Glenbervie House

Glenbervie House is a mansion house, which has incorporated parts of an earlier castle, located near Glenbervie, Kincardine and Mearns, Scotland. History A castle existed in the 13th century, owned by the Melville family which originally controlled a number of trackways over the Mounth. King Edward I of England stayed one night in 1296 at the castle, during his invasion of Scotland on his way to Aberdeen. Alterations were undertaken in the 14th century. The castle passed by the heiress Elizabeth Melville to the Auchinleck family in 1468 and by the heiress Elizabeth Auchinleck to the Douglas family in 1496. Further alterations were undertaken in the 15th century. Adam Gordon of Auchindoun laid siege to Glenbervie in 1572 and captured the castle during the Marian civil war. The castle was sold in 1675 to Robert Burnett of Leys. Further alterations were undertaken in 1700, as well as 1854. Citations References CANMORE - Glenbervie House Coventry, Martin.

Old Bridge (Ruthven)

Die Old Bridge ist eine Straßenbrücke in der schottischen Ortschaft Ruthven in der Council Area Angus. 1971 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der Kategorie B aufgenommen. Geschichte Die Brücke wurde vermutlich im Laufe des 17. Jahrhunderts errichtet, ist möglicherweise jedoch sogar noch älter. 1855 wurde sie durch die Ruthven Bridge ersetzt und damit obsolet. Der Zustand der ungenutzten Brücke verschlechterte sich im Laufe der Jahrzehnte. Auf Grund von Bewuchs ist sie heute nicht mehr zugänglich. Die Old Bridge selbst befindet sich in einem äußerst schlechten Zustand und ist als instabil eingestuft. Beschreibung Die Old Bridge liegt nur wenige Meter flussaufwärts der Nachfolgerbrücke. Der Mauerwerksviadukt überspannt den Isla im Zentrum des Weilers Ruthven. Das Bruchsteinbauwerk quert den Isla mit zwei ausgemauerten Segmentbögen. Der Mittelpfeiler ist mit Eisbrechern ausgeführt, die bis auf Höhe des Brückendecks fortgeführt sind. Das etwa drei Meter weite Brückendeck verfügt nicht über Brüstungen.

Замок Нок (Абердиншир)

Существуют и другие за́мки с таким же названием. За́мок Нок (англ. Knock Castle) — шотландский замок, который расположен в области Абердиншир (северо-восточная Шотландия). Представляет собой типичное жилище лэрда; в настоящее время пребывает в полуразрушенном состоянии. Замок стоит на холме среди поля, расположен примерно в 1,6 километрах к западу от городка Баллатер (англ. Ballater) и примерно в 9,7 километрах к востоку от замка Балморал. Руины замка находятся под надзором общества по охране исторических памятников «Historic Scotland». Описание Замок был построен приблизительно в начале XVII века. Здание прямоугольно в плане (размеры основания примерно 8,2 на 6,7 метров) и имеет четыре этажа (самый верхний этаж был чердачным); толщина стен составляет около 1,2 метров. В настоящее время внешние стены замка сохранились практически целиком, однако крыша и внутренности замка полностью разрушены. Рядом с замком сохранились основания огораживающих стен. Отличительной чертой замка являются защитные бойницы для пистолетов, имеющиеся под каждым из многочисленных окон. Все бойницы направлены в сторону земли; центральная — вперёд, а две по бокам — несколько в стороны. Немного к западу от замка Нок находится холм, на котором, как считается, существовала старая деревянная крепость типа «мотт и бейли» — т. н. «Старый Нок», которая была разрушена в 1590 году. Исторически замок принадлежал шотландскому клану Гордонов. См. также Список замков Шотландии Список замков Абердиншира Клан Гордонов Мотт и бейли Примечания Ссылки (англ.)

West Seaton House

West Seaton House is a listed building of late Regency design, situated approximately one mile (1.6 km) to the east of Arbroath in the parish of St. Vigeans, in the county of Angus in Scotland. Prior to 2009 the house was known as West Seaton Farmhouse. History In 1840 farmlands at West Seaton were owned by the trustees of Thomas Renny Strachan of Tarry who was a descendant of Sir David Carnegie of Kinnaird. The trustees engaged the Dundee-based architect David MacKenzie I, who was regarded as a very competent Gothic designer, to produce plans and specifications for a house to be called West Seaton Farmhouse. Estimates for completing the house were sought via an advertisement in the Dundee, Perth and Cupar Advertiser dated 22 May 1840. Structure The house is of classic design with two-storeys, ashlar walls in the local pink sandstone, a slate roof and a projecting porch. On 11 June 1971 the house was category B listed by the Secretary of State. References

Howets of Kennethmont Bridge

Die Howets of Kennethmont Bridge, auch Hewelts of Kennethmont Bridge, ist eine Straßenbrücke in der schottischen Council Area Aberdeenshire. 1984 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der Kategorie B aufgenommen. Geschichte Nach der Einrichtung von Militärstraßen unter George Wade im Wesentlichen in den 1720er und 1730er Jahren wurden im mittleren 18. Jahrhundert weitere Militärstraßen angelegt. Zur Schaffung der Querung des Bogie wurde in diesem Kontext die heute aufgelassene und als Old Bridge bezeichnete Brücke errichtet. Mit der Einrichtung der Bahnstrecke Aberdeen–Inverness wurde ein Brückenneubau erforderlich, der sowohl den Fluss als auch die Bahnstrecke überspannt. Planer der neuen, zwischen 1852 und 1854 errichteten Howets of Kennethmont Bridge war der schottische Ingenieur Alexander Gibb. Mit Bauabschluss wurde die alte Brücke obsolet. Beschreibung Die Howets of Kennethmont Bridge befindet sich etwa einen Kilometer südlich von Gartly und 2,5 Kilometer nordwestlich von Kennethmont. Der Mauerwerksviadukt führt die B9002 über den Bogie und die Bahntrasse. Er ist mit zwei Bögen ausgeführt, von denen der über die Bahnstrecke führende als elliptischer und der über den Bogie führende als Segmentbogen ausgeführt ist. Aufgrund des Abstands zwischen Fluss und Bahnstrecke ist der Mittelpfeiler verhältnismäßig weit. Als Defensivbauwerk im Falle einer Invasion wurde zu Zeiten des Zweiten Weltkriegs an der Ostseite die Pillbox an den Mains of Cults eingerichtet, welche die Brücke überblickt.

Knocklearoch

Knocklearoch, auch Knocklerach, ist eine kleine Streusiedlung auf der schottischen Insel Islay und liegt somit in der Council Area Argyll and Bute beziehungsweise der traditionellen schottischen Grafschaft Argyllshire. Sie liegt etwa einen Kilometer südlich von Ballygrant und fünf Kilometer südwestlich des Fährhafens Port Askaig. Zwei Kilometer südlich befand sich die heute aufgegebene Ortschaft Aryghuary. Knocklearoch ist über eine Nebenstraße der A846 erreichbar. Knocklearoch besteht heute im Wesentlichen noch aus der teilweise denkmalgeschützten Knocklearoch Farm. Im Jahre 1841 wurden in Knocklearoch noch 67 Personen gezählt. Im Zensus des Jahres 1851 ist Knocklearoch nicht mehr aufgeführt. Die ehemaligen Einwohner finden sich in verschiedenen Ortschaften der Insel wieder. Dies könnte auf eine Räumung von Knocklearoch im Zuge der Highland Clearances hindeuten. Umgebung Südlich des Bauernhofs stehen zwei etwa 2,4 m voneinander entfernte Menhire. Beide besitzen dreieckige Grundflächen mit Kantenlängen von 150 × 90 × 65 cm beziehungsweise 80 × 80 × 70 cm. Beide sind leicht geneigt und würden bei aufrechtem Stand 1,95 m beziehungsweise 1,7 m hoch aufragen. In der Nähe von Knochlearoch Farm wurde einst eine Bleimine betrieben. Der exakte Ort ist nicht bekannt. Die Grundmauern der verfallenen Gebäude der Minenarbeiter sind noch in der Umgebung des Bauernhofes zu finden. Einzelnachweise
Knockhall Castle

Knockhall Castle ist eine Burgruine in der Nähe von Newburgh in Aberdeenshire, Schottland. Die Ruine ist als Scheduled Monument denkmalgeschützt. Geschichte Die Burg wurde 1565 von Lord Sinclair of Newburgh an der Mündung des Flusses Ythan als Wohnturm errichtet. Im 17. Jahrhundert gelangte sie in den Besitz des Clan Udny, der Knockhall Castle im Jahr 1634 bezog. 1639 wurde die Burg beschädigt, als es vom Earl Marischal für die Covenanters genommen wurde. Diese Besetzung war allerdings zeitlich begrenzt, so dass die Burgs wieder an den Clan Udny zurückging. Dieser bewohnte Knockhall Castle bis zur Zerstörung durch ein Feuer im Jahr 1734. Der Clan zog wieder in seinen ursprünglichen Herrschaftssitz Udny Castle und gab Knockhall Castle endgültig auf. Die Mauern befinden sich heute noch in gutem Zustand und lassen erahnen, wie die Burg zu ihrer Blütezeit aussah. Einzelnachweise Weblinks
Knockhall Castle

Knockhall Castle is a 16th-century ruined Scottish castle near Newburgh, Aberdeenshire. Built by William Sinclair, 5th Lord Sinclair, it is designated a scheduled monument. History The castle was built by William Sinclair, 5th Lord Sinclair of Newburgh and completed sometime in 1565. James VI stayed on 9 July 1589. There is a stone door lintel carved with the date '1589’ in commemoration of the royal visit. John Sinclair, 10th Lord Sinclair sold the castle to Clan Udny in 1634. The building was damaged in 1639 when taken by the Earl Marischal for the Covenanters, but was later returned to Udny hands. The Clan occupied the castle until 1734, when an accidental fire caused extensive damage to the building. The Clan then moved back into their other property, Udny Castle. Jamie Fleeman, the Laird of Udny's fool, is credited with saving the life of the family in the fire. Architecture Knockhall Castle is an L-plan tower house of three storeys with an attic. The ground floor was vaulted and contained service rooms, while the Great Hall occupied the first floor. In the 17th century the castle was altered, including the addition of a projecting tower and the enlargement of windows. Later history Reports in late 2019 indicated that the castle was for sale but redevelopment would require planning permission.

Castelo Knockhall

O Castelo Knockhall (em inglês: Knockhall Castle) é um castelo histórico escocês, situado próximo de Newburgh, em Aberdeenshire. História O castelo foi construído por William Sinclair, 5.º Lorde Sinclair de Newburgh, e concluído em algum momento de 1565. Jaime VI hospedou-se no castelo a 9 de julho de 1589. Há uma lintel de pedra na porta esculpida com a data “1589”, em comemoração da visita real. John Sinclair, 10.º Lorde Sinclair, vendeu o castelo ao Clã Udny em 1634. O edifício sofreu danos em 1639, quando foi ocupado pelo Conde Marischal em favor dos Covenanters, mas mais tarde regressou às mãos dos Udny. O clã ocupou o castelo até 1734, quando um incêndio acidental provocou danos extensos no edifício. O clã mudou-se então de volta para a sua outra propriedade, o Castelo Udny. Jamie Fleeman, o bobo do Laird de Udny, é creditado por ter salvo a vida da família durante o incêndio. O castelo permanece em ruínas até hoje e está classificado como monumento marcado. Relatórios de finais de 2019 indicaram que o castelo estava à venda, embora qualquer requalificação exigisse autorização de planeamento. Referências
Brechin Town House

Brechin Town House is a municipal structure in the High Street in Brechin, Angus, Scotland. The structure, which was used as a museum from 2003 to 2023, is a Category B listed building. History The first municipal building in the town was a tolbooth which was erected on the current site and dated back at least to the first half of the 15th century. The ground floor was used as a prison and the first floor accommodated the burgh council chamber: it was replaced by a town house in the late 17th century. It was at the mercat cross in front of this building that James Maule, 4th Earl of Panmure proclaimed James Francis Edward Stuart, known as the "Old Pretender", as King James VIII during the Jacobite rising of 1715. By the 1780s, the old town house had become dilapidated, and the burgh council decided to demolish it and build a new town house, financed by public subscription, on the same site: major contributors included the member of parliament, Sir David Carnegie, 4th Baronet. Construction works on the new building started in spring 1789. It was designed in the Italianate style, built by a local contractor, George Scott, in sandstone at a cost of £629 and was completed in 1790. The building cost more than was originally budgeted and the local guild was given naming rights over the building, which became known as the "Guildhall of Brechin", in return for paying for the extra cost. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with a single large bay facing onto the High Street; it originally featured three square headed windows on the ground floor and a Venetian window on the first floor. The structure was surmounted by a pediment with a clock in the tympanum. At roof level there was a rectangular cupola with Doric order columns supporting an ogee-shaped roof. Internally, the principal room was the assembly hall which featured a coved ceiling and pilasters designed in the style of William Adam. There were prison cells on the ground floor but, after a more substantial prison was completed in Southesk Street in 1844, the cells were converted for use as offices for the local police force. The building continued to serve as the headquarters of the borough council for the rest of the 19th century but ceased to be the local seat of government when the municipal offices were established in Bank Street in 1900. The building was subsequently converted for retail use with a modern shopfront being installed in the early 20th century: by the start of the First World War the building was operating as a bakery and confectionery shop. A small museum, which brought together local history artefacts previously held in the local mechanics' institute and in the local library, was established in the town house in 2003. Items on display included a model of the town in 1820 and dioramas depicting a priest in Brechin Cathedral and a petty criminal in one of the town house cells. After the managers, Angus Alive, handed the museum back to the local council, the museum closed in October 2023. See also List of listed buildings in Brechin, Angus References
Macduff Town Hall

Macduff Town Hall is a municipal building in Shore Street, Macduff, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The structure, which was the meeting place of Macduff Burgh Council, is a Category B listed building. History The first municipal building in Macduff was an early 19th century townhouse in Shore Street. Following significant population growth, largely associated with the fishing industry, the town became a police burgh in 1853. In the 1880s, the police commissioners decided to demolish the old townhouse and erect a new building in its place. The new building was designed by John Bridgeford Pirie and Arthur Clyne in the Scottish baronial style, built in ashlar stone and completed in 1885. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with three bays facing onto Shore Street; the central bay, which slightly projected forward, featured a doorway with a fanlight on the ground floor, a sash window on the first floor and a Diocletian window with a blind oculus above at attic level. The central bay was flanked at attic level by bartizans with conical-shaped roofs and surmounted with a gable containing a carving of a knight on horseback. The outer bays featured pairs of round headed windows on the ground floor, oriel windows on the first floor and gabled dormer windows at attic level. The carving of a knight on horseback was a reproduction of an image which had been carved on the local market cross when it was erected in 1783. Internally, the principal rooms were the council chamber and the main assembly hall. The town was advanced to the status of small burgh with the town hall as its headquarters in 1930. The building 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 Banff and Buchan District Council was formed in 1975. The town hall continued to function as an events venue and performers on tour in the 1990s included the celtic music band The Boys of the Lough. The town hall has also seen important political events: on 6 May 1999, in the first elections to the Scottish Parliament, Alex Salmond spent much of the night at the town hall with his wife, Moira, before being elected Member of the Scottish Parliament for Banff and Buchan.

Nevay Church

Nevay Church is a ruined 16th century parish church located near the village of Kirkinch in Angus, Scotland. Originally dedicated to St Neveth, a church has been recorded at this site since the 14th century; however, a round-headed cross-slab found in the church, and now displayed in the Meffan Institute, Forfar, suggests an earlier origin. The building and surrounding cemetery are designated a scheduled monument. Nevay church was abandoned in 1835 when a newer church was built to serve both the Eassie and Nevay Parishes. Description The church is located near the village of Kirkinch, Angus, 150 m (490 ft) east of the Kirkinch Burn. It stands on a raised oval platform and is surrounded by a walled cemetery. Nevay Church is rectangular in design, measuring 16.3 m (53 ft) x 5.6 m (18 ft). Inside the church, adjacent to the north and south walls are several stone artefacts including gravestones and masonry rubble. The church was constructed in coursed rubble of red and grey sandstone. The gables remain at their original height, and the north and south walls range in height from 1 m (3 ft 3 in) to 2 m (6 ft 7 in). A round-headed arched doorway and small arched window in the west gable may medieval in origin, possibly brought from another location. The south wall contains two doorways now blocked by gravestones. There is a surviving small window set between the two blocked doors. History The church of Nevay (dedicated to St Neveth) is on record in the 14th century, and the adjoining burial ground dates to the medieval era. The present structure was built in the late 16th century. The parish of Nevay joined with the parish of Eassie to become one parish in 1660. The lintel of one of the doorwways is engraved with the date 1695. A gravestone built into the church's walls is dated 1597. Around 1835, a new church named the Eassie and Nevay Parish Church was built near the village of Nevay. The old Nevay church was abandoned soon after. The remains of Nevay Church were designated a scheduled monument in 1971 and the surrounding cemetery was added in 2017. The monument consists of the remains of Nevay Church and its burial grounds, excluding the boundary walls. References

Craignish Castle

Craignish Castle ist eine ehemalige Burg und Landhaus bei Ardfern in der schottischen Council Area Argyll and Bute. Das Bauwerk ist als Denkmal der Kategorie B eingestuft. Die ursprüngliche Burg wurde Anfang des 16. Jahrhunderts errichtet und bestand im Wesentlichen aus einem schlichten Tower House mit einer Grundfläche von 12,7 × 10,2 Metern, das auf freistehendem Felsen errichtet wurde. 1510 ist Ranald MacCallum als erblicher Keeper von Craignish Castle belegt. Lairds der feudalen Baronie Craignish war seit dem 12. Jahrhundert das jeweilige Oberhaupt einer Nebenlinie des Clan Campbell (Campbells of Craignish and Jura). 1544 fiel Craignish an Archibald Campbell, 4. Earl of Argyll, den Chief der Hauptlinie der Clan Campbell. Die Burg soll einer sechswöchigen Belagerung durch Colkitto MacDonald (1570–1647) standgehalten haben. Um 1837 wurde das Tower House vom Architekten David Bryce (1803–1876) zu einem Landsitz im Scottish-Baronial-Stil ausgebaut um Anbauten erweitert. Vermutlich in den 1850er Jahren wurde Craignish Castle an Frederick Charles Trench-Gascoigne (1814–1905) und seine Gattin Mary Isabella Oliver-Gascoigne (1810–1891) verkauft. Isabella hatte 1843 als Teilerbin der Familie Gascoigne das Anwesen Parlington Hall in Yorkshire geerbt. 1941 wurde Craignish Castle als Heim für aus Glasgow evakuierte Kinder requiriert. In der Folgezeit wurde Craignish Castle renoviert und ein Teil der Anbauten sowie runinöse Reste von Wehranlagen abgerissen. Craignish Castle besteht heute aus dem Tower House sowie einem dreigeschossigen Anbau. Es ist heute in Apartments aufgeteilt, die sich in privater Hand befinden.
