Wellington Church

Die Wellington Church ist ein Kirchengebäude der presbyterianischen Church of Scotland in der schottischen Stadt Glasgow. 1966 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Geschichte Die Kirchengemeinde nutzte zuvor die Wellington Street Church im Glasgower Zentrum. John Baird hatte das zwischenzeitlich abgebrochene Gebäude entworfen. Das Ausschreibungsverfahren zur Wellington Church gewann Thomas Lennox Watson mit seinem klassizistischen Entwurf und setzte sich dabei gegen John Burnet durch. Die Wellington Church wurde am 11. Oktober 1884 eröffnet. Beschreibung Das Gebäude steht an der Einmündung der Southpark Avenue in die University Avenue. Gegenüber steht das Gilbert Scott Building, das Hauptgebäude der Universität Glasgow, links der McMillan Reading Room. An der südexponierten Frontseite tritt ein Portikus im Stile griechischer Tempelarchitektur mit sechs korinthischen Säulen hervor. Oberhalb des schmucklosen Frieses und unterhalb des abschließenden Dreiecksgiebels verläuft ein Zahnschnitt. Die drei Eingangsportale schmücken skulpturierte Friese und Gesimse. Die Seitenfassaden zeigen korinthische Kolonnaden. Pilaster flankieren die Rundbogenarkade der Galerie.

Wemyss Castle

Wemyss Castle, auch Hall of the Wemyss, ist eine ehemalige Burg und heutiges Herrenhaus nahe der schottischen Ortschaft West Wemyss in der Council Area Fife. 1972 wurde das Bauwerk als Einzeldenkmal in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Das Gesamtanwesen ist im schottischen Register für Landschaftsgärten verzeichnet. In vier von sieben Kategorien wurde das höchste Prädikat „herausragend“ verliehen. Wemyss Castle ist nicht zu verwechseln mit Castle Wemyss in Inverclyde. Geschichte Die Bezeichnung „Wemyss“ ist eine Anglisierung von schottisch-gälisch uamh für „Höhle“ und bezieht sich auf die Höhlen in der Klippe unterhalb des Anwesens, das sich seit dem 12. Jahrhundert im Besitz des Clans Wemyss befindet. Ein Wehrbau am Standort wurde durch Truppen Eduard I. zerstört. Im Jahre 1423 ist eine Burg von John Wemyss of Reres bei West Wemyss verzeichnet. Seit spätestens 1428 ließ die Familie Kohle fördern, welche, neben der später begründeten Salzproduktion, die Grundlage ihres Wohlstands bildete. David Wemyss erwirkte 1511 von Jakob IV. die Einrichtung einer Baronie, deren Zentrum die Burg bildete. Um diese Zeit wurde das Bauwerk erweitert. 1565 traf die schottische Königin Maria Stuart auf Wemyss Castle erstmals ihren späteren Gemahl Henry Stuart. 1633 wurde John Wemyss als erster Earl of Wemyss installiert. Im Laufe der folgenden Jahrhunderte wurde Wemyss Castle mehrfach erweitert und überarbeitet. Sukzessive wurde der Wehrbau zu einem Herrenhaus mit Außengebäuden umgestaltet. Auf Grund seiner Rolle in der Schlacht bei Culloden verwirkte David Wemyss, 6. Earl of Wemyss seinen Besitz. Das Earldom wurde in der Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts unter Karl I. von den Ländereien getrennt, sodass die Earls of Wemyss heute in Gosford House residieren.

West Calder High School

West Calder High School is a secondary school in West Calder, West Lothian, Scotland. The current school building was officially opened in 2018 by former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, the UN's Special Envoy for Global Education. History The school first opened in 1965 to take up to 750 pupils from the Calders Area of West Lothian, Scotland, which includes East Calder, Mid Calder, West Calder and Polbeth. The enrollment of pupils in the school was around 900 pupils in 2011. The current West Calder High School, the fourth to bear the name, was opened to staff and pupils in August 2018. Construction of the new school began in 2016. The school cost £32 million and was completed both on time and within budget. The 1,100 capacity school is West Lothian's biggest single investment in education and has been designed with the pupil experience at the core, as well as providing facilities accessible to the local community. The project was completed by Morrison Construction with developer Hub South East. The school was officially opened on 8 November 2018 by the UN Special Envoy for Global Education, the Rt Hon Gordon Brown, former UK Prime Minister. Since its opening, the designers of the new West Calder High School building, NORR UK, were nominated for but did not win an award in the 'Pupil Experience' category at the 2018 Education Building Scotland Awards in November 2018. In 2019, the school won Project of the Year title at the Education Buildings Scotland Awards. In March 2016 inspectors from Education Scotland visited the previous school building to carry out an inspection. This highlighted strengths and areas for improvement and identified that the school needed additional support to improve. A follow-up visit was made by Education Scotland in June 2017 highlighting improvements made. In 2021, it was reported that the school had made significant gains in improving academic achievement. In May 2021, The Times reported that the school was placed in the top 20 of their school League Table and observed that it had become Scotland's most improved high school with 70 per cent of pupils attaining a gold standard of five highers or more.

West Coats Primary School

West Coats Primary School is a listed building at 60 Brownside Road in Cambuslang on the south east fringe of Glasgow, Scotland. It was built in the late 19th century and is still an active school with over 400 children. It has been extended to accommodate the increasing number of pupils. The school has several classrooms, a gym/dining hall and a Computer Suite. P6 and P7 performed with Scottish Opera at a performance in February 2006. In the early 21st century, West Coats demand for places far outstrips capacity - even with the new extension erected in the upper playground (the erstwhile boys' playground) in the early 2000s. Due to the age of the buildings and the demand for places - which worsened as a large amount of new houses for young families were built in the surrounding area such as at Greenlees, while the school itself continued to receive very good ratings in inspections - the campus was extended in 2003 and refurbished in 2015–16. During the latter process, the pupils had to attend a decant facility at the former Cairns Primary School (which had itself already been rebuilt on an adjacent site) in the Halfway district of Cambuslang. As well as central Cambuslang south of the Main Street, the catchment zone for West Coats includes the Kirkhill and Holmhills (the northern part of Whitlawburn) areas. History The original stone buildings have been B-listed since 1993. When first constructed, West Coats Road did not extend south past Brownside Road, but contemporaneous with a southern extension of West Coats Road the three-storey extension was added on that side of the school; it is portrayed on the 1910 map of the area but not the 1896 version. Similarly, the railway line (Glasgow to Newton) in a deep cutting that bounds the school site to the south did not appear until that map edition. Originally West Coats was a Higher Grade (or HG) school that pupils attended from age five to fourteen and left for the workplace. Later it became a primary school for children aged between five and eleven, (or twelve, depending on when their birthday fell). At one time West Coats had a smart uniform comprising blazers, white shirts or blouses, ties, grey flannel short trousers or gym-slips, grey themed jumpers with matching knee-length socks, and black shoes. Today’s uniform is rather different. Eminent former pupils of West Coats include Robert Crawford, current Professor of English at St. Andrew’s University, and the late Duncan Glen, Professor Emeritus of Visual Communication at Nottingham Trent University. Whereas an eminent former head teacher of West Coats was poet John Buchanan, who reigned at the school somewhere around the period 1905–1919. The well-known boxer Scott Harrison went to this school.

Westburn Park

Der Westburn Park ist eine öffentliche Parkanlage in der schottischen Stadt Aberdeen. Geschichte 1839 war David Chalmers, Chefredakteur des Aberdeen Journal und Mitglied dessen Besitzerfamilie, Eigentümer des Landstücks. In diesem Jahr ließ er dort die Villa Westburn House nach einem Entwurf Archibald Simpsons errichten. 1900 erwarb die Stadt Aberdeen das Anwesen und richtete dort den Westburn Park ein, der im Folgejahr der Öffentlichkeit zugängig gemacht wurde. Im 19. Jahrhundert befand sich am heutigen Ostrand des Parks ein Zentrum für Hydrotherapie. Mit dem Bau der Cornhill Road wurde vor 1902 eines der Gebäude abgetragen. Die übrigen folgten im Laufe des 20. Jahrhunderts, sodass heute nichts mehr von der Einrichtung erhalten ist. Während der Einrichtung des öffentlichen Parks wurde Westburn House durch John Rust umgestaltet und beherbergte eine Gaststätte. Später wurde in der Villa ein Kindergarten eingerichtet. Seit spätestens 1998 steht Westburn House ungenutzt leer. Beschreibung Der Westburn Park befindet sich im nördlich des historischen Stadtzentrum gelegenen Stadtteil Rosemount. Im Süden grenzt die Westburn Road (A944) den Westburn Park vom gegenüberliegenden, älteren Victoria Park ab. Der Westburn Drive entlang der Westflanke führt die A978. Der Westburn Park nimmt eine Fläche von etwa zehn Hektar ein. Auf alten Kartenblättern ist der den Park durchquerende Gilcomston Burn ersichtlich. Als West Burn bezeichnet ist er noch teilweise oberflächlich sichtbar. Neben einem Spielplatz umfasst der Westburn Park Tennisplätze, einen Bowlsplatz und einen Skatepark.

Sloy Power Station

Die Sloy Power Station (deutsch: Kraftwerk Sloy) ist ein Wasserkraftwerk in der schottischen Council Area Argyll and Bute. Es befindet sich in einer dünn besiedelten, bergigen Region in den Arrochar Alps nördlich der Halbinsel Cowal am Nordwestufer von Loch Lomond. 1996 wurde das Kraftwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Kategorie A aufgenommen. Zusätzlich bildet es zusammen mit der Staumauer an Loch Sloy ein Denkmalensemble der Kategorie A. Die nächstgelegene größere Ortschaft ist das etwa sechs Kilometer entfernte Tarbet. Stausee Im ersten Plan zur Nutzung der Wasserkraft in Schottland war die Aufstauung von Loch Sloy vorgesehen. Die Bauarbeiten begannen unter Federführung des North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board und waren 1949 abgeschlossen. Die in dieser Zeit entstandene Staumauer war zum Bauzeitpunkt mit einer Länge von 366 m die längste ihrer Art in Schottland. Bei der Errichtung des 46 m hohen Bauwerks wurde teilweise auf deutsche Kriegsgefangene des Zweiten Weltkriegs zurückgegriffen. Das Aufstauen verursachte eine Verdopplung der Seelänge, wobei dieser rund 50 m an Tiefe gewann. Das Regeneinzugsgebiet vervierfachte sich durch diese Maßnahme. Kraftwerk Die Sloy Power Station liegt etwa drei Kilometer südöstlich der Staumauer am Ufer von Loch Lomond. Von der Staumauer aus wurden mehrere zwei Meter durchmessende Druckleitungen durch den Berg Ben Vorlich, der zwischen den beiden Seen liegt, getrieben. Der architektonische Entwurf wurde 1947 eingereicht und der Bau 1950 abgeschlossen. In Gegenwart der britischen Königinmutter fand die feierliche Eröffnung der Anlage statt. In den 1990er Jahren wurden Sanierungsarbeiten mit einem Volumen von 113 Millionen £ durchgeführt. Hierbei wurden drei der vier Generatoren ausgetauscht und ihre Leistung von 32,5 MW auf jeweils 40 MW erhöht. Das Kraftwerk vermag eine Leistung von 152,5 MW zu generieren und ist damit das leistungsfähigste Wasserkraftwerk im Vereinigten Königreich. Bei voller Auslastung verbraucht die Anlage rund 4,5 Millionen Liter Wasser je Minute. Die erzeugte Energie wird über 132-kV-Leitungen in das Stromnetz eingespeist. Die Wiedereröffnung übernahm die schottische Labour-Ministerin Sarah Boyack. Obschon bereits bei den ersten Plänen in den 1940er Jahren erwogen, wurde die Planung zu einem Ausbau als Pumpspeicherkraftwerk erst im Jahre 2010 aufgenommen. Es ist geplant eine Pumpleistung von 60 MW zu installieren, um Wasser aus dem Loch Lomond in den Loch Sloy zu überführen.
