssen Tweed und Teviot im Zentrum der Lowlands und diente als Verteidigungsstützpunkt gegen englische Invasoren. Das Schloss Roxburgh Castle bewachte die schmalste Stelle der Halbinsel. König David I. erhob Roxburgh in den Rang einer königlichen Stadt (Royal Burgh) und gewährte der Stadt das Recht, Münzen zu prägen. Auf dem Höhepunkt des Wohlstands gab es hier nicht weniger als fünf Münzprägestätten. Die Stadt hatte drei Kirchen, ein Schloss, eine königliche Residenz, mehrere Schulen und öffentliche Gebäude, mehrere Märkte und auch ein Kloster. Roxburgh war ein Handelszentrum, nicht nur regional, sondern auch international. Bankiers aus Italien und Händler aus ganz Europa kamen hierher, um Handel mit Wolle und Leder zu treiben. Die Stadt wurde zwischen dem 13. und 15. Jahrhundert wiederholt von englischen und schottischen Truppen erobert und wieder zurückerobert, insbesondere zwischen 1296 und 1318 während der schottischen Unabhängigkeitskriege. Im Jahr 1460 zerstörten die Schotten das Schloss endgültig. Bei diesem Feldzug starb König Jakob II., als unmittelbar neben ihm eine Kanone explodierte. Nachdem Berwick-upon-Tweed im Jahr 1482 endgültig von den Engländern erobert worden war, verlor Roxburgh seinen Zugang zum Meer und damit zu den europäischen Märkten. Die wenigen noch verbliebenen Einwohner verließen die Stadt und zogen ins nahe gelegene Kelso. Roxburgh zerfiel innerhalb weniger Jahre; heute sind nur noch einige Ruinen vorhanden. Der Name ging an das bedeutend kleinere Dorf über. Weblinks Eintrag zu Roxburgh, General auf trove.scot, der Datenbank von Historic Environment Scotland (englisch)

Snipe Loch

Snipe Loch (NS385173) or Loch Snipe is a freshwater loch. It is situated in a low-lying area close to the B742 road next to Clocaird Farm in the Parish of Coylton, East Ayrshire, Scotland. The loch lies to the north of Martnaham Loch, 5 miles (7 km) east of Ayr. History Snipe Loch is a post-glacial 'Kettle Hole' fed by the outflow from Loch Fergus and its outflow running into Martnaham Loch. The early OS maps show a sluice on the outflow, allowing the water level to be controlled. The loch was fed by springs situated near the lane at Cloncaird Farm. The early OS maps show an arm of the loch running almost as far as the lane to old Glencaird (sic). Etymology The name could appropriately refer to the bird, snipe, Lymnocryptes minimus, however in Scots the word can refer to a featureless place, lacking significant characteristics, something long and thin, or a boggy place. In Scots the snipe is variously known as a "bluiter wheep, earn-bleater, heather-bleat, mire-snipe, or moss-bleater." Nearby Loch Fergus and Martnaham Loch are larger and have clear defining features such as castles, islands, etc. The farm was known as Glencaird on the early OS maps and Old Glencaird id now marked as Cloncaird Cottages. Uses The loch is a popular angling loch and is a bird watching site. It is stocked with rainbow trout and also contains perch. pike, and eels, and are frequented by wild-duck, teal, and widgeon. Nearly half of the lochshore is dominated by deciduous woodland.

Royal Alexandra Hospital, Paisley

The Royal Alexandra Hospital (RAH) is the main hospital in Paisley serving a large catchment area stretching all the way to Oban and Argyll. The hospital is managed by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. History The hospital has its origins in a general dispensary in central Paisley which opened in 1786 and became a house of recovery in 1805. A new facility financed by William Barbour and designed by Thomas Graham Abercrombie was completed at Calside in July 1896. In the early 1980s it was decided to create a modern hospital on the site of the old Riccartsbar Hospital in Craw Road and the new facility was officially opened by Princess Alexandra in May 1988. The hospital received patients from the 2007 Glasgow Airport attack, including one of the suspects who was taken to the hospital under arrest with severe burns. Parts of the hospital were later evacuated when a suspect device, originally believed to be a suicide belt, was discovered on the suspect. On the afternoon of 1 July a controlled explosion of a car was carried out in the car park of the hospital. The children's ward at the hospital closed in February 2018. Services The hospital has 760 staffed beds. It contains the only consultant-led maternity unit for the upper Clyde area, after the maternity wards at Inverclyde Royal Hospital and Vale of Leven Hospital became midwife-led in 2003.

Royal Blind School

The Royal Blind School is a specialist day and boarding school in Edinburgh, Scotland that was established in 1793 and run by the charity, Royal Blind. The school caters for pupils aged 3 to 19 who are blind or partially sighted, and has facilities for children of nursery, primary and secondary age. Students attending the school come primarily from Scotland, but also from other parts of the United Kingdom. The school was divided into two campuses, both situated in Edinburgh. These were located in Canaan Lane and Craigmillar Park. The Craigmillar Park campus is for pupils who are blind and partially sighted, while the Canaan Lane campus caters for students with multiple disabilities. In August 2014, the two campuses combined into one and all of the children now attend the Canaan Lane campus. In March 1997, the school featured in a documentary for ITV as part of its Network First strand. A follow-up programme, Blind School Christmas Special was shown in December of that year. History Founded in 1793 the School formed from an amalgam of different Edinburgh institutions. In 1825 it took on a residential element, caring for 25 blind women at a premises at 1 Hill Place. In 1876 the premises moved to a much larger, custom-built building, designed by Charles Leadbetter, off Craigmillar Park in the south of the city, merging with the 1835 School for Blind Children. In 1929 the school and residential elements split, under the Chairmanship of Rev Dr Thomas Burns, creating a solely residential element, the Thomas Burns Home, on Alfred Place. In 1946 Oswald House was purchased to supplement the residential care provision. In 1979 the home was extended to provide for male residents. In 1991 a new home was opened on Canaan Lane and this was further supplemented in 1999 by Braeside House on Liberton Brae, aimed at the blind elderly and incorporating a sensory garden.

Royal Commonwealth Pool

The Royal Commonwealth Pool is a category-A-listed building in St Leonard's, Edinburgh, Scotland that houses one of Scotland's main swimming pools. It is usually referred to simply as the Commonwealth Pool and known colloquially as the 'Commie'. History The pool was commissioned by the Council under a plan by the then Lord Provost, Sir Herbert Archbold Brechin in 1966 as part of a wider project to bring the Commonwealth Games to Edinburgh. This, with the help of other committee members such as Sir John Inch, came to fruition in October 1969. Construction began in 1967 and was completed in October 1969. The architecture was by Robert Matthew Johnson Marshall with structural input from Ove Arup & Partners. The pool duly hosted the aquatic events at the 1970 British Commonwealth Games. The pool has been used for elite diving events including the 1986 Commonwealth Games hosted by Edinburgh and the 2014 Commonwealth Games and inaugural 2018 European Championships, both hosted in Glasgow. The pool was closed 2009 to 2012 for major internal remodelling. Architectural award nominations In 1993 it was selected by the international conservation organisation DoCoMoMo as one of sixty key Scottish monuments of the post-war period.It was also nominated in 2002 by the Architecture Heritage Society of Scotland as one of the most significant modern contributions to Scottish heritage. These sentiments were echoed in Prospect 100 best modern Scottish buildings, published in 2005. S&P Architects were the architects and lead consultants for the 2012 refurbishment and were awarded the Scottish Design Award in 2012 for the best reuse of a listed building. Refurbishment In June 2009, the pool was closed to the public to begin refurbishment. The project, led by Frank and Charlie of S&P Architects (now Space&Place Architects) began in August 2009, costing approximately £37 million, and included new 25 metres (82 ft) diving and teaching pools as well as improvements to the changing rooms, café, reception, and the dive gym. It was originally expected to be finished by mid-2011 but did not reopen until March 2012.

Royal Cornhill Hospital

Royal Cornhill Hospital is a psychiatric hospital in Westburn Road, Aberdeen, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Grampian. History The hospital was founded as the Aberdeen Lunatic Asylum in 1800. The city's dancing master, Francis Peacock, donated all the funds from the profits of his 1805 book on dancing to the asylum and an enlarged facility designed by Archibald Simpson opened in 1818. It was renamed the Aberdeen Royal Lunatic Asylum in 1852 and a new hospital for sick and acute cases was built to the north of the existing facility in 1896. Pavilions for the treatment of tuberculosis were added in the 1920s and the facility became the Aberdeen Royal Mental Hospital in 1933. It suffered from bomb damage, which resulted in four fatalities, in 1943 during the Second World War. The facility joined the National Health Service in 1948 and became the Royal Cornhill Hospital in 1964. It was completely redeveloped in the early 1990s and the new modernised facilities re-opened in 1994. In 2013 the Health and Safety Executive issued an official warning that risk assessments at the hospital for patients in danger of self harming were insufficient, after three suicides. In 2015 proposals were put forward to redevelop part of the site which was surplus to requirements for residential use. References

Le Royal Cornhill Hospital est un hôpital psychiatrique situé Westburn Road, à Aberdeen, en Écosse. Il est géré par NHS Grampian (en). Histoire L'hôpital a été fondé sous le nom d'Aberdeen Lunatic Asylum en 1800. Francis Peacock procure tous les fonds provenant des bénéfices de son livre de 1805 sur la danse à l'asile et une installation agrandie conçue par Archibald Simpson ouvre ses portes en 1818. Il est rebaptisé Aberdeen Royal Lunatic Asylum en 1852 et un nouvel hôpital, pour les cas malades et aigus, est construit au nord de l'établissement existant, en 1896. Des pavillons pour le traitement de la tuberculose sont ajoutés dans les années 1920 et l'établissement devient l'Aberdeen Royal Mental Hospital en 1933. Il subit des dommages causés par les bombes, qui ont fait quatre morts, en 1943, lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. L'établissement rejoint le National Health Service en 1948 et devient le Royal Cornhill Hospital en 1964. Il est entièrement réaménagé au début des années 1990 et les nouvelles installations modernisées rouvrent en 1994. En 2013, le Health & Safety Executive émet un avertissement officiel selon lequel les évaluations des risques à l'hôpital pour les patients pouvant s'automutiler étaient insuffisantes, après trois suicides. En 2015, des propositions ont été avancées pour réaménager une partie du site qui était excédentaire par rapport aux besoins d'un usage résidentiel.

Королевская биржевая площадь

Королевская биржевая площадь (англ. Royal Exchange Square) — площадь в городе Глазго (Шотландия), расположенная между улицами Бьюкенен-стрит и Куин-стрит и выходящая на пересечение Куин-стрит с Ингрэм-стрит к югу от Джордж-сквер. К ней также есть доступ с Бьюкенен-стрит на западной стороне площади, через две выдающиеся арки на Роял-Бэнк-Плейс. Выдающаяся архитектура площади привлекает множество туристов, делая её одной из городских достопримечательностей. Особняк и сады табачного лорда Уильяма Каннингема, выходящие на Куин-стрит и центральную часть будущей площади, были построены в 1778 году, когда богатство Глазго вскоре затмило все остальные города Шотландию. Пять лет спустя Королевский банк Шотландии открылся в Глазго, став первым его филиалом за пределами Эдинбурга. Под руководством своего агента, торговца и филантропа Дэвида Дейла, доходы банка в Глазго вскоре превысили объёмы доходов Королевского банка в других местах, и, чтобы отразить его статус, банк перебрался из района Глазго-кросс в приобретённый им особняк Каннингема в 1817 году. В 1827 году Королевский банк продал особняк Каннингема городу для переоборудования его под биржу, а его новое здание главного офиса в Глазго, спроектированное Арчибальдом Эллиотом II, с шестью колоннами и широкой лестницей, было возведено в 1834 году с видом на Королевскую биржевую площадь. В 1850 году он был расширен до Бьюкенен-стрит . В центре площади находится бывшая Королевская биржа, греко-римское здание архитектора Дэвида Гамильтона, построенное в 1829 году, где торговцы заключали контракты на хлопок, лён, химикаты, уголь, железо, сталь, древесину и другие товары. 120 лет спустя они нашли другие способы ведения бизнеса, отличные от ежедневных собраний, и здание Королевской биржи было куплено корпорацией Глазго в 1949 году. После чего, оно стало библиотекой Стирлинга, названной в честь основателя более ранней библиотеки поблизости на Миллер-стрит. Перед её портиком возвышается бронзовая конная статуя герцога Веллингтона, воздвигнутая бароном Марочетти в 1844 году. На высоком гранитном основании расположены бронзовые рельефы сражений при Асаи и Ватерлоо, «Возвращения солдата», а также «Мира и земледелия». Ныне в этом здании размещается Галерея современного искусства, кафе и библиотека. Примечания
