Port Stoth

Port Stoth, known locally as Stoth and pronounced Stow, is a sheltered inlet just southeast of the Butt of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. It is the most northerly landing in the Outer Hebrides. A track leads down to a slipway which runs across the sandy beach. Port Stoth is about 400 yards (370 m) from the Butt of Lewis Lighthouse. All the materials for the construction of the lighthouse (between 1859 and 1862) were brought by ship and landed in Port Stoth, due to lack of road infrastructure. The port continued to play an important role in bringing supplies to the lighthouse until about 1960. Supplies and fuel were brought in small cargo vessels when the weather allowed, and were unloaded in Port Stoth by crane. The concrete base still remains, as does a brick storage building. There is a brick building to the North side of Stoth where shellfish was landed and there are the remains of a hoist fixed to the shore below.

Portincross Castle

Portincross Castle, auch Portencross Castle, ist eine Burgruine in der schottischen Ortschaft Portencross in der Council Area North Ayrshire. Die Ruine ist als Scheduled Monument denkmalgeschützt. Eine ehemalige Aufnahme in die schottischen Denkmallisten in die höchste Denkmalkategorie A wurde 2015 aufgehoben. Geschichte Im Jahre 1306 gelangten die Ländereien in den Besitz von Robert Boyd of Kilmarnock und damit des Clans Boyd, der sie bis 1737 nutzte. Portincross Castle wurde im Laufe des 14. Jahrhunderts erbaut und in den folgenden Jahrhunderten wahrscheinlich mehrfach überarbeitet. Im Jahre 1739 stand das Bauwerk leer und wird als ruinös beschrieben. Beschreibung Die Burgruine befindet sich am Südufer des Firth of Clyde gegenüber der Insel Little Cumbrae. Sie stellt ein auffälliges Bauwerk entlang der Küstenlinie dar. Direkt östlich liegt die Ortschaft Portencross. Das Bauwerk weist einen L-förmigen Grundriss auf. Ungewöhnlich ist, dass der Flügel nicht an die Seite, sondern an das Ende des länglichen Wehrturms angefügt ist. Es existieren zwei Eingangsportale im Erdgeschoss sowie im ersten Obergeschoss. In diesen beiden Stockwerken befinden sich Gewölbehallen. Ungewöhnlich für ein Gebäude dieser Größe, sind zwei Küchenbereiche vorhanden.

Portencross Castle

Portencross Castle, also known historically as Portincross Castle, is situated in Portencross, on the west coast of Scotland, about 3 km from West Kilbride. The site has been fortified since the 11th Century. The present tower castle is thought to date from the mid-14th Century and later. It remained in use until it was unroofed by a great storm in 1739 and gradually became ruinous. The castle was designated as a scheduled monument in 1955. The castle was one of the buildings featured in the 2004 series of the BBC television programme Restoration and was the subject of efforts by a local community group to secure its future. History In the castle's earliest days, it was known as "Arneil" (alternatively spelled "Arnele" or "Ardneil") and was held by the de Ross family. After the victory over the English at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, King Robert the Bruce gave the estate to Sir Robert Boyd of Kilmarnock a year later. Replacing a small castle on Auld Hill, Portencross castle was rebuilt in the mid- to late-14th century on a rock promontory at the bottom of Auld Hill, overlooking the Firth of Clyde by Boyd's grandson, also named Robert Boyd. It served as the caput of the Barony of Ardneil. From this location, King Robert II probably signed 15 charters dated at Arnele between 1371 and 1390. Description Portencross Castle was probably first constructed as a stone-built hall house and there may have been a barmkin protecting the structure. The next phase of building was to add upper storeys and an attic in the late 1400s. Around this time a ground-floor entrance was also added. The Boyds retained ownership of the castle until 1737 and made further alterations, including adding upper attic rooms and extending the spiral staircase to reach them. The local fisherman continued to use the castle after it was unroofed in 1739 and they may have made a number of small alterations. The castle has an oblong keep that is three storeys high with a garret. The wing, located at one end of the keep is one storey higher. The entire ground floor is vaulted and there are entrances on the ground floor and in the first storey. It has been restored by the Friends of Portencross Castle during the 2010s and is maintained by them as a museum.

Castello di Portencross

Il castello di Portencross (o Portincross; in inglese: Portencross Castle o Portincross Castle) è un castello fortificato del villaggio scozzese di Portencross, nell'Ayrshire Settentrionale (Scozia centro-occidentale), costruito tra il XIV e il XV secolo e situato su un promontorio che si affaccia sul Firth of Clyde. Fu, tra il XIV secolo e la metà del XVII secolo, la residenza della famiglia Boyd. Storia La torre del castello fu fatta costruire nel XIV secolo dalla famiglia Boyd nel luogo dove un tempo sorgeva un forte romano. In origine l'edificio apparteneva alla famiglia Ross. I terreni erano stati concessi alla famiglia Boyd da Roberto I di Scozia nel 1314 per il loro sostegno nella battaglia di Bannockburn. L'edificio fu quindi ampliato nel corso del XV secolo. Fu aggiunta, tra l'altro, una granda sala d'ingresso nell'ala occidentale. Le prime testimonianze scritte sull'esistenza del castello risalgono tuttavia al 1572. L'edificio rimase la residenza della famiglia Boyd fino al 1660, anno in cui i Boyd si trasferirono in un altro edificio di Portencross. I Boyd cedettere in seguito la proprietà nel 1737. Due anni dopo, il castello fu investito da una violenta tempesta, che spazzò via il tetto. Nel 1900, il castello di Portencross fu acquistato da William Adams, che nel 1910 fece ricostruire il tetto. In seguito l'edificio fu acquisito da South of Scotland Electricity Board e, successivamente, passò nelle mani del British Nuclear Fuels Limited, società che negli anni ottanta del XX secolo fece rinforzare le mura che circondavano il castello. Il 22 dicembre 2005 il castello fu ceduto dalla British Nuclear Fuels Limited ad una società non a scopo di lucro, chiamata Friends of Portencross Castle (FOPC), che sette anni prima aveva ravvisato la necessità di operare un'opera di restauro senza la quale la sopravvivenza dell'edificio sarebbe stata messa a repentaglio. La FOPC operò quindi, a partire dal febbraio 2009, un'opera di restauro dell'edificio.

Portlethen Academy

Portlethen Academy is a six-year comprehensive secondary school in Portlethen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. History With the expansion of the communities of Portlethen and Newtonhill in the 1980s, the Education Committee of Grampian Regional Council decided to build a new six-year Academy in Portlethen. Until then, pupils from the area were bused to Mackie Academy, in near-by Stonehaven. Portlethen Academy opened on 20 April 1987 as a new school for the communities of Portlethen, Newtonhill, Muchalls and Banchory-Devenick. Originally owned by Grampian Regional Council, the school passed to Aberdeenshire Council, when it formed in 1996. The school opened with 180 pupils in Years 1 and 2 and a capacity of around 650. It has expanded in numbers each session since April 1987, reaching over 800 pupils. As the roll rose, the school became too small to accommodate all the pupils and staff. Seven temporary classrooms were added to the school prior to closure. The current Headteacher is Barry Drennan. Aberdeenshire Council commissioned a new school under the PPP Scheme. Current building As early as the turn of the millennium, plans existed for a new school, to be built and managed by Robertson FM, as part of the Government's PPP scheme. It was built on the playing fields adjacent to the existing Academy. Construction started in June 2004, and was completed by the end of July 2006. Originally set to open in June 2006, for the start of the new timetable, a burst pipe delayed the school's opening until August. The new building opened on 22 August 2006 with a roll of 867. The old school has been knocked down, and the main car park which forms part of the area along with the all-weather pitch made up stage 2 of the relocation programme.

Portobello High School

Portobello High School is a large secondary school in Portobello in the east of Edinburgh. With over 1400 pupils it is one of the largest state schools in Edinburgh and Scotland. The current headteacher, as of 2024, is Greg McDowall. There are two other high schools near it Castlebrae Community High School and Holy Rood High School, Edinburgh Building In early 2006, the City of Edinburgh Council engaged professional consultants to conduct a feasibility study on possible sites for the redevelopment of Portobello High School. This led to a statutory educational consultation, as well as a public consultation, on three possible options. The resulting report of the consultation was approved by the Council in December 2006. In December 2008, the City of Edinburgh Council committed £41M to the redevelopment of the school on the site identified by the 2006 consultation. The building was demolished by June 2017. The new school opened on Milton Road in October 2016, less than a mile away from the original site. A design team was appointed in early 2009 with a planning application for the new school made in 2010. Planning permission was granted in early 2011 after an extensive pre-planning consultation programme. On 16 September 2011, Balfour Beatty were announced as the preferred choice to be awarded the contract to build the new school. Balfour Beatty delayed signing the contract until legal action was resolved relating to the place where the school was built. There were two campaigns in relation to the building of the school; in favour of a new school, but recognising the difficulty of finding a satisfactory site, was Portobello for a New School (PFANS). In September 2012, the Portobello Park Action Group (PPAG) which was also keen for a new school but not on the site finally chosen, won its case to prevent building a new school on common land in Portobello. The City of Edinburgh Council then promoted a Private Bill which was approved by the Scottish Parliament providing powers to use the Park for its functions as an education authority which allowed construction of the new school to begin in October 2014. The buildings in Duddingston Road were demolished between January and June 2017 in preparation for the construction of a new building for St John's Primary School. The new building was occupied from 20 August 2018, and the old St John's was demolished on 18 December 2018 ready for the site to be made into the Treverlen public park to replace the park land used to build the new Portobello High School on Milton Road.

St Columba’s Cathedral

Die St Columba’s Cathedral ist ein römisch-katholisches Kirchengebäude in der schottischen Stadt Oban. Das im modernen neogotischen Stil konzipierte Gebäude liegt im Westen der Stadt direkt an der Bucht Oban Bay. 1971 wurde die St Columba’s Cathedral in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Kategorie A aufgenommen. Die Kirche ist heute noch als solche in Verwendung. Geschichte Die erste Kathedrale in Oban wurde 1878 errichtet. Sie bestand aus Wellblech und war nur als Provisorium gedacht, das schließlich jedoch trotzdem 50 Jahre lang genutzt wurde. Der Priester Donald Martin legte am 14. September 1932 den Grundstein des heutigen Gebäudes, das erst im Jahre 1952 fertiggestellt wurde. Wahrscheinlich waren Verzögerungen infolge des Zweiten Weltkriegs für die lange Bauzeit verantwortlich. Die beiden großen Glocken des Geläuts, Brendan und Kenneth, wurden 1959 gesegnet. Seitdem ist sie die Hauptkirche des Bistums Argyll and the Isles. Als Architekt war Giles Gilbert Scott für die Planung verantwortlich, der neben der Liverpool Cathedral, der Waterloo Bridge und der Battersea Power Station auch die bekannten roten Telefonzellen Großbritanniens entwarf. Architektur Der Kompromiss aus Historismus und Moderne, in dem diese Kathedrale gestaltet ist, würde in Deutschland als Reformarchitektur bezeichnet. Alle drei Schiffe der Kirche sind mit offenen Dachstühlen gedeckt. Diese Form des Abschlusses kommt in britischen Kirchen schon seit dem Mittelalter häufiger vor als steinerne Gewölbe. Die Seitenschiffe enden unterhalb fensterloser Hochschiffswände geringer Höhenausdehnung. Der obere Abschluss des Mittelschiffs beginnt oberhalb dieser Wände und reicht bis zum Dachfirst. Damit ist St Columba’s Cathedral eine Pseudobasilika. Während Pseudobasiliken in Deutschland eine architektonische Randgruppe bilden, sind sie im niederländischen Rhein-Maas-Delta etwa ebenso zahlreich wie Hallenkirchen. Das Gleiche gilt für das Vereinigte Königreich, wo es von beiden Bautypen jeweils über tausend gibt, Vgl. Liste der Pseudobasiliken im Vereinigten Königreich.
