Cloncaird Castle

Cloncaird Castle is located near the small village of Kirkmichael, around 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) east of Maybole in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The castle lies beside the Kelsie Burn, at the centre of a 140 acres (57 ha) estate. Originally a 16th-century castle, it was extended and rebuilt as a country house in the early 19th century. After a time as a convalescent home, it is now a private residence once more. History The castle was originally built during the 16th century, and is described as having been in the style of feudal mansions of that period, with a large square tower, narrow spiral staircase, and other indications of the time to which it belonged. An armorial panel dated 1585 is still in place on the castle wall. Towards the close of the 16th century it was in the possession of Walter Mure, a scion of the Auchendrane family, and cousin of the Laird of Auchendrane who devised the murder of Sir Thomas Kennedy of Culzean. This Walter Mure of Cloncaird was the perpetrator of the murder, and was assisted in the execution of his crime by his boon companion, Kennedy of Drumurchy. Cloncaird was purchased by Henry Ritchie of Craigton and Busbie in the early 19th century. Born in 1777, Henry Ritchie was a descendant of James Ritchie, 'merchand burgess' of Glasgow; whose name appears in the Commissary Register in 1674. The family was settled in Craigton, Lanarkshire in 1746, and Henry's father, James, acquired the estate of Busbie, Ayrshire in 1763 and married 1765 Catharine, daughter of Robert Kerr of Newfield, a grandson of the 1st Marquess of Lothian. Ritchie made Cloncaird his chief residence, and in 1814 he had the front entirely re-built and modernised, giving the castle its current appearance. Ritchie succeeded his father at Busbie and Craigton in 1799, and was twice married: to Elizabeth Cathcart (died 1836); then in 1838 to Catherine, daughter of James Fergusson of Kilkerran, 4th Baronet. Ritchie died in 1843 having had three unmarried daughters by his first wife, and the estates passed to his sister's son, William Wallace of Cairnhill. In 1905 Cloncaird was sold by Colonel Hugh Robert Wallace to a Mrs Dubs, widow of Charles Ralph Dubs and daughter of William Roe Arthur who he then married in 1908. The castle was extensively renovated at this time. Mrs Dubs died in 1947, and from 1949 the mansion was used as the Dubs Memorial Convalescent Home, operated by the local authority. When this closed the castle returned to private ownership. It was purchased before 2003 by Ephraim Belcher, chairman of Belcher Food Products. The house is a category B listed building. Within the grounds are category C listed structures including an Arts and Crafts style garage, U-shaped stable block and a bridge. The grounds also contain a pond, weir and fountain, and a walled garden.

ГЕС Errochty

ГЕС Errochty — гідроелектростанція в Шотландії. Входить до складу гідровузла у сточищі річки Tummel (ліва притока Тей, яка впадає в затоку Північного моря Ферт-оф-Тей біля Данді), що дренує центральну частину Грампіанських гір. Водосховище цієї дериваційної станції спорудили в долині лівої притоки Tummel річки Errochty. Останню перекрили контрфорсною греблею висотою 49 метрів та довжиною 354 метри, яка утримує витягнуту по долині на 3 км водойму. Вона поповнюється не лише за рахунок прямого стоку, але й завдяки деривації через тунель завдовжки 19 км, що транспортує воду з річки Garry (велика ліва притока Tummel) та ряду її лівих приток (Bruar та інші). При цьому, оскільки сховище Errochty розташоване по праву сторону від течії Garry, тунель долає долину цієї річки. Від озера Loch Errochty прокладено інший дериваційний тунель завдовжки 9,6 км та діаметром 4,5 метра до машинного залу. Останній споруджений у виїмці в горі, оберненій до озера Loch Tummel (створене на Tummel при будівництві ГЕС Clunie). Зал оснащений трьома турбінами типу Френсіс потужністю по 25 МВт, які при напорі у 186 метрів забезпечують річний виробіток електроенергії на рівні 103 млн кВт-год. Примітки
Corn Exchange, Melrose

The Corn Exchange is a commercial building in the Market Square in Melrose, Scottish Borders, Scotland. The structure, which is now used as a public events venue, is a Category B listed building. History In the early 1860s, a group of local businessmen decided to form a company to finance and commission a corn exchange for the town. The site they selected was on the southwest side of the Market Square. The new building was designed by David Cousin in the Jacobethan style, built in rubble masonry with ashlar stone dressings at a cost of £3,000, and was opened in autumn 1863. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of five bays facing onto the Market Square. The central section of three bays featured three square headed shop openings with hood moulds on the ground floor, three sash windows with strapwork pediments and a balcony on the first floor, and a large stepped gable, containing a small rectangular window, above. The outer bays contained doorways on the ground floor, sash windows with colonettes and finials on the first floor, and dormer windows above. Internally, the principal room was the main hall, which was 66 feet (20 m) long and 31 feet (9.4 m) wide. After her death in 1869, a plaque was installed in the building to commemorate the life of the local songwriter, Elizabeth Clephane, who wrote the hymns "The Ninety and Nine" and "Beneath the Cross of Jesus". The use of the building as a corn exchange declined significantly in the wake of the Great Depression of British Agriculture in the late 19th century. Instead, it was re-purposed as a public events venue: in spring 1941, during the Second World War, the building hosted concert parties for 18th Infantry Division which was billeted in the local area. The building became a popular concert venue in the 1960s: performers at that time included Robert Plant and the Band of Joy. The journalist, Kate Adie, spoke at the corn exchange in November 2008, and, after a major refurbishment, in September 2021, Arabella Weir, became the first comedian to perform on the stage following the re-opening of the building.

Binnhill Tower

Binnhill Tower is a stone-built tower in the Gothic style, located in Kinfauns, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. A Category B listed structure, the tower stands on Binn Hill, in the centre of Binn Wood, about 0.4 miles (0.64 km) east of Kinfauns Castle. It was designed to be an observatory for Francis Gray, 14th Lord Gray, to view the River Tay and the Lomond Hills, and was completed in 1813. The tower cannot by accessed by road and can only be reached on foot. History Binnhill Tower was constructed in 1813 on the grounds of Kinfauns Castle to be an observatory for the castle's owner Francis Gray, 14th Lord Gray and his guests to see panoramic views of the River Tay and the Lomond Hills. During the late 20th century, Binnhill Tower fell into disrepair and the roof rotted away, leaving it roofless. The tower was also frequently vandalised, with a fire being set against the doorway in the 1990s. It was placed on the Buildings at Risk Register for Scotland in 1997, and is considered by them to be in poor condition and at moderate risk. It is a Category B listed structure. The tower was put on the market in 2015, with an asking price of £28,000, and sold in September of that year. It was listed for sale again, in March 2022, when it was noted that the tower had lapsed planning permission to be restored. Architecture It is a square tower that was designed in a Gothic style and has four-storeys. The entrance to the tower is an arched doorway on the ground floor, leading to an octagonal spiral staircase to the first floor. Gallery References

Boghall Castle

Boghall Castle was a 14th-century castle to the south of Biggar, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. Boghall became ruinous in the 19th century. History The courtyard castle was built in the 14th century by the Fleming family, to replace the motte and bailey castle at Biggar. The castle was strategically sited where the valleys of the River Tweed and the River Clyde meet. The foundations of two D-shaped towers survive but the rest is ruinous. Edward II of England stayed at Boghall in 1310. During 1473, Queen Margaret, wife of James III of Scotland, stayed the night at Boghall on her way to the shrine of St. Ninian in Whithorn. Mary, Queen of Scots stayed at Boghall in 1565. Regent Moray came to Boghall with an army on 11 June 1568 and the castle surrendered to him. He did not slight or demolish it, because Lord Fleming held Dumbarton Castle against him, and he hoped to negotiate. On 14 November 1569, Regent Moray gave soldiers, commanded by James Cunningham, 20 shillings in drinksilver for their labours in confiscating the goods of Lord Fleming at Boghall. The farm stock taken from Boghall included 8 oxen, 13 cows, a bull, and a flock of 617 sheep. Regent Lennox sacked the houses of Cumbernauld and Boghall in September and October 1570, and expelled Lord Fleming's wife Elizabeth Ross and her three infant children from her properties. An inventory of goods at Boghall Castle was made in October 1578 after the death of Elizabeth Ross, Lady Fleming, the wife of John Fleming, 5th Lord Fleming. These include rich bed hangings and canopies of velvet and silk and gilded wooden knops and finials for beds. Citations References Coventry, Martin (2008).

Monteath Mausoleum

The Monteath Mausoleum is a large landmark in the Scottish Borders near the village of Ancrum. The listed building can be seen from the A68 road just north of Jedburgh. It was built in 1864 and renovated in 2018. History General Sir Thomas Monteath Douglas commissioned this large mausoleum which was built on the hill named Gersit Law to the north of Jedburgh near Ancrum. The land belonged to his son-in-law Sir William Monteath Scott and overlooks the site of the Battle of Ancrum Moor. The mausoleum was designed by the Edinburgh architects Peddie & Kinnear. The building is dated 1864 which is four years before Douglas died. They included a domed roof design similar to Dundas House in Edinburgh that was used by the Bank of Scotland. That later design also incorporated glass star-shaped roof lights. In 2014 a group was supported to organise a renovation of the building which began in 2018. The renovation was completed in July 2019 thanks to grants and a 30 strong group of volunteers. The mausoleum is open to the public and a key to the crypt can be obtained. Description The mausoleum was to be sealed forever hiding the two angels who guard his tomb. The inside is lit by 48 green glass star-shaped lights in the domed roof. Outside two carved lions guard the entrance. one of the is sleeping and the other is awake. The building is constructed from ashlar sandstone. References
County Buildings, Peebles

County Hall is a municipal structure in Rosetta Road in Peebles, Scotland. The building, which was the meeting place of Peeblesshire County Council, is a Category B listed building. History The building has its origins in the Peebles Combination Poorhouse which was designed by William Lambie Moffat and completed in 1856. It was described at the time as a square ornamental building. The poorhouse served as military hospital for service personnel who had been wounded on the Western Front during the First World War and was then acquired by the Peeblesshire County Education Authority in 1921. Following the implementation of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889, which established county councils in every county, the new county leaders needed to identify offices for Peeblesshire County Council. The county council initially met at the courthouse in the High Street, which had been built between 1844 and 1848. As the responsibilities of the council increased, it became necessary to find dedicated facilities and so the council leaders decided to remodel the old poorhouse at Rosetta Road. The remodelled structure was designed by Peddie and Todd in the Baroque style, built in ashlar stone with a harled finish and was completed in 1935. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with seven bays facing onto Rosetta Road with the end bays projected forward as single story pavilions; the central section of five bays featured a central doorway with an architrave flanked by brackets supporting a large cornice. The central section was fenestrated with single sash windows with architraves while the end pavilions were fenestrated by three-light sash windows. At roof level, there was a large octagonal cupola on a balustraded base with an ogee-shaped dome. Internally, the principal room was a wooden panelled council chamber. Following the implementation of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, the county council was abolished and the building became the offices and meeting place of Tweeddale District Council. In 1996, Scottish Borders Council became the unitary authority for the area and the building became the local area office for the enlarged council as well as the local police headquarters.

Fulton Tower

Fulton Tower is a ruined 16th century tower house, about 4.5 miles (7.2 km) south west of Jedburgh, Scottish Borders, Scotland, and about 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Bedrule, east of the Rule Water. Alternatively the castle may be called Rule Water or Fulton Farm. History The castle belonged to the Homes. Margaret Hume of Cowdenknowes was life-rented in the lands of Fulton in 1570, before her marriage to William Turnbull, son and heir of Thomas Turnbull of Bedrule. The lands then passed to the Turnbulls. The castle was burnt during the war now known as the Rough Wooing. The English commander Lord Hertford reported that on 16 September 1545, "I sent forth a good band to the number of 1500 light horsemen in the leading of me [and] Sir Robert Bowes, which from 5 a.m. till 3 p.m., forayed along the waters of Tyvyote and Rowle, 6 or 7 miles beyond Jedburgh, and burnt 14 or 15 towns and a great quantity of all kinds of corn". A list of twelve places on the Rule Water burnt during the raid comprises "Rowle, Spittel, Bedrowle (Bedrule Castle), Rowlewood, The Wolles, Crossebewghe, Donnerles, Fotton (Fulton), West Leas, Two walk mylnes (two fulling mills), Troonyhill, Dupligis". Structure Fulton Tower is an L-plan castle The tower is oblong but has a circular stair-tower projecting from the east angle. It measures 22.75 feet (6.93 m) from north west to south east by 30.5 feet (9.3 m) from north east to south west. The two surviving storeys, which are incomplete, are not vaulted. The south east wall has been demolished, as has most of the stair-tower. The other walls, built of roughly coursed harled rubble, remain to an average height of 18 feet (5.5 m).

ГЕС Клуні

ГЕС Клуні – гідроелектростанція у Шотландії. Входить до складу каскаду на річці Таммел (ліва притока Тей, яка впадає в затоку Північного моря Ферт-оф-Тей біля Данді), що дренує центральну частину Грампіанських гір. Знаходиться між ГЕС Таммел Брідж (вище по течії) та ГЕС Пітлохрі. Споруджена в кінці 1940-х років станція отримує ресурс із озера Loch Tummel. Рівень останнього підняли на 5 метрів за допомогою гравітаційної греблі висотою 19,5 метрів, зведеної у трьох кілометрах вниз по течії від природної берегової лінії водойми. Гребля обладнана двома водопропускними шлюзами та рибоходом, який забезпечує міграцію сьомги. До озера окрім природного стоку надходить вода, відпрацьована на дериваційній ГЕС Errochty, яка використовує ресурс кількох річок у північній частині сточища Tummel. Від Loch Tummel вода подається до машинного залу через водовід, що переходить у тунель довжиною понад 3 км з діаметром 6,9 метра, при спорудженні якого здійснили виїмку 400 тис м3 скельного матеріалу. Тунель в свою чергу переходить у три напірні водоводи до машинного залу, спорудженого біля впадіння у Tummel її великої лівої притоки Garry. Зал оснащений трьома турбінами типу Френсіс потужністю по 20,4 МВт, які при напорі у 53 метри забезпечують річну виробітку електроенергії на рівні 186 млн кВт-год. Відпрацьована вода потрапляє у водосховище Loch Faskally, створене греблею останнього ступеню каскаду ГЕС Pitlochry. Певний час станція Clunie виконувала функцію диспетчерського центру для всього каскаду на Tummel. Примітки
