Dun Beag

Der Broch von Dun Beag (deutsch „kleines Fort“ auch Struan genannt) liegt auf einem Hügel unweit des Loch Bracadale an der Westküste der Insel Skye, in den Highlands in Schottland. Nicht zu verwechseln mit Dunbeg Fort in Irland. Lage Die Lage von Dun Beag ist von der westlichen Seite dominierend für die Landschaft. Auf der Ostseite steigt das Gelände stetig und macht nicht den Eindruck von Uneinnehmbarkeit. Dun Beag kann als Orientierungspunkt für Seeleute gedient haben, um den Weg ins fjordähnliche Loch Harport zu finden. Die Lage des Semi-Brochs Dun Ardtreck auf der Südseite des Eingangs zum Loch Harport könnte diese Theorie stützen. Beschreibung Die Struktur von Dun Beag ist bis auf etwa 1,5 m Höhe bemerkenswert gut erhalten. Das Innere des Brochs hat einen Durchmesser von 11 m. Die Ringmauer ist im Durchschnitt 4,3 m dick. Wie bei anderen Brochs sind die Wände als äußere und innere Schale gebaut mit Hohlräumen zwischen ihnen und Öffnungen zum Innenraum, um den Raum zu erhellen. Die Lücke zwischen den Wänden ließ Platz für Steintreppen, die beim Broch von Dun Beag besonders beeindruckend sind. Dun Beag ist einer von etwa 500 Brochs, die insbesondere im Norden und Westen Schottlands zu finden sind. Brochs wurden primär vom letzten Jahrhundert v. Chr. bis zum 1. Jahrhundert n. Chr. gebaut. Die runden Turmbauten erreichten eine Höhe von 13 oder mehr Metern. Über ihren Zweck bestehen kontroverse Auffassungen, aber die lange bevorzugte von Brochs als „Farmstead“ ist ad acta gelegt. Einige sehen in ihnen defensive Strukturen, während andere glauben, dass sie Macht- und Prestigesymbole waren. Dun Beag wurde 1912 von der Gräfin Vincent Baillet de Latour ausgegraben.

Dun Beag

Dun Beag is an iron-age broch located about 1 kilometre northwest of the village of Struan on the west coast of the island of Skye, in Scotland. Description Dun Beag (grid reference NG339386) is situated at the north end of a small rocky knoll. The broch consists of a drystone tower with a diameter of around 18.6 metres with walls about 4 metres thick at the base. The broch currently stands to a maximum height of 2 metres. The interior has a diameter of about 11 metres, and the entrance is on the east side. Internally three openings are visible in the broch wall. One leads to a small chamber; a second leads to a long narrow gallery within the wall; and a third leads to the stone stair of which some twenty steps survive. History The broch was visited by Thomas Pennant in 1772, and it was still a substantial structure, with a height of perhaps 4 metres. The following year a broch near Ullinish, which was probably Dun Beag, was visited by Samuel Johnson and James Boswell during their Tour to the Hebrides. Around half of its wall height has been lost since the 18th century. The broch was excavated by the Countess Vincent Baillet de Latour between 1914 and 1920. Some 200 tons of earth and stones were removed from the broch and all the soil was sifted through the excavators' fingers. The standard of recording and publication was poor. Finds included many stone implements and utensils, a gold ring, bronze objects, a piece of folded sheet lead, iron and glass objects, a borer of bone, a pick made from an antler, much pottery and a stone cup. Several hundred glass beads were found although they are not thought to be prehistoric. Coins of Henry II, Edward I, James VI, George II and George III have been discovered, and it is possible that the broch was in use until comparatively recently.

Abbazia di Inchaffray

L'abbazia di Inchaffray (in latino Insula Missarum) era un edificio religioso agostiniano sito in Scozia, attivo durante il medioevo. Progressivamente abbandonato nel corso dell'età moderna, oggi ne rimangono poche rovine. Storia Fondazione e prosperità L'abbazia, inizialmente un priorato, venne fondata nel 1200 da Gilbert, conte di Strathearn e da sua moglie Matilde in memoria del figlio Gilchrist, deceduto e sepolto nella zona due anni prima. Inchaffray al tempo era una zona paludosa, e l'abbazia venne fondata su un rialzo del terreno noto come Insula Missarum, "isola delle Messe", poiché vi esisteva già un piccolo luogo di culto noto come "San Giovanni di Strathearn". L'abbazia, consacrata a santa Maria Vergine e san Giovanni Evangelista e concessa all'Ordine di Sant'Agostino, fu favorita dai conti di Strathearn e divenne il loro tradizionale luogo di sepoltura. Il primo priore fu Malis, un eremita del posto richiamato per l'occasione dai conti di Strathearn. A partire almeno dal 1218 i monaci di Inchaffray cominciarono la bonifica agraria delle zone circostanti l'abbazia per ricavarne terreno coltivabile; il priorato fu infine elevato ad abbazia nel 1220-21. Nel 1237 papa Gregorio IX dispose in una bolla il trasferimento della sede della diocesi di Dunblane proprio ad Inchaffray, ma la decisione venne disattesa. L'abbazia, nonostante non divenisse mai uno dei principali edifici religiosi scozzesi, rimase per alcuni secoli un sito d'importanza non indifferente, tanto che fu l'abate Maurizio di Inchaffray a benedire l'esercito scozzese alla vittoriosa battaglia di Bannockburn nel 1314, godendo quindi del favore di Roberto I di Scozia e venendo per questo nominato vescovo di Dunblane alcuni anni più tardi. Decadenza La diffusione del protestantesimo in Scozia fu deleteria per l'abbazia, che cominciò rapidamente a perdere il proprio prestigio. Presto Inchaffray fu coinvolta in gravi casi di simonia, tanto che prima venne posta sotto controllo di un abate commendatario, e poi sconsacrata per permetterne l'incameramento nel patrimonio del ricco clan Drummond. Da questo momento l'abbazia venne trascurata, per essere infine abbandonata e lasciata andare in rovina. Nel 1816 la maggior parte dell'edificio venne abbattuta per permettere il passaggio di una nuova strada. Situazione attuale Oggi dell'abbazia di Inchaffray restano solo poche rovine. Per proteggerne i resti dall'agricoltura intensiva che si pratica tutt'attorno è stata isolata tramite dei terrapieni. Col tempo la vegetazione è prosperata tra i resti dell'edificio, tanto che molte sezioni sono divenute impraticabili e le rovine stesse si scorgono a malapena dall'esterno. Sopravvivono alcune sezioni delle mura esterne e il camino principale dell'edificio. Note Altri progetti Wikimedia Commons contiene immagini o altri file su Abbazia di Inchaffray
Inchlonaig

Inchlonaig is an island in Loch Lomond in Scotland. Geography and geology Inchlonaig is the most northerly of the larger islands in the Loch Lomond, just south of where it narrows into a ribbon loch, and north of Inchconnachan. History Inchlonaig has traces of human habitation dating back to 5000BC. Scattered across the island are yew trees. The travel writer, H.V. Morton visited in the 1930s, and mentions: Inchclonaig [sic], the 'marsh isle' whose yew trees, it is said, were planted by Robert the Bruce for his archers. It is also stated that King Robert used this supply to make bows before the fourteenth century Battle of Bannockburn. The island was thus of great value and the trees maintained with the utmost care. Strathcashel, a stronghold of the Dukes of Montrose was opposite Inchlonaig. Rob Roy fixed the amount of money he was to extort from Clan Colquhoun here. At various times, the island has been a deer park, especially by Sir James Colquhoun in the 17th century and a place of confinement for drunkards and the mentally ill. In 1873, Sir James Colquhoun, the clan chief, and some ghillies drowned after going hunting here, and they are buried together at Luss. Current use A stone cottage is now used as a holiday home. The island is classified by the National Records of Scotland as an inhabited island that "had no usual residents at the time of either the 2001 or 2011 censuses." The beaches on the island are also a common location for campers who are looking for a more quiet campsite.

Inishail

Inishail (alternate Inchald) is an island and former parish, in Loch Awe, Scotland. Geography The island lies at the north end of the loch in the council area of Argyll and Bute, between Cladich and Kilchurn. Among the group of islets near the head of Loch Awe, Inishail is conspicuous by its grassy surface, giving it the nickname "Green Isle", as the others being more densely wooded. It is situated between the Pass of Brander at the one side of the loch, and the village of Cladich on the other. History The parish (no 512) is now part of the parish of Glen Orchy and Inishail. On a slight eminence are the fragments of the walls of a small building, enclosing a space choked up with stones and a growth of nettles and other weeds; a larger space is protected from the intrusion of cattle by an iron fence. This was the Chapel of St Fyndoca, and, perhaps, the remains of an ancient small convent or nunnery, though there is some dispute about its existence. The convent was said to be occupied by Cistercian nuns, and the property belonging to it was erected after the Protestant Reformation into a temporal lordship in favour of Hay, who had been Abbot of Inchaffray, but later became a Protestant. A burying ground has several ancient, carved tombstones, with sculptures and devices appropriate to ecclesiastics, warriors, knights, and a peer. Some grave slabs, those having figures of armed warriors and emblematical devices, may have been taken to the burial ground of Glenorchy Parish Church in Dalmally. While the principal burial place of the Dukes and Duchesses of Argyll is St Munn's Parish Church, Kilmun, the 11th and the 12th Dukes chose to be buried on the island of Inishail in Loch Awe.

Innis Chonain

Innis Chonain or Innischonan is an island in Loch Awe, Scotland connected to the mainland by a bridge. Architect, author and antiquarian Walter Douglas Campbell, a young brother of Archibald Campbell, 1st Baron Blythswood, purchased the island in the second half of the 19th century. He designed and built Innis Chonain House and also nearby St Conan's Tower for himself, his artist sister Helen and their mother the elderly Mrs Caroline Campbell of Blythswood House near Glasgow. Walter delighted in building unusual properties, including St Conan’s Kirk, which is on the mainland nearby, an eclectic blend of church styles. Footnotes

Innis Mhòr

Innis Mhòr is a tidal island in the Dornoch Firth of Easter Ross off the east coast of Scotland. It is about 26 hectares (64 acres) in extent and is largely, if not exclusively, made up of moving sand dunes. No point on the island is greater than 5 metres (16 ft) above sea level. It has almost certainly never been permanently inhabited. The nearest settlement is Inver to the south (which is 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) west of Portmahomack). The town of Tain is 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) to the east. Scotland's north and west coasts have over 700 islands all told. Innis Mhòr is one of the few east coast islands, only 4 of which exceed 20 hectares (49 acres) in size. The extensive tidal Whiteness Sands lie between Innis Mhòr and the Easter Ross coast, with the headland of Rubh' na h-Innse Moire lying to the west of the island. Inland there is the Morrich More, an extensive area of dune grassland with wetland communities, and a grade 1 SSSI, and RAF Tain, a bombing range on an alluvial plain known as the Fendom. The area includes the most extensive area (260 hectares (1.0 sq mi)) of salt marsh in the Highlands. The island is part of the Dornoch Firth National Scenic Area, one of 40 in Scotland. Local birdlife includes important populations of osprey (10 pairs representing about 10% of the UK breeding population), bar-tailed godwit, greylag goose and wigeon and numerous more common species such as curlew, dunlin, oystercatcher and teal. There are no other islands nearby, although a sandy spit to the south is marked as Innis Bheag (meaning "small island") on some maps and is also referred to as Paterson Island.
