An Aird

An Aird is both an area of Fort William, Scotland, and also the largest dedicated shinty park in the town and is situated on the east bank of Loch Linnhe, near the centre of the town. It is located next to the Nevis Centre. An Aird regularly hosts both the Camanachd Cup Final and the Composite Rules Shinty/Hurling Internationals and is considered one of the finest parks in shinty. It is home to Fort William Shinty Club's various squads who have played there since moving from Claggan Park in the 1980s. The capacity of the stadium is 5000, comprising a small stand which seats 400 and standing. It also has Fort William's clubhouse on the premises. Despite shinty's profile in the town, efforts are afoot to evict Fort William Shinty Club from An Aird, in order to build a supermarket. The local authority, Highland Council, have come under fire for their care of the park, especially after the playing surface was stripped bare by rabbits. The company behind the planned development of a new supermarket were unequivocal in stating in April 2007 that there would be no development upon the An Aird pitch. In March 2008, Highland Council again came under fire for their negligence of the An Aird surface, which almost resulted in the loss of An Aird's prestigious status as a Camanachd Cup Final host stadium. In February 2009 the stadium was attacked by vandals causing thousands of pounds of damage. The shinty club will be forced to move to the Black Park in Fort William in season 2010 in order for renovation work to be done on the pitch at An Aird. The area was again marked for development in late 2010 with plans being made by an Edinburgh-based company to develop the site for a supermarket. This would involve moving the shinty club to a new location within the town. Uncertainty over the availability of An Aird led to it losing the 2011 Camanachd Cup Final. The club used Black Parks, near Inverlochy, for most of 2012. References External links Fort William Shinty Club

Arbroath Infirmary

Arbroath Infirmary is a hospital at the top of Rosemount Road in Arbroath serving the town and the greater area of Angus, Scotland. The hospital is managed by NHS Tayside. History The origins of Arbroath Infirmary can be traced back to 1836 when a dispensary run by local medical practitioners was set up by public subscription to meet an urgent need for medical provision and the care of the poor in Arbroath. Following a typhus epidemic in 1842, a small fever ward for in-patients was set up, and the following year subscriptions began to be collected so an infirmary could be established. The result of these efforts led to the official foundation of the hospital 12 January 1845 at premises in Dundee Road, Arbroath, originally for cases of fever and accidents. By 1855, it had 50 beds, and by 1867, that number had grown to 60. After experiencing overcrowding, it was moved in 1916 to a larger building in Rosemount Road. With the advent of the National Health Service in 1947, Arbroath Infirmary became part of the Eastern Region Hospital Board. A new wing was opened by Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother on 26 September 1961. References External links Official site

Archers' Hall

The Archers' Hall is the club house of the Royal Company of Archers, the Sovereign's Bodyguard in Scotland. It is located at 66 Buccleuch Street in the Southside of Edinburgh, and has been used by the company for over 230 years. Building commenced on 15 August 1776, and was completed in 1777 to designs by Alexander Laing. When the foundation stone was laid in 1776, two lines of Latin were inscribed on a plate which was set in the stone. These lines, beginning Nulla Caledoniam, were taken from: The Royal Company of Archers were granted the motto "Nemo me impune lacessit" by a Royal charter of Queen Anne, 1713. The building was extended in 1900 by Robert Rowand Anderson and his partner, A. F. Balfour Paul. The principal hall inside measures 40 by 24 feet (12.2 by 7.3 m), and is 18 feet (5.5 m) high. Two other rooms of 18 by 19 feet (5.5 by 5.8 m) are contained in the building, as well as a kitchen, cellars, lobby, and other apartments. The ground behind the house was laid out into a bowling green, maintained by the Edinburgh Bowling Club until its redevelopment in 2008. The hall serves as a venue for various dinners and meetings of the Royal Company of Archers and the club. An external lodge, adjacent to the hall, houses an indoor changing rooms, shooting gallery and a bow workshop. Archers' Hall is a category A listed building, a building "of regional or more than local importance". There is a proposal to demolish the lodge. In 2008 09 the corner lodge, existing archery butts and bowling pavilion were demolished to improve club facilities. Inside, an 8-person lift was installed to connect the basement, principal and main hall levels, and a new access through the north façade was built. The work also included repairs to existing stonework, and replacement of missing sections using natural stone chosen to match. The work was carried out by LDN Architects. Since 9 February 2008 the club's commercial entity is Bowmen Limited, a registered private company. It caused considerable distress when Edinburgh Bowling Club, founded in 1848 and said to be Edinburgh's oldest, was obliged by the Royal Company of Archers to vacate the site. The Edinburgh Bowling Club subsequently disbanded and closed. The Archers' Hall development involved an extension to house archery practice ranges and the creation of fifteen two and three-storey multiple occupancy residences to provide accommodation for around 75 University of Edinburgh postgraduate students which the university has taken on a long lease. The project makes imaginative use of the space available and is focused around a lawn area where the original bowling green was. Among those organisations involved were Sir Robert McAlpine, Harley Haddow engineers and LDN Architects. Public access to the Archers' Hall is available by appointment. References

Ardgowan House

Ardgowan House ist ein Herrenhaus nahe der schottischen Stadt Inverkip in Inverclyde. 1971 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Kategorie A aufgenommen. Ardgowan House liegt isoliert rund 500 Meter nördlich von Inverkip inmitten eines weitläufigen Grundstücks mit zahlreichen Außengebäuden. Es ist im Renaissancestil erbaut. 1987 wurde das Anwesen in das Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland aufgenommen. Geschichte Im Jahre 1403 teilte der schottische König Robert III. seinem unehelichen Sohn John Stuart die Ländereien von Ardgowan zu. Seitdem wird das Anwesen innerhalb der Familie vererbt. Im späten 15. Jahrhundert wurde dort das Tower House Ardgowan Castle erreicht, bei welchem es sich wahrscheinlich um das Nachfolgebauwerk einer älteren Festung handelt. Um 1635 begründete Archibald Stewart die Linie der Baronets Shaw-Stewart. Das heutige Ardgowan House entstand unweit von Ardgowan Castle unter Sir John Shaw-Stewart, 4. Baronet. Als Architekten betraute er 1797 Hugh Cairncross mit der Planung. Das Gebäude wurde im Jahre 1801 fertiggestellt. Zu dieser Zeit wurden auch die weitläufigen Gärten durch den Landschaftsplaner John Ramsay angelegt. Sir Michael Shaw-Stewart, 6. Baronet ließ das Haus 1825 durch William Burn erweitern. Abermals wurde Ardgowan House 1862 durch Sir Michael Shaw-Stewart, 7. Baronet und schließlich 1904 unter Sir Michael Shaw-Stewart, 8. Baronet umgestaltet. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs diente das Herrenhaus als Krankenhaus. Auch gingen zu dieser Zeit verschiedene Außengebäude verloren.

Ardgowan House

Ardgowan House, Castle & Gardens is a privately owned late 18th-century mansion on the Firth of Clyde near Inverkip, Scotland. Ardgowan is located in Inverclyde, in the former county of Renfrewshire. The Ardgowan Estate has been held by the Stewart family since the early 15th century: towards the end of that century, their tower house Ardgowan Castle was built within the site of the previous Inverkip Castle fortress. The present house was erected in 1797 and completed in 1801 from designs by Cairncross. It is the seat of the Shaw Stewart baronets, currently Sir Ludovic Houston Shaw Stewart, 12th Baronet of Greenock and Blackhall. The house is protected as a category A listed building, and the grounds are included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland, the national listing of significant gardens. History In 1403, King Robert III granted the lands of Ardgowan to his natural son, Sir John Stewart. In 1667 Archibald Stewart was created a baronet. The 3rd baronet married, in 1730, Helen Houston, heiress of the Shaws of Greenock. Their son Sir John Shaw-Stewart, 4th baronet, commissioned a design for a new house from the architect Hugh Cairncross. Construction began in 1797, and was completed around 1801. The grounds were laid out to designs by James Ramsay from 1800. In 1825 William Burn was appointed by the 6th baronet to extend the house. Sir Michael Shaw-Stewart, 7th Baronet and his wife Lady Octavia, daughter of the 2nd Marquess of Westminster, continued improvements to the grounds, employing their gardener brought from Eaton Hall, Cheshire to install formal gardens. In 1904 the 8th baronet commissioned Robert Lorimer to design the conservatory. Planting of new trees and shrubs continued until the Second World War, during which the house was employed as a hospital. The house remains home to the Shaw-Stewarts, and is also operated as a venue for rent. The estate The estate includes the remains of the 15th-century Ardgowan Castle, also known as Inverkip Castle. Only this tower house remains to mark the position of the old castle of Inverkip, which was a major fortress besieged by the forces of Edward I of England led by Earl of Ulster and his son-in-law Robert the Bruce, Earl of Carrick. The castle was then held by the English through the first part of what became known as the Scottish Wars of Independence. The three-story ruin is protected as a category B listed building. The gothic Chapel of St Michael and All Angels, built in the mid-19th century, is also on the estate, but since 2010 it has lost its roof and is falling into ruin. In media The house was in used in Ordeal by Innocence, a three-part BBC drama that was first broadcast during April 2018, and based on Agatha Christie's novel of the same name. The house features in the episode "Fly Society" of the sitcom Still Game.
