St Andrew Square

St Andrew Square is een plein met park in het midden in de New Town van Edinburgh, Schotland. Het plein ligt aan het oostelijke uiteinde van George Street. De aanleg van het plein begon in 1772, als eerste deel van New Town, ontworpen door James Craig. Al na zes jaar na voltooiing werd het plein een van de meest gewilde woonlocaties van de stad. Aan het eind van de negentiende eeuw werd St Andrew Square het commerciële centrum van de stad. Het grootste deel van het plein werd vroeger ingenomen door kantoren van grote banken en verzekeringsmaatschappijen, wat het tot een van de belangrijkste financiële centra in Schotland maakte. Eens was St Andrew Square het rijkste gebied van deze grootte in heel Schotland. De tuinen zijn eigendom van een aantal private partijen en behoren tot de collectie van New Town Gardens. In 2008 werden ze opengesteld voor publiek en ze worden beheerd door Essential Edinburgh. Aan het plein zijn diverse winkels, waaronder het luxe warenhuis Harvey Nichols en het winkelgebied Multrees Walk. Daarnaast bevinden zich aan het plein The Edinburgh Grand Hotel, appartementen, en een reeks restaurants en bars van Londense ketens, zoals Hawksmoor, Drake & Morgan, Dishoom en The Ivy. Bezienswaardigheden Midden op het plein staat het Melville Monument, ter ere van Henry Dundas, de eerste burggraaf van Melville. Aan de oostkant staat Dundas House, gebouwd door Sir William Chambers voor Sir Lawrence Dundas van 1772 tot 1774. Dit werd het hoofdkantoor van de Bank of Scotland in 1825. In 1806 kwam het hoofdkantoor van de British Linen Bank ook naar St Andrew Square, tot 2016 als zijgebouw van de Bank of Scotland. St Andrew Square was ook de plaats van het hoofdkantoor van de National Bank of Scotland, op nummer 42, tot deze in 1969 fuseerde met de Royal Bank of Scotland. Onder het plein loopt de ongebruikte Scotland Street Tunnel, die in 1847 was gebouwd als onderdeel van de Edinburgh, Leith and Newhaven Railway. Een deel van de tunnel werd in de jaren 80 gesloopt tijdens de bouw van het Waverley Market Shopping Centre. Openbaar vervoer St Andrew Square is jarenlang een transportknooppunt. Het oorspronkelijke busstation werd in 2000 afgebroken en in 2003 werd een modern vervangend busstation geopend. Dit ligt ten oosten van het plein en het wordt bediend door verschillende langeafstandsbusbedrijven, zoals Scottish Citylink en Stagecoach East Scotland. Lokale busdiensten stoppen aan de westkant van het plein, aan de North St David Street en de South St David Street. Aan de oostkant van het plein ligt het eilandplatform van de tramhalte St Andrew Square. Het is de dichtstbijzijnde halte voor het treinstation Edinburgh Waverley, dat ongeveer 250 meter naar het zuiden ligt, en voor het busstation van Edinburgh, dat 50 meter naar het noorden ligt. De Edinburgh Trams rijden vanaf hier westwaarts via Princes Street naar Edinburgh Airport of noordwaarts naar Leith en Newhaven. Galerij

St Anthony's Football Club is a Scottish non-league football club based in Glasgow. Nicknamed the Ants, they play in green-and-white hooped kits and currently operate in the West of Scotland League Third Division. History Founded in 1902, they were members of the Scottish Junior Football Association from that time until 2020 when all local clubs moved to the new West of Scotland Football League, becoming part of the senior football pyramid for the first time. St Anthony's were originally based in the heart of Govan and then played at two grounds on either side of the Moorepark neighbourhood close to Ibrox Stadium, home of Rangers, until the 1990s; Since 2003 their home ground is McKenna Park in Shieldhall, directly north of the M8 motorway (the road was built through Cardonald Park and so the ground is often referred to as being located in the Cardonald district, although it lies on the other side of the motorway). The team reached the final of the Scottish Junior Cup on two occasions (1919 and 1925) but never lifted the trophy. They won honours in the Scottish Junior League up to 1922 when they joined the more prestigious Glasgow League, remaining with that group in the subsequent decades through the Intermediate, Central and West Region eras, into the 21st century. They were West of Scotland Junior Cup winners in 1938, but never seriously challenged for major honours after World War II.

St Columba Church of Scotland, Glasgow

St Columba's Church is a Church of Scotland Parish church that used to serve a Gaelic congregation in Glasgow. The building was closed in 2021. The congregation moved to Blawarthill Parish Church. History The Church of Scotland congregation of St Columba in Glasgow dates back to 1770. It was established to cater for the spiritual needs of the large number of Gaelic speakers from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland settling in Glasgow in search of employment. Until 2020, the church still had a weekly Sunday service in Gaelic, as well as weekly services in English. Shortly before leaving Scotland to permanently emigrate to South Africa in 1903, Mull-born Gaelic poet Duncan Livingstone carved the inscription Tigh Mo Chridhe, Tigh Mo Gràidh ("House of My Heart, House of My Love") on the lintel of the main door of the church. The church building in Glasgow's St Vincent Street was opened on Saturday 17 September 1904, and is built in the Gothic Revival style. It was designed by architects Tennant and Burke and was protected as a category B listed building starting in 1970. In 2022, its listing was upgraded to category A. Because of its size and association with Gaeldom and the Gaelic language it is also popularly known as the Highland Cathedral. The St Vincent Street building replaced a church constructed in 1839 and situated on Hope Street (itself a replacement for the congregation's original premises on Ingram Street / Queen Street, the moves reflecting the general westward expansion of Glasgow during the era) which was demolished in 1900 for the expansion of Glasgow Central railway station. The new features of the terminus included an enlargement of the bridge over Argyle Street, which then became known as the Hielanman's Umbrella as some of the Gaelic community continued to gather there following the loss of the old church. Past ministers have included two former Moderators of the General Assembly: the Very Rev. Dr. Norman MacLeod (minister 1835-1862) and husband of poetess Agnes Maxwell MacLeod, in 1836; and the Very Reverend Dr Alexander MacDonald (minister 1929-1954) in 1948. On 16 February 2023 the congregation of St. Columba Church of Scotland was linked with the congregation of Blawarthill Parish Church of Scotland, with all future services to be held at Blawarthill Parish Church in Garscadden. The church building had not been in use since 2021 because of safety concerns. It was put up for sale by the Church of Scotland in 2022, and was sold in 2023. In November 2024, plans to repurpose it as a music and arts venue were reported. The St. Columba and Blawarthill congregations were linked with Jordanhill Parish Church on 25 September 2025. The St Columba Gaelic congregation continues to meet weekly.

St George’s Tron Church

Die St George’s Tron Church, ehemals St George’s Church at St George’s Place, ist ein Kirchengebäude der presbyterianischen Church of Scotland in der schottischen Stadt Glasgow. 1966 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Die St George’s Tron Church ist nicht zu verwechseln mit der ehemaligen Tron Kirk in Glasgow, dem heutigen Tron Theatre. Geschichte Die Kirche wurde von 1807 bis 1808 erbaut. Für den Entwurf zeichnet der schottische Architekt William Stark verantwortlich. In den 1870er Jahren fertigten Haig & Low einen Entwurf zur Umnutzung des Gebäudes zu einem öffentlichen Gebäude mit städtischer Nutzung an, der jedoch nicht umgesetzt wurde. 1885 wurde das Gebäude durch David Thomson überarbeitet und erweitert. Erneut wurde die St George’s Tron Church zu einem nicht näher genannten Zeitpunkt zwischen 1895 und 1911 überarbeitet. Im Jahre 2012 eskalierte ein Streit zwischen der Kirchengemeinde der St George’s Tron Church und der Church of Scotland. Hintergrund war die liberale Haltung der Kirche zur Berufung eines homosexuellen Priesters, welche die Kirchengemeinde nicht unterstütze. Die Gemeinde spaltete sich in der Folge von der Church of Scotland ab, betrachtete jedoch das Kirchengebäude als ihr Eigentum. Während eines Gottesdienstes erschienen schließlich Beamte zur Übergabe des Gebäudes. Die Kirchengemeinde zog in der Folge aus und bezog neue Räumlichkeiten in der Umgebung. Die Church of Scotland nutzt die St George’s Tron Church weiter. Beschreibung Die St George’s Tron Church steht im Glasgower Stadtzentrum inmitten des Nelson Mandela Place, dem ehemaligen St George’s Place. Zu den umliegenden Gebäuden zählen die Glasgow Stock Exchange, die Royal Faculty of Procurators in Glasgow, das Athenaeum Theatre sowie das Eckhaus 4 Nelson Mandela Place. Die Saalkirche ist klassizistisch ausgestaltet, der Glockenturm weist hingegen Merkmale der neobarocken Architektur auf. Das zweiflüglige Eingangsportal an der ostexponierten, der Buchanan Street zugewandten Frontfassade ist mit Kämpferfenster, bekrönendem Gesimse ausgestaltete. Darüber befindet sich ein Lünettenfenster mit Schlussstein. Vier kolossale, dorische Halbsäulen gliedern die Fassade vertikal. Darüber erhebt sich der Glockenturm. Entlang seiner Kanten ziehen sich kolossale Pilaster, die in Obelisken auslaufen. Die rundbogigen Öffnungen sind mit Schlusssteinen gearbeitet. Schlichte Gesimse mit steinernen Balustraden gliedern die Fassade horizontal. Der Turm läuft in einer Laterne mit dorischen Säulen mit aufsitzendem Obelisk aus.

St Gregory’s Church (Preshome)

Die St Gregory’s Church, ehemals Craigs Chapel, ist ein römisch-katholisches Kirchengebäude nahe der Ortschaft Buckie in der schottischen Council Area Moray. 1972 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Das zugehörige Pfarrhaus ist separat als Kategorie-A-Bauwerk klassifiziert. Geschichte Nach der Reformation in Schottland wurden römisch-katholischen Gemeinden mit Argwohn, teils mit Feindseligkeit begegnet. Aus diesem Grund handelte es sich bei den frühen post-reformatorischen römisch-katholischen Kirchen häufig um versteckte Kirchen, wie zum Beispiel die nahegelegene St Ninian’s Church. In der entschieden katholischen Region wurde hingegen, unterstützt durch den lokalen Gordon-Laird, mit der St Gregory’s Church ab 1788 ein deutlich als solcher erkennbarer Kirchenbau errichtet. Er gilt als ältester, nicht-versteckter, post-reformatorischer, römisch-katholischer Kirchenbau in Schottland. Nach der Grundsteinlegung am 29. Mai 1788 wurde am Pfingstsonntag des Jahres 1790 die erste Messe gelesen. Zuvor befand sich am Standort eine „Craigs Barn“ genannte Scheune, die als Behelfskirche genutzt wurde. Die St Gregory’s Church wurde aus diesem Grund zunächst Craigs Chapel genannt. Ein Gemälde Gregor des Großen von Annibale Carracci stiftete der Earl of Findlater. 1896 wurde Peter Paul Pugin mit Arbeiten im Innenraum betraut. Beschreibung Die St Gregory’s Church steht isoliert rund drei Kilometer südwestlich von Buckie. Die längliche Saalkirche ist mit geschwungener Barockfassade ausgeführt. Sie umfasst die drei Zentralachsen und läuft auf den äußeren Achsen in Brüstungen aus. Die Fassaden des Kirchengebäudes sind mit Harl verputzt, wobei Natursteineinfassungen abgesetzt sind. Wie auch die unterschiedlich groß ausgeführten Fenster sind sowohl das zweiflüglige Hauptportal als auch die flankierenden Portale auf den äußeren Achsen rundbogig mit Schlusssteinen und Kämpferriegeln gestaltet. An der Südfassade findet sich ein weiteres, heute mit Mauerwerk verschlossenes Portal sowie ein rundbogiges Maßwerk. An der Ostseite schließt das Gebäude mit einer semi-oktogonalen Apsis. Das Dach ist mit Schiefer eingedeckt. Pfarrhaus Das nebenliegende Pfarrhaus ließ der Bischof von Aberdeen, James Kyle, der dort auch lebte und verstarb, im Jahre 1830 errichten. Er betraute den schottischen Architekten William Robertson mit der Ausführung. Als Schlüsselfigur der katholischen Kirche in Schottland, sammelte Kyle rund 75.000 Briefe an, die heute in verschiedenen Archiven aufbewahrt werden. Die südexponierte Hauptfassade des zweistöckigen Pfarrhauses ist drei Achsen weit. Sein Mauerwerk besteht aus Bruchstein mit abgesetzten Natursteindetails. Das an einen Miniatur-Portikus erinnernde hölzerne Vordach des zentralen Eingangsportals ist späteren Datums. Das schiefergedeckte Satteldach ist mit giebelständigen Kaminen ausgeführt.
