Gare centrale de Glasgow

La gare centrale de Glasgow est une gare ferroviaire écossaise. C'est la plus grande des deux gares de grandes lignes de Glasgow. Elle est mise en service en 1879. Elle est gérée par Network Rail. C'est le terminus nord de la West Coast Main Line. Situation ferroviaire Histoire Lors de la période des fêtes de la fin de l'année 1994, des pluies torrentielles ont fait déborder la rivière Kelvin et le niveau bas fut complètement submergé. Il resta fermé plusieurs mois pendant sa remise en état. En 1998, un programme de rénovation étalé sur cinq ans fut engagé par Railtrack, et permit de refaire complètement le toit de la gare et ses aménagements intérieurs. La dernière amélioration, achevée fin 2003, fut l'installation d'un nouvel affichage électronique des trains en partance. Service des voyageurs Accueil La gare est sur deux niveaux, le niveau haut étant légèrement au-dessus du niveau de la rue, et le niveau bas souterrain. Le niveau haut comporte 14 quais couverts par un grand toit en acier rainuré. Ces quais sont numérotés 1 - 11, 11a et 12 - 13. Il comprend un vaste hall des pas perdus hébergeant divers commerces, points de vente alimentaires, guichets et une agence de voyages. La gare est bordée en façade sur Gordon Street par le Central Hotel, conçu par Robert Rowand Anderson. Le bâtiment de la gare abrite également une longue rangée de boutiques et de bars sur le côté de Union Street. Bien que cela ne soit pas évident pour le grand public, il y a aussi, creusés sous la gare, un ensemble étendu de galeries et de souterrains affectés à des parcs de stationnement et divers services. Le trait architectural le plus connu de cette gare est un grand passage vitré qui surplombe Argyle Street, surnommé localement « Heilanman's Umbrella ». Cela viendrait d'une légende urbaine locale selon laquelle des Highlanders économes préféreraient s'abriter sous la passerelle plutôt que s'acheter un parapluie et s'aventurer sous la pluie. Sous l' Umbrella se trouvent une série de boutiques et de bars ainsi que la boîte de nuit Arches. Le niveau bas comporte un quai central desservi par la ligne Argyle du réseau ferroviaire suburbain de Glasgow. Desserte Plusieurs compagnies desservent cette gare : Virgin Trains : vers Londres-Euston et le Nord-Ouest, les Midlands et le Sud de l'Angleterre, GNER : vers Édimbourg, Newcastle-upon-Tyne et Londres-King's Cross, First ScotRail : services internes à l'Écosse et trains de nuit vers Londres.

Stazione di Glasgow Centrale

Glasgow Centrale (in gaelico scozzese: Glaschu Mheadhain), solitamente indicata in Scozia semplicemente come Central o Central Station, è uno dei due principali capolinea ferroviari di Glasgow, in Scozia. Con 25 milioni di passeggeri nel 2023–2024, è la quindicesima stazione ferroviaria più trafficata della Gran Bretagna e la più trafficata della Scozia, nonché la terza stazione più trafficata del Regno Unito al di fuori di Londra, dopo Birmingham New Street e Manchester Piccadilly. La stazione è tutelata come edificio classificato di categoria A ed è cioè tutelato per ragioni storiche e architettoniche. La stazione fu aperta dalla Caledonian Railway il 1º agosto 1879 ed è una delle 20 gestite da Network Rail. È il capolinea settentrionale della West Coast Main Line (639 km a nord della Stazione di Londra Euston). Oltre a essere il principale capolinea di servizi interurbani di Glasgow verso l’Inghilterra, Central serve anche i sobborghi meridionali della conurbazione della Greater Glasgow, nonché le coste dell'Ayrshire e del Clyde. L'altro scalo principale della città è la Stazione di Glasgow Queen Street, che serve principalmente servizi regionali e interurbani verso il nord di Glasgow. Il codice di stazione a tre lettere è GLC. In Britain's 100 Best Railway Stations di Simon Jenkins, la stazione è stata una delle sole dieci a ricevere cinque stelle. Nel 2017, la stazione ha ottenuto un punteggio di soddisfazione dei clienti del 95,2%, il più alto nel Regno Unito. L'8 marzo 2026, un grande incendio ha distrutto un edificio adiacente di cinque piani, causando gravi disagi alla stazione.

Глазго-Сентрал

Глазго-Сентрал (англ. Glasgow Central, гэльск. Glaschu Mheadhain) — крупнейший из двух, существующих в настоящее время магистральных железнодорожных терминалов в Глазго — крупнейшем городе Шотландии. Вместе со вторым вокзалом, Глазго-Куин-Стрит, входит в группу станций «Глазго». Станция была открыта в 31 июля 1879 года железнодорожной компанией Caledonian Railway и в настоящее время является одной из 17 станций в Великобритании, работающих под управлением компании Network Rail. Является конечным пунктом магистрали Западного побережья. Станция Глазго-Сентрал обслуживает агломерацию Большого Глазго, южные пригороды города, графство Айршир и берега реки Клайд, станция также является конечной для всех междугородних железнодорожных линий между Глазго и Англией. С вокзала также осуществляется ограниченное сообщения с городом Эдинбургом, столицей Шотландии. Основной же трафик из Эдинбурга приходится на станцию Глазго-Куин-Стрит. В 2017—2018 годах вокзал обслужил почти 33 миллиона пассажиров, что поставило его на двенадцатое место по пассажиропотоку среди железнодорожных вокзалов Великобритании и наиболее загруженным в Шотландии. Станция является памятником архитектуры категории А. Станция до реконструкции Изначально на станции после её открытия 1 августа 1879 года было восемь платформ. Вскоре, в 1890 году количество платформ увеличили до девяти, из-за того что восемь платформ не справлялись с пассажиропотоком. В 1896 были построены две подземные платформы. Реконструкция 1901—1905 годов К началу XX века вокзал вновь перестал справляться с пассажиропотоком, который к тому моменту возрос до 23,257 млн чел. в год. В 1901—1905 годах вокзал был полностью перестроен — были построены дополнительные платформы, их количество вместе с подземными увеличилось до 17. Сам же вокзальный комплекс был расширен, на станции появился просторный вестибюль с магазинами, точками общественного питания, офисами, туристическим центром и прочим. Электрификация В начале 1960 годов началась электрификация верхних, наземных платформ вокзала. 29 мая 1962 года вокзал был электрифицирован контактной сетью с напряжением в 6,25 кВ. В течение десятилетия, старый мост 1879 года постройки и рядом расположенные железнодорожные линии были перестроены вместе с электрификацией до 25 кВ переменного тока, работы были завершены в 1967 году. В 1979 году были электрифицированы подземные платформы. Услуги Начиная с 2012 года, на станцию Глазго-Сентрал прибывают поезда следующих пяти железнодорожных компаний: CrossCountry East Coast ScotRail First TransPennine Express Virgin Trains Стоянка для такси расположена к северу от станции, в то время как посадка и высадка с автобусов осуществляется на соседних улицах. Также, в пределах нескольких минут ходьбы расположены станции метро Сент-Енох и Бьюкенен-стрит. Примечания

Wrae Tower

Wrae Tower ist die Ruine einer Niederungsburg (Tower House) aus dem 16. Jahrhundert südlich des Dorfes Broughton im oberen Tweedtal in der schottischen Council Area Scottish Borders. Die Ruine ist als Kategorie-C-Bauwerk denkmalgeschützt. Heute ist nur noch ein etwa 9 Meter hohes und 4 Meter breites Fragment des Treppenturms in der Nordostecke des Gebäudes erhalten. Der Turm wurde vermutlich für die Tweedies of Drumelzier errichtet, denen das umgebende Land seit 1320 gehörte. Einzelnachweise Weblinks J. W. Buchan, Rev. H.

Wrae Tower

Wrae Tower is a ruined 16th-century stone tower house, located in the upper Tweed Valley in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland, and similarly south of the village of Broughton. The ruin is at grid reference NT115332, 3 km south-west of Drumelzier. Only a fragment of the north-east corner stair tower, around 9m high and 4m across, remains standing. A single jamb represents the north-west ground floor entrance to the tower and crowning the north-east wall is rough corbelling, which supports the remains of a parapet. The tower was probably built by the Tweedies of Drumelzier, who owned the surrounding lands since 1320.

Wyndford

Wyndford is an area of the city of Glasgow, Scotland. Located two miles (three kilometres) northwest of the city centre in Maryhill, Wyndford is bounded by Maryhill Road to the north and the River Kelvin to the south. The area comprises council housing that is typical of that which was built throughout Glasgow in the 1960s and 1970s. The houses are now either privately owned or mainly run by Wheatley Homes Glasgow. It was built on the site of the former Glasgow city barracks, hence many local people colloquially refer to the area as "the Barracks". These barracks were built in 1872 when the Glasgow barracks were moved from the city's east end to this site, despite the fact that Maryhill was technically not part of the city at the time, as it was then a politically independent burgh. It was home to the Highland Light Infantry. The former barracks' walls and gatehouse are still in place, and they formed a perimeter around the Wyndford estate. The nearby Walcheren Barracks maintains a vestigial link to the Army in the area. After the barracks closed in 1960, the site was chosen for the Wyndford housing scheme (the Glaswegian term for housing estate). The new social housing, with four high-rise tower blocks and several smaller buildings, was commissioned by the Macmillan government and intended to be an example of high-quality social housing. Footballers Charlie Nicholas and Jim Duffy are both originally from the Wyndford area. It was an area of support for the Glasgow school closures protest, 2009. Demolition and Replacement Wheatley Homes first proposed demolishing the towers in 2021, claiming that retrofitting the blocks to comply with modern standards would be impossible. Plans were presented to replace the 600 flats in the blocks with a 386 family homes and new community facilities. However, while Wheatley Homes claimed 85% of residents supported the plan, some residents organised in the Wyndford Residents Union opposed the plans and were involved in a legal dispute with Glasgow City Council over the demolition. They argued for retrofitting the blocks to avoid the overall reductions in available social homes in the plans, as well as the environmental impact of demolishing and building anew. Three of the four towers were demolished in March 2025 by controlled explosives, with the remaining tower to be gradually demolished due to its proximity to other buildings.

Balblair

Balblair er et Highland single malt skotsk whisky-destilleri beliggende i Edderton, Ross-shire, Skotland. Destilleriet blev grundlagt i 1790, men blev genopført i 1895 af designeren Charles C Doig for at komme tættere på Edderton Edderton Station på Inverness and Ross-shire Railway-linjen. Vandkilden på den oprindelige placering var dog så god, at det genopførte destilleri valgte at ignorere en nærliggende bæk (burn) til fordel for den oprindelige Ault Dearg-bæk. Den dag i dag fortsætter Balblair Distillery med at bruge denne oprindelige vandkilde. Historie Balblair Distillery blev etableret i 1790 af John Ross. Han drev Balblair som en blomstrende virksomhed, og i 1824 fik han selskab af sin søn, Andrew. Destilleriet forblev i familien Ross indtil 1894, hvor lejemålet blev overtaget af Alexander Cowan. Destilleriet blev genopført i 1895 af designeren Charles C Doig for at komme tættere på Edderton Station på Inverness and Ross-shire Railway-linjen. Vandkilden på den oprindelige placering var dog så god, at det genopførte destilleri valgte at ignorere en nærliggende bæk til fordel for den oprindelige Ault Dearg-bæk. Den dag i dag fortsætter Balblair Distillery med at bruge denne oprindelige vandkilde. I 1948 blev ejerretten købt af Robert Cumming, som straks udvidede destilleriet og øgede produktionen. Cumming drev destilleriet indtil sin pensionering i 1970, hvor han solgte det til Hiram Walker. I 1996 blev Balblair Distillery opkøbt af Inver House Distillers Limited, hvis øvrige destillerier omfatter Speyburn-Glenlivet Distillery, Knockdhu, Old Pulteney og Balmenach. Balblair har et af de ældste arkiver inden for destillering, med den første regnskabsindførsel dateret 25. januar 1800. John Ross skrev selv denne indførsel, som lød: “Salg til David Kirkcaldy i Ardmore, én gallon whisky til £1.8.0d”. Balblair udgav tidligere deres whisky efter årgang, men i april 2019 begyndte de at lancere et fast kernesortiment af aldersangivne whiskyer. Dette omfatter blandt andet 12-, 15-, 18-, 21- og 25-årige udgaver. Efter at have medvirket i flere scener i Ken Loachs film The Angels' Share fra 2012 åbnede Balblair et besøgscenter i sin tidligere maltbygning. Ud over at indeholde en butik er besøgscentret udgangspunkt for regelmæssige rundvisninger på destilleriet.

Balblair distillery

Balblair distillery is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky located in Edderton, Ross-shire, Scotland. Founded in 1790, the distillery was rebuilt in 1894 by the designer Charles C Doig to be closer to the Edderton Railway Station on the Inverness and Ross-shire Railway line. However, so good was the original water source that the rebuilt distillery chose to ignore a nearby burn in favour of the original Ault Dearg burn. To this day, the Balblair Distillery continues to use this original water source. History Balblair Distillery is the oldest working distillery in the Highlands and fourth oldest in Scotland. It was officially established in 1790 by John Ross. He ran Balblair as a thriving business and in 1824 he was joined by his son, Andrew. The distillery stayed in the Ross family until 1894, when the tenancy was taken over by Alexander Cowan. The distillery was rebuilt in 1894 by the designer Charles C Doig to be closer to the Edderton Railway Station on the Inverness and Ross-shire Railway line. However, so good was the original water source that the rebuilt distillery chose to ignore a nearby burn in favour of the original Ault Dearg burn. To this day, the Balblair Distillery continues to use this original water source. In 1948 the freehold was bought by Robert Cumming, who promptly expanded the distillery and increased production. Cumming ran the distillery until he retired in 1970 when he sold it to Hiram Walker. In 1996 Balblair Distillery was purchased by Inver House Distillers Limited, whose other distilleries include the Speyburn-Glenlivet Distillery, Knockdhu Distillery, Old Pulteney Distillery and Balmenach Distillery. Balblair has one of the oldest archives in distilling, with the first ledger entry dated 25 January 1800. John Ross himself penned that entry, which read: “Sale to David Kirkcaldy at Ardmore, one gallon of whisky at £1.8.0d”. Balblair used to release their whisky by vintage, but in April 2019 they started to release a core range of age statement whiskies. This includes but is not limited to a 12, 15, 18, 21 and 25 year old. Current production is 1.5 million litres, the bulk of which goes to blending. Following its appearance in several scenes in the Ken Loach 2012 film The Angels' Share, Balblair opened a visitor centre in its former malting building. As well as containing a shop, the visitor centre is the starting point for regular tours of the distillery.
