Ross Priory

Pross Priory ist ein Herrenhaus nahe der schottischen Stadt Gartocharn in der Council Area West Dunbartonshire. 1971 wurde das Gebäude in die schottische Denkmalliste in der höchsten Kategorie A aufgenommen. Geschichte Seit dem 14. Jahrhundert herrschte der Clan Buchanan über die Ländereien. Im Jahre 1695 errichtete dieser einen seiner Familiensitze am Standort des heutigen Herrenhauses. Die heutige Ross Priory entstammt einem Entwurf des Architekten James Gillespie Graham und wurde zwischen 1810 und 1816 erbaut. Hierbei wurden Elemente des alten Gebäudes in das neue Bauwerk integriert und dieses deutlich erweitert. 1817 verbrachte der Schriftsteller Walter Scott einige Zeit in dem Herrenhaus, wo er auch den Großteil seines Romans Rob Roy verfasste. Später erwarb der britische Major George Christie das Anwesen, der es wiederum an das Whiskyunternehmen Teacher’s veräußerte. Seit 1971 gehört das Gebäude zur Universität von Strathclyde. Es ist der Öffentlichkeit nicht zugänglich. Die zugehörige Parkanlage wird einmal jährlich für Besucher geöffnet. Beschreibung Die Ross Priory befindet sich westlich der Gemeinde Gartocharn am Südufer von Loch Lomond. Das zweistöckige, neogotische Herrenhaus weist einen länglichen Grundriss auf. Das Mauerwerk besteht aus honigfarbenem Sandstein. Das Gebäude ist symmetrisch aufgebaut mit einem ausladenden zentralen Eingangsbereich, der über eine geschwungene Treppe zugänglich ist. Drei hohe Rundbögen führen zu den Türen. Darüber befindet sich ein Vierlings-Lanzettfenster und eine Balustrade. Beidseitig des Eingangsbereiches sind Zwillings- und Drillingslanzettfenster auf jeweils drei vertikalen Achsen angeordnet. An den Gebäudekanten ragen schlanke, oktogonale Türme auf. An den anderen Gebäudeseiten werden im Wesentlichen die Elemente der ostexponierten Vorderseite aufgegriffen. An der Südseite grenzt ein niedrigerer Gebäudeteil aus rotem Sandstein an. Das Dach ist mit grauen Schieferschindeln eingedeckt.

Rossend Castle

Rossend Castle ist ein Landhaus in Burntisland, einer Kleinstadt an der Südküste der schottischen Council Area Fife. Geschichte Einen Donjon namens Tower of Kingorne Wester gab es an dieser Stelle seit 1119. Später wurde dieser Burntisland Castle genannt und ab 1382 Abbot’s Hall, da dort der Abt von Dunfermline wohnte. Das heutige Gebäude stammt größtenteils aus dem 16. Jahrhundert, aber der Keller wurde bereits im 13. Jahrhundert angelegt; er enthält hohe Spitzbogenfenster und stellt wohl die Überreste einer Kapelle dar. Peter Durie of Durie ließ die Burg ab 1552 umbauen und das Wappen von Abt George Durie und die Jahreszahl 1554 erscheinen über dem Haupteingang. Maria Stuart besuchte die Burg während ihrer kurzen persönlichen Regentschaft 1561–1567. Am 14. Februar 1562 wurde der französische Botschafter und Dichter Chastelard versteckt unter Marias Bett gefunden. 1651 wurde die Burg von Soldaten Oliver Cromwells eingenommen und Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts gehörte sie der Familie Wemyss, die das Obergeschoss umbauen ließ. 1765 gehörte das Anwesen Murdoch Campbell, einem Highlander aus Skye, der vermutlich dem Gebäude seinen heutigen Namen gab. 1915 wurde der Historiker Thomas Ross verhaftet, während er das Landhaus untersuchte, weil er auf einem verbotenen Gelände Zeichnungen anfertigte. Er erhielt eine Geldstrafe von 5 Shilling. 1952 kaufte die Stadtverwaltung das Landhaus. 1957 wurde eine bemalte Holzdecke aus dem 17. Jahrhundert entdeckt. Sie befindet sich heute im Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. Auf der Decke finden sich die Initialen „SRM“ für Sir Robert Melville of Morocairney und Embleme, die von den Devises Heroïques von Claude Paradin kopiert wurden. Die Stadtverwaltung drohte damit, das Anwesen abzureißen, aber nach der Entscheidung einer Untersuchungskommission 1972 wurde es gerettet. 1975 kaufte es das Architekturbüro Robert Hard & Partners, die es restaurierten und als Bürogebäude behielten. Historic Scotland hat Rossend Castle als historisches Bauwerk der Kategorie B gelistet. Einzelnachweise Weblinks
Rossend Castle

Rossend Castle is a historic building in Burntisland, a town on the south coast of Fife, Scotland. History A keep, known as the Tower of Kingorne Wester, was in existence on the site from 1119. It was later referred to as Burntisland Castle, and by 1382 was called Abbot's Hall, as it was the home of the Abbot of Dunfermline. The present building is largely of the 16th century, though with a 13th-century basement, which contains lancet windows and may represent the remains of a chapel. It was rebuilt by Peter Durie of Durie from 1552, and the arms of Abbot George Durie, and the date 22 May 1554, appear over the main door. During the war of the Rough Wooing the English soldier John Luttrell landed at Burntisland on 28 December 1547. He burnt boats and buildings at the pier, and the owners of Rossend surrendered the castle to him. Mary, Queen of Scots, visited during her short personal reign (1561–1567). On 14 February 1562, the French messenger and poet Chastelard was discovered hiding under Mary's bed in the castle. On 11 May 1590 Sir Robert Melville hosted the Danish Admiral Peder Munk who was travelling to Falkland Palace to take possession of the lands granted to Anne of Denmark as part of her dowry. In April 1594 James VI came to Rossend from Leith with his guard, and unsuccessfully tried to capture two rebel supporters of the Earl of Bothwell, Archibald Wauchope of Niddrie and John Wemyss of Logie. Probably in the first decades of the 17th-century, Sir Robert Melville commissioned a painted timber ceiling. The scheme includes his initials "SRM" which he used as a seal on his letters, and pictorial emblems copied from the Devises Heroïques of Claude Paradin and other print sources. The ceiling may have been part of a redecoration of the castle in 1617, when King James planned to visit during his "salmon-like" return to Scotland. Melville was instructed to make "his house of Burntyland patent" for his majesty's reception. One of the documented Scottish painters of the period, James Workman, lived in Burntisland. The castle was captured in 1651 by the soldiers of Oliver Cromwell, and in the later 17th century it was owned by the Wemyss family, who remodelled the top floor. By 1765, it was owned by Murdoch Campbell, a Highlander from Skye, who probably gave the building its current name. In 1915 Thomas Ross was arrested whilst studying the castle, for sketching in a prohibited area, and fined five shillings. The castle was acquired by the Town Council in 1952. In 1957, the Scottish renaissance painted ceilings was discovered and is now displayed in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. The council threatened to demolish the property, which had been allowed to deteriorate, but it was saved after a public inquiry in 1972. In 1975, the castle was bought by the architecture firm Robert Hurd & Partners, who restored it and retain the building as their offices. It is a category B listed building. It was bought in 2019 by private owners who have restored it See also Restoration of castles in Scotland References

Rosshall Academy

Rosshall Academy is a secondary school in the Rosshall (Crookston) area of Glasgow, Scotland. The school was formed in August 1999 to merge Penilee Secondary School (Penilee) and Crookston Castle Secondary School (Pollok) and moved to a new building roughly equidistant between them on Crookston Road in 2002. It holds over 1,100 pupils. Rosshall Academy has five main feeder primary schools – Cardonald Primary, Craigton Primary, Crookston Castle Primary, Hillington Primary and Sandwood Primary, along with a part association with Mosspark Primary (Mosspark's catchment being split between Rosshall and Bellahouston Academy). Building Less than a year after opening, the Rosshall school was at the centre of an investigation into so-called "sick building syndrome". Staff blamed their suffering health on classrooms being too small and ventilation so poor that they had to leave fire doors wedged open. Teachers suffered myriad illnesses including headaches, throat problems and eye conditions such as conjunctivitis. Doctors and opticians consulted by staff blamed the illnesses on the environmental conditions at the school, particularly the fact that the classrooms were far smaller than those in the schools it had replaced. Professor Derek Clements-Croome of Reading University, an expert in sick building syndrome, said that Rosshall appeared to conform to the general profile of "unhealthy" buildings: "Hot air rises, so generally in normal classrooms, the heat and any pollutants in the air will rise above the head of a class. Lowering the ceiling height means anyone standing up will find their nose and mouth at exactly the level where this fog of carbon dioxide can be found." Death Euan Craig, a 14-year-old pupil, died after being punched five times in the head by a fellow pupil in the academy's gymnasium on 23 May 2012. The other boy, also 14, who had been accidentally hit by a sponge ball Euan had thrown to friends, admitted walking over and punching Euan. The youth was sentenced on 23 November 2012 by Lord Bracadale at the High Court in Edinburgh to three and a half years in custody for the violent assault. Darren Taylor, the youth who killed Euan Craig, was released after 20 months in detention on 22 August 2014.

Rossie Priory

Rossie Priory is a category B listed country house and estate to the north of Inchture, near the hamlets of Baledgarno and Knapp, Perthshire, Scotland. It lies 9.6 miles (15.4 km) by road west of the city centre of Dundee. The large estate is roughly 2000 acres. Rossie Priory house Rossie Priory was designed by the architect William Atkinson in Regency Gothic Style. It was designed as a house (1807) for Charles Kinnaird, 8th Lord Kinnaird as the seat of the Kinnaird family and replaced Drimmie House, which was subsequently demolished. The house was added to between 1839-40 and the chapel completed in 1865-66. A large portion of the house was demolished in 1948, as the vast building was deemed too impractical to maintain in the twentieth century, and alterations were carried out in 1949 by architect Sir Basil Spence. Plans of the demolished buildings in the Spence Archive show the significant reduction and that the foundations were to be covered with a terraced garden. Designed landscape The designed landscape and gardens of Rossie Priory are considered to be "of outstanding value as a Work of Art" by Historic Environment Scotland. The designed landscape dates from around 1800-33 and was further developed between 1887 and the end of the twentieth century. The landscape includes parklands, woodlands and walled gardens. An arboretum was established in the 1860s and there are three main ornamental gardens: the Terrace, the Topiary and the Water gardens. Prior to 1800, there was a scheme of planting surrounding Drimmie House which can be seen on the Roy Military Survey map (1747-52). Notable monuments Moncur Castle was the original fortified house on the Rossie estate and dates from the sixteenth century; its remains are a scheduled ancient monument. Rossie Priory Stone, a cross slab with Pictish symbols, is in Kinnaird Mausoleum (formerly Rossie Church) and also a scheduled monument of national importance. The market cross of the old village of Rossie dates from 1746 and is listed category A. It takes the form of a Corinthian column surmounted by two lions and two unicorns. Sporting and artistic connections Rossie Priory Cricket Club is based on the estate and was founded in 1828 by George Kinnaird, 9th Lord Kinnaird; it is the second oldest Scottish cricket club still in existence after Kelso. George Kinnaird also established an early calotype photographic studio with the assistance of Thomas Rodger in around 1850. The Rossie Priory Glass Plate Negative Collection is held by the University of St Andrews. Arthur Kinnaird, 11th Lord Kinnaird was a leading football player, who played for Scotland, and served as the president of the Football Association. Sale of the estate Rossie Priory House and 240 acres of the estate were put up for sale in August 2021. The estate has been the Kinnaird family seat since the twelfth century and the house has not been sold before. References

Rough Castle Fort

Rough Castle Fort is a Roman fort on the Antonine Wall roughly 2 kilometres south east of Bonnybridge near Tamfourhill in the Falkirk council area, Scotland. It is owned by the National Trust for Scotland. Context The Antonine Wall dates from about 143 AD. The ends of the wall were uncertain for many years. In the east Carriden near Bo'ness on the Forth was a likely endpoint. In the west is Old Kilpatrick on the Clyde, although there were also forts beyond that at Bishopton and Barochan Hill. The fort is one of the best-preserved of the forts constructed along the Wall. Built against the southern rear face of the Wall, the fort was defended by 6 metre thick turf ramparts and surrounded by defensive ditches. Gateways were provided through the main wall to the north, and also through the walls on the other three sides of the fort. Causeways were then constructed across the main Antonine and secondary defensive ditches, affording easy access to and from the fort. The fort was the second smallest on the Wall and had an area of about 4,000 square metres. The fort contained several buildings, made of stone from a time when this was a less common construction material. The traces of the commander's house, the barracks, the headquarters, the bath house and a granary have been discovered. Although the original buildings have not survived, these buildings' foundations were discovered during excavations in 1902–03, 1932 and 1957–61. A video reconstruction of the site has been produced. Finds Inscriptions found on recovered artefacts indicate that the fort based 480 men of the Cohors VI Nerviorum of Nervii, foot soldiers drawn from a north-eastern Gallic tribe. The military road on the south side of the Wall, which enabled transport between all forts, is still well defined and there is also a fine length of rampart and ditch still intact to the west. An altar to Victory was found in 1843 to the south of the fort. Other finds include a bangle, some glass from a window and leather shoes. A series of pits were discovered during the excavations lying to the north west of the causeway across the Antonine ditch. These pits, known as lilia, would originally have contained sharpened stakes at the bottom. They were positioned to help defend the vulnerable northern gateway through the wall. Near the fort were a turf platform (beacon platform or signalling platform) and gravel pits for building of the military road. The bath house was built on an annexe. The fort was defended by Nervii, and Flavius Betto was a commanding officer. One of the best overviews of the site is the video of the Bridgeness Slab by Falkirk Council, presented by Geoff Bailey, Keeper of Archeology and Local History at Falkirk Museum, from about 10 minutes. For early discoveries see Sir George Macdonald's writings. Events A sound and light show was organised at Rough Castle in November 2018 to promote tourism.
