Eilean Choraidh

Eilean Choraidh, also known as Horse Island is an island in Loch Eriboll in Sutherland on the north coast of Scotland. It is about 26 hectares (64 acres) in extent and the highest point is 26 metres (85 ft) above sea level. During the 19th century the Reay estate quarried lime from Eilean Choraidh, treated it in kilns on the nearby peninsula of Ard Neakie, and exported it by ship. The census of 1931 records a single male inhabitant, and there has been no indication of any permanent residents since then. This may be partly because Eilean Choraidh was used as a representation of the German battleship Tirpitz for target practice by Mosquito bombers of the Royal Air Force during World War II. The Ordnance Survey indicate the presence of two ruined buildings, one in the centre of the island north of a long wall that runs east to west and another at the north end. Today, the island is used for grazing sheep. A variety of wild mammals are present including otters, grey seals and cetaceans. Beds of maerl, a corraline algae that has been identified as a priority habitat in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan, has been recorded in the channels on either side of Eilean Choraidh. The sea pen, Virgularia mirabilis is also present in the inner loch. References Haswell-Smith, Hamish (2004). The Scottish Islands. Edinburgh: Canongate. ISBN 978-1-84195-454-7. Notes

Eilean Munde

Eilean Munde (Scottish Gaelic: Eilean Mhunga ) is an uninhabited island in Loch Leven, close to Ballachulish. It is the site of a chapel built by St. Fintan Mundus (also known as Saint Fintan Munnu), who travelled here from Iona in the 7th century. The church was burnt in 1495 and rebuilt in the 16th century. The last service in the church was held in July, 1653. The island is the site of a graveyard once used by the Stewarts of Ballachulish, the MacDonalds of Glencoe and the Camerons of Callart. The clans shared the island and the maintenance of the graveyard, even when there was conflict between them. The last burial took place in 1972, of Mrs Christina MacDonald Sharpe, a native of Glencoe. Eilean a' Chomhraidh Near Eilean Munde (or Mhunna) is a smaller island, Eilean a' Chomhraidh (Eilean na Comhairle) or the Isle of Discussion. This was the meeting-place of those persons who had disputes with their neighbours on the land question, and perhaps on other matters besides. When their disputes had been settled satisfactorily the erstwhile disputants sailed up the loch to Eilean na Bainne (about one-and-a-quarter miles west of Kinlochleven). This is the Isle of Covenant or Ratification; here the agreements were drawn up and sealed. Eilean na Bainne is spelled Ylen na Ban in Timothy Pont's map of the area. Visit by Robert Forbes On July 6, 1770, bishop Robert Forbes sailed up Loch Leven. He records: We likewise come in view of the Island of St. Munde, who was Abbot and Confessor in Argyll ... Upon this island is the ruin of a little chapel, all the four walls of which are still entire, dedicated to the same St. Munde. Though the island has little depth of earth, being rocky, the MacDonalds and Camerons still bury there In a letter to Stewart of Ballachulish, dated Leith, November 15, 1770, after giving the history of the saint, as in the text, he proceeds: As the walls of his chapel with you are still standing, and appear to be entire, I would heartily wish that those who still bury on the island would put a roof upon the chapel. Surely they could do it at a small charge, as there is plenty of wood in the country, and that your slate quarry is at hand. In this case I could have worship in it when God may be pleased to favour me with a return to the delightful Bottom of Ballachelish. I would gladly contribute my mite for patching the walls of the chapel and putting on the roof. References
Eilean Munde

L’Eilean Munde (o Mhunna) è un'isola disabitata, la principale di un piccolo complesso di isole all'interno del Loch Leven, vicino Ballachulish. Vi si trova il sito di una cappella costruita da San Fintan Mundus (noto anche come San Fintan Munnu), che arrivò qui da Iona nel VII secolo. La chiesa fu bruciata nel 1495 e ricostruita nel XVI secolo e l'ultima sua funzione si tenne nel luglio del 1653. L'isola è anche il sito di un cimitero un tempo utilizzato e gestito dai clan che abitavano l'isola, gli Stewarts di Ballachulish, i MacDonalds di Glencoe e i Cameron di Callart, qui vi riposano anche alcune vittime dello storico massacro di Glencoe. L'isola è tuttavia maggiormente nota per il sistema che i suoi abitanti utilizzavano per risolvere le dispute. L'isola della discussione Vicino Eilean Munde vi è un'isola più piccola, chiamata Eilean a 'Chomhraidh (o anche Eilean na Comhairle) maggiormente nota come l'Isola della Discussione. Questo era il luogo d'incontro, infatti, in cui le persone che avevano avuto delle controversie potevano risolverle. Solo quando tutte le parti coinvolte in causa potevano dirsi soddisfatte, gli ex contendenti potevano lasciare l'isola e recarsi presso l'isolotto vicino chiamato Eilean na Bainne ma noto come L'isola dell'alleanza o della ratifica. Era qui, infatti, che gli accordi venivano redatti e sigillati. Note Altri progetti Wikimedia Commons contiene immagini o altri file su Eilean Munde

Eilean Ruairidh Mòr

Eilean Ruairidh Mòr is a forested island in Loch Maree, Wester Ross, Scotland. Its name was formerly anglicised as "Ellan-Rorymore". The island is owned by Forestry and Land Scotland, as is the Slattadale Forest on the southern shore of Loch Maree. The islands in Loch Maree are among the least disturbed in Britain and are managed as a national nature reserve. History Eilean Ruairidh Mòr was planted with pines in about 1815. There are remains of a subterranean circular structure, similar to a Scandinavian dùn or burgh. The ancestors of the Mackenzies of Gairloch held it as a place of security from the attacks of the Macleods. Footnotes

Elderslie railway station

Elderslie railway station was a railway station serving the west of Elderslie, Scotland, originally as part of the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway (now the Ayrshire Coast Line). History The station opened on 21 July 1840. The station was grand in design, and had four platforms, with the station building extended out over the two central platforms. It had a covered walkway out into Elderslie Main Road. It was a busy railway intersection, as all mainline traffic from Glasgow - Ayr/Stranraer passed through it, as well as the Paisley Canal Line, the Dalry and North Johnstone Line, and the Bridge of Weir Railway. To the east of the station was Canal Junction, with the line dividing between the line to Glasgow via Paisley Gilmour Street and the line via Paisley Canal; whilst to the west a dive-under junction provided connections to the North Johnstone line and the line to Greenock Princes Pier, via Kilmacolm. Elderslie station closed on 14 February 1966 and was demolished shortly after, however it remained a junction until the closure of the Paisley Canal Line through to Kilmacolm in 1983. Following the Ayrshire Coast Line electrification in 1986, an Up Passenger Loop remains, and the line to the south west is signalled for bi-directional working. All that remains of the station now is the bricked off entrance on the main road, which once led to the covered walkway, and a large brick abutment adjacent to the current Glasgow to Ayr line.

Elgin Academy, Moray

Elgin Academy is a secondary school in Elgin, Moray, Scotland. The school was ranked 181 out of 340 schools in Scotland by the Times with 37% of pupils attaining five Highers. Admissions Pupils at Elgin Academy are in years S1 to S6. Most arrive in first year (S1) from one of the nearby primary schools, which include Bishopmill Primary, West End Primary, East End Primary, Seafield Primary and St Sylvesters. Other pupils arrive in later years, mainly because of the nearby Royal Air Force base at Lossiemouth. History Elgin Academy is the biggest school in Moray, with a history going back to the Middle Ages. The first school was built on the adjacent corners of Academy Street and Francis Place, now the site of the local youth cafe. The second academy was built in 1801, on the site that is now Moray College. The third Elgin Academy building, on Morriston Road, was built in the late 1960s and opened in 1969. In 2006 plans to merge the academy with Elgin High School were rejected after a public consultation. Instead a new £30 million building was constructed under private finance initiative, and opened in 2012. Covid-19 Moray had a very low incidence of COVID-19 infections by the 10 April 2021. The NHS confirmed a cluster of 46 cases developed within the academy in the following 25 days. The school remains open with an intensive screen schedule. In the last week Moray, with 17% of Grampian’s population, accounted for 100 cases, close to 50% of all Grampian's cases. The rate per 100,000 people currently lies at 50.1. In Aberdeenshire, for comparison, the rate is 8.4.

The school has an Additional Support Needs team that caters for pupils with profound and complex learning difficulties. Elgin High School maintains strong links with the local community and is often involved in fundraising and charity events. The school was inspected successfully by HMI (Education Scotland) in 2011. The Building The school is located on the edge of New Elgin with a semi-rural setting, with the original building opening in 1978. By late 2011 the condition of the school building was reckoned to be the worst in Moray. In September 2012, the school was included in a building replacement programme announced by the Scottish Government, with a new school to be built on the existing site. In February 2015 the local authority approved the plans. A £30 million replacement building opened in October 2017, with the former building demolished to provide space for an artificial pitch. There is also a separate block containing the PE department and fitness suite. Facilities include a library, drama studio, large games hall, gymnasium, fitness suite and spacious atrium area which is often used for assemblies as well as social events. In July 2022, with pupil numbers rising to 848, extra temporary classrooms were authorised to provide 66 spaces which are expected to be in place by October, ahead of a planned building extension. Headmasters Bill Hope 1978-2003 Andrew Simpson 2003-2016 Hugh McCulloch 2016–present Global Citizenship In 2009, Elgin High was one of eight schools in Scotland to receive the International Schools Award for its global links and fundraising efforts.

Ellen's Glen House

Ellen's Glen Community Hospital, originally Ellen's Glen House, is a community-based hospital which was built to provide services to elderly and mentally ill patients in Liberton, Edinburgh, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Lothian. In 2025, as result of the closure of the neighbouring Liberton Hospital, the medical day hospital moved from Liberton to Ellen's Glen. The hospital provides intermediate care and outpatients services, plus a small number of Hospital Based Complex Clinical Care (HBCCC) beds. It is also a base for the hospital-at-home service (a multidisciplinary acute care team). History The hospital has its origins in Southfield House, a building situated near Ellen's Glen nature reserve, which was designed by John Chesser in the Scottish baronial style. It opened as a tuberculosis sanatorium in 1875 and became part of the Royal Victoria Hospital in the 1920s. Plans of the original house, and later alterations by Dick, Peddie and MacKay, are held by Historic Environment Scotland and viewed via trove.scot. A new hospital, commissioned to replace the Southfield House facility, was procured under a Private Finance Initiative contract in February 1999. It was built by James Walker (Leith) Limited just to the north of Southfield House at a cost of £2.65 million and opened as Ellen's Glen House from January 2000. Services Prior to 2026, the hospital provided services to elderly and mentally ill patients in a two-floor building with 60 staffed beds set in extensive accessible gardens. The services included frail adult complex clinical care and palliative care; according to inspection reports stays range from a few weeks to a number of years. When the neighbouring Liberton Hospital closed at the end of 2025, the Hospital at Home and Medical Day hospital was relocated to Ellen's Glen Hospital. A reduction in frail elderly inpatient bed numbers from 27 to nine took place. Frail elderly patients have been transitioned to community settings (hospices, care homes and their own homes) in line with the strategic vision for health and social care. Thistle ward psychiatric patients were moved to other Lothian NHS clinical care facilities. Currently, Ellen's Glen is a base for the Hospital at Home service providing acute, hospital-level care by healthcare professionals in a home context for a condition that would otherwise require acute hospital inpatient care. The hospital also provides intermediate care, complex clinical care and outpatients services. References
Ellisland Farm

Die Ellisland Farm ist ein Bauernhof nahe der schottischen Ortschaft Auldgirth in der Council Area Dumfries and Galloway. 1971 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Geschichte Im Jahre 1777 erwarb Patrick Miller das Grundstück. Miller, der bekannt für die Erprobung neuer landwirtschaftlicher Verfahren war, erbaute den Bauernhof und bot 1787 dem Dichter Robert Burns den Hof zum Kauf an. Am 11. Juni des folgenden Jahres pachtete Burns den Bauernhof. Da er zunächst noch ein Bauernhaus errichten musste, bewohnte er den Hof jedoch nicht vor dem folgenden Sommer. Da die ausgelaugten Böden nicht den erwünschten Ertrag abwarfen, wandte sich Burns der Viehwirtschaft zu. Doch auch dieses Unternehmen blieb weitgehend erfolglos, weshalb er die Landwirtschaft aufgab und nach Dumfries zog. Dort bewohnte er zunächst eine Wohnung unter der Adresse 5–11 Bank Street. Während der Zeit auf der Ellisland Farm schrieb Burns mehrere bedeutende Werke, darunter auch das Gedicht Auld Lang Syne. Nachdem der Bauernhof noch bis 1921 bewirtschaftet wurde, kaufte der Präsident des Edinburgh Burns Clubs das Anwesen und öffnete es für Besucher. Beschreibung Der Bauernhof liegt abseits der A76 am rechten Ufer des Nith rund drei Kilometer südlich von Auldgirth. Das Mauerwerk der Gebäude besteht aus Bruchstein mit farblich abgesetzten Natursteineinfassungen. Neben dem einstöckigen Bauernhaus gehören verschiedene Wirtschaftsgebäude zu dem Komplex. Diese sind teilweise zweistöckig und mit weiten Toren ausgestattet. Abgesetzt am Nith-Ufer steht ein einstöckiger Schuppen mit Pyramidendach. Sämtliche Dächer sind mit Schiefer eingedeckt. Eine Bruchsteinmauer fasst den südlich gelegenen Garten ein.

Elsick House

Elsick House is a historic house in Kincardineshire, North-East Scotland. It is situated in an agricultural area about two miles from the North Sea near the town of Newtonhill; the Elsick Estate is situated within the watershed of the Burn of Elsick, a stream that traverses the estate. The house is located on the Elsick Estate (650 hectares (1,600 acres)), and is the present family seat of the Duke of Fife. Early area history Elsick House is located near the ancient Causey Mounth trackway, which road was constructed in medieval times to make passable this only available route across the coastal region of the Grampian Mounth connecting points south of Stonehaven to Aberdeen. This ancient drovers' road specifically connected the River Dee crossing (where the present Bridge of Dee is situated) via Portlethen Moss, Muchalls Castle and Stonehaven to the south. The route was that taken by William Keith, 7th Earl Marischal and the Marquess of Montrose when they led a Covenanter army of 9000 men in the first battle of the Civil War in 1639.
