Coleburn Distillery is a recently reinstated Speyside single malt Scotch whisky distillery in Longmorn, Elgin in Scotland. History The distillery was founded in 1897 by John Robertson & Son. In 1915 was sold to the Clynelish Distillery Company, which John Risk owned, John Walker & Sons and DCL. In 1985, Coleburn distillery was mothballed. in 1986, DCL. was acquired by Guinness and was renamed as United Distillers in 1987. In 1997, Guinness merged with Grand Metropolitan to create Diageo wish become the owner of Coleburn distillery. In 2004, the distillery buildings were sold to the D&M Winchester with plans to transform the distillery grounds into a whisky resort. In 2014, Coleburn’s dunnage warehouses were leased to Aceo, owner of an independent bottler Murray McDavid that also has plans to restart whisky production on the site. In 2024, D&M Winchester announced that the Coleburn Distillery bistro will open later in the year with plans for the distillery restart producing whisky in the future. In August 2025, D&M Winchester announced that the Coleburn Distillery will reopen in 2027, with master distiller Keith Cruickshank and Organic Architects leading the project. Coleburn is now being reinstated as a fully operational site, complete with a new distillery and visitor bistro in the first phase of development. The distillery will be known as ‘The Distillery at Coleburn’. Coleburn will combine heritage and innovation, respecting its traditional DNA while adopting modern techniques and sustainable practices, with plans for a two-tonne mash tun and initial production of around 100,000 litres of alcohol annually. The project is focused on community, culture, and tourism, creating jobs, preserving Speyside’s whisky heritage, and offering visitors not just whisky, but a story, a setting, and a sense of place that brings new life to one of Speyside’s hidden gems.

Fonab Castle

Fonab Castle, also known as Port-na-Craig House, is located in Pitlochry, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. History Built in 1892 for Lieutenant Colonel George Glas Sandeman, and now a Category B listed building. In 1946, the building became the property of the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board, who changed the property's name from Fonab Castle to Port-na-Craig House. The castle was altered internally in 1954. The building lay empty for many years, and was listed on the Buildings at Risk Register for Scotland. As a hotel The castle is now a luxury five-star hotel, set in 11 acres (4.5 ha) (which is much less than its original acreage due to the flooding of Loch Faskally to create a reservoir). The hotel has a fine-dining restaurant of three AA Rosettes, and 43 guest bedrooms. In 2022, the property was sold, via a Savills auction, to Fonab SPV. References External links Official website
Jedburgh Town Hall

Jedburgh Public Hall known as Jedburgh Town Hall is a listed building in the centre of Jedburgh opposite the ruins of Jedburgh Abbey. It was opened in 1900 as the town's principal public building. It overlooks a large car park which is beside the A68. History The current building dates from 1900 and it was designed by James Pearson Alison. This was the same year as Jedburgh Library was opened. It was built on the foundations of a previous building and basement rooms are from that former use as a malt barn. These rooms had been used as the town armoury. The town needed a public building as the Corn Exchange, which had stood in the market place, burnt down in 1898. The new public building was used as a drill hall during the first world war. The hall was used by "C" Squadron of the Lothians and Border Horse and for "A" Company of the 4th battalion of the King's Own Scottish Borderers. In 1918 it was a scene of celebration when war hero John Daykins VC was honoured at the hall. The novelist, playwright and creator of Peter Pan, J. M. Barrie, visited the town hall when he became a freeman of the town on 15 October 1928. It was at the town hall that, in a by-election in March 1965, the future leader of the Liberal Democrats, David Steel, was declared elected, aged just 25, as the youngest Member of Parliament in the UK House of Commons. In 1975 an information centre was attached and the hall became a class B listed building on 23 March 1993. The hall was run and owned by the local council but in 2015 the costs of ownership became onerous and it and the management of many other public buildings in the borders were transferred to a trust. The building was available to let and it was the location for the local flower show, birl'n'beer and music evenings. In early 2020 it was proposed that the hall might be sold, but a petition caused the council to pause the proposed closures. Then, in September 2020, the council reported that it was considering proposals, submitted by a community group known as "Jedburgh Legacy Group", to take over the management of some of Jedburgh's historic buildings. Facilities The hall has four different levels. In the basement there is a smaller hall, stores and a kitchen, while on the ground floor there is the main hall, foyer, stage and a changing room. The first floor has a meeting room and access to the balcony and on the second floor there are three more rooms. All the levels have toilets.

Johnstone Castle

Johnstone Castle ist die Ruine eines Landhauses in der Stadt Johnstone in der schottischen Council Area Renfrewshire. Geschichte Das Haus aus dem 18. Jahrhundert gehörte den Houstouns von Milliken, die das Anwesen von Easter Cochrane 1773 erwarben. Das ursprüngliche Gebäude wurde 1771 und nochmals im Auftrag von George Houstoun im Jahre 1812 vergrößert. Beim letzten Umbau wurde das Haus mit Zinnen versehen und erhielt eine Tourelle an der linken Seite der Frontfassade, vermutlich geplant vom Architekten James Gillespie Graham. Zu den bemerkenswertesten Details zählten die Räume des Erdgeschosses, die Tonnengewölbedecken hatten. Zusätzlich zu den Zinnenverzierungen hatte das Gebäude unter der Dachkante eine Ziersteinlage in Form eines Seils. Auch wenn das Landhaus und sein Anwesen als teilweise pittoresk galten, führte das Wachstum der Stadt Johnstone doch dazu, dass das Grundstück stetig verkleinert wurde und Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts fast ganz verschwand. Der größte Teil des Hauses wurde 1950 abgerissen und 1956 kaufte die Stadt den größten Teil des verbleibenden Grundstücks für den Siedlungsbau. Heute ist nur noch der Mittelturm mit quadratischem Grundriss erhalten, der einen älteren Staffelgiebel mit Scharwachtturm besitzt. Dieser Turm war eine Ruine, bis er 2001 gekauft und zu einem privaten Wohnhaus ausgebaut wurde. Historic Scotland hat ihn als historisches Bauwerk der Kategorie B gelistet. Frédéric Chopin Das bekannteste Ereignis in der Geschichte von Johnstone Castle ist der Besuch des polnischen Komponisten Frédéric Chopin 1848. Er wurde von Anne Houstoun, der Gattin des damaligen Lairds Ludovic eingeladen, als er auf einer Tour durch Schottland war. Annes Schwester, Jane Stirling, war eine Schülerin und langjährige Freundin Chopins und hatte die Tour arrangiert. Chopin war anfangs von dem Anwesen bezaubert und beschrieb seinen Aufenthalt in einem Brief: „Ich weile in Mrs. Houstouns Haus. Das Landhaus ist sehr hübsch und opulent; man führt sein Leben in großem Stil.“ Leider wurde das Wetter schlechter und er schrieb an seinen Freund Wojciech Grzymała: „Das Wetter hat sich verändert, es ist furchtbar draußen. Ich fühle mich krank und deprimiert und alle gehen mir mit ihrer übertriebenen Aufmerksamkeit auf die Nerven.“ Zu allem Unglück war er auch noch in einen Unfall verwickelt, der ihm das Leben hätte kosten können: Er fuhr mit einem zweispännigen Wagen aus und eines der Pferde bäumte sich auf und riss sich vom Geschirr los, während Chopin noch im Wagen saß. Der Wagen krachte in einen Baum und zerfiel in Stücke. Der Komponist konnte aber dem Wrack entsteigen.

Johnstone Castle

Johnstone Castle (Scots: Johnstoun Castle, Scottish Gaelic: Caisteal Baile Iain) is a structure and former mansion in the town of Johnstone in Renfrewshire, Scotland. It belonged to the Houstons of Milliken, who acquired the estate of Easter Cochrane in 1773. The original structure was substantially enlarged in 1771 and 1812 by George Houston, who had the structure remodelled in a castellated style complete with a turret at the left hand of the front elevation, possibly by the architect James Gillespie Graham. The most notable features were barrel vaulted rooms in the ground floor. Externally in addition to the battlemented decoration there was a rope-styled string course. Although the castle and policies were considered particularly picturesque, the continued growth of the town of Johnstone reduced its size and the estate had largely disappeared by the start of the 20th century. Much of the house was demolished in 1950, and most of the remainder of the grounds was purchased by the local authority for housing in 1956. Today all that remains is the central square tower along with a crow-stepped bartizaned section of an older date. The tower lay in disrepair until being purchased in 2001, and is now a private residence. It is a protected category B listed building. Frédéric Chopin Johnstone Castle's principal claim to fame is a visit by the Polish composer Chopin in 1848. He had been invited by Anne Houston, wife of the then-5th laird of Johnstone Ludovick (1780-1862), as part of his Scottish tour. Anne's sister Jane Wilhelmina Stirling was a student and long-time friend of the composer, and had arranged the tour. Chopin was initially charmed by the estate and grounds, describing his stay in a letter: "I am staying at Mrs Houston's house. The Castle is very handsome, opulent, one leads life on a grand scale." Unfortunately the weather deteriorated, and he wrote to his friend Wojciech Grzymała: The weather has changed, and it is dreadful outside. I am feeling sick and depressed, and everyone wears me down with their excessive attentions. To compound his misery, he had a brush with a death more violent than a wasting. As the composer rode in a two-horse carriage, one of the animals reared and broke loose from the reins. Chopin was still inside when the carriage hit a tree and smashed into pieces. He managed to climb free of the wreckage. References
Comrie Castle

Comrie Castle is a ruined castle about 15 miles north (as the crow flies, rather over 30 by road) of Comrie, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. The castle is located on the River Lyon. The castle was originally the seat of the Menzies family. Partially destroyed by fire in 1487, the seat of the Menzies family moved to Weem Castle. Rebuilt in the sixteenth century, as a L-plan tower house, the castle was last occupied in 1748 and became ruinous. It is now protected as a scheduled monument.

Kelso Town Hall

Kelso Town Hall is a municipal building in The Square, Kelso, Scotland. The building, which was the headquarters of Kelso Burgh Council, is a Category B listed building. History The first municipal building in Kelso was a tolbooth which dated back to the 1670s. It had a tall tower on the southwest side and, like other buildings in Kelso, it was originally thatched and was almost certainly badly damaged in the fire which destroyed much of the town in 1684. By the early 19th century the tolbooth was in a ruinous condition and the burgh leaders initiated a campaign by public subscription to raise money for its replacement, for which the 5th Duke of Roxburghe, whose seat was at Floors Castle, provided the site and donated the majority of the money. The foundation stone for the new building was laid by the 5th Duke of Roxburghe on 20 March 1816. It was designed in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar stone and was completed later in the year. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with five bays facing onto The Square; the ground floor was originally open, so that markets could be held, with an assembly room on the first floor. On the first floor elevation, there was an Ionic order portico which slightly projected forward and was surmounted by an entablature and a modillioned pediment and, at roof level, there was a balustrade and large octagonal cupola with a dome. A clock, donated by a London-based clockmaker, Alexander Purvis, was added to the cupola in 1841. In the mid-19th century there was a daily market for "fish, flesh and cabbage". The 8th Duke of Roxburghe transferred ownership of the building to the burgh council in 1902, and it was re-modelled by John Daniel Swanston and William Syme in the Baroque Revival style at a cost of £3,000 between 1902 and 1908. The remodelling works included the enclosure of the ground floor and the creation of a central round headed doorway flanked by banded pilasters supporting an open pediment with the burgh coat of arms in the tympanum, as well as the elevation of the columns of the first floor portico onto pedestals and their detachment from the walls, and the removal of the roof level balustrade. The town hall continued to serve as the headquarters of the burgh council for much of the 20th century, but ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged Roxburgh District Council was formed at Hawick in 1975. It instead became the meeting place of Kelso Community Council; a programme of refurbishment works was completed in 1996 and the ground floor became occupied by the local registry office and the local team from Visit Scotland. A piece of public art, sculpted by Jake Harvey and entitled the "Kelsae Stane", was unveiled in front of the town hall in July 2014, and the River Tweed Salmond Fishing Museum, featuring a 31 kilograms (68 lb) salmon caught by the 7th Earl of Home in 1735, was established in the town hall in September 2020.

Gartmore House

Gartmore House ist ein Landhaus im Dorf Gartmore in der schottischen Council Area Stirling. Die Familie Graham ließ es Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts an Stelle eines älteren Hauses errichten. Der Architekt William Adam fertigte in den 1740er-Jahren für Nicol Graham of Gartmore Pläne an, aber laut Historic Scotland ist es zweifelhaft, ob er das Haus so entwarf, wie es letztendlich gebaut wurde. Nicol Grahams Sohn, Robert Cunninghame Graham of Gartmore, ließ das Haus 1779–1780 von John Baxter Junior erweitern. Beschreibung 1883 wurde Gartmore House das Heim von Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham (1852–1936). Das kaufte Sir Charles Cayzer, 1. Baronet, das Anwesen. David Barclay, ein Student von Charles Rennie Mackintosh, baute das Landhaus 1901–1902 um; er baute einen Turm an, veränderte das Dach und gestaltete die Westfassade um. Innen wurde die Haupttreppe in die Mitte des Hauses versetzt und sie ist beeindruckend: aus Holz, das laut Cayzer von der spanischen Armada stammen soll, Balustraden und Stützen, die manieristische Formen widerspiegeln. In den 1940er-Jahren befand sich das Haus unter dem Kommando der Armee und wurde bis 1950 als Kaserne genutzt. Nach dem Krieg nahm die Familie Cayzer es nicht zurück und es wurde stückweise verkauft. 1953 kaufte die Erzdiözese Glasgow Gartmore House, um dort St Ninian’s einzurichten, eine Schule nach Liste D, die von den De-La-Salle-Brüdern, einem römisch-katholischen Orden, betrieben wurde. Von 1983 bis 1985 wurde Gartmore House nicht genutzt und dann von der The Way in GB Ltd als europäische Basis für The Way International gekauft. Von 1995 bis 1997 stand das Haus erneut leer und dann kaufte es Peter und Anne Sutherland zusammen mit Cloverley Hall und bauten es zu einem Konferenz- und Veranstaltungszentrum um. 2000 wurde Cloverley Hall wieder verkauft und Gartmore House wurde von einem gemeinnützigen Verein übernommen. 2004 wurde es mit Carberry Tower in East Lothian zusammengelegt. Heute ist Gartmore House ein Konferenzzentrum, das von Gruppen, wie Schulen, Orchestern oder religiösen Gruppen, genutzt wird. Kürzlich wurde die Ölheizung durch eine Biomasseheizung ersetzt, um den CO2-Ausstoß zu senken. Historic Scotland hat Gartmore House als historisches Bauwerk der Kategorie B gelistet.

Gartmore House

Gartmore House is a country house and estate in the village of Gartmore, Stirling, Scotland. It was built in the mid-18th century for the Graham family on the site of an earlier house. William Adam prepared plans for Nicol Graham of Gartmore in the 1740s, but according to Historic Scotland, it is doubtful that he designed the house as built. The house was enlarged for Nicol's son, Robert Graham of Gartmore by John Baxter Junior in 1779-80. Gartmore became the home of Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham (1852–1936) in 1883. He was forced to sell the estate in 1900 to pay death duties. The estate was then bought by Sir Charles Cayzer. It was partly redesigned by David Barclay,who added the tower, altered the roof and redesigned the western front, in 1901-1902. Internally, the main stairs were relocated in the centre of the house and the staircase is substantial, timber (which Cayzer claimed came from the Spanish Armada) with balustrades and newel posts which reflect Mannerist forms. Stained glass added by Cayzer was designed by Stephen Adam. The house was commandeered by the Army in the 1940s, and became a barracks until 1950. After the war, the Cayzer family did not take the house back and it was sold off in pieces. In 1953, the Archdiocese of Glasgow bought the house to establish St. Ninian's, a list D school run by the De La Salle Brothers, a Roman Catholic religious order. During this period the house was the site of numerous cases of child abuse, perpetrated by the staff of St. Ninians. These cases did not come to light until several decades later. Between 1983 and 1985 Gartmore House lay dormant, and was then bought by The Way in GB Ltd as a European base for The Way International. From 1995 to 1997 Gartmore House was again empty until it was bought by Peter and Anne Sunderland in conjunction with Cloverley Hall, and became a conference and activity centre. In 2000, Cloverly Hall was bought over and Gartmore House became a charitable trust. Then, in 2004, it was joined with Carberry Tower in East Lothian. Gartmore House is now a conference centre, used by groups including schools, orchestras and religious groups. Recently, the oil fuel system was replaced by a Biomass heating system in an attempt to reduce carbon emissions. The house is a Category B listed building.
