Carbisdale Castle

Zámek Carbisdale (anglicky Carbisdale Castle, gaelsky Caisteal Chàrbasdail) stojí severně od obce Culrain na návrší nad pravým břehem řeky Kyle of Sutherland v severovýchodní oblasti Skotské vysočiny. Administrativně je toto území součástí historického hrabství Ross-shire ve správní oblasti Highland, jejímž střediskem je město Inverness. Zámek je pro svou stavební a historickou hodnotu zapsán na seznamu tzv. Listed building (v doslovném překladu "budova na seznamu") Spojeného království kategorie B. Historie Zámek byl postaven mezi roky 1906 až 1917 pro Mary Caroline, vévodkyni ze Sutherlandu, častěji známou pod poněkud posměšnou přezdívkou jako "vévodkyně Blairová". Budoucí vévodkyně se narodila jako Mary Caroline Mitchellová, dcera reverenda Richarda Mitchella z Oxfordu. Provdala se za Arthura Blaira, kapitána highlandské pěchoty, a ovdověla v roce 1883, když byl kapitán Blair nešťastnou náhodou zastřelen během lovu u Pitlochry. V roce 1889 se Mary Caroline Blairová provdala za George Granville Williama Sutherlanda Levenson-Gowera, 3. vévodu ze Sutherlandu, což vévodova rodina nelibě nesla. Vévoda zemřel po třech letech manželství v roce 1892 a následoval soudní proces o dědictví mezi vévodovým synem a ovdovělou vévodkyní. Nakonec mezi stranami sporu došlo k dohodě o vyrovnání. Mimo jiné bylo dohodnuto, že rodina Sutherlandů nechá pro vdovu postavit nové sídlo, ovšem s podmínkou, že zámek nebude stát na území hrabství Sutherland. Zámek byl nakonec postaven při severní hranici hrabství Ross-shire u řeky, která tvoří přirozenou hranici mezi oběma hrabstvími. Potřetí se vévodkyně provdala za poslance britského parlamentu Alberta Kaye Rollita. V roce 1933 zámek koupil bohatý skotsko-norský obchodník Theodore Salvesen s rodinnou tradicí v diplomatických a vojenských službách. Po okupaci Norska německou armádou poskytl plukovník Salvesen na zámku Carbisdale útočiště norskému králi Haakonovi VII. a korunnímu princi Olafovi (pozdější norský král Olaf V.). Dne 22. června 1941 se na zámku uskutečnila tzv. "Carbisdaleská konference", týkající se některých otázek uspořádání v Evropě po skončení druhé světové války. Na této konferenci bylo dohodnuto, že pokud sovětská vojska vstoupí během bojů s německými silami na území Norska, po skončení války se z tohoto území opět stáhnou. Harald Salvesen, který se ujal správy majetku po smrti svého otce Theodora Salvesena, daroval v roce 1945 zámek skotské asociaci hostelů (Scottish Youth Hostels Association – SYHA). Hostel byl na zámku otevřen již 2. června 1945 a jako turistická ubytovna sloužil veřejnosti až do roku 2011, kdy byl uzavřen kvůli rekonstrukci. SYHA investovala do oprav zhruba dva milióny liber, přesto se v roce 2014 rozhodla zámek prodat. Za sochy a obrazy z 19. století získala SYHA na londýnské aukci v roce 2015 zhruba jeden milión liber. V září roku 2016 nemovitost koupila společnost FCFM Group Ltd s cílem přebudovat zámek na luxusní soukromou rezidenci.

Castello di Carbisdale

Il castello di Carbisdale (inglese: Carbisdale Castle) è uno storico edificio in stile baronale scozzese situato nei pressi del villaggio scozzese di Adgay, tra le contee storiche del Sutherland e del Ross-shire (Highland, Scozia settentrionale), e realizzato tra il 1906 (o 1905) e il 1917. È considerato il castello meno antico della Scozia. In origine di proprietà dei duchi di Sutherland, è noto per essere il castello meno antico della Scozia. Il castello è classificato come edificio di categoria B. Storia Il castello di Carbisdale venne realizzato a partire dal 1906 (o 1905) per Lady Mary Caroline Blair, seconda moglie del defunto George Sutherland-Leveson-Gower, III duca di Sutherland (1828-1892), ovvero colei che ispirò, tra l'altro, A Woman of No Importance di Oscar Wilde. La Blair affidò il progetto probabilmente all'architetto John Robertson e portò a Carbisdale alcuni mobili di sua proprietà. La duchessa Mary Caroline Blair morì nel 1912, cinque anni prima che la costruzione del castello venisse portata a termine. La morte della duchessa ebbe come conseguenza una disputa sull'eredità del castello, dato che la Blair aveva distrutto numerosi documenti importanti. Nel 1933 il castello venne ceduto al Colonnello Theodor Salvesen, un ricco uomo d'affari di origine norvegese che operava nel campo delle spedizioni. Durante la seconda guerra mondiale, Salvesen ospitò nel castello di Carbisdale re Håkon VII di Norvegia e suo figlio Olav, in fuga dalla Norvegia occupata dalle truppe naziste. Alla morte Theodor Salvesen, avvenuta nel 1945, l'edificio venne ereditato dal figlio di quest'ultimo, il capitano Harold Salvesen. Harold Salvesen donò però il castello alla Youth Hostels Association e l'edificio venne così adibito a ostello per la gioventù per 71 anni, ovvero fino al 2016, anno in cui il castello di Carbisdale venne acquisito dalla finanziaria londinese Faro Captital. Architettura Il castello si erge su un promontorio che si affaccia sulla sponda meridionale del Kyle of Sutherland. L'edificio si compone di tre piani e di un attico. Peculiarità del castello di Carbisdale è quella di avere 365 finestre, che simboleggiano i giorni dell'anno. L'edificio ospita 40 stanze. All'interno del castello, segnatamente nella Lower Gallery, si trova poi una collezione di sculture italiane.

Birnam Arts

Birnam Arts is a multipurpose arts centre in Birnam, Perthshire, central Scotland. It is also known as the Birnam Arts and Conference Centre, and was originally named the Birnam Institute. It is a not for profit organisation owned by the community. History The Birnam Arts and Conference Centre was developed from 1880, to the plans of John Kinnaird, the village stationmaster, to build a facility for the community. This was the original Birnam Institute which was built and was opened on 29 September 1883. It comprised a library, reading room, hall, a refreshment and games room, and accommodation for the caretaker. In 1890, public baths were added to the facilities that the Institute offered. During both World Wars, the Institute was used by the military for accommodation and entertainment purposes. By the 1990s the Institute no longer met the regulations for a public building, so a plan to redevelop it was created. A major fundraising exercise allowed the building to be renovated and extended. The work was completed in June 2001.

Birse Castle

Birse Castle is located in the Forest of Birse, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Originally a square tower house, it was rebuilt in the first decade of the 20th century into an L-plan structure. The 1930 addition of a new wing gave it a Z-plan. The building was designated a category B listed building in 1971. History The Forest of Birse was originally a royal hunting forest that fell into the hands of the Bishop of Aberdeen. Sir William Gordon of Cluny feued the forest from the bishop in 1585 and built the tower house as a hunting lodge or summer retreat. Sir William Douglas of Glenbervie acquired the house in 1636 and it passed to Charles Gordon, 1st Earl of Aboyne, in 1666. By 1887 it was in ruins with only the north and east walls still standing. It was restored and enlarged with a new wing by George Bennett Mitchell for J. R. Heaven in 1905–1911. Another wing was added by Dr. William Kelly for Annie Pearson, Viscountess Cowdray in 1930. The property is owned by Viscount Cowdry. Structure The original tower house was a square, rubble-built, three storeys with attic tower house with turrets and a circular tower corbelled to square at the south-east corner. Mitchell added north and west wings to give it a L-shaped plan and added one-storey angle turrets on the corners. Kelly's 1930 addition added the east wing at the north end of the north wing to create the Z-plan. Very sympathetic to Mitchell's work, Kelly's angle turrets were slightly larger to add windows at the third-storey level and he added a one-storey northern extension and entrance. Above the main ground-floor entrance in the tower is a heraldic panel bearing a thistle, rose and crown. It is inscribed 19 AC 30 for the date and the owner's initials. References
Castelo Birse

O Castelo de Birse (em inglês: Birse Castle) encontra-se situado na Floresta de Birse, em Aberdeenshire, Escócia. Originalmente uma torre residencial quadrangular, foi reconstruído na primeira década do século XX, adquirindo uma configuração em planta em L. A adição de uma nova ala, em 1930, conferiu-lhe uma planta em Z. O edifício foi classificado como imóvel de categoria B em 1971. História A Floresta de Birse foi originalmente uma floresta de caça real que passou para a posse do Bispo de Aberdeen. Sir William Gordon de Cluny aforou a floresta ao bispo em 1585 e construiu a torre residencial como pavilhão de caça ou retiro de verão. Sir William Douglas de Glenbervie adquiriu a propriedade em 1636, passando esta, em 1666, a Charles Gordon, 1.º Conde de Aboyne. Em 1887, encontrava-se em ruínas, subsistindo apenas as paredes norte e leste. Foi restaurado e ampliado com uma nova ala por George Bennett Mitchell para J. R. Heaven entre 1905 e 1911. Uma outra ala foi adicionada por Dr. William Kelly para Annie Pearson, Viscondessa Cowdray em 1930. A propriedade pertence ao Visconde Cowdray. Estrutura A torre residencial original era quadrangular, construída em alvenaria de pedra, com três andares e sótão, dotada de torres e de uma torre circular sustentada por consolos que a transformavam em quadrada no canto sudeste. Mitchell acrescentou alas a norte e a oeste, conferindo ao conjunto uma planta em L, bem como torres angulares de um piso nos cantos. A intervenção de Kelly, em 1930, acrescentou a ala oriental no extremo norte da ala norte, formando assim a planta em Z. Adequada ao estilo de Mitchell, a solução de Kelly incluía torres angulares ligeiramente maiores para permitir janelas ao nível do terceiro piso, bem como uma extensão setentrional de um piso e um novo acesso. Sobre a entrada principal, ao nível do rés-do-chão da torre, encontra-se um painel heráldico com um cardo, uma rosa e uma coroa, inscrito com “19 AC 30”, indicando o ano e as iniciais do proprietário.

Bishop's House, Iona

Bishop's House is a retreat house for the Scottish Episcopal Church, located on the island of Iona, off the west coast of Scotland. History It was built in 1894, when Iona Abbey was still in ruins, to provide a place for Scottish Episcopalians on the island. It was originally called Saint Columba's House, after the chapel at its centre dedicated to Saint Columba. It was established under Bishop Alexander Chinnery-Haldane, Bishop of Argyll and The Isles from 1883 to 1906, a year after the tenancy was granted by the 9th Duke of Argyll, as a place of "prayer, study, contemplation and Eucharist". Despite protests from the local established church minister the house continued to be supported by the Duke and the Bishop. Thanks to Bishop Chinnery-Haldane's close involvement with the project, the house became known as the Bishop's House, a title which has stuck. The House was occupied by members of the Society of Saint John the Evangelist from 1896-1906. Despite the minister's fears they were seeking proselytes, they seem to have been more interested in avoiding the roof leaking and finding space for contemplation. Known locally as "Cowley Fathers", they ran services and held tea parties for the islanders. It has since been run as a retreat house for the Scottish Episcopal Church, most recently by their subsidiary group Island Retreats Ltd. The Chapel is open to the public and holds two services daily from March to October, and weekly in the winter. References MacArthur, E. Mairi (1997). Iona. Colin Baxter Island Guides.

Bishop's Palace (Kirkwall)

Bishop's Palace er en borgruin fra 1100-tallet, der blev opført samtidig med og ved siden af St Magnus Cathedral i centrum af Kirkwall på Orkneyøerne, Skotland. Den husede katedralens første biskop, Vilhelm den gamle fra Den katolske kirke i Norge, der fik sin autoritet fra ærkebispen i Nidaros (Trondheim). Oprindeligt har det sandsynligvis været en typisk norsk kongelig bolig med en stor rektangulær hal oven på et lagerum og et beboelsestårn med biskoppens private bolig. Kong Håkon 4. Håkonsson overvintrede her efter slaget ved Largs og døde her i 1263, hvilket markerede enden på nordboernes herredømme over de Ydre Hebrider. Paladset forfaldt og var i 1320 en ruin. Fra oktober 2023 har ruinen været lukket i forbindelse med omfattende renoveringer sammen med den nærliggende Earl's Palace.

Bishop’s Palace (Kirkwall)

Bishop’s Palace ist eine Burgruine und ehemalige Bischofsresidenz in der schottischen Stadt Kirkwall auf der Orkneyinsel Mainland. Die Anlage ist als Scheduled Monument klassifiziert. Der Bishop’s Palace liegt im Stadtzentrum von Kirkwall. Geschichte Die Burg wurde gleichzeitig mit der gegenüberliegenden St.-Magnus-Kathedrale als Residenz der Bischöfe von Orkney unter Bischof Wilhelm dem Alten im 12. Jahrhundert erbaut. Nach der Niederlage in der Schlacht von Largs im Jahre 1263 verweilte der norwegische König Håkon IV. in der Burg und verstarb dort. Anscheinend wurde Bishop’s Palace in den folgenden Jahrzehnten allenfalls sporadisch genutzt und das Bauwerk verfiel bis 1320 in einen ruinösen Zustand. 1526 gelangte die Ruine kurzzeitig in den Besitz von William Sinclair, 4. Lord Sinclair. König Jakob V. stationierte 1540 Truppen sowohl in Kirkwall Castle als auch in Bishop’s Palace. Bischof Robert Reid nahm sich der Burg noch im 16. Jahrhundert an. Er ließ die erhaltene Substanz restaurieren, aufstocken und fügte Anbauten hinzu. Ein guter Teil des heute erhaltenen Bauwerks stammt aus dieser Bauphase. Ab 1568 herrschte Robert Stewart, 1. Earl of Orkney über die Inseln und verfügte auch über Bishop’s Palace. Sein Sohn Patrick Stewart, 2. Earl of Orkney errichtete mit dem Earl’s Palace seine Residenz in Nachbarschaft des Bishop’s Palace und plante diesen in das Bauwerk zu integrieren. Auf Grund ungenügender finanzieller Mittel konnte dies nicht mehr in die Tat umgesetzt werden. Patrick Stewart gilt als tyrannischer, im Volk äußerst unbeliebter Herrscher. Nach seiner Anklage wegen Hochverrats im Jahre 1614 versuchte Patricks Bruder Robert eine Rebellion anzuzetteln, in deren Verlauf die Burg belagert wurde. Ob die Beschädigungen des Bauwerks aus dieser Belagerung resultieren, ist nicht eindeutig geklärt. Heute ist der Bishop’s Palace nur noch als Ruine erhalten. Das Gelände wird von Historic Environment Scotland verwaltet.

Bishop's Palace, Kirkwall

The Bishop's Palace, Kirkwall is a 12th-century palace built at the same time as the adjacent St Magnus Cathedral in the centre of Kirkwall, Orkney, Scotland. It housed the cathedral's first bishop, William the Old of the Norwegian Catholic Church who took his authority from the Archbishop of Nidaros (Trondheim). The ruined structure now looks like a small castle. History Originally, it is thought to have been like a typical Royal Norwegian palace, with a large rectangular hall above store rooms and a tower house as the Bishop's private residence. King Haakon IV of Norway, overwintering after the Battle of Largs, died here in 1263, marking the end of Norse rule over the Outer Hebrides. The neglected palace had fallen into ruins by 1320. In 1468, Orkney and Shetland were pledged by Christian I of Denmark and Norway for the payment of the dowry of his daughter Margaret, betrothed to James III of Scotland, and as the money has never since been paid, their connection with the crown of Scotland has been perpetual. In 1526, the palace came briefly into the possession of William, Lord Sinclair, before he was ordered to return it to the Bishop of Orkney. When King James V of Scotland visited Kirkwall in 1540, he garrisoned his troops in the palace and in Kirkwall Castle. Soon afterwards, extensive restoration was begun by Bishop Robert Reid, the last of Orkney's medieval bishops, who also founded the University of Edinburgh. Reid added a round tower, the Moosie Toor. Mary I of England sent a fleet to Scotland in 1557, commanded by William Woodhouse and John Clere. Clere's troops attacked the cathedral on 12 August. The force was overpowered on the next day while attempting to capture the Bishop's Palace. Many of the retreating English, including Clere, drowned trying to reach their ships. Ownership passed to Robert Stewart, 1st Earl of Orkney, in 1568. His 1593 will mentions eight pieces of old tapestry which probably furnished the palace. His son, Patrick Stewart, 2nd Earl of Orkney, planned to incorporate the building into his Earl's Palace, Kirkwall, but debts forced him to return it to Bishop James Law. Earl Patrick's son Robert seized both palaces in 1614, and a siege followed, though it is not known if this caused damage to the structures, both of which are now ruins. Today The palace is open to the public. It is administered by Historic Environment Scotland as a scheduled monument. The palace and the nearby Earl's Palace were closed to the public from October 2023 through March 2024, during which time high level masonry inspections were being carried out as part of the building's conservation.

The Bishop's Palace

De resten van The Bishop's Palace, oftewel het Bisschoppelijk Paleis van de Orkney-eilanden, staan in Kirkwall, op Mainland (Orkney-eilanden). Vlakbij liggen de St. Magnus Cathedral en The Earl's Palace. Geschiedenis In 1050 werd in Birsay de eerste kathedraal gebouwd op de Orkney-eilanden. In deze kathedraal werd in 1117 Sint-Magnus begraven. In 1137 bouwde Sint Rognvald in Kirkwall de St. Magnus Cathedral, waarna het lichaam van Sint Magnus werd overgebracht naar deze nieuwe kathedraal. De verplaatsing van de bisschoppelijke zetel van Birsay naar Kirkwall, leidde tot de bouw van een bisschoppelijk paleis in Kirkwall. Het oudste gedeelte van The Bishop's Palace stamt dan ook uit de twaalfde eeuw. William the Old was destijds de bisschop. In 1290 stierf Margaretha, jonkvrouw van Noorwegen, bij haar korte verblijf op de Orkney-eilanden. Waarschijnlijk zal ze haar tijd hebben doorgebracht in dit paleis. In 1320 was het paleis alweer in onbruik geraakt en raakte in verval. In 1526 kwam het paleis in handen van William, Lord Sinclair, die het weer teruggaf aan de bisschop. Jacobus V van Schotland plaatste bij zijn komst naar de Orkney-eilanden in 1540, troepen in het paleis. Bisschop Reid maakte in 1550 verdere uitbreidingen en aanpassingen. In 1568 kwam het paleis in handen van Robert Stewart (Orkney). Zijn zoon Patrick Stewart (Orkney) bouwde The Earl's Palace en maakte tegelijk aanpassingen aan het naastgelegen Bishop's Palace. In 1614 was er een opstand op de Orkney-eilanden. Sindsdien raakt het paleis opnieuw in verval. Haakon IV In het paleis overleed Haakon IV van Noorwegen in de nacht van 15 op 16 december 1263. Dit was niet lange tijd na zijn nederlaag tegen Alexander III van Schotland, in de Slag bij Largs. Zijn overlijden wordt beschreven in Haakon Håkonsson saga. Hij werd tijdelijk begraven in de St. Magnus Cathedral, maar in het voorjaar van 1264 werd zijn lichaam overgebracht naar Bergen. Bouw Het gedeelte van het paleis dat bewaard is gebleven bestaat uit een enkele rechthoekige vleugel van twee verdiepingen. Op de noordwestelijke hoek staat een grote ronde toren. Deze toren stamt uit de verbouwing van 1550, die gebeurde door Bisschop Reid en wordt dan ook de "Bishop Reid's Tower" genoemd. Er staat een wit standbeeld in een nis in de wand van de toren, die vermoedelijk Sint Rognvald voorstelt. Uit oude beschrijvingen (waaronder de beschrijving van het overlijden van Haakon IV), blijkt dat er ook nog twee vierkante torens en een losse kapel hebben bestaan.
