Downfield F.C.

Downfield Football Club are a Scottish junior football club based in the Downfield area of Dundee. Their home ground is Downfield Park. History The club's nickname, "The Spiders", comes from the same term applied to Queen's Park, due to Downfield playing in the same narrow black-and-white hooped strips as Scotland's oldest club. When Downfield were first founded, Queen's donated a set of strips to them to assist with the start-up. Downfield Park is situated in the Kirkton area of Dundee. The far side has a covered enclosure named after Eric Clark, a long-serving committee member now deceased. The south side of the ground contains the club's Social Club, incorporating the changing facilities. The west end has recently seen a flattening of the earth banking at that end, with a view to eventual construction of new facilities. The ground also occasionally plays host to Tayside Police's football side. From 2017, Downfield have groundshared Downfield Park with Lochee Harp whilst their new ground went through development, and plan to leave in late 2020. Up until the end of the 2005–06 season, they played in the Tayside Premier League of the Scottish Junior Football Association's Eastern Region. The SJFA restructured prior to the 2006–07 season, and Downfield found themselves in the twelve-team East Region, North Division. They finished third in their first season in the division. Downfield became the East Region, North Division champions in 2010–11. In terms of all-time trophy records, Downfield are second only to Tayport in the Tayside / North District roll of honour. The Scottish Junior Cup, along with the more recently created East Region Cup and Tayside/Fife Cup are the only honours to elude the club. The Spiders side which won the Tayside League three times in a row at the end of the 1980s is generally considered to be the best footballing side in Tayside's recent history. Due to the mass exodus of teams from the SJFA's East Region to the East of Scotland Football League after the 2017–18 season, Downfield were placed into the SJFA East Super League for the 2018–19 season, finishing 11th place that season. After further defections to the EoSFL causing the East Super League to be split into divisions, the Spiders managed to get up to 4th place in the Super League North in 2019–20 season, before it being abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 2021 takeover In 2021, the club announced a takeover from Peter and Paul Marr, with a new committee led by David Beveridge to lead the club forward.

Dr Gray’s Hospital

Dr Gray’s Hospital ist ein Krankenhaus in der schottischen Kleinstadt Elgin in der Council Area Moray. 1981 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Geschichte Der Chirurg Alexander Gray verstarb im Juli 1807. Als Arzt bei der Ostindien-Kompanie hatte er ein beträchtliches Vermögen angehäuft. In einem innerfamiliär umstrittenen Testament stellte Gray 20.000 £ zum Bau eines Krankenhauses für verarmte Personen der Lokalbevölkerung zur Verfügung. Nachdem sämtliche gerichtlichen Anfechtungen des Testaments im Jahre 1814 abgeschmettert waren, wurde auf Empfehlung des Earls of Moray der schottische Architekt James Gillespie Graham mit der Planung des Krankenhauses betraut. Die Grundsteinlegung im Juni 1815 wurde angeblich durch die Vermeldung Wellingtons Sieg in der Schlacht bei Waterloo unterbrochen. Am 1. Januar 1819 wurde Dr Gray’s Hospital eröffnet. Die 30 Betten standen zunächst jenen Bürgern Morays offen, die eine Bedürftigkeitsbestätigung ihres lokalen Geistlichen vorweisen konnten. Das heute vom NHS verwaltete Krankenhaus wurde im Laufe der 1990er Jahre modernisiert. Im ersten Bauabschnitt, der im Mai 1995 abgeschlossen wurde, wurden neue chirurgische, orthopädische, gynäkologische und pädiatrische Stationen sowie eine Geburtshilfestation eingerichtet. Der zweite Bauabschnitt wurde im Januar 1997 fertiggestellt. Er umfasste eine psychiatrische Station, die Unfall- und Notaufnahme sowie eine Abteilung für bildgebende Untersuchungen. Die ursprünglichen Gebäude wurden in einer dritten, ebenfalls 1997 abgeschlossenen Bauphase modernisiert. Das Gesamtvolumen belief sich auf 22 Mio. £. 2012 wurden für eine erneute Erweiterung Mittel in Höhe von 3 Mio £ zur Verfügung gestellt. Weitere 1,7 Mio £ wurden 2020 bereitgestellt. Beschreibung Dr Gray’s Hospital steht abseits der A96 westlich des Zentrums von Elgin. Sein historisches Hauptgebäude ist klassizistisch ausgestaltet. Die nordostexponierte Hauptfassade des dreigeschossigen Gebäudes ist neun Achsen weit und durch kolossale Pilaster vertikal gegliedert. Das Mauerwerk besteht aus Steinquadern, die zu einem Schichtenmauerwerk verbaut wurden. Zentral tritt ein tetrastyler dorischer Portikus mit wuchtigem Gebälk heraus. Das zentrale Hauptportal mit segmentbogigem Kämpferfenster ist über eine kurze Vortreppe zugänglich. Es sind zwölfteilige Sprossenfenster eingelassen. Die Fassade schließt mit einem Kranzgesimse mit aufsitzender Steinbalustrade. Auf der Zentralachse ragt ein oktogonaler Turm mit vier Turmuhren auf. Der aufsitzende Zylinder ist mit blinden Okuli ausgeführt und schließt mit einer kupfernen Kuppel.

Dr Gray's Hospital

Dr. Gray's Hospital is a district general hospital in Elgin, Moray, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Grampian. History The hospital was founded as a result of a bequest by Alexander Gray (d. 1807), who was born in Elgin but worked as a surgeon for the East India Company. His will was contested by his family, but eventually his bequest of £20,000 'for the establishment of a hospital in the town of Elgin for the sick and poor of the county of Murray (Moray)' was proven in the Court of Chancery. The hospital was designed by James Gillespie Graham, featuring a large classical block with giant Doric columns that supported a portico and was topped with drum tower and dome. Work on building the hospital at the western end of the town's High Street started in 1815 and the hospital opened on 1 January 1819, providing 30 beds that could be used for any parishioner of Moray who could produce a note of recommendation from their local minister of the established church. Often those of the Episcopalian or Catholic faith were turned away, causing conflict with the Burgh council on a number of occasions. Some patients who required urgent assistance were sent home critically ill lacking the paperwork from the Kirk minister, ultimately causing their death. A £22 million redevelopment of the hospital took place between 1992 and 1997 and included extensive refurbishment of existing facilities. The first stage, completed in May 1995, created a new complex for obstetrics, gynaecology and paediatric services, three new operating theatres and five new lifts. In January 1997 the second stage of redevelopment was completed, adding a new acute psychiatric ward and a new accident and emergency building. A sensory garden was opened in 2010 to provide patients, visitors and staff with an attractive place to relax. In 2012 a further £3 million redevelopment project commenced. The work, which included a new reception area, a rehabilitation ward, children's outpatient area and discharge lounge, was completed in 2013. Services Dr Gray's Hospital has 185 inpatient beds. It delivers approximately 1,100 births per year and has had full accreditation as baby friendly since May 2012. References External links Official site
Dreghorn Barracks

Dreghorn Barracks are located in Edinburgh, Scotland. The barracks are situated at the southern edge of the city, south of Colinton, and adjacent to the Edinburgh City Bypass. History The site was previously occupied by Dreghorn Castle, a 17th-century mansion built by Sir William Murray, Master of Work to the Crown of Scotland. The castle was extended around 1805 by Archibald and James Elliot. In the 19th century it was the home of Robert Andrew Macfie. The castle was acquired by the War Office in 1893, and was eventually demolished in 1955. A monument outside the barracks on Redford Road commemorates the insurgent covenanters of the Pentland Rising who were defeated at the Battle of Rullion Green in 1666. The monument was erected in 1884 by R A Macfie of Dreghorn House, and incorporates columns taken from the 18th-century Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, designed by William Adam and demolished the previous year. The present barracks complex was largely built between 1937 and 1939 to designs by William Alexander Ross. The barracks were upgraded between 1989 and 1992, with the addition of several new buildings. The four original buildings are protected as a category C(s) listed building. As part of the Future Force 2020 budgetary announcement in July 2011, RAF Kirknewton was to have been developed into a major Army base to host a Multi-Role Brigade and Dreghorn Barracks was earmarked for disposal. However plans to develop Kirknewton as an Army barracks were scrapped in March 2013 and Dreghorn Barracks was retained. Dreghorn Barracks had 670 UK Armed Forces Service personnel based there at 1 January 2024. Current units Current units stationed at the barracks include: 3rd Battalion, The Rifles.

Dalmeny Street drill hall

The Dalmeny Street drill hall in Edinburgh, was built as a military drill hall in 1901, and between 2003 and 2010 was redeveloped as community arts and education centre under the name The Out of the Blue Drill Hall. The drill hall is protected as a category A listed building. History The drill hall was designed by Sir Robert Rowand Anderson as the headquarters of the 5th Volunteer Battalion Royal Scots (Lothian Regiment) and was completed in 1901. This unit evolved to become the 7th (Leith) Battalion, The Royal Scots in 1908. The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to Gallipoli. In 1915 the Gretna disaster, the worst crash in the history of British rail travel, killed 227 people and injured 246 others. 102 of those killed were young men from the 7th (Leith) Battalion of the Royal Scots, on their way to Liverpool, where they were to leave for Gallipoli. The bodies of the victims were laid out in the drill hall prior to burial in Rosebank Cemetery, across Leith Walk in Pilrig. The drill hall is therefore connected to one of the greatest tragedies to affect the community of Leith. The battalion amalgamated with the 9th Battalion to become the 7th/9th (Highlanders) Battalion, The Royal Scots, with its headquarters at the Dalmeny Street drill hall, in 1922. The drill hall was shared with 226 (City of Edinburgh) and 227 (Haddingtonshire) Medium Batteries (Howitzers) of the 57th (Lowland) Medium Brigade, Royal Artillery, which had been formed from the former 6th and 8th Battalions, Royal Scots. In 1938 the 7th/9th Battalion formed a new 8th Battalion as its duplicate. The 7th/9th Battalion and the 8th Battalion amalgamated to form the 8th/9th Battalion in 1961 and the 8th/9th Battalion was reduced to company size as A (Royal Scots) Company of the 52nd Lowland Volunteers, still at the Dalmeny Street drill hall, in 1967. This unit in turn evolved to become HQ (Royal Scots) Company, Lowland Volunteers. The 52nd Lowland Volunteers moved to the East Claremont Street drill hall, as A (Royal Scots) Company, 52nd Lowland Regiment, in 1999. Present use The Dalmeny Street drill hall was decommissioned and sold to the charity Out of the Blue Arts and Education Trust in 2003. The group, with the aid of City Architecture Office, transformed the drill hall into an arts and education centre. The centre, which was fully completed in 2010, incorporates a café, gallery space, artist studios, rehearsal rooms and performance spaces. As of 2019, the drill hall has been a venue in various cultural and arts festivals, including the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Leith Festival and the Forest Fringe and has hosted art installations, performances, markets, live music events, exhibitions and community forums for over a decade.

Drummond (hrad)

Hrad Drummond se nachází ve skotské správní oblasti Perth and Kinross. Je znám svými barokními terasovitými zahradami, díky kterým se hrad dostal na Zákonný seznam budov zvláštního architektonického nebo historického významu. Historie Území, na kterém se hrad Drummond rozkládá, patřilo už od 14. století skotskému klanu Drummondů. Kolem roku 1490 nechal sir John Drummond na tomto místě vystavět gotickou obytnou věž, rozšířenou v roce 1605 za sira Jamese Drummonda o obytný palác. Jeho mladší bratr John Drummond, druhý hrabě z Perthu, nechal mezi léty 1630–1636 zřídit první terasovitou zahradu. Slibný rozvoj šlechtického sídla zastavila anglická občanská válka (1642–1651), během níž byl hrad poškozen vojsky Olivera Cromwella. Obnova chátrající rezidence byla zahájena až koncem 80. let 17. století za Jamese Drummonda, prvního vévody z Perthu a čtvrtého hraběte z Perthu (1648–1716), který se během Slavné revoluce postavil na stranu katolického anglického krále Jakuba II. Stuarta. Poté, co byl Jakub II. z Anglie vyhnán svým zetěm Vilémem III. Oranžským, uprchl vévoda z Perthu do Francie, avšak jeho dědicové si hrad ve svém vlastnictví podrželi. Protože však Drummondové podporovali jakobitské hnutí, bylo jim jejich sídlo z rozhodnutí krále Jiřího II. v roce 1750 zkonfiskováno. Hrad byl poté až do roku 1784 pod dohledem královských správců. Zpět do rukou rodu Drummondů se sídlo dostalo v roce 1784, kdy jej odkoupil James Drummond, první baron z Perthu, který započal s opravami hradu i zahrad. V rekonstrukčních pracích pokračovali i jeho potomci z rodu Drummond-Willoughby. V roce 1842 byl Drummond navštíven britskou královnou Viktorií. Od konce 20. století jsou hrad i zahrady majetkem Jane Heathcote-Drummond-Willoughby, 28. baronky Willoughby de Eresby; hrad je, na rozdíl od zahrad, veřejnosti nepřístupný. Hrad ve filmu Roku 1995 se v areálu hradu Drummond natáčel britský historický film Rob Roy, kde Drummond představoval sídlo markýze Jamese Grahama (John Hurt). Zahrady se rovněž objevily ve druhé sérii amerického seriálu Cizinka (2016) v roli zahrad francouzského královského paláce ve Versailles.

Castello Drummond

Il castello Drummond (in inglese: Drummond Castle) è un castello situato su un rilievo roccioso nei pressi del villaggio scozzese di Crieff, nel Perthshire (Perth e Kinross), costruito per volere della famiglia Drummond a partire dal 1491 e rimodellato nella prima metà del XVII secolo. Storia La famiglia Drummond era divenuta proprietaria dei terreni su cui sorge il castello nel 1314. Fu quindi John Drummond, I Lord Drummond a volere, nel 1490-1491 circa, la costruzione della fortezza originaria. Tra il 1630 e il 1636, furono aggiunti dei giardini per volere di John Drummond, II conte di Perth; alla realizzazione partecipò anche John Reid, autore del primo libro di giardinaggio scozzese. Contemporaneamente l'antica fortezza medievale fu trasformata in un'elegante residenza. Nel 1653, dopo l'assedio di Cromwell, fu ricostruita la torre originaria. I giardini furono poi ampliati, con l'aggiunta di 4 file di alberi. Tuttavia, agli inizi del XVII secolo, dopo che nel 1715 il secondo duca di Perth era stato coinvolto nell'insurrezione giacobita, i giardini del castello erano caduti in rovina. Un'ampia opera di ristrutturazione dei giardini del castello Drummond fu quindi intrapresa agli inizi del XIX secolo sotto la supervisione di Lewis Kennedy, che aveva lavorato anche per la regina Giuseppina di Francia. I giardini vennero quindi visitati nel 1842 dalla regina Vittoria, che li definì "molto belli, come dei giardini francesi". Architettura Esterni Giardini I giardini del castello Drummond sono ornati da siepi di bosso, aiuole, alberi sagomati e statue classiche. Alcune aiuole disegnano lo stemma dei Drummond e la croce di Sant'Andrea.

Duchal House

Duchal House ist ein Herrenhaus nahe der schottischen Stadt Kilmacolm in Inverclyde. 1971 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Kategorie A aufgenommen. Geschichte Bereits seit dem 12. Jahrhundert waren die Ländereien von Duchal Standort herrschaftlicher Bauwerke. Wenige hundert Meter nordöstlich von Duchal House hebt sich ein 24 m durchmessender, künstlicher Hügel ab, der einst Standort einer Motte war. Von der hölzernen Burg sind heute nur noch Überreste zu finden. Das Bauwerk im anglo-normannischen Stil stammt aus dem 12. oder 13. Jahrhundert und ist seit 2011 als Scheduled Monument klassifiziert. Rund zwei Kilometer westlich des Herrenhauses entstand im 13. Jahrhundert eine stark befestigte, steinerne Burg namens Duchal Castle. Von dieser sind heute nur noch Fragmente erhalten, die ebenfalls als Scheduled Monument geschützt sind. Im Jahre 1710 entstand ein Haus am Standort von Duchal House. Im Rahmen der Bauarbeiten zu Duchal House im Jahre 1768 wurden wahrscheinlich Fragmente dieses Gebäudes in das neue Herrenhaus integriert. Bauherr war Boyd Porterfield of that ilk. 2006 wurden die Außenanlagen in das Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland aufgenommen. Beschreibung Duchal House liegt isoliert rund 1,5 Kilometer südlich von Kilmacolm inmitten eines weitläufigen Grundstücks. Es ist im Renaissancestil erbaut. Das zweistöckige Herrenhaus besitzt ein vollwertiges Untergeschoss. Die ostexponierte Vorderseite ist symmetrisch aufgebaut. Dorische Blendpfeiler flankieren den Eingangsbereich, den ein Dreiecksgiebel krönt. Die Gebäudekanten sind mit Ecksteinen abgesetzt. Rückwärtig geht ein Flügel rechtwinklig ab, der wahrscheinlich teilweise noch aus dem 1710 errichteten Haus stammt.

Duddingston House

Duddingston House is an 18th-century mansion in Edinburgh, Scotland, located south-east of the village of Duddingston. It was built in the 1760s for James Hamilton, 8th Earl of Abercorn, and was designed by Sir William Chambers. It is now protected as a category A listed building, and the grounds of the house are included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland, the national listing of significant gardens. History The lands of Duddingston were purchased by James Hamilton, 8th Earl of Abercorn (1712–1789), in 1745 from the Duke of Argyll. During the Jacobite rising of 1745, Bonnie Prince Charlie's cavalry camped in the park, before the Battle of Prestonpans. In 1760, Lord Abercorn commissioned Sir William Chambers (1723–1796) to design a modest new house, which was constructed between 1763 and 1768. The total cost of the house and pleasure grounds, laid out by Robert Robinson in the style of Capability Brown, was around £30,000. After Lord Abercorn's death in 1789, the estate passed to his heirs but the house was let. Its tenants were aristocratic including Francis Rawdon-Hastings, 1st Marquess of Hastings who rented the property for many years and held an infamous garden fete in June 1805 inviting 300 of the Scottish nobility. The Benhar Coal Mining Company bought a large part of the 1,500-acre (610 ha) estate in the 1880s, and in 1894 Duddingston Golf Club was developed in the grounds. Holyrood High School was built in the park in the 1960s, to the west of the house. Restoration By the 1950s the house was in poor repair, and in 1959 it was bought, along with 9 acres (3.6 ha), by a Mr E. Gladstone, who restored the house and opened it as a hotel in 1963. The house was again in disrepair in the 1980s. In the 1990s the stables and service block courtyard of the house were converted into town houses, while the main house was restored by the Burrell Company as offices.
