Gayfield Park

Gayfield Park, commonly known as Gayfield, is a football stadium in Arbroath, Angus, Scotland. It is the home ground of Scottish Professional Football League team Arbroath F.C. The club have played at Gayfield since 1880, although the pitch has only been on its current alignment since the ground was redeveloped in 1925. The ground has a capacity of 6,600, including 861 seats. History Arbroath F.C. was formed in 1878 and played at Woodville Park and Hospitalfield before acquiring a former rubbish tip on the seafront to build Gayfield. The new ground was opened in 1880, with the first match being a Scottish Cup tie against Rob Roy. The original site was very cramped, with no room for spectators on the Dundee Road side; when Rangers lost to Arbroath in the Scottish Cup they complained that the pitch wasn't playable due to its size, saying they had been "beaten on a back green", and won the rematch. In September 1885, Arbroath played Bon Accord in the Scottish Cup at Gayfield and won 36–0, which remains a British record score for a senior football match. Arbroath joined the Scottish Football League in 1921, with the first League match at Gayfield being against Johnstone. The club's plans to construct a "Greater Gayfield" led to the pitch being moved 60 yards, so that the original halfway line became the goal line and a stand could be constructed along Dundee Road. The new ground was opened on 29 August 1925 against East Fife. Gayfield's record attendance of 13,510 was set against Rangers in February 1952. Floodlights were first installed in 1955. The main stand had to be rebuilt following a fire in 1958. This stand was replaced in 2002 by the present main stand, which was extended in 2010. Upgrades to the stadium exterior (main front wall, club shop, turnstiles and main entrance) were carried out in 2022, replacing structures which had been largely unchanged since 1925. Structure and facilities Gayfield is situated on the sea front, to the west of Arbroath harbour, on the southern edge of the town. Due to its position next to the North Sea, in winter spectators can be exposed to severe cold and winds. The ground has a capacity of 6,600. The only seating area is the single tier, covered, Gayfield Stand. The stand was opened in 2002 and seats 861 spectators. The stadium has standing terracing around the entire pitch with covered pleasureland stand (South End), the East Terrace and the bellrock buffet stand (North End). When segregation is required, the away support is allocated the pleasureland stand End and half of the East Terrace, but this can be reduced to just the pleasureland end if required. The pitch size is 115 by 71 yards (105 m × 65 m). Records Record attendance: 13,510 v Rangers, Scottish Cup 3rd round, 23 February 1952 References

MV Captayannis

The Captayannis was a Greek sugar-carrying vessel that sank in the Firth of Clyde, Scotland in 1974. Known as the Sugar Boat locally. Sinking On the evening of 27 January 1974, a severe storm caused the 4,576 GRT Captayannis to drag her anchor while she was waiting at the Tail of the Bank to deliver sugar to the James Watt Dock in Greenock. Her captain ordered the engines to be started with the intention of running for the more sheltered waters of the Gareloch but before she could be brought to power she drifted onto the taut anchor chains of the BP tanker British Light. The tanker suffered no damage but her anchor chains holed the sugar boat below the waterline, allowing water to pour in. Captayannis's Captain Theodorakis Ionnis, realizing that water was flowing in so fast that she was in imminent danger of sinking, opted to beach her in the shallow waters over the sandbank and steered to the desired spot where she stuck fast. The pilot boats, the tug Labrador and Clyde Marine Motoring's 20 metre passenger vessel Rover came to assist. The vessel heeled over so far that it was possible for the crew to jump onto the deck of the Rover. 25 of the crew were taken ashore aboard the Rover, but the Captain and four crewmen waited on the Labrador, standing off the stricken vessel. The ship finally succumbed the next morning, rolling onto her side. She has lain there ever since. Aftermath The wreck has been looted extensively leaving just steel hull and superstructure. Some of the wooden decking remains in remarkably good condition after more than 50 years in the sea. The hull remains sound, though her thinner deck plates are starting to rust through with holes opening up in places. Through time Captayannis has become 'home' to marine life and birds. She has never been removed as confusion surrounds the identity of her owners and insurers – no one accepts responsibility for her removal. She is known to many locals simply as the "sugar boat". Boat Tours from Greenock are available. The wreck is a familiar sight near the Tail of the Bank and can be seen on satellite images. The wreck is not to be confused with that of the French warship Maillé Brézé which sank nearby in 1940, but was later removed and cut up in Port Glasgow in 1956. In June 2025 it was reported by the BBC that recent harsh weather over the winter, including Storm Éowyn, had accelerated the vessel's decline. Wreck Area: Sand bank between Greenock and Helensburgh Location: Firth of Clyde Scotland UK Position: 55°58′34″N 4°44′31″W Max. Depth: 9.00 Year Sank: 1974 How Sank: Hit anchor chain of another ship or hit the sandbank during a storm.

MV Captayannis

El Captayannis fue un buque de carga azucarero griego que se hundió en el estuario de Clyde (Escocia, Reino Unido) en 1974.​ Hundimiento En la tarde del 27 de enero de 1974, una fuerte tormenta hizo que el Captayannis, de 4.576 toneladas, arrastrara el ancla mientras esperaba en la cola del banco para entregar azúcar en el muelle James Watt de Greenock.​​ Su capitán ordenó arrancar las máquinas con la intención de dirigirse a las aguas más protegidas de Gareloch, pero antes de que pudiera ponerse en marcha, el Captayannis se desvió hacia las tensas cadenas de anclaje del petrolero British Light.​ El petrolero no sufrió daños, pero sus cadenas de anclaje agujerearon el barco azucarero por debajo de la línea de flotación, permitiendo la entrada de agua.​ El capitán del Captayannis, Theodorakis Ionnis, al darse cuenta de que el agua entraba tan deprisa que corría peligro inminente de hundirse, optó por vararlo en las aguas poco profundas sobre el banco de arena y dirigió el rumbo hacia el punto deseado, donde se atascó,​ Las lanchas de prácticos, el remolcador Labrador y el buque de pasajeros Rover, de 20 metros de eslora, de Clyde Marine Motoring acudieron en su ayuda. El buque se escoró tanto que la tripulación pudo saltar a la cubierta del Rover.​ 25 miembros de la tripulación fueron llevados a tierra a bordo del Rover, pero el capitán y cuatro tripulantes esperaron en el Labrador, alejados del buque siniestrado. El buque sucumbió a la mañana siguiente, volcando sobre su costado​ donde yace desde entonces. Pecio El pecio ha sido saqueado en gran medida, quedando sólo el casco y la superestructura de acero.​ Parte de la cubierta de madera sigue en muy buen estado después de más de 40 años en el mar. El casco sigue en buen estado, aunque las placas más finas de la cubierta están empezando a oxidarse y a abrirse agujeros en algunos lugares. Con el tiempo, Captayannis se ha convertido en el "hogar" de la vida marina y las aves. Nunca ha sido retirado, ya que la identidad de sus propietarios y aseguradores está rodeada de confusión: nadie acepta la responsabilidad de su retirada. Muchos lugareños lo conocen simplemente como el "barco del azúcar".​ El pecio puede verse en imágenes por satélite.​​ No debe confundirse con el del buque de guerra francés Maillé Brézé, que naufragó en las proximidades en 1940,​ pero fue posteriormente retirado y desguazado en Port Glasgow en 1956.

Carrbridge Packhorse Bridge

Carrbridge Packhorse Bridge, also known as Coffin Bridge, is a historic packhorse bridge in the village of Carrbridge, in the Scottish Highlands. The bridge was built in 1717 to allow funeral processions to reach Duthil Church by crossing the River Dulnain. The parapets were washed away in the 19th century. In 1971 the bridge became a Category B listed building. It has become a popular tourist attraction. History The packhorse bridge was constructed to allow funerals to proceed across the River Dulnain to Duthil Church. Brigadier-General Alexander Grant commissioned the bridge. Stonemason John Niccelsone constructed the bridge at Lynne of Dalrachney and the £100 cost was paid for out of stipends of Duthil Church. The bridge was completed in 1717 and floods in the 1829 Muckle Spate washed away the guard rails. The bridge also provided a way for tradesmen and locals to cross the river. It is the Scottish Highlands' oldest known stone bridge. It was listed as a scheduled monument on 29 December 1958 and subsequently de-scheduled on 5 April 2016. The bridge became a Category B listed building on 5 October 1971. Description The bridge in the village of Carrbridge is a popular tourist attraction and lies within the Cairngorms mountain area of Scotland. It has also been described as the coffin bridge. All that exists today is a slender arch across the River Dulnain. The width of the bridge between the missing side rails is 2.14 m (7.0 ft). It is described in the Category B listing as a "High single span humpback rubble bridge; tooled rubble arch ring springing from natural rock abutment; neither surfacing nor parapet survive."

Culloden Viaduct

Der Culloden Viaduct ist Teil der Eisenbahnlinie Perth–Inverness (Highland Main Line) in Schottland, die vor Inverness etwa neun Kilometer nach Osten ausschwenkt, um bei Culloden den Fluss Nairn zu überqueren. Er führt an den altertümlichen Grabanlagen von Clava vorbei und wird daher auch Clava Viaduct genannt; weitere Bezeichnungen sind Culloden Moor Viaduct oder Nairn Viaduct. Der Viadukt wurde 1893–1898 unter der Leitung von John Fowler und Murdoch Paterson von Charles Brand & Sons erbaut. Er ist der längste Eisenbahnviadukt Schottlands. Er hat 29 Steinbögen von je 15,24 m Weite und einen Hauptbogen über dem Fluss von 30,48 m Weite. Die Bauweise des 39 m hohen Viadukts ist schlicht und ohne jegliche Verzierungen. Lediglich die Kämpferpfeiler des Hauptbogens wurden betont. Der Viadukt wurde 1971 in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Kategorie A aufgenommen. Weblinks Culloden-Viadukt.

Culloden Viaduct

The Culloden Viaduct (known variously as the Nairn Viaduct, Culloden Moor Viaduct, or Clava Viaduct) is the longest masonry railway viaduct in Scotland. It carries the Highland Main Line, to the east of the city of Inverness, in the Highland council area of Scotland. Design Culloden Viaduct has 29 arches, making it the longest masonry viaduct in Scotland. It crosses the River Nairn and its valley. It is built from rubble and dressed with red-faced ashlar. The arch rings have tooled ashlar details. The arches are all semi-circular with a 50-foot (15-metre) span except for the one crossing the river (between the 10th and 11th piers from the north) which has a span of 100 feet (30 metres). The total length of the viaduct is around 1,800 feet (550 metres). It curves at the south end to align with the hillside. History The viaduct was designed by Murdoch Paterson, the Highland Railway's chief engineer. It opened in 1898 as part of the Inverness and Aviemore Direct Railway, which was built by the Highland Railway and is now part of the Highland Main Line. The railway previously took a more circuitous route via Forres. It was one of the last major railway engineering works in Scotland. Culloden Moor railway station was situated at the northern end of the viaduct, but the station was closed in the 1960s. Paterson died there in 1897, before the viaduct was complete. It was his last engineering project. The viaduct is a Category A listed building, a status which grants it legal protection, It was first listed on 5 October 1971. It is just east of the site of the Battle of Culloden (1746).

Floors Castle

Floors Castle ist ein Schloss in der schottischen Kleinstadt Kelso in der Council Area Scottish Borders. 1971 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Des Weiteren ist die zugehörige Torzufahrt separat ebenfalls als Kategorie-A-Bauwerk klassifiziert. Außerdem bilden beide Bauwerke zusammen ein Denkmalensemble der Kategorie A. Geschichte Historisch zählten die Ländereien zu den Besitztümern der Kelso Abbey. Mit der postreformatorischen Säkularisation der klösterlichen Güter installierte König Jakob VI. mit seinem Protegé Robert Ker im Jahre 1600 einen Lord Roxburghe, welcher über das Anwesen verfügte. 1616 wurde Ker zum ersten Earl of Roxburghe erhoben. Der Titel wurde innerhalb der Familie vererbt und die Earls of Roxburghe bewiesen sich in der Folgezeit als gewichtige Politiker. Auf Grund seiner tragenden Rolle im Zusammenhang mit dem Act of Union wurde der fünfte Earl of Roxburghe, John Ker, als erster Duke of Roxburghe installiert. 1721 begannen die Arbeiten am heutigen Floors Castle, an dessen Standort sich zuvor ein als House of Floris bezeichnetes Tower House befunden hatte. Nach einem Entwurf des schottischen Architekten William Adam entstand ein Herrenhaus. In flankierenden Pavillons waren Stallungen und Wirtschaftsbereiche untergebracht. James Innes-Ker, 6. Duke of Roxburghe beauftragte um 1837 William Henry Playfair mit der Erweiterung und Modernisierung von Floors Castle. Aus diesen umfassenden Arbeiten ging das heutige Schloss hervor. Neben Erweiterungen und Umgestaltungen, auch des Innenraums, umfasste die Maßnahme auch die Anlage verschiedener Außengebäude. Heute umfasst das Anwesen, das weiterhin Sitz des Dukes of Roxburghe ist, einen Golfplatz und ein Hotel. 1987 wurden die Außenanlagen in das Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland aufgenommen. Torzufahrt Das weitläufige Anwesen am Nordwestrand von Kelso schmiegt sich entlang des linken Ufers des Tweeds. Das am Ostrand des Anwesens gelegene Tor markiert den stadtseitigen Zufahrtsweg zu Floors Castle. Es wurde 1929 nach einem Entwurf von Reginald Fairlie gestaltet. Die Anlage besteht aus zwei Lodges, welche die Zufahrt flankieren. Die quadratischen Gebäude mit bossiertem Mauerwerk schließen mit geschwungenen, schiefergedeckten Dächern. Auf den hohen Torpfeilern mit abschließenden Gesimsen sitzen Urnen auf. In den Zwischenräumen zwischen dem zweiflügligen, schmiedeeisernen Haupttor und den Lodges verläuft ein hoher Zaun. In diesen sind zwei Fußgängertore eingelassen. Einzelnachweise Weblinks Netzpräsenz des Anwesens Eintrag zu Floors Castle auf trove.scot, der Datenbank von Historic Environment Scotland (englisch)
Floors Castle

Il Floors Castle è uno storico edificio situato nei pressi della cittadina scozzese di Kelso, nell'area amministrativa degli Scottish Borders: realizzato tra il 1718/1721 e il 1725/1726 e rimodellato tra il 1837/1838 e il 1845/1849, rispettivamente su progetto degli architetti William Adam e William Playfair, è la residenza dei duchi di Roxburghe. Si tratta del più grande castello abitato della Scozia ed è classificato come castello di categoria A. Storia Il terreno in cui sorge il castello, in origine di proprietà dei monaci dell'abbazia di Kelso, venne ceduto dopo la Riforma protestante da re Giacomo VI di Scozia a Sir Robert Ker, futuro primo conte di Roxburghe. La costruzione del castello venne ordinata nel 1718 o 1721 da John Ker, I duca di Roxburghe, che affidò l'incarico a l'architetto William Adam, padre del più celebre Robert Adam. William Adam realizzò un palazzo neoclassico, ispirandosi allo stile di John Valburgh (progettista di Blenheim Palace) e dei giardini circostanti: la costruzione durò circa cinque anni. In seguito, l'edificio fu oggetto di varie opere di ristrutturazione, prima che nel 1837 o 1838 venisse completamente rimodellato dall'architetto William Playfair su incarico del VI duca di Roxburgh. La ricostruzione durò circa otto anni: ad ispirare il progetto Playfair fu lo Heriot's Hospital di Edimburgo e il nuovo edificio, ornato di pinnacoli e torrette, venne definito dallo scrittore Sir Walter Scott (che dimorava nella vicina Abbotsford House) come il "la dimora ideale per Oberon e Titania". Nel 1867 venne poi realizzata nel parco del castello una residenza estiva per ricevere la regina Vittoria. In seguito, nel corso del XX secolo, Floors Castle venne ereditato dalla statunitense Mary Goelet, VIII duchessa di Roxburghe, che arredò gli interni del castello con la sua ricca collezione di arazzi del XVII secolo. Nel 1953, Floors Castle fu teatro di un movimentato episodio che vide coinvolti il IX duca di Roxburghe e la moglie, la quale, non volendo lasciare l'edificio dopo che i due avevano litigato a causa dei tradimenti di lui, venne lasciata senz'acqua ed elettricità. Floors Castle balzò quindi nuovamente alle cronache il 19 luglio 2022, quando il termometro segnò in loco 35,1° C, vale a dire la temperatura più alta mai registrata in precedenza in Scozia. Architettura Floors Castle si erge lungo il corso del fiume Tweed, di fronte alle rovine di Roxburgh Castle. Negli interni del castello, si trovano dipinti di artisti quali Gainsborough, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso e Raerburn. Nella cultura di massa Floors Castle fu una delle location del film del 1984, diretto da Hugh Hudson e con protagonista Christopher Lambert, Greystoke - La leggenda di Tarzan, il signore delle scimmie.
