Fettercairn distillery

Fettercairn distillery is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky distillery in Fettercairn. Situated under the Grampian foothills in the Howe of Mearns, Fettercairn town’s name is loosely based on the phrase "the foot of the mountain". The distillery is operated by Whyte & Mackay, which Philippines-based Alliance Global owns. History Fettercairn Distillery was founded in 1824 by Alexander Ramsay, owner of the Fasque estate, who converted a corn mill at Nethermill into a distillery. After losing his fortune, Alexander was forced to sell the estate to the Gladstone family in 1829. John Gladstone’s son William Gladstone, went on to become Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer and was instrumental in passing various reforms on the taxation of whisky. In 1887, a fire forced the distillery to close for some time. Fettercairn was sold by the Gladstone family to Ross & Coulter in 1924. Ross & Coulter sold it Associated Scottish Distilleries in 1939. In 1973 Whyte & Mackay acquired Fettercairn distillery and it has remained with the company since. Emblems The arch and the unicorn are two symbols that are heavily associated with Fettercairn. The unicorn is said to stand for purity and strength and has been a symbol of Scotland since the reign of King Robert III. It is also used within the Ramsay clan crest, of which the founder Alexander Ramsay brought with him to the distillery. The Fettercairn arch dominates the entrance to the town and was built to commemorate a visit by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1861. This symbol has also been used in the design and logo of Fettercairn malts. Products Fettercairn is a pure spirit which is crafted by its unique stills and forged through temperate maturation. Within its process, the distillery uses a unique irrigator ring that surrounds the stills which drenches the still to deliver only the purest spirit. In recent years, they have been experimenting with flavours from wood charring, with whisky aged in barrels made from locally sourced oaks.

Fettercairn (distillerie)

Fettercairn, également connue sous le nom de Old Fettercairn, est une distillerie de whisky située dans le village de Fettercairn dans l'Aberdeenshire en Écosse. Histoire La distillerie a été fondée en 1824 par Sir Alexander Ramsay et fut la seconde - après Glenlivet - à obtenir une licence officielle. Après avoir presque entièrement brûlée, elle fut reconstruite entre 1887 et 1890. Elle connut ensuite plusieurs propriétaires successifs avant d'être mise en sommeil entre 1926 et 1939, date à laquelle elle fut rachetée par National Distillers of America via leurs filiales Train & McIntyre Ltd. et Associates Scottish Distillers. Elle reprit alors de l'activité et doubla le nombre de ses alambics en 1966, passant de deux à quatre. En 1971, elle fut finalement achetée par Tomintoul-Glenlivet Distillery Co Ltd. qui fut acquis deux ans plus tard par le groupe Whyte and Mackay Ltd. Gamme de produits La très grande majorité de la production de whisky de Fettercairn est destinée à des blends. Seuls 4 % sont vendus comme single malt, initialement vendu sous le nom de Old Fettercairn, avant de devenir simplement Fettercairn en 2002 à la suite d'un changement de présentation.

Affleck Castle

Affleck Castle (auch Auchenleck Castle) ist ein Wohnturm etwa 1,6 km westlich des Dorfes Monikie in der schottischen Council Area Angus. Historic Scotland hat das Gebäude mit L-förmigem Grundriss als Scheduled Monument gelistet. Geschichte Affleck Castle wurde auf dem Land der Auchenlecks errichtet. Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts gehörte es der Familie Reid, den die Burg 1746 wegen ihrer Aktivitäten in der Bewegung der Jakobiten aberkannt wurde. Bis 1760, als ein neues Landhaus gebaut wurde, war sie nicht mehr bewohnt. Beschreibung Affleck Castle ist ein gut erhaltener, freistehender Wohnturm mit vier Stockwerken und einem Dachgeschoss mit Brüstung. Er ist 18 Meter hoch und hat dicke Mauern aus Bruchstein, in denen sich etliche Kammern befinden. Ein paar Stufen unterhalb des Eingangs befindet sich der Keller, der in verschiedene Räume aufgeteilt ist. Der Rittersaal im Erdgeschoss hat eine Gewölbedecke, die zugleich Boden des Salons ist. Über dem Haupttreppenhaus befindet sich ein Mezzaninschlafraum, fast 2,1 Meter × 2,1 Meter groß, den man über eine 11-Stufige Treppe in der Ostmauer (vom Rittersaal aus) erreichen kann. Der Salon hat einen Spion zum Rittersaal darunter. Durch ihn kann man jeden beobachten, der sich zur Haupttreppe begibt. Der Raum besitzt Fensterbanksitze, Mauerkammern und einen offenen Kamin. Ein Stockwerk nach oben von diesem Raum aus kommt man zu ein rundes Oratorium, das mit Tabernakel, Piscina, Weihwasserbecken und steinernen Kerzenhaltern ausgestattet ist. Dieser Raum hat ebenfalls eine Gewölbedecke. In jedem Obergeschosse befindet sich ein Schlafraum. In einem Fortsatz an der Tür mit einem quadratischen Caphouse befindet sich die Treppe.

Affleck Castle

Affleck Castle, also known as Auchenleck Castle, is a tall L-plan tower house dating from the 15th century, 4 miles (6.4 km) north of Monifieth and 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Monikie Parish Church, Angus, Scotland. It is a scheduled monument. It is not open to the public. History The castle was built on the lands of the Auchenlecks of that Ilk held since 1471. From the mid-17th century it belonged to a family of Reids, who forfeited the castle in 1746 because of their activities as Jacobites. It has not been occupied since 1760, when a new mansion was built. Structure Affleck Castle is a well-preserved free-standing rectangular tower of four storeys and a parapeted garret. It is 60 feet (18 m) tall, and has thick rubble walls, with several mural rooms. A few steps down from the entrance is the basement, which is sub-divided. The hall, which is on the first floor, has a vaulted ceiling; this supports a withdrawing room. Above the main staircase is an entresol bedroom, almost 7 feet (2.1 m) square, reached by an eleven-step staircase in the east wall. The stairs lead from the hall. The withdrawing room has a spy-hole into the hall below. This would have allowed all movement to the main turnpike stair to be observed. The room has window seats, wall closets, and a shafted fireplace. A step up from this room leads to a circular oratory, equipped with aumbry, piscine, holy-water stoup and stone candle-holders. This room is also vaulted. There is a bedroom in each of the upper floors. A projection by the door, with a square cap-house, houses the stair, and there is a square turret over the south-west angle. There are two devices for dropping missiles or liquids on attackers: one over the arched door; and the other on the west front, while the ground floor is equipped with gun loops. References

Greenan Castle

Greenan Castle is a 16th-century ruined tower house, around 2+1⁄2 miles (4 kilometres) southwest of Ayr in South Ayrshire, Scotland. Situated at the top of a sea cliff, it was originally a promontory fort converted into a motte-and-bailey in the 12th century. In the 15th century a tower house was built by the Lords of the Isles, which later passed into the hands of the Kennedy family. History The lands of Greenan were forfeited by John, Earl of Ross and Lord of the Isles in 1476 for treason against James III. In 1493 James IV granted the Lands of Greenan to William Douglas, son of Archibald, Earl of Angus. The first known defensive structure on the site was a promontory fort, probably a fortified farmstead, enclosing around 1 acre (0.4 hectares). Four concentric curved ditches, each around 3 metres (10 ft) wide, cut off the headland with the exception of a single causeway to provide access. It is not known how long this settlement was occupied, but the site was re-used in the twelfth century. Beside the tower are traces of a walled courtyard and outbuildings—probably stables and a kitchen block, as the small tower has no kitchen within its walls. In this courtyard on the morning of 12 May 1602, Sir Thomas Kennedy of Culzean and his servant, Lancelot Kennedy, mounted their horses to ride to Edinburgh, having spent the night before with Thomas's half-brother, John Kennedy of Baltersan. Just a few miles away in the woods of St Leonards (now a suburb of Ayr), they were ambushed by Thomas Kennedy (of Drummurchie), Thomas Kennedy (brother to the Laird of Bargany), Walter Muir of Cloncaird, Thomas M'Alexander, Thomas Wallace, a boy called Gilbert Ramsay and a borderer, Williame Irrwing. Sir Thomas was murdered in retaliation for the death of the young Laird of Bargany in December, 1601 at the Battle of Brockloch, near Maybole. Years later, the Muirs of Auchindrain (father and son) were executed for their "art and part" in this murder. The story inspired Sir Walter Scott to write a short play, "An Ayrshire Tragedy". The castle passed through various members of the clan before ending up in the hands of Thomas Kennedy, Earl of Cassillis in 1766. Around this time the residential use of the castle seems to have stopped; today the structure is a ruin. Notable features The entrance lintel has the inscription, JK 1603 FND, for John Kennedy of Baltersan and his third wife, Florence NickDowall, who held the lands, Greenan Mill, and salmon fishing rights on the River Doon at that time.

Castelo Greenan

O Castelo Greenan (em inglês: Greenan Castle) é um castelo do século XVII atualmente em ruínas localizado em Maybole, South Ayrshire, Escócia. História Cartas mostram que Roger de Scalebroc manteve o castelo em 1190, sendo que neste período a estrutura provavelmente seria do tipo motte and bailey. Alguma notas referem que o castelo foi erigido por John Kennedy de Baltersan em 1603 (as iniciais J K e 1603 aparecem por cima duma das portas), contudo existiu um forte no mesmo lugar em que o trabalho de pedra, sugere ser do início do século XVII. Foi propriedade da família Davidson no século XV e passou para os Kennedy em 1588. O 'Castell of the Grenand' é descrito por Abercrummie (Macfarlane 1907) como 'uma grande casa... com algum trabalho novo acrescentado, mas nunca acabado'. Encontra-se classificado na categoria "B" do "listed building" desde 14 de abril de 1971. Estrutura Mede 10 metros por 8 metros e possui quatro pisos.

Newark Castle (Fife)

For alternative betydninger, se Newark Castle. (Se også artikler, som begynder med Newark Castle) Newark Castle er ruinerne af en middelalderborg lige uden for byen St Monans, på østkysten af regionen Fife i Skotland. Bygningen stammer sandsynligvis fra 1200-tallet, hvor den skotske kong Alexander 3. (1241 - 1286) tilbragte en del af sin barndom her. Siden gennemgik borgen flere ombygninger, og de nuværende ruiner stammer sandsynligvis fra en ombygning under David Leslies ejerskab i 1600-tallet og Sandilands-familien, som ejede det siden 1400-tallet via et ægteskab. Leslie var en prominent i den engelske og skotske brogerkrig. Han blev lord Newark efter krigene. Sir William Burrell, der var skibsmagnat og samler af kunst og antikviteter, fattede interesse for borgen i 1800-tallet, og sir Robert Lorimer lavede en plan for restaureringen, men den blev aldrig fuldført, da ejeren, Mr. Baird fra Elie, ikke ønskede at sælge. Borgen har været kendt under flere navne: Inverie, St Monans og St Monance, hvoraf sidstnævnte er den middelalderlige form af St Monan's.

Newark Castle (St Monans)

Newark Castle, auch Inverie Castle oder St Monance Castle, ist die Ruine einer Spornburg auf einer Landspitze etwa 1 km westlich des Dorfes St Monans an der Küste der schottischen Council Area Fife. Geschichte Die Burg stammt vermutlich aus dem 13. Jahrhundert, da der nachmalige König Alexander III. als Kind einige Zeit hier verbracht hat. Aus dieser ersten Bauphase sind noch Teile des Gewölbekellers ganz im Süden des Geländes vorhanden, die allerdings keinen Anhaltspunkt für eine Datierung bieten. Im 16. Jahrhundert erfolgte eine Erweiterung des Blocks nach Norden mit einem Rundturm an der Nordostecke. In der dritten Bauphase wurde Ende des 16. Jahrhunderts auf dem Erdgeschoss aus der zweiten Bauphase ein Haus errichtet, das einen Treppenturm zum Hof hatte. Ebenfalls wurden die Kellerräume abgeändert. Diese Arbeiten wurden im Auftrag des damaligen Eigners, der Familie Sandilands, durchgeführt, die die Burg im 15. Jahrhundert durch Heirat erworben hatten. In einer vierten Bauphase im ausgehenden 17. Jahrhundert wurden Haus und Turm um ein Stockwerk erhöht und der Hof durch eine Mauer geteilt. Vermutlich wurde diese Bauphase vom damaligen Besitzer, David Leslie, beauftragt. David Leslie machte sich englischen Bürgerkrieg und in den Kriegen der drei Königreiche einen Namen und wurde anschließend 1661 zum Lord Newark erhoben. Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts zeigte sich der bekannte Reeder und Kunstsammler Sir William Burrell aus Glasgow an der Burgruine interessiert. Er beauftragte Sir Robert Lorimer mit einem Plan für die Restaurierung, aber der damalige Eigner der Anwesens, ein Herr Baird aus Elie, wollte nicht verkaufen. Teile der Burg waren noch bis ins 19. Jahrhundert bewohnt. Der Turm wurde auf der Seite des Hauses angeschnitten, um mehr Wohnraum zu erlangen. Dies führte Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts zum Einsturz der Nordmauer des Turms. Küstenerosion sorgte im Laufe der letzten Jahrzehnte für weitere Zerstörungen. Beschreibung Der Rundturm hatte fünf Stockwerke und ein Kellergeschoss. Er hatte einen Durchmesser von 7,5 Metern und seine Mauern waren bis zu 2,2 Meter dick, ihre Dicke nahm aber nach oben hin ab. In der Ost- und Westmauer des Kellers befanden sich runde Öffnungen, die in einem Graben führten, der aber später verfüllt wurde. Die Öffnungen in den Mauern des Turms wurden bei den zahlreichen Umbauten mehrfach verändert. Eine Küche mit großer, offener Feuerstelle wurde später in den Nordteil des östlichen Erdgeschosses eingebaut. Den Boden der Küche bildete gewachsener Fels. Im 1. Obergeschoss befand sich der Rittersaal. Er lag direkt über der Küche und hatte eine Fläche von 6,2 Meter (in Nord-Süd-Richtung) × 5 Meter (in Ost-West-Richtung). Der Saal hatte zwei offene Kamine, einen direkt über dem der Küche, der andere, viel kleinere, an der Südwand. Im Süden und Westen des Hauptgebäudes gab es einen, durch eine Kurtine gebildeten Hof. Die Ruine von Newark Castle gilt als Scheduled Monument. Einzelnachweise Weblinks
Newark Castle, Fife

Newark Castle is a ruin located just west of St Monans, on the east coast of Fife, Scotland. The building, built in the 15th century, stands in a dramatic location, overlooking the North Sea. The upper storeys are ruinous, but vaulted cellars survive, hidden from view. History The current building was begun in the 15th century by the Kinloch family. It then passed, through marriage, to the Sandilands of Cruivie, who sold it in 1649 David Leslie. Leslie was a prominent figure in the English and Scottish Civil Wars, becoming Lord Newark after the wars. Following Leslie's death in 1682, the castle passed to the Anstruther family, and finally to the Bairds of Elie. The castle attracted the attention of Sir William Burrell, the Glasgow shipping magnate and collector of art and antiques, in the late 19th century when Sir Robert Lorimer produced a plan for its restoration. The scheme never went ahead as the owner of the site, a Mr Baird of Elie, refused to sell. The castle has been known by several names, including Inverie, St Monans and St Monance (the latter being a mediaeval form of the possessive St Monan's). It has been designated by Historic Environment Scotland, together with its associated dovecote, as a scheduled monument.

Bass Castle

Bass Castle is a castle on Bass Rock located off the coast of North Berwick, Scotland. History The current structure dates back to the sixteenth century. However, a castle on the Bass rock has been referred to as early as 1405, when the castle was said to have been a temporary refuge for Prince James from the Duke of Albany. The oldest building was thought to a hermitage built by Baldred of Tyninghame, and the chapel is known to have been consecrated in 1542 by David Beaton. The castle was described by the French soldier Jean de Beaugué who visited during the war now known as the Rough Wooing. He wrote that the garrison of 120 subsisted on fish dropped by sea birds. The castle and island were owned by the Lauders of Bass in the sixteenth century until 1671, when it was sold to the Crown until 1706, when it was finally passed on to Sir Hew Dalrymple of North Berwick. The Lauder family are said to have owned Bass Rock since 1318. In the mid-late seventeenth century, the island and a small room in the castle were used as a prison. From 1701, Bass Rock was no longer used as a prison and it is said that the castle was partially demolished in the same year. Royal history The castle has been visited by many historic figures including James VI in 1581. He offered to buy the island from George Lauder, but his offer was declined. Modern history The castle is currently a ruin, with only some of the original walls remaining. A lighthouse was built on top of it in 1902. References
