Stewart Park, Aberdeen

Stewart Park is located in Aberdeen, Scotland. It is a 5-acre (20,000 m2) site owned by Aberdeen City Council. The land was originally bought by the council in 1891, when Woodside was incorporated into Aberdeen, using £500 bequeathed by Mrs. Jane Taylor, the widow of Mr. John Taylor, a merchant in the city "for a playground for the children of Woodside". The park was named after a former Lord Provost of the city, Sir David Stewart. The park contains monumental whale jaw bones arches presented to the park in 1903 by the Captain of the Arctic whaler Benbow. There is an intricate fountain designed as a replica of an Italian lavabo which was sculptured by Arthur Taylor of Jute Street, Aberdeen and erected in 1903 and was dedicated to Mrs. Jane Taylor whose bequest had funded the purchase of the land for the park. There are nearby all weather tennis courts and bordered-off cricket and football pitches. The park is popular with local dog walkers and there is a playground for children. Directly opposite the park are the "Woodies", an old granite quarry that is now a wooded area of land that is kept relatively wild.

Stewartry Museum

The Stewartry Museum is a local museum in Kirkcudbright, Scotland, which covers the history of this part of Galloway. History The museum was originally founded in 1879 and housed on the top floor of Kirkcudbright Town Hall. The museum moved to its current building designed by architect Robert Wallace, in 1893 due to the increasing size of the museum collection. The museum was maintained by the Stewartry Museum Association until 1990 when control of both the museum and the building passed to Stewartry District Council. After the Scottish councils were reorganised in 1996, management of the museum was passed to Dumfries and Galloway Council. Collection Collections chiefly relate to the human and natural history of the Stewartry, also known as Kirkcudbrightshire. The museum, and the companion art venue Kirkcudbright Galleries, house two nationally Recognised Collections of art and archaeology. The museum houses one of the oldest surviving sports trophies in the United Kingdom called the Siller Cup. Objects illustrative of the folklore, traditional crafts, and agricultural life of the area are also displayed here. Archaeological collections include significant Mesolithic and Neolithic holdings of barbed arrow heads, axe heads and other material from the Early Medieval and later periods - including Viking weaponry. The Museum is a recipient of finds from the Treasure Trove scheme. The Stewartry also houses a significant archive relating to local, family, civic, and social history, including early modern Borough Records with references to numerous witch-trials and attendant incarcerations in Kirkcudbright Tolbooth. The numerous bygones and natural history specimens from local fresh and saltwater habits are a well loved aspect of the museum. In 2015 the museum put a lens from Little Ross lighthouse on display for the first time. It was made in Paris by the French company, Barbier, Benard, et Turenne in 1896 and was used by the lighthouse until 1960. It was donated to the museum by the Northern Lighthouse Board in 2004. The museum also has casts made from rock art carvings at High Banks Farm which has several groups of cup and ring marks. The collection also has slabs with cup and ring marks from Blackmyre and Laggan. References
Stichill Kirk

Stichill Kirk is an ancient church situated in the village of Stichill in the old county of Roxburghshire, now part of the Scottish Borders Council in Scotland. The village lies 2 miles (3.2 km) north of the abbey town of Kelso on the B6643 road and is at grid reference NT713383. History The meaning of the name 'Stichill' is thought to come from the Gaelic signifying a declivity meaning a downward slope, as on a hill. The first mention of the church came in 1124 when Gilleb was described as being the Presbyter of Stichil. In the early years, the church of Stichil was in the patronage of the Earls of Dunbar but later in the century, the monks of Kelso obtained both the parish and the church. That situation did not change until the Scottish Reformation in the 1560s. and some of the early clerics were: Gilleb. Presbyter–1124 W. de Stichel–1153 Goze, Goscelno, Sacerdos of Stichill–1158 Post Reformation The first known minister after the Reformation was Rev. William Hood, who was the incumbent from 1567 until 1577. In 1640 the parishes of Stichill and Hume were united and the Parochial records have been kept since that time. The present parish church was built in 1770 before a virtual reconstruction in 1869 followed by major renovation in 1906. A secession church - The Associate Church of Stichill was built in 1773 but became part of The United Free Church of Scotland 1900. Finally, in 1938, that church united with Stichill Parish Church. (The Associate Church was also known as the Cairns Memorial Church) In the 18th. century the Secession (Associate) Church was famous for its annual "Holy Fairs" The old Associate Church, is now a private home. The parish church is now linked with the parishes of Smailhom, Hume, Roxburgh, Ednam and Nenthorn. Notable Minister Reverend George Gunn M.A. who was minister at Stichill from 1878 until 1900, he preached his last sermon on 5 November 1899.

Stonefield Castle

Stonefield Castle, auch Barmore House, ist ein Landhaus in der Nähe des Dorfes Stonefield nördlich von Tarbert auf der Halbinsel Kintyre in der schottischen Council Area Argyll and Bute. Geschichte Laut Geschichtenerzählern ließ Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts der damalige Konstabler von Tarbert Castle aus der Familie MacAlasdair das Haus errichten. Er vernachlässigte darüber seine Pflichten als Konstabler und Tarbert Castle verfiel. Infolge seiner Versäumnisse verlor er seine Stellung an Charles Campbell. 1837 wurde das Haus aus- und umgebaut. Den Umbau planten die Architekten William Henry Playfair und William Notman. Heute ist das Landhaus ein Hotel.

Stonefield Castle

Stonefield Castle is a Scottish baronial manor house near the village of Stonefield, north of Tarbert, Argyll & Bute, Scotland. It was built on the site of an earlier building, known as Barmore, and has been in use as a hotel since 1950. History The original house of Barmore was constructed by the MacAlister family, who held nearby Tarbert Castle as tenants of the Duke of Argyll. They built the new house in the early 18th century, as the castle was deteriorating, though this led to a lawsuit in 1762 brought by the Duke against the MacAlister laird for neglect. Prior to this, Archibald Campbell, Sheriff of Argyll, had purchased the Barmore estate from Archibald MacAlister of Tarback in 1746. The present castle was commissioned by John Campbell (1788-1857), grandson of John Campbell, Lord Stonefield (1720–1801), and designed by Edinburgh architect William Henry Playfair. It was completed in 1837, replacing the earlier Barmore. Playfair designed a number of buildings in the grounds, including bridges and a folly, and may have advised on the layout of the gardens. Campbell planted a number of species of Rhododendron and Magnolia, using seeds recently acquired on botanical expeditions by Archibald Campbell (his cousin) and Joseph Dalton Hooker in 1850. The plant collections were maintained and enhanced by later generations of Campbells, who also had gardens at Achnacloich near Connel. In 1948 the Campbells sold Stonefield, and it opened as a hotel in 1950. The castle is a category B listed building. The grounds of the house are included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes, as an "important example of a 'west coast' woodland estate landscape" of national importance, with an outstanding plant collection.

Stonehaven Open Air Swimming Pool

Der Stonehaven Open Air Swimming Pool ist ein Freibad in Schottland, das 1934 eröffnet wurde. Die Anlage hat ein Schwimmbecken mit der olympischen Länge von 50 Metern und liegt im Queen Elizabeth Park in Stonehaven in Aberdeenshire. Es ist das nördlichste Freibad im Vereinigten Königreich. Seit 2005 ist die Anlage als Denkmal der Kategorie B geschützt. Beschreibung Der Stonehaven Open Air Swimming Pool ist das einzige Freibad im Vereinigten Königreich im Art-déco-Stil mit einem Schwimmbecken mit der olympischen Länge von 50 Metern. Das Schwimmbecken ist beheizt und hat eine Temperatur von 29° Celsius. Am tieferen Ende des Beckens befindet sich eine kleine Wasserrutsche, die wie ein Hai aussieht. Eine weitere Attraktion des Freibades ist das Swoopee, ein aufblasbares Gebilde für Kinder mit Klettermöglichkeiten und Rutschen, das nachmittags an den Wochenenden – und täglich in der Hochsaison (während der Schulferien) – im Becken schwimmt. In der Hochsaison wird zusätzlich ein Mitternachtsschwimmen angeboten. Früher gab es auch einen Sprungturm, der jedoch im Juni 2013 entfernt wurde. Das Freibad ist zwischen Ende Mai und Anfang September geöffnet. Neben dem Freibad befindet sich eine Freizeitanlage mit einem Hallenbad. Geschichte Das Freibad wurde am 4. Juni 1934 eröffnet. 1994 wollte die Kreisverwaltung von Aberdeenshire das Freibad schließen, aber eine örtliche Initiative – die Friends of Stonehaven Open Air Swimming Pool – setzte sich erfolgreich für eine Rettung des Freibads ein. Diese Initiative ist jetzt eine wohltätige Organisation (SCIO, Scottish Charitable Incorporated organisation) und arbeitet mit der Kreisverwaltung zusammen. Die Kreisverwaltung ist nach wie vor Besitzer und betreibt die Anlage, die Friends kümmern sich um Pflege, Umbauten und Werbung für das Freibad. 2014 besuchten etwa 30.000 Besucher das Freibad.

Stonehaven Open Air Pool

Stonehaven Open Air Swimming Pool, Queen Elizabeth Park, Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, is an Olympic sized heated open air public pool opened on 4 June 1934. It is one of the northernmost lidos in the UK. The pool is operated by Live Life Aberdeenshire. Description This 55 yard (50.3 meters) x 20 yard open air pool is the UK's only art deco Olympic sized sea water lido. The water is heated (29C/84F) and the pool is open from late May to early September. There is a Leisure Centre with indoor swimming pool next door. Other facilities include a paddling pool and a cafe. At the deep end, there is a small water slide, themed as a shark. An inflatable swoopee is also available on weekend afternoons in early & late season and daily in high season (local school holidays). Midnight swims are also offered weekly in high season. There was also previously a high diving board, but this was removed in the 1980's. History The pool was opened 4 June 1934 by MP Malcolm Barclay-Harvey with a ceremony that included speed swimming and diving. Initially unheated, a combined heating and filtration system was installed for 1935 following complaints that the pool was too cold. The pool remained open during World War II. It was used by locally based soldiers for recreation. Usage of the pool declined in the 1970s, reportedly due to changing holiday patterns. The Friends of the Pool organisation was created in 1995 following a threat of closure from the council. On 5 March 1996, councillors decided to mothball the pool in an attempt to save around £80,000 in yearly subsidies. Following a local campaign led by the Friends of the Pool, the council announced that it would not withdraw the funds, allowing the pool to continue to operate. While the Council owns and operates the pool, the Friends maintain, enhance and promote the pool. In 2019, the slide was closed due to concerns about the state of its supporting structure. It was replaced for the opening of the pool in 2021. The pool did not operate in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It reopened in 2021. In 2025, winter "cold water swimming" sessions were introduced from the 8th of November.

Stoneypath Tower

Stoneypath Tower is an L-plan tower house dating from the late sixteenth century, about 3.5 miles (5.6 km) south of East Linton, and east of the Whittinghame Water in East Lothian, Scotland. History Stoneypath Tower was at first a property of the Lyles, but passed thereafter in succession to the Hamiltons of Innerwick, the Douglases of Whittinghame, and the Setons. At some stage it may have been blown up. By the later 19th century the building was in ruins, though in the early 21st century it was fully restored. Structure The tower stands on a promontory defended by steep slopes on three sides. It may include part of a keep built in the previous century. The original entrance, approached by an external stair, has been sealed. A turnpike stair reached all floors. On the second floor was the hall. The thickness of the wall enclosed a prison. The keep is built of rubble, with some freestone dressings. There were originally three storeys. The wing contained two chambers.

Stornoway High Church

The Stornoway High Church is a place of worship of the Church of Scotland in Stornoway. The church celebrated its centenary in 2009. There is an English and Gaelic congregation in the church, the English congregation worships in the old church and the Gaelic congregation worships in the 'New Hall'. History The congregation has its roots in the Free Church of Scotland and the United Presbyterian Church when the denominations, on the whole, merged to form the United Free Church of Scotland in October 1900. However, the congregation that was to form the High Church (at that time, the United Free High Church), was without a building. A new building was planned, and on 1 August 1909, the Church took possession of its new home at the corner of Matheson Road and Goathill Road in Stornoway. In 1929, the congregations of the United Free Church united with the established Church of Scotland, with the Stornoway church becoming the Stornoway High Church of Scotland. On 22 March 2019, the Rev. Gordon MacLeod was inducted as their minister. At the close of 2022, the congregation had 82 members, served by 7 elders. By the year end of 2023, this had risen to 89 members and 9 elders. The rise continued into 2024, with 92 members being part of the congregation. Worship The congregation has acts of worship at 11am and 6:30pm every Sunday. In addition, they also meet on Wednesday evenings at 7:30pm. 2013 secession At a meeting on 18 June 2013, 250 members of the church's congregation voted to leave the Church of Scotland over disagreement with its handling of the issue of gay clergy. Those who left joined later to the Free Church of Scotland and established a new congregation named Stornoway High Free Church. Until that point, it had been the largest congregation within the Western Isles, and one of the largest Presbyterian churches in Scotland. References
