Boreray, St Kilda

Boreray (skotsk gaeliska: Boraraigh) är en obebodd ö i den världsarvs-skyddade ögruppen St Kilda i Nordatlanten. Ön är hemvist åt den ovanliga fårrasen Borerayfår. Geografi Boreray ligger cirka 66 kilometer västnordväst om North Uist. Ön är cirka 77 hektar stor och når en höjd på 384 meter vid den högsta punkten Mullach an Eilein. Boreray är bildad av breccia, gabbro och dolerit. Det finns två raukar (eng:Stac, vertikal pelare av sten), precis vid Boreray. Stac En Armin, som är belägen 400 meter åt norr, är 196 meter hög, medan Stac Lee, 600 meter åt väster, är 172 meter hög. Boreray är den minsta av de skotska öar som har en topp över tusen fot. Historia Macauley (1764) rapporterar att det finns fem druidaltare på öarna, inklusive en stor cirkel av stenar fastsatta vinkelrätt i marken vid Stallir House of Boreray. Öarna köptes 1931 av ornitologen John Crichton-Stuart, 5:e markis av Bute. Efter hans död skänktes de 1957 till National Trust for Scotland (NTS), som är den nuvarande ägaren. St Kilda listades som ett världsarv 1986 av Unesco på grund av sin exceptionella naturliga skönhet och sina betydelsefulla livsmiljöer. I juli 2004 utvidgades detta för att även omfatta den omgivande marina miljön. I juli 2005 uppmärksammades ögruppen ytterligare genom att få en dubbel världsarvsstatus för både natur- och kulturbetydelse. Djurliv Borerays klippor är hemvist för olika havsfåglar. Under 1959 räknades 45 000 par havssulor på ön och dess två rauk-öar. Det finns också över 130 olika sorter av blommande växter på ön. Ön är också hemvist för en ovanlig fårras, kända som Borerayfår.

Albert Park, Hawick

Albert Park is a football ground in Hawick in the Scottish Borders, which is the home of East of Scotland Football League club Hawick Royal Albert F.C. Football The ground was opened in 1963 and is located on Mansfield Road in the north-east of the town. It is adjacent to the Mansfield Park rugby union ground, home of Hawick RFC. Greyhound racing Albert Park had a short lived greyhound track around the pitch from 13 May 1989 until 1999. The track was a fairly tight circuit, heavily banked and raced over 270, 450 and 630 yards. The greyhound operation closed amidst controversy after a track manager was convicted of animal cruelty after using hares as live bait. Greyhound racing's governing body the Greyhound Board of Great Britain (GBGB) were unable to impose any punishment because the track chose to be independent and was not affiliated to the GBGB.

Balnaguard Glen

Balnaguard Glen is a Scottish Wildlife Trust reserve near the village of Balnaguard, Perthshire. It is notable for its juniper woodland, which is amongst the largest in Perthshire. Description The reserve covers an area of 55 hectares, through which the Balnagurad Burn runs. The gully is steep-sided, and once hosted a footpath, though landslips have made the old route dangerous and impassable. There are several waterfalls. To the east of the gully lies a birch wood, and to the west are numerous areas of juniper woodland. Flora The glen was formerly more extensively wooded, and there have been recent tree plantings adjoining the birch wood in order to diversify the variety of plant and animal life. The juniper woodland, which lies primarily in the west of the reserve, needs to be maintained by the frequent removal of fast-growing bracken, which would otherwise swamp the slow-growing juniper. Further west, beyond the juniper, is an area of grassland. Fauna There are numerous species which may be observed in the reserve, namely red deer, mountain hare, kestrels and pine martens. Accessibility There is a small car park at the foot of the reserve, just outside the village. There is a way marked trail, but it is steep and rough, and can be difficult to pass in wet weather. It is dangerous to try to access the gully, as the land there is unstable and very prone to landslides. References External links Balnaguard Glen Reserve - Scottish Wildlife Trust
Rubha nan Gall

Rubha nan Gall lighthouse is located north of Tobermory on the Isle of Mull beside the Sound of Mull. The name means "Stranger's Point" in Scottish Gaelic. It was built in 1857 by David and Thomas Stevenson and is operated by the Northern Lighthouse Board. The lighthouse was automated in 1960 and the nearby former keepers' cottages are privately owned. In August 2013, the former keepers' cottages were sold and after extensive renovation work, one is a private home and the other is a self-catering cottage. Access is by sea or a 1.3-mile (2.1-kilometre) footpath from Tobermory along the steep wooded coastline. The cottages have no mains electricity or water; instead a private spring supplies water, while an off-grid solar system provides power.

Careston Castle

Careston Castle, auch Caraldston Castle, ist ein Wohnturm mit L-förmigem Grundriss in der Gemeinde Careston in der schottischen Council Area Angus. Das Gebäude stammt aus dem 16. Jahrhundert. Geschichte Der Name soll von „Keraldus“, Anfang des 13. Jahrhunderts Deemster der Earls of Angus, abstammen. Von einer früheren Burg ist heute nichts mehr erhalten. Die heutige Burg wurde um 1582 für Henry Lindsay errichtet, der 1620 zum Earl of Crawford erhoben wurde. Später gehörte sie nacheinander Sir John Stewart aus Grantully, den Skenes, einem Bauern und John Adamson, dem Besitzer eines Walfangschiffes aus Dundee. Architektur Der Turm mit L-förmigem Grundriss hatte ursprünglich drei Räume mit Gewölbedecke, die durch einen Korridor im 1. Obergeschoss verbunden waren. Heute ist das Gewölbe aus einem der Räume entfernt. Es gibt eine große, gerade Treppe ins 1. Obergeschoss, eine Wendeltreppe in der südwestlichen Laibung und eine Privattreppe auf der Nordseite. Careston Castle ist wegen seiner Kaminsimse berühmt. Der im Rittersaal hat ein reiches Gesims und eine Supraporte mit dem königlichen Wappen Schottlands. Es gibt auch schöne Kaminsimse im Speisezimmer, sowie im mittleren und im östlichen Schlafgemach im 2. Obergeschoss. Diese Kaminsimse sollen der Form nach entsprechend den Entwürfen im Zweiten Buch von Jacques I. Androuet du Cerceau von 1561 gefertigt worden sein. Campbell führt auch an, dass Careston Castle zwei von Cerceaus Hausentwürfen in der Art seiner Fassade und seines Grundrisses enthält. Zwei Flügel des Gebäudes wurden abgerissen. Historic Scotland hat Careston Castle als historisches Bauwerk der Kategorie A gelistet.

Careston Castle

Careston Castle, also known as Caraldston Castle, is an L-plan tower house dating from the 16th century, on a 1,528-acre estate, in Careston parish, Angus, Scotland. It is a category A listed building. History The name is said to derive from Keraldus, dempster to the Earls of Angus at the start of the 13th century. Nothing remains of an earlier castle. The castle was built about 1582 by Sir Henry Lindsay, who became Earl of Crawford in 1620. It was later owned successively by Sir John Stewart of Grantully, by the Skenes, by a farmer, and in 1871 bought by John Adamson, a mill owner from Blairgowrie and son of a whaling ship owner from Dundee. The property was listed for sale in October 2021. At that time, a report stated that it had been owned by the Adamson family for 149 years. Structure The L-plan tower originally had three vaulted rooms, linked by a corridor in the first floor, although one room now has had its vault removed. There is a large scale-and-platt stair to the first floor, a turnpike stair in the south west jamb, and a private stair on the north. Careston Castle is notable for its chimney-pieces. The one in the Hall has an enriched cornice, and an overmantel with the Royal Arms of Scotland. There are fine chimney-pieces also in the dining-room, and the central and east bedrooms on the second floor. These chimney-pieces are thought to be derived in form from designs in Jacques Androuet du Cerceau's Second livre (1561). Campbell also argues that Careston incorporates two of du Cerceau's house designs in the formation of its elevation and plan. Two wings of the building have been demolished. A report in late 2021 stated that the 15,700sq ft castle's principal accommodation consisted of "four fine reception rooms, a library, six main bedrooms and five bathrooms — laid out over the first and second floors". Much of the ground floor was being used for storage and the rooms on the third floor were unused. References
Castelo Careston

O Castelo Careston (em inglês: Careston Castle), também conhecido como Castelo de Caraldston, é uma casa-torre em planta em L datada do século XVI, situada numa propriedade de cerca de 617 hectares, na freguesia de Careston, em Angus, Escócia. Trata-se de um edifício classificado de categoria A. História Diz-se que o nome deriva de Keraldus, oficial judicial dos Condes de Angus no início do século XIII. Não subsiste qualquer vestígio de um castelo anterior. O atual castelo foi construído por volta de 1582 por Sir Henry Lindsay, que se tornou Conde de Crawford em 1620. Pertenceu posteriormente, de forma sucessiva, a Sir John Stewart de Grantully, à família Skene, a um agricultor e, em 1871, foi adquirido por John Adamson, proprietário de um moinho em Blairgowrie e filho de um armador de navios baleeiros de Dundee. A propriedade foi colocada à venda em outubro de 2021. Na altura, um relatório indicava que se encontrava na posse da família Adamson há 149 anos. Estrutura A casa-torre em planta em L possuía originalmente três divisões abobadadas, ligadas por um corredor no primeiro piso, embora uma das divisões tenha visto a sua abóbada removida. Existe uma ampla escadaria de patamares para o primeiro piso, uma escada em caracol no panjar sudoeste e uma escada privada a norte. O Castelo de Careston tem lareiras ornamentadas. A existente no salão apresenta uma cornija e um sobre-manto com as Armas Reais da Escócia. Existem também lareiras de grande qualidade na sala de jantar e nos quartos central e oriental do segundo piso. Acredita-se que estas lareiras derivem, na sua forma, de desenhos do Second livre (1561) de Jacques I Androuet du Cerceau. Campbell argumenta igualmente que Careston incorpora dois dos projetos de casas de du Cerceau na conceção da sua elevação e planta. Dois corpos do edifício foram demolidos. Um relatório do final de 2021 indicava que o alojamento principal do castelo, com 1 459 metros quadrados, consistia em “quatro elegantes salas de receção, uma biblioteca, seis quartos principais e cinco casas de banho, distribuídos pelo primeiro e segundo pisos”. Grande parte do rés-do-chão era utilizada para armazenamento e os quartos do terceiro piso encontravam-se por ocupar. Referências
