Shillay, Monach Islands

Shillay (Scottish Gaelic: Siolaigh or Seilaigh from the Norse selrey, meaning Seal island) is the westernmost of the Monach Islands (Heisgeir), off North Uist in the Outer Hebrides. Geology and geography Like most of the other Monach Islands, Shillay has a thin, sandy soil, which has been much troubled by erosion, and which was badly eroded by a huge wave in the 16th century. Despite Ceann Iar's name, meaning "western headland", Shillay is the westernmost island of the group. There are several small islets around Shillay, including Eilean Siorraidh, Odarum (to the north) and Raisgeir. Lighthouses The lighthouse at Shillay has an uneven history. The red brick lighthouse was built in 1864 by David & Thomas Stevenson, and was in use until it was closed during the war in 1942 and not lit again in 1948 after hostilities ceased. After the Braer disaster in 1993 in Shetland, a new light was recommended to mark the deep water route west of the Hebrides. A new automated aluminium light was installed in 1997. However it proved inadequate and in 2005 it was decided that it was cheaper to reuse the original lighthouse than to increase the height of the new light. In 2008 the old lighthouse was refurbished and put back into use. A stone from the lighthouse has been removed into the church wall at Paible; a keeper had carved into it "Eternity Oh Eternity". Just to the south of Shillay, there is an Eilean Siorraidh ("Island of Eternity"; formerly Eilean Siorruidh) - whether this carving is a reference to this or the solitude of the island is unrecorded.

Shillay (îles Monach)

Shillay (en gaélique écossais: Siolaigh ou Seilaigh) est la plus occidentale des îles Monach (Heisgeir), au large de North Uist dans les Hébrides extérieures. Géologie et géographie Comme la plupart des autres îles de Monach, Shillay a un sol mince et sablonneux, qui a été gravement érodé naturellement et par une énorme vague au XVIe siècle. En dépit du nom de Ceann Iar , signifiant « promontoire occidental », Shillay est l'île la plus à l'ouest de l'archipel. Il y a plusieurs petits îlots autour de Shillay, y compris Eilean Siorraidh, Odarum (au nord) et Raisgeir. Phare Portail de l’Écosse Portail des îles
Шиллай (острова Монах)

Ши́ллай (англ. Shillay, гэльск. Siolaigh, Seilaigh) — необитаемый остров в составе архипелага Монах, Внешние Гебридские острова, Шотландия, Великобритания. Шиллай является самым западным островом архипелага, его размеры приблизительно составляют 1200 на 400 метров, площадь — 0,74 км², высшая точка — 10 метров над уровнем моря. Как и все острова группы, Шиллай имеет тонкий слой песочной почвы, легко поддаётся эрозии. Скорее всего, несколько тысячелетий назад был соединён с другими островами архипелага, но в XVI веке острова Монах подверглись разрушительному действию огромной волны, которая смыла большое количество земли с них. Около 160 дней в году острова Монах обдувает ураганный ветер западных направлений, особенно это касается самого западного острова — Шиллай. С начала 1930-х годов до 1948 года население острова составляло два человека — смотрители маяка, с 1948 года и по настоящее время остров снова необитаем. Маяки Шиллай интересен тем, что на нём стоят одновременно два маяка. Братья-инженеры Дэвид и Томас Стивенсоны возвели здесь маяк в 1864 году, свет в котором поддерживали два монаха — отсюда и название всего архипелага. В 1948 году, когда последний житель покинул остров, маяк выключили. В 1997 году был выстроен новый маяк, однако его светосила вскоре была признана слишком слабой (свет был виден с 10 миль, а не с необходимых 18), поэтому в 2008 году его отключили, а взамен снова заработал старый маяк, с усовершенствованной оптикой, работающий в полностью автоматическом режиме. 15 ноября 1936 года двое смотрителей маяка погибли: они возвращались на Шиллай с соседнего острова Кянн-Иар с продуктами и почтой. Расстояние между островами было не более 600 метров, глубина пролива всего 1—2 метра, но внезапно задул ураганный ветер и резко начала прибывать вода. Через несколько часов их обнаружили мёртвыми на берегу, рядом лежала их перевёрнутая лодка.

Glasgow Central Mosque

The Glasgow Central Mosque is a Sunni Deobandi mosque, located on the south bank of the River Clyde in the Gorbals district of central Glasgow, Scotland, in the United Kingdom. The Islamic Centre is the central institution for the local Muslim community, and is the largest community centre in Strathclyde. With capacity for 4,000 worshippers, it is Scotland's largest mosque. The mosque was designed by Coleman Ballantine Partnership Architects in the Islamic style built in old red sandstone, and was completed in 1983. Controversies In February 2016, Habib ur Rehman Rauf, then-religious head of the mosque (who moved to an Edinburgh mosque in 2020), was quoted in the media supporting the actions of Mumtaz Qadri, who assassinated Pakistani politician Salman Taseer whilst acting as his security guard. Habib said his "comments were 'misconstrued' and said the situation had added to his 'sense of tragedy' following recent terror attacks." Qadri disagreed with Taseer's opposition to Pakistan's blasphemy law. In April 2016, the International Business Times said that the mosque held annual Khatme Nabuwwat conferences. The mosque president, Dr Mohammed Shafi Kausar said there was no secular group at the mosque. Also in April 2016, representatives of Glasgow Central Mosque ostensibly accepted but then declined to appear at the last minute at a vigil in memory of Asad Shah, a Pakistani shopkeeper assassinated by a Pakistani Muslim extremist.

Stewart's Melville RFC

Stewart's Melville RFC is a rugby union club based in Edinburgh, Scotland. The team competes in Scottish National League Division Two, the third tier of Scottish club rugby. Home matches are played at Inverleith; this was the venue for Scotland's home games between 1899 and 1925, during which time the first matches against France and New Zealand were played. History The club took on its present form following the merger of Stewart's College FP and Melville College FP in 1973 when the club became known as Stewart's Melville FP RFC. As the name suggests, many of the players in the club's history were former pupils of the Stewart's Melville College (formed in a merger of Daniel Stewart's College and Melville College) in Edinburgh. This remains the case today, although the club is now 'open' and welcomes players who did not attend the school. The 1st XV were coached by Grant MacKenzie, a P.E. teacher who worked at the school, and who died in 2008. In June 2014 the club resolved at an AGM to shorten the name to Stewart's Melville RFC. The club currently run two XVs on a regular basis. The 1st and 2nd XVs both play in competitive leagues with the 2nd XV currently playing in Arnold Clark Inter City Reserve League Division 2.

Stirling County RFC est un club écossais de rugby à XV situé à Stirling, qui évolue dans le Scottish Premiership Division 1 lors de la saison 2007-08. Histoire Stirling County RFC est fondé en 1880 sous le nom de Stirling High School FP, par d’anciens élèves du lycée de Stirling, mais n'est affilié la fédération écossaise qu'en 1904. En 1925, Stirling FR fusionne avec le Bridge of Allan Rugby Club sous le nom de Stirling County RFC.

Néanmoins, le club a du mal à survivre au plus haut niveau et fait régulièrement l’ascenseur entre la première et la deuxième division. Au terme de la saison 2006-07, le club remporte d’ailleurs le titre de D2 et se retrouve promu en Premiership division 1 pour la saison 2007-2008. Il est en revanche célèbre pour son école de rugby.

Stockinish Island

Stockinish Island (Scottish Gaelic: Eilean Stocainis) is an uninhabited island off Harris, in the Outer Hebrides. Geography and geology Stockinish Island lies on the edge of the Minch, in the mouth of Loch Stockinish, south east of Harris. It is uninhabited and is now used for grazing. The island is 49 hectares (0.19 sq mi) in area, and rises to 44 metres (144 ft) at its highest point. Loch an t-Sàile (loch of the brine), in the centre of the island, is an artificially dammed salt water loch, probably formerly a fish trap, and now used as a lobster pond. Stockinish's geology is Lewisian gneiss. Stockinish Island has two kyles (narrows), namely Caolas Beag to the north east and Caolas Mòr to the south west. It provides shelter to Stockinish Loch, which has a pier used by yachts during the summer. To the south west is the small Eilean Leasait, and Stac nam Faoileag (seagull stack) is just to the south. There are a number of reefs to the south, which are above water at low tide. Footnotes

It is about 28 hectares (69 acres) in extent and is 0.65 miles at its longest by 0.33 miles at its widest The coastline is largely cliff-lined and rocky however slopes down to the northernmost part of the island at which point it is possible to land by small boat or kayak. Tarner Island is dotted with small sea caves around the perimeter, many large enough to kayak into, and there is a natural arch to the north. The west of the island is dominated by cliffs and a large leaning boulder, known as 'Fingal's Limpet Hammer'. ("A huge block of trap, which has slipped from the face of a cliff in one of the islands of Loch Bracadale in Skye, is called ' Ord-bàirnich Fhinn,' Fingal's limpet-hammer."

Teaninich (destilleri)

Teaninich destilleri er et Highland single malt skotsk whisky-destilleri i Alness, Skotland. Historie Teaninich destilleri blev grundlagt og opført i 1817 af Hugh Munro på hans gods Teaninich Castle. Trods indledende vanskeligheder med at skaffe bygwhisky på grund af stor efterspørgsel fra illegale destillerier producerede Teaninich i 1830 allerede 30 gange mere spiritus end ved grundlæggelsen. På det tidspunkt solgte Munro destilleriet til sin yngre bror, generalløjtnant John Munro. Som officer tilbragte han det meste af sin tid i Indien og besluttede derfor i 1850 at udleje destilleriet til Robert Pattison. Lejemålet varede til 1869, hvorefter Munro udlejede det til John McGilchrist Ross. Ross opgav lejemålet i 1895, og i 1898 overtog Robert Innes Cameron en andel i destilleriet. Munro og Cameron renoverede og udvidede destilleriet, og investerede £10.000 i ombygningen. I 1904 overtog Cameron, som også ejede andele i Benrinnes, Linkwood og Tamdhu, destilleriet fuldt ud. Efter Camerons død i 1933 blev destilleriet solgt til The Distillers Company. Produktionen blev indstillet mellem 1939 og 1946 på grund af mangel på byg under anden verdenskrig. I 1970 blev destilleriet kraftigt udvidet, og en helt ny bygning med seks nye kedler (stills) blev taget i brug. De fire ældre kedler fortsatte driften sideløbende med de nye. Den gamle del af destilleriet blev derefter moderniseret over det næste årti. I 1973 blev der opført nye anlæg til formaling, mæskning og gæring, og i 1975 blev der tilføjet et anlæg til produktion af kvægfoder af draff (restprodukt fra mæskningen). I 1984 blev den gamle del taget ud af drift (mothballed), og året efter fulgte den nye del, hvilket midlertidigt standsede produktionen helt. Guinness opkøbte The Distillers Company i 1986. Guinness fusionerede med Grand Metropolitan i 1997 og dannede Diageo. Den nye del af Teaninich genoptog produktionen i 1991. Den gamle del blev ikke genåbnet og blev revet ned i 1999. I 2000 blev der installeret en mæsk filterpresse i destilleriet, hvilket er unikt i skotsk maltwhisky-produktion; alle andre skotske destillerier anvender mash tuns. I april 2013 annoncerede Diageo endnu en renovering af destilleriet. De meddelte også, at et nyt destilleri med 16 nye kedler ville blive opført ved siden af det gamle. Det nye destilleri er planlagt til at få et andet navn end Teaninich og producere en separat whisky. Produktion Destilleriet producerer hovedsageligt maltwhisky til blended whisky, og den anvendes i Johnnie Walker Red Label. Der findes ingen officielle aftapninger af malten som selvstændig udgave. Siden 1992 har en 10-årig malt været tilgængelig i serien Flora & Fauna. Referencer Eksterne henvisninger
