Mauchline Castle

Mauchline Castle, also known as Abbot Hunter's Tower, is a rectangular tower house dating from the fifteenth century, in Mauchline, East Ayrshire, Scotland. The tower once formed part of a group of monastic buildings associated with Melrose Abbey, and today is a category A listed building. History Before 1177 the monks of Melrose Abbey held lands in Ayrshire, approximately represented by the extent of Mauchline parish. The castle was constructed in about 1450 as part of a grange, a farming estate belonging to a monastery. The arms of Abbot Andrew Hunter (c.1444-71) on a boss in the vaulting of the first-floor hall give the earliest dating of the Castle. Huw Campbell of Loudoun was appointed Bailie of Barony in 1521, gaining the temporal lordship in 1606. The square-headed windows may have been inserted at this time. During the following two centuries, houses were built next to the castle, and in the 18th century Gavin Hamilton, lawyer and friend of Robert Burns, lived here as a tenant of Lord Loudoun Burns is said to have written the parody sermon The Calf, and to have married Jean Armour, in the castle. Although repaired in the 19th century, it was described as being "in a state of decay" in 1980. Coal and the Commendator James V of Scotland granted Melrose Abbey and its lands to his son, James Stewart, Commendator of Kelso and Melrose (died 1557). William Hamilton of Sanquhar assisted in managing the estate and had coal mines on Melrose lands near Mauchline, and when James Stewart stayed at Mauchline Castle (a Melrose property) the coal was reserved to him. Structure The tower is built of red ashlar, and measures 10 by 9 metres (33 by 30 ft), with the walls being 5 feet (1.5 m) thick. The entrance is to the south, at ground level, with a statue niche above and a turnpike stair to its left. There are four main storeys, and an attic with crowstep gables. The hall, on the first floor, is rib-vaulted in two bays, and has stone seats in the windows. It is over a vaulted basement comprising two poorly lit chambers. There is an unusual double garderobe chute at the north gable. References

Monteviot House

Monteviot House is the early 18th century home of the Marquess of Lothian, the politician better known as Michael Ancram. It is located on the River Teviot near Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland. History The house which sits within 30 acres (12 ha) of land and it was built in about 1740. The lyricist Jean Elliot who wrote words to the lament Flowers of the Forest, died at Monteviot, her brother's house, on 29 March 1805. Her brother Admiral John Eliot died here in 1808 after a distinguished career as Governor of Newfoundland and rose to be an Admiral of the White. He left his estates to Gilbert Elliot, first earl of Minto. Further building work took place in 1830 just before John Kerr, 7th Marquess of Lothian married Lady Cecil Chetwynd Chetwynd-Talbot. The couple were based at Newbattle Abbey but Cecil Kerr preferred Monteviot. She had moved to Monteviot in 1840 in order to attend the Episcopalian church in Kelso. When she commissioned her first church, St John's, it was in nearby Jedburgh. In 1950 the 12th Marquess and his wife Tony moved from Melbourne Hall to the Scottish Borders in 1950 where they oversaw the restoration of Monteviot House. They did not move into the house until 1962. In the late 20th century the 12th Marquess repurchased and restored the old family seat of Ferniehirst Castle. They moved into the castle in 1986. The Lothians also used to own two grander country houses, Blickling Hall, which now belongs to the National Trust, and Newbattle Abbey, which is now the site of an adult education college.

Muckle Water

Muckle Water is a long, narrow fresh water loch on Ward Hill on Rousay, Orkney, Scotland. It is the biggest loch on the island and is popular for fishing. It can be reached by a track from the roadside. The Suso Burn on the north eastern shore drains the loch into the Sound of Rousay. A rare hybrid pondweed (Potamogeton sp.) is found in the loch as a result of its unique nutrient levels. The loch was surveyed in 1906 by James Murray and later charted as part of The Bathymetrical Survey of Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland 1897–1909. The Nuggle In Orkney folklore it is said that Muckle Water is haunted by a Nuggle, a magical creature usually in the form of horse similar to the Celtic kelpie. The Nuggle waits at the loch side until someone climbs on its back then it plunges into the water drowning its rider. It was said that only Finmen could ride the Nuggle. References

Music Hall (Aberdeen)

Die Music Hall ist ein Konzerthaus in der schottischen Stadt Aberdeen. 1967 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Geschichte Im Rahmen des jährlichen Turniers des Royal Aberdeen Golf Clubs im Jahre 1818 wurde der Vorschlag zum Bau einer öffentlichen Versammlungshalle zur Diskussion gestellt. Schnell waren Zusagen zur Bereitstellung von 7000 £ eingegangen. Zu den Spendern zählten unter anderem Alexander Gordon, 4. Duke of Gordon und der Parlamentsabgeordnete George Skene of Skene. In einer öffentlichen Ausschreibung setzte sich der Entwurf des Aberdeener Architekten Archibald Simpson, was mit einem Preisgeld in Höhe von 50 Guinee honoriert wurde. Im April 1820 legte James Duff, 4. Earl Fife den Grundstein. Die Baukosten des 1822 fertiggestellten Gebäudes beliefen sich auf 11.500 £. Infolge finanzieller Schwierigkeiten wurde das Gebäude 1858 an die neugegründete Aberdeen Music Hall Company veräußert. An das bestehende Gebäude wurde die Konzerthalle angesetzt. Für den Entwurf zeichnet der Aberdeener Architekt und spätere Lord Provost Aberdeens James Matthews verantwortlich. Am 14. November 1859 besuchte Prinzgemahl Albert das Haus. 1896 fand die erste cinematographische Vorstellung Aberdeens in der Music Hall statt. Nach dem finanziellen Scheitern der Betreibergesellschaft wurde das Konzerthaus 1928 zu einem Betrag von 34.000 £ an die Stadt Aberdeen verkauft. In den 1960er Jahren bezeichnete der Dirigent John Barbirolli den Saal als aus akustischer Sicht besten Saal seiner Laufbahn. Nachdem die Music Hall seit dieser Zeit vom Abriss bedroht war, wurde 1983 ihre Renovierung beschlossen, zu welcher 2,5 Mio. £ aufgewandt wurden. Am 12. Mai 1986 fand die Wiedereröffnung statt. Beschreibung Die Music Hall nimmt eine prominente Position an der als Ausfallstraße konzipierten Union Street im Stadtzentrum Aberdeens ein. Der graue Granitbau ist klassizistisch im Greek Revival ausgestaltet. An der Hauptfassade des eingeschossigen Gebäudes tritt ein sechssäuliger ionischer Portikus mit schmucklosem Dreiecksgiebel hervor. Entlang der Fassaden sind längliche Sprossenfenster eingesetzt. Einzig die Fassade des zweigeschossigen rückwärtigen Baukörpers am Golden Square ist mit segmentbogigen Fenstern ausgeführt. Der längliche Konzertsaal ist mit einer Orgel hinter der Bühne ausgestattet. Seine umlaufende Galerie ruht auf ornamentierten gusseisernen Säulen. Hugh Adam Crawford schuf 1949 die Gemälde oberhalb des Bühnenraums. Das Vestibül ist ebenso wie Nebenräume klassizistisch mit ionischen Säulen ausgestaltet. Einzig der Round Room ist mit korinthischen Säulen ausgeführt.

Music Hall, Aberdeen

The Music Hall is a concert hall in Aberdeen, Scotland, formerly the city's Assembly Rooms, located on Union Street in the city centre. History The venue was designed in 1820 by Archibald Simpson, a notable Aberdeen architect, and cost £11,500 when it was originally constructed in 1822. It was opened to the public as a concert hall in 1859. On 28 September 1896, the building hosted the first cinema screening in Aberdeen, which featured footage of Highland and serpentine dancing along with scenes of Westminster Bridge, a coronation and a workshop. The building was renovated in the 1980s. It was closed for further extensive renovation in 2016 with a £9 million investment, and reopened in December 2018. Suffragette activism Aberdeen Music Hall was the scene of a suffragette activist incident on 19 December 1907, when protesters disrupted a visit from the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, Henry Asquith. This resulted in a fight in the orchestra pit and the suffragettes being thrown out. It also compromised Caroline Phillips' position as honorary secretary of the Aberdeen branch of the Women's Social and Political Union due to her opposition to this protest – she was ultimately dismissed in 1909. Another incident occurred in 1912 when women hid with 'explosives' which turned out to be toy guns, when then Chancellor of the Exchequer David Lloyd George was due to speak. The three women were arrested and imprisoned. War memorial There is a bronze plaque inside the lobby of the Music Hall, bearing the names of all those from Aberdeen who served in the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939). The memorial was removed during the 2016 refurbishment and as of August 2019 is currently stored at the Aberdeen Trades Council. Events The Music Hall regularly plays host to the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, the annual Aberdeen International Youth Festival, and various pop/rock artists. Some notable artists who have performed at the Music Hall include David Bowie, Emeli Sandé, Led Zeppelin, Bullet for My Valentine, Placebo, Morrissey, Teenage Fanclub, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath. Beluga Lagoon have also played there. References External links Music Hall Official website

Maják Neist Point

Maják Neist Point (anglicky Neist Point Lighthouse) je nejzápadněji položený maják na skotském ostrově Skye, největším z ostrovů v souostroví Vnitřní Hebridy. Stojí na území, které přináleží k malé obci Dunvegan s výstavným sídlem místního klanu MacLeodů a které je jako celý ostrov Skye součástí skotské správní oblasti Highland. Od roku 1971 je maják na seznamu Listed building v kategorii B. Geografie Maják se nachází na břehu Hebridského moře, na útesech na konci malého výběžku pevniny, zvaného Neist Point. Mys Neist Point směřuje do průlivu The Little Minch (též North Minch), který odděluje Vnitřní Hebridy od ostrovů Uist, Harris a poloostrova Lewis ve Vnějších Hebridách. Pobřežní útesy v okolí dosahují nad hladinou moře výšky od několika desítek metrů až přes 100 metrů – nejvyšším z nich je An t-Aigeach (122 m n. m.), vzdálený od majáku přibližně 400 metrů směrem na sever. Historie Neist Point Lighthouse je jedním z 26 majáků, které během své kariéry vybudoval skotský inženýr David Alan Stevenson (1854 – 1938). Investorem stavby byl Hugh MacDonald z Obanu. Náklady na stavbu majáku a příslušného zázemí, včetně bytu pro strážce majáku, činily 4 350 liber. Optická soustava a mechanická část signalizačního zařízeni stála dohromady dalších 1 518 liber. Maják byl uveden do provozu 1. listopadu 1909; nautofon, určený pro signalizaci v mlze, byl dokončen 25. června 1910. Od roku 1990 je maják plně automatizován. Maják Neist Point provozuje Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB), v jehož správě jsou všechny majáky ve Skotsku a na ostrově Man. Northern Lighthouse Board, založený v roce 1786 pod názvem Commissioners of Northern Light Houses, je v rámci General Lighthouse Authority (GLA) jedním ze tří britských územních úřadu spravujících majáky. Vedlejší budovy byly prodány do soukromých rukou, maják není přístupný. Popis Areál majáku Neist Point, zahrnuje 19 metrů vysokou třípatrovou věž s ochozem a lucernou spojenou s přízemním domkem. Maják má bílou barvu s okrovým vodorovným pruhem pod ochozem, lucerna je černá. K lucerně vede 42 schodů. Maják, tři přízemní objekty a kamenné ohradní zdi jsou památkově chráněny od roku 1971.

Newliston

Newliston is an 18,146 sq ft (1,685.8 m2) country house near Edinburgh, Scotland. It is located 1 mile (1.6 km) south-west of Kirkliston, and 8 miles (13 km) west of the city centre. The house, designed by Robert Adam in the late 18th century, is a category A listed building. The 18th-century gardens, inspired by the French formal style, are included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland, the listing of nationally significant gardens. Newliston is within the City of Edinburgh council area and the historic county of West Lothian. History Newliston was originally the property of the Dundas family of nearby Dundas Castle. Duncan Dundas, the Lord Lyon King of Arms, acquired the property in the 15th century. His descendant, Elizabeth Dundas, 8th of Newliston, married John Dalrymple, 1st Earl of Stair (1648–1707). Their son John Dalrymple, 2nd Earl of Stair (1679–1747), served as ambassador to the French court at Versailles from 1715 to 1720. Inspired by the formal style of the gardens of Versailles, Lord Stair set about planning a grand garden for Newliston. The architect William Adam drew up plans for a new mansion, as well as a layout for the gardens, in 1723–1725. William Adam's design for the house was never built, although the stables are probably his work. Much of the detail of the garden design, including canals, cascades and avenues, may have been the work of Lord Stair himself. Work on the gardens continued until 1744, employing up to 200 workmen. Lord Stair was an officer in the British Army, rising to the rank of Field Marshal at the Battle of Dettingen (1743) and opposing the Jacobites during the Rising of 1745. Lord Stair's loyalty has led to suggestions that the 'Union Jack' patterned layout of "Hercules Wood" within the grounds is a celebration of his part in the victory at Dettingen. In 1747, following Lord Stair's death, Newliston was sold to London merchant Roger Hog. His son, Thomas Hog of Newliston, commissioned Robert Adam, son of William Adam, to design the present house in 1789. The house then became the home of James Maitland Hog, Roger's grandson. The landscape designer William Sawrey Gilpin worked on improvements to the grounds in the 1830s, during which time the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway was built through the south-west corner of the Newliston parks. The East Lodge, on the B800 road, was built in 1848, probably to the designs of David Bryce. The house remains in the ownership of Roger Hog's descendants, and is open to the public during the summer. A ride-on miniature railway runs through the grounds.
