Holy Cross High School, Hamilton

Holy Cross High School is a Catholic High School in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, in Scotland. History The original site on Muir Street started out as St Mary's Primary in the 1930s and became Holy Cross High School in the 1950s using the original St Mary's building and some prefabricated wooden buildings. External buildings were used for Art teaching. The main stone built building housed the Rector's office and the main staff rooms along with Classics, English, Maths and Physical Education departments. Early in the 1970s, the wooden structures were torn down to make room for the prefabricated structures made of concrete and steel, which made up the majority of the site and were constructed between 1970 and 1971. The original 1930s building remained until 2010 when the Muir Street site was completely demolished after Trinity High, normally based in Rutherglen, had finished their temporary occupation while their new school was being built. In 2007 Holy Cross High School relocated to a new building in New Park Street as part of South Lanarkshire Council's ongoing school modernisation programme. As of 2020, it has a roll of almost 1200 pupils. As of 2023 the head teacher is Carla Fagan. Motto and badge The school's motto is "Spes Unica" ("Our only hope") referring to the depiction of the cross on the school badge.

Hope Park Church, St Andrews

Hope Park Church in St Andrews, Fife, is a congregation of the Church of Scotland. Building The current building, by Peddie & Kinnear, was completed in 1865. It has notable stained glass windows and an unusual canopy above the pulpit. History The congregation can trace its origins back to the Associate Presbytery (led by the dissident Stirling minister Ebenezer Erskine), which broke away from the Church of Scotland in 1733. In 1738 a Kirk Session of a local congregation (initially worshipping outdoors) was recognised by the Associate Presbytery. From 1749 onwards the congregation have had meeting places in St Andrews - first in an old barn in Imrie's Close (now 136 South Street) then from 1774 in Burghers' Close (now 141 South Street), from 1827 in a purpose-built chapel in North Street (no. 52) then from 1865 in the present building. The name Hope Park was suggested by the then minister the Rev. James Black. As the Associate Presbytery developed (and divisions emerged), the congregation – based on the Voluntary rather than Establishment principle – became associated with the Burghers, which in 1820 became the United Secession Church, which in turn became the United Presbyterian Church in 1847, which merged with the Free Church in 1900 to become the United Free Church of Scotland, which united with the Church of Scotland in 1929. The BBC radio series 'Sunday Half-Hour' was broadcast on 18 June 1950, conducted by Cedric Thorpe Davie (1913-1983), and 'Children's Hour' on 2 December 1952, conducted by the then Minister the Rev. Wilfred Herbert Hulbert (1906-1968) who was appointed in 1947. The Organist during this period was Edward MacMahon. Hope Park Church is now part of St Mark's parish church. Website: www.stmarksparishchurch.org Ministry The charge is currently vacant. From 2011 until 2023, the minister was the Reverend Allan McCafferty BSc BD, who was previously minister at Kirkwall East Parish Church, Orkney. He succeeded the Reverend David Arnott, who was minister from 1996 until 2010. On 27 October 2010 Mr Arnott was nominated to be the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland for 2011–2012.

Horsburgh Castle

Horsburgh Castle, auch Horsbrugh Castle oder Horsbrugh Tower, ist die Ruine eines Wohnturms in der Nähe des Dorfes Glentress in der schottischen Council Area Scottish Borders. Die Burgruine liegt am Fluss Tweed und an der Fernstraße A72 von Peebles nach Galashiels. Das Tower House stammt aus dem 16. Jahrhundert und wurde für die Horsburghs errichtet. Die Dörfer Over Horsburgh, Nether Horsburgh, Kailzie und Kailzie Gardens liegen in der Nähe, ebenso wie die Ruine des Nether Horsburgh Castle. Horsburgh Castle gilt als Scheduled Monument.

Horsburgh Castle

Horsburgh Castle, ook Horsburgh Tower genoemd, is een ruïne en beschermd monument, gelegen op ongeveer vijf kilometer ten zuidoosten van Peebles in het Schotse raadsgebied Scottish Borders. Het bouwwerk was een landhuis op een heuvel, ter hoogte van de plek waar het beekje Linn Burn in de Tweed uitmondt. Evenals het nabije Nether Horsburgh Castle was dit slot eigendom van de familie Horsburgh, die het landgoed bezat van ten minste 1479 tot de vroege twintigste eeuw. Horsburgh Castle ligt op een prehistorisch heuvelfort, hetgeen op luchtfoto’s herkenbaar is. De clan Horsbroc behoorde tot de lagere adel in het historische graafschap Peeblesshire, alwaar Horsburgh tot op heden als achternaam voorkomt. Overblijfselen Horsburgh Castle had een L-vormige opbouw; in de noordoostelijke uitstulping bevond zich een toren met een trap naar de bovenverdiepingen. De oostelijke muur is verdwenen; de overblijvende muren zijn tot zes meter hoog. Het hoofdblok had waarschijnlijk een oppervlakte van 9,4 bij 9,8 meter. Waarschijnlijk bezat het huis een gewelfde benedenverdieping. Het kelderraam in de westelijke muur is het oudste oorspronkelijke deel van de ruïne. De noordelijke muur vertoont twee verdiepingen, maar is wellicht evenals de zuidelijke muur een reconstructie uit de negentiende eeuw. De ingang van het huis bevond zich waarschijnlijk aan de noordelijke zijde. Horsburgh Castle maakte deel uit van een netwerk van verdedigingsbouwwerken in de vallei van de Tweed. Vanuit het landhuis was Neidpath Castle aan de andere kant van Peebles zichtbaar; op de daken van deze kastelen werden bakens aangestoken waarmee van heuvel tot heuvel gecommuniceerd kon worden. Dit maakte het tevens mogelijk, in geval van gevaar alarm te slaan. Aan de noordelijke muur van Horsburgh Castle is een herdenkingsplaquette aangebracht voor barones Florence Horsbrugh (1889-1969), destijds minister in het kabinet van Winston Churchill. De oudere schrijfwijze Horsbrugh betekent letterlijk horse brook (‘paardenbeek’), en is het toponiem waarvan de familienaam is afgeleid.
Horse Holm

Horse Island or Horse Holm, known locally as Da Holm, is one of the Shetland Islands. It lies about 2.3 km west of Sumburgh Head at the south tip of the Mainland, Shetland. In the Norn language, it was called Hundiholmi (Dog Island) but was later renamed Horse Holm. It is used as an alignment point by local fishermen for several fishing marks.

Horse of Copinsay

The Horse of Copinsay, also known as the Horse, is a rectangular uninhabited sea stack to the north east of Copinsay in the Orkney Islands, Scotland. Name The Norse were fond of zoomorphising smaller islands - for example, smaller islands lying off a larger one are often termed "Calf", e.g. Calf of Flotta, Calf of Man or even Calf of Cava (the latter a tautology). Some are even "hens", like the Hen of Gairsay. However "horses" are fairly rare. Coincidentally, the old name of Mainland, Orkney meant "horse island". Geography and geology Like most of the other islands of Orkney, the bedrock is Middle Old Red Sandstone of Rousay type of the Devonian period, but much eroded and tilted. The islet is separated from Copinsay by Horse Sound, and to the southwest is Corn Holm. Mainland Orkney is due west, and Auskerry and Stronsay are much further to the north. The Horse is the easternmost of the southern Orkney islands. The Blaster Hole is a sea jet, of the type known in the Northern Isles as a gloup. When a storm blows in from the east, the aptly named Blaster Hole can produce a spout of nearly 60 metres (200 ft) highly, solely by wave power. Use The tiny islet was used for grazing, and appears never to have been inhabited (although a number of the smaller islands were often used by culdee anchorites). Pigs and sheep were grazed here, but not horses as the name might suggest. As Haswell-Smith says: "As with many small islands, the demand for grazing was so great that the islanders [of Copinsay] would carry sheep to the top of the Horse, but it was said that it could fatten one sheep, and feed two, but three would starve. In the Spring, pigs were also hoisted up to fatten on the huge 'crop' of sea-birds' eggs. The pigs' coarse hair was used to make the strong rope needed for fowling. 'Lee-running' was the local name for the organised collection of sea-birds' eggs, which was still practised on Copinsay in the 1940s." References
Horse of Copinsay

Horse of Copinsay, anche conosciuto come the Horse, è un faraglione rettangolare a nord-est di Copinsay, nelle isole Orcadi in Scozia. Nome I norreni avevano la tradizione dello zoomorfismo sulle piccole isole, ad esempio le isole più piccole situate vicino a isole maggiori sono spesso chiamate "Calf" (Vitello), come Calf of Flotta, Calf of Man o addirittura Calf of Cava (quest'ultimo corrisponde ad una tautologia). Alcune isole sono addirittura identificate come "Hens" (Galline), come Hen of Gairsay. Tuttavia, gli "Horses" (Cavalli) sono pressoché rari e, incidentalmente, l'antico nome di Mainland significata "isola del cavallo". Geografia e geologia Come gran parte delle Orcadi, lo strato roccioso del sottosuolo è costituito da Old Red Sandstone di tipo Rousay risalente al periodo Devoniano, ma gran parte è stata eroso e inclinato. L'isoletta è separata da Copinsay dal Horse Sound, e a sud-ovest si trova Corn Holm. L'isola Mainland delle Orcadi si trova ad ovest, mentre Auskerry e Stronsay si trovano molto più a nord. The Horse è la più orientale delle isole Orcadi meridionali. The Blaster Hole è un geyser marittimo del tipo conosciuto nelle Isole del Nord come gloup. Quando le mareggiate si avvicinano da est, questo geyser può produrre getti d'acqua di circa 60 metri di altezza, solamente con la potenza delle onde. Utilizzo La piccola isoletta fu utilizzata per il pascolo, e sembra che non sia mai stata abitata (anche se alcune piccole isole erano spesso utilizzate da anacoreti culdee). Di solito venivano pascolati maiali e pecore, ma non cavalli, come il nome potrebbe suggerire. Note Altri progetti Wikimedia Commons contiene immagini o altri file su Horse of Copinsay
Hospitalfield House

Hospitalfield House ist eine Villa in der schottischen Kleinstadt Arbroath in der Council Area Angus. 1971 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Geschichte Die Mönche der nahegelegenen Arbroath Abbey errichteten im 14. Jahrhundert am Standort ein Leprosenhaus, das Hospital of St John the Baptist. Die frühe post-reformatorische Geschichte dieser Einrichtung ist unklar. Im 17. Jahrhundert scheint sich dort zumindest ein gehobenes Wohngebäude befunden zu haben. James Fraser, Pfarrer von Arbroath, erwarb das Anwesen im Jahre 1664. Bis 1890 blieb es in Familienbesitz. Durch Heirat mit der Erbin gelangte die Villa 1843 in den Besitz des schottischen Malers und Architekten Patrick Allan Fraser. Bis in die 1870er Jahre erweiterte er Hospitalfield House, das er selbst bewohnte. Auch die Entwürfe stammen von Fraser. Vermutlich integrierte er das aus dem 17. Jahrhundert stammende Gebäude in die neue Struktur. Im frühen 19. Jahrhundert verbrachte der schottische Schriftsteller Walter Scott einige Zeit in Hospitalfield House. Es gilt als Vorlage der Villa Monkbarns in Scotts Roman The Antiquary. Testamentarisch verfügte Fraser, dass Hospitalfield House zur Förderung der Künste weiterbetrieben werden soll. Hierzu wurde 1902 eine Stiftung gegründet. Sie betreibt dort eine Kunstschule, die verschiedene moderne schottische Maler besuchten.

House of the Binns

Das House of the Binns ist ein Herrenhaus nahe der schottischen Ortschaft Blackness in der Council Area West Lothian. 1971 wurden das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A, 1987 die Außenanlagen in das Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland aufgenommen. 1944 übernahm der National Trust for Scotland das Objekt. Geschichte Möglicherweise waren die Ländereien bereits zu Zeiten der Pikten besiedelt. Später entstanden weitere Bauwerke an diesem Ort, der im Jahre 1335 als Bynnis verzeichnet ist. 1478 befand sich dort ein Herrenhaus. Thomas Dalyell, ein Kaufmann aus Edinburgh, erwarb die Ländereien im Jahre 1612 und begann mit der Errichtung des heutigen House of the Binns. Die Arbeiten dauerten bis 1630 an. Für seinen Sohn, den General Thomas Dalziell, der 1666 die Covenanters in der Schlacht von Rullion Green besiegte, wurde das Bauwerk erweitert. Dieser stellte dort auch eine Dragonerschwadron auf, die Teil der späteren Royal Scots Greys wurde. Um 1810 wurde das Herrenhaus überarbeitet und erhielt seinen heutigen, schlossähnlichen Charakter. 2024 betrug die Besucherzahl etwa 30.000 Personen. Beschreibung Das House of the Binns liegt am Ostrand von West Lothian rund einen Kilometer südlich von Blackness nahe dem Südufer des Firth of Forth. Es weist einen grob U-förmigen Grundriss auf. Die nordexponierte Frontseite des dreigeschossigen Gebäudes ist symmetrisch aufgebaut. Beidseitig treten Treppentürme mit stilisierten Zinnen halbrund hervor. Die Fassaden sind mit Harl verputzt. Traufseitig verblenden Zinnen das schiefergedeckte Satteldach. Möglicherweise handelte es sich ursprünglich um zwei Gebäude, welche später vereint wurden. Verschiedene Außengebäude ergänzen das Hauptgebäude. Markant ist der aus dem Jahre 1828 stammende Folly auf der Kuppe des Binns Hill.
