West Glasgow Ambulatory Care Hospital

The West Glasgow Ambulatory Care Hospital was a healthcare facility in Yorkhill, Glasgow. The new ambulatory care facility was created in December 2015 to house the remaining outpatient services and the minor injury unit previously housed at the Western Infirmary. It was managed by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, before it closed in October 2025. The building was previously the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, commonly referred to simply as "Yorkhill" or "Sick Kids". The hospital provided care for newborn babies up to children around 13 years of age, including a specialist Accident and Emergency facility and the only Donor Milk Banking facility in Scotland. After services transferred to the Royal Hospital for Children, one of the hospitals build on the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital campus on the Southside of the city, the children's hospital closed in June 2015. History The hospital has its origins in a facility at Garnethill which opened as the Hospital for Sick Children on 20 December 1882. It took almost 22 years to come to fruition due to a dispute with the University of Glasgow regarding a suitable site. When opened, the hospital had 58 beds. It was funded by charitable donations. The hospital admitted its first patient, a 5-year-old boy with curvature of the spine, on 8 January 1883. A further 12 beds were added when Thomas Carlyle converted a house next door into an annexe in 1887. The hospital was given Royal patronage in 1889 when the prefix was added to its title. The old hospital is now occupied by St Aloysius' College. The hospital was suffering from a chronic lack of space by the 1900s and as a result a new site at Yorkhill was chosen for a replacement hospital building. A public appeal had raised almost £140,000. Designed by John James Burnet, the new building opened in July 1914. In the 1930s Matthew White started operating on children with cleft lip and cleft palate. He brought in Anne McAllister to administer speech therapy so that the children could make a full recovery. On 11 July 1964, the Queen Mother's Maternity Hospital opened on a site adjacent to the Royal Hospital for Sick Children. In 1966, the Royal Hospital for Sick Children was temporarily relocated to the former Oakbank Hospital buildings in Woodside in order to facilitate the demolition of the existing building, which was discovered to be suffering from severe structural defects. The move back to the rebuilt facility at Yorkhill began in October 1971 and the hospital was officially opened by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh in 1972. After services transferred to the new Royal Hospital for Children in Govan, the hospital at Yorkhill closed as a children's facility on 10 June 2015. The hospital building reopened as the West Glasgow Ambulatory Care Hospital on 4 December 2015. The new ambulatory care facility was created to house the remaining outpatient services and the minor injury unit previously housed at the Western Infirmary. The hospital closed again in October 2025 and the site was subsequently marketed for sale. References
Royal Lyceum Theatre

The Royal Lyceum Theatre is a theatre in Edinburgh, Scotland, named after the Theatre Royal Lyceum and English Opera House, the residence at the time of legendary Shakespearean actor Henry Irving. It was built in 1883 by architect C. J. Phipps at a cost of £17,000 on behalf of James B. Howard and Fred. W. P. Wyndham, two theatrical managers and performers whose partnership became the renowned Howard & Wyndham Ltd created in 1895 by Michael Simons of Glasgow. With only four minor refurbishments, in 1929, 1977, 1991 and 1996, the Royal Lyceum remains one of the most original and unaltered of the architect's works. Opening night was 10 September 1883 with a performance of Much Ado About Nothing by the company of the London Lyceum Theatre, and starring Henry Irving and Ellen Terry. In 1965, the building was purchased by the Edinburgh Corporation from Meyer Oppenheim to house the newly formed Royal Lyceum Theatre Company, who are now the permanent residents, leasing it from the City of Edinburgh Council. The Royal Lyceum has been one of the principal venues for the Edinburgh International Festival since the festival's inception in 1947, its owners renting out the building for three weeks every August for visiting companies, and often for a further week to Fringe companies. The Royal Lyceum has primarily been known for its provision of drama. It has also presented some significant opera, from the first tours of Carl Rosa in the latter part of the 19th century, through to the early decades of Scottish Opera in the 1960s and 1970s. Some important operas received their first Scottish performance at the Lyceum, including Madam Butterfly, Manon and Die Meistersinger. The theatre was the first in Britain to be fitted with an iron safety curtain, and the first in Scotland to use electricity for house lighting. David Greig took over from Mark Thomson as artistic director in 2016. James Brining became artistic director in 2025. Ghosts The theatre is believed to be haunted, and there have been sightings of a blue lady who is believed to be Ellen Terry, the actress who performed at the Lyceum's first show. In addition, a shadowy figure has been reportedly seen high above the stage in the lighting rig. Many sightings have been reported to have been accompanied by a ringing noise.

Royal Lyceum Theatre

Le Royal Lyceum Theatre est un théâtre de 658 places situé dans la ville d'Édimbourg, en Écosse, dénommé d'après le Theatre Royal Lyceum et de l'English Opera House, la résidence à l'époque du légendaire acteur shakespearien Henry Irving. Histoire Le bâtiment est construit en 1883 par l'architecte C.J. Phipps au coût de 17 000 £ pour le compte de James B. Howard et Fred. W.P. Wyndham, deux directeurs de théâtre et interprètes dont le partenariat est devenu le célèbre Howard & Wyndham Ltd créé en 1895 par Michael Simons de Glasgow. Avec seulement quatre rénovations mineures, en 1929, 1977, 1991 et 1996, le Royal Lyceum reste l'une des œuvres de l'architecte les plus originales et les plus inchangées. La soirée d'ouverture a eu lieu le 10 septembre 1883 avec une représentation de Much Ado About Nothing par la compagnie du London Lyceum Theatre, et mettant en vedette Henry Irving et Ellen Terry. En 1965, le bâtiment est acheté par la Edinburgh Corporation pour abriter la Royal Lyceum Theatre Company nouvellement formée, qui en est maintenant les résidents permanents, le louant au conseil local. Le théâtre est le premier en Grande-Bretagne à être équipé d'un rideau de sécurité en fer et le premier en Écosse à utiliser l'électricité pour l'éclairage. Fantômes On pense que le théâtre est hanté, et il y a eu des observations d'une dame bleue qui serait Ellen Terry, l'actrice qui a joué au premier spectacle du Lyceum. De plus, une silhouette sombre aurait été vue au-dessus de la scène dans la plate-forme d'éclairage. De nombreuses observations auraient été accompagnées d'un bruit de sonnerie.

Королівський ліцейський театр

Королівський ліцейський театр — театральний заклад у місті Единбурзі, Шотландія. Перший ліцейський театр в Единбурзі засновано ще 1816 року. Проте у 1830 році приміщення цього театру згоріло, після чого театр декілька разів змінював приміщення. Теперішня будівля театру була спроєктована архітектором Чарльзом Джоном Фіппсом 1883 та обійшлася замовнику у £17,000. Перша вистава у новозбудованому театрі відбулася 10 вересня 1883 року. Театр, незважаючи на пізніші перебудови, вважається одним з найкраще збережених та досконалих зразків вікторіанської театральної архітектури. Примітки

Loch A'an

Loch A'an is a remote freshwater loch set deep within the central Cairngorms plateau, in the Cairngorms National Park, located in the eastern Highlands of Scotland. Loch A'an, also called Loch Avon, is the source of the River Avon. Loch A'an is oriented southwest–northeast and is bounded on three sides by precipitous mountains, cliffs and crags, with the North-East opening out to provide an outflow for the river through Glen Avon. Geography To the north of the loch, rising almost vertically, lies the Cairn Gorm, the sixth highest mountain in the United Kingdom. Southwest of Cairn Gorm, at the head of the loch, lies the imposing peak of Ben Macdui, the second-highest mountain in the UK, and to east lies Beinn Mheadhoin, the thirteenth-highest mountain in the UK, again rising almost vertically from the Loch A'an basin. Lying 1.2 kilometres (3⁄4 mile) south of the loch and 202 m (663 ft) higher up the range at an elevation of 927 m (3,041 ft), lies Loch Etchachan. Poem Nan Shepherd wrote a short poem about the loch in her 1934 anthology In the Cairngorms. Gallery References

Rubislaw Church

Rubislaw Church is a Church of Scotland parish church in the Queen's Cross area of Aberdeen, Scotland. It has a recently refurbished church centre on Fountainhall Road. History Rubislaw Church was constructed as part of a national Church of Scotland expansion campaign following the Disruption of 1843. It was constructed in 1874. Unusually for Aberdeen, the church is built out of sandstone opposed to granite as the majority of the buildings in Aberdeen are. George Washington Wilson offered to pay for the building to be constructed in granite but was too late as the contract had already been signed. It was constructed to serve three new parishes. In 1880, the church was expanded with a tower and spire added. It is speculated that the spire was built just to compete with the Free Church of Scotland's Queen's Cross Church across the street. In 1985, the church was granted grade B heritage status by Historic Scotland. In 2019, the Church of Scotland announced they were planning to sell Rubislaw Church as part of a church consolidation plan. Manse The minister of the church had originally lived in a manse bungalow in the church's graveyard until 1922 when a six bedroom house was purchased by the Church of Scotland in Rubislaw Den. In 2016, the church announced plans to sell the new manse for £1 million representing the largest amount raised by the church following a manse sale.

Rubislaw and Queen's Terrace Gardens

Rubislaw and Queen's Terrace Gardens are two small public gardens in Aberdeen, Scotland. Although they are referred to as two parks, they are separated only by one road which runs between the 1 hectare rectangular area it covers. It is located between the streets of Rubislaw Terrace and Albyn Place, in the west-end of Aberdeen approximately 300 metres from the main street in Aberdeen, Union Street. There is a fountain in the park made from pink granite and trees which are over a century old. On the Rubislaw Terrace (north) side of the park, there is a gray granite wall of small pillars along the entire side. History In February 1989, the City of Aberdeen District Council and the Scottish Sculpture Workshop ran a competition to design a new fountain to be built out of granite in Rubislaw Terrace Gardens, with the chosen design to receive £5,000. The commission was awarded to Susan Ball, who based her concept of the fountain on the balustrades of the structures surrounding the park. In 1992, the District Council allocated £100,000 to repair the surrounding structures of both gardens due to vandalism.

Rutherglen Bridge

The Rutherglen Bridge or the Shawfield Bridge is a bridge which was built 1893–96, which crosses the River Clyde, in Scotland. It connects Shawfield, the most northerly district in the town of Rutherglen, and the south-side Glasgow district of Oatlands, with the Glasgow East End districts of Dalmarnock, Glasgow Green and Bridgeton. Bridgeton is in fact named after the first bridge at the site that was constructed in 1776 and designed by James Watt, which stood until 1890. The road is part of the Glasgow East End Regeneration Route running between the M8 and M74 motorways. The Glasgow side of the bridge is a convenient point for walkers and cyclists to join the Clyde Walkway or National Cycle Route 75 which share a tarmac path along the river at this point. It should not be confused with the nearby Dalmarnock Bridge which also connects Rutherglen to Dalmarnock, nor with a modern pedestrian 'Smartbridge' between Shawfield and Dalmarnock.

Stac Lee

Stac Lee (schottisch-gälisch: Stac Liath, deutsch: „der graue Stac“) ist eine 2,3 Hektar große, 165–172 Meter aus dem Meer herausragende Felsinsel (Stac) der Inselgruppe St. Kilda an der Westküste Schottlands. Stac Lee ist Teil des St.-Kilda-Archipels, der wiederum meist zu den Äußeren Hebriden gerechnet wird. Verwaltungsmäßig gehört St. Kilda zu den Western Isles innerhalb Schottlands. Nach dem nahegelegenen Stac an Armin (191 Meter) ist Stac Lee damit der höchste Stac in Großbritannien. Der Felsen liegt etwa 7,5 Kilometer nordwestlich der Hauptinsel Hirta und 550 Meter westlich von Boreray. Der Stac ragt vom Meeresgrund gerechnet 220 Meter hoch auf. Die Höhenangaben über Meeresspiegel variieren etwas. Auf dem Stac existiert eine kleine Hütte, die früher von Vogelfängern genutzt wurde, aber aufgrund der unruhigen See nur mit einigem Geschick vom Boot aus zu erreichen ist. Ansonsten ist die Insel unbewohnt. Stac Lee hat durch die auf ihm abgelagerten Vogelexkremente (vorwiegend Basstölpel) einen weißen, zuckergussartigen Überzug bekommen. Der Stac dient geschätzt mehr als 10.000 Vögeln als Brutstätte. Als Teil der Inselgruppe St. Kilda zählt er zum Weltnaturerbe der UNESCO. Einzelnachweise Weblinks
Stac Lee

Stac Lee (gael.: Stac Liath) – szara kolumna wysoka na 172 metrów jest jedną z wysp archipelagu St Kilda w północno-zachodniej części Szkocji. Wyspa wydaje się być białą a to ze względu na odchody głuptaków. Niezwykły Stac an Armin, znajdujący się nieopodal osiąga 196 metrów, co czyni ją najwyższą kolumną morską w Wielkiej Brytanii. Na Stac Lee znajduje się sześć tysięcy gniazd głuptaków. Co niezwykłe, na wyspie znajduje się również mały budynek zwany bothy, który używany był przez mieszkańców pobliskiej wyspy Hirta podczas polowań na ptaki. Martin Martin nazywał tę wyspę "Stac-Ly".
