National Monument of Scotland

National Monument of Scotland, på Calton Hill i Edinburgh, er Skotlands nationalmonument for skotske soldater og sømænd der døde under napoleonskrigene. Det var ifølge inskriptionen ment til at være "Et minde om fortiden og incitament til fremtidens heltemod for mænd i Skotland". Monumentet dominerer Calton Hill, der ligger umiddelbart øst for Princes Street. Det blev designet 1823–6 af Charles Robert Cockerell og William Henry Playfair og er baseret på Parthenon i Athen. Opførslen blev påbegyndt i 1826 men som følge af mangelnde midler blev det forladt ufærdigt i 1829. Omstændighederne gjorde at det fik forskellige øgenavne som "Scotland's Folly", "Edinburgh's Disgrace", "the Pride and Poverty of Scotland" og "Edinburgh's Folly".

National Monument (Schottland)

Das National Monument of Scotland in Edinburgh wurde zum Gedenken an schottische Soldaten und Seeleute, die während der Napoleonischen Kriege ums Leben kamen, auf dem Calton Hill errichtet. Die Inschrift lautet: “A Memorial of the Past and Incentive to the Future Heroism of the Men of Scotland” (dt. Im Gedenken an die Vergangenheit und Ansporn für zukünftige Heldentaten der Männer Schottlands). Geschichte Der Bau war als Denkmal für die Gefallenen der Napoleonischen Kriege gedacht. In dessen Katakomben sollten berühmte Schotten zur Ruhe gebettet werden. Mit geschätzten Baukosten von 42.000 £ gewann das Vorhaben die Unterstützung von König George IV., Sir Walter Scott und dem Duke of Atholl. In Anwesenheit des Duke of Hamilton erfolgte die Grundsteinlegung im Jahre 1822. Der Bau wurde, nach einem Entwurf von Charles Robert Cockerell und William Henry Playfair, im Jahr 1823 begonnen. Architektonisches Vorbild war der Parthenon auf der Akropolis in Athen. Nachdem einige wenige Säulen und ein Teil des Gebälks errichtet und bereits 13.500 £ verausgabt worden waren, blieb das Denkmal seit 1829 unvollendet. Als Bauruine wird es deshalb auch als „Scotland’s Folly“ (dt. Schottlands Folly), „Edinburgh’s Disgrace“ (dt. Edinburghs Schande) , „The Pride and Poverty of Scotland“ (dt. Der Stolz und die Armut Schottlands) oder auch „Edinburgh’s Folly“ bezeichnet. Siehe auch Unfertige Bauwerke Einzelnachweise

Monument national d'Écosse

Le Monument national d'Écosse, à Édimbourg, est érigé à la mémoire des soldats et des marins écossais qui ont trouvé la mort lors des guerres napoléoniennes. Son inscription le définit comme « A Memorial of the Past and Incentive to the Future Heroism of the Men of Scotland ». Histoire Situé au sommet de Calton Hill, à l'est de Princes Street, le monument a été dessiné en 1823-1826 par les architectes Charles Robert Cockerell et William Henry Playfair dans un style néoclassique, sur le modèle du Parthénon d'Athènes. C'est en partie à cette similitude que la ville d'Édimbourg doit son surnom d'« Athènes du Nord ». Elle le doit également à l'architecture néoclassique de la Galerie nationale d'Écosse et de la Royal Scottish Academy. Les travaux de construction du monument, commencés en 1826, durent s'interrompre en 1829 faute de crédits. L'édifice est donc resté inachevé en dépit de nombreux projets destinés à le terminer, ce qui lui a valu des surnoms tels que Edinburgh's Disgrace, The Pride and Poverty of Scotland ou Edinburgh's Folly, cette dernière appellation se référant aux fabriques de jardin. En l'état, il n'est constitué que de 12 colonnes et d'une architrave. Protection Le monument est classé bâtiment de catégorie A en 1966. Ce n'est pas un monument inscrit.

Monumento Nacional da Escócia

O Monumento Nacional da Escócia, em Calton Hill, Edimburgo, é o memorial da Escócia aos soldados e marinheiros escoceses que morreram nas Guerras Napoleónicas. Segundo a sua epígrafe, a sua intenção era a de ser "Um Memorial do Passado e um Incentivo para o Heroísmo Futuro dos Homens da Escócia. O monumento domina o topo da Calton Hill, a este da Princes Street. Foi concebido entre 1823 e 1826 por Charles Robert Cockerell e William Henry Playfair e inspirado pelo Partenon de Atenas. A obra iniciou-se em 1826 e, em consequência da falta de fundos, nunca foi terminada. Esta circunstância levou a que o monumento tenha várias alcunhas, entre as quais: "A Desgraça da Escócia", "A Desgraça de Edimburgo", "O Orgulho e a Pobreza da Escócia" e "A Estupidez de Edimburgo".

National Piping Centre

The National Piping Centre is an institution in Glasgow, Scotland, dedicated to the playing of the bagpipes, to include not only the Great Highland Bagpipes, but also the Scottish smallpipes and Irish uileann pipes, as well as other traditional musical instruments. The institution includes practice spaces, an auditorium, and the Museum of Piping. In 2018, the National Piping Centre formally merged with the College of Piping, another historic Glasgow-based piping institution, to become the National Piping Centre incorporating the College of Piping, further consolidating its role as a central hub for piping education and heritage in Scotland. It is located in the Cowcaddens district of the city, in the former Cowcaddens Free Church. The building is Category B listed. Following the merger with the College of Piping, it obtained the College's building on Otago Street, in Glasgow's West End. The Museum of Piping The Museum of Piping displays a rich collection of bagpipes and related artifacts, tracing 300 years of piping heritage. It features Scottish bagpipes from the 18th century, European bagpipes, and items related to famous pipers like John MacColl and Robert Reid.

National War Museum

The National War Museum is a museum dedicated to warfare, which is located inside Edinburgh Castle in Edinburgh, Scotland. Opened in 1933 in a converted 18th-century ordnance storehouse, the museum is run by National Museums Scotland and covers 400 years of Scotland at war from the 17th century through permanent exhibits and special exhibitions. It was formerly known as the Scottish United Services Museum, and prior to this, the Scottish Naval and Military Museum. Location and description The museum is located in the Hospital Square of Edinburgh Castle, within the Old Town area of Edinburgh, Scotland. The building, which has been category-B listed since 1970, comprises two storeys with a ten-bay rectangular-plan. It is managed by National Museums Scotland. Admission to the museum is included in the entry charge for the castle. The museum's collection includes items used by Scotland's armed forces over many centuries. These include broadswords from the Scottish Highlands, protection against chemical warfare, and letters sent home from combat by personnel. It also houses a gallery, with works such as The Thin Red Line by Robert Gibb, and a library. History Various movements proposing museums dedicated to warfare arose during World War I, and the consensus amongst those involved was that they should be regional in nature. Preliminary ideas for a Scottish museum were drawn up in 1917 by Alexander Ormiston Curle, curator of the National Museum of Scotland, under advice from organisers in London, as well as a civic committee of the Edinburgh council, set up by Lord Provost John Lorne MacLeod. John Stewart-Murray, 8th Duke of Atholl, was also a supporter of the idea. The committee worked through 1918 and 1919 on ideas for the museum, including plans for procuring exhibits. After the end of the war, however, priority was given to the construction of the Scottish National War Memorial, which opened in 1927, and the museum project was put on hold. The museum project was resurrected in the late 1920s by the Duke of Atholl, utilising a building inside Edinburgh Castle which was built in the 1748 by William Skinner as a storehouse for ordnance. Construction took more than three years, and the museum was opened by Lord High Commissioner John Buchan on 23 May 1933 as the Scottish Naval and Military Museum. In 1949, recognising the importance of the Air Force to the war effort in World War II, the museum was renamed to the United Services Museum. The museum was refurbished in 2000, and upon reopening was renamed to its present name of the National War Museum. See also Scottish National War Memorial References External links Official website

Shuna Island

Shuna Island (schottisch-gälisch Siùna) ist eine heute nicht dauerhaft bewohnte Insel im Loch Linnhe im schottischen Archipel der Inneren Hebriden. Sie ist nur durch den schmalen Shuna-Kanal vom Festland getrennt. 1938 befand sich ein einzelner Bauernhof auf der Südseite der Insel. Nach dem Antiquar Walter Macfarlane war die Insel sehr fruchtbar und lieferte reichlich Milch, Butter sowie Fische aus dem Loch. Auf der Insel befindet sich die Ruine eines 1911 erbauten Schlosses, das seit den 1980er-Jahren verfällt, sowie sechs Ferienhäuser. Die Insel stand 2025 für 5,5 Mio. Pfund zum Verkauf.

Shuna Island

Shuna Island or simply Shuna is an island in Loch Linnhe, offshore from Appin, in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. The island is approximately two kilometres (1+1⁄4 miles) long and one kilometre (5⁄8 mi) wide, and extends to some 155 ha (383 acres) in total. The island is characterised by a table topped hill at its southern end. The name Shuna is probably derived from the Norse, for "sea island". The island is separated from Appin by the Sound of Shuna. Shuna is recorded in a late 16th-century document as belonging to John Stewart, the Laird of Appin. He may have built Castle Shuna, a small tower-house, which is now in ruins and lies at the south end. In the 18th century, Shuna Farmhouse replaced Castle Shuna as the residence on the island: it is a Category B listed traditional farmhouse dating from the 1740s. Opposite Castle Shuna, at the head of Loch Laich, is the island fortress of Castle Stalker, also historically a possession of the Stewarts of Appin. The island forms part of the Lynn of Lorn National Scenic Area, one of 40 in Scotland. In 2012 the island was placed on sale via agents Savills for £1.85 million.

Neidpath Viaduct

Der Neidpath Viaduct ist ein ehemaliger Eisenbahnviadukt nahe der schottischen Kleinstadt Peebles in der Council Area Scottish Borders. Das heute nur noch von Fußgängern genutzte Bauwerk wurde 1971 in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Des Weiteren bildet es zusammen mit dem nahegelegenen South Park Wood Railway Tunnel ein Denkmalensemble der Kategorie B. Geschichte Bauherr des Viadukts war die Symington, Biggar and Broughton Railway. Bei Eröffnung der Brücke 1864 war die Gesellschaft bereits Teil der Caledonian Railway. Der Neidpath Viaduct bildete einen Teil der Hauptstrecke der Caledonian Railway zwischen Glasgow und Carlisle. Mit der Schließung der Strecke in den 1950er Jahren wurde der Viadukt noch einige Jahre genutzt, bevor er in den 1960er Jahren obsolet wurde. Heute dient er als Fußgängerbrücke. 2011 wurde der Neidpath Viaduct in das Register gefährdeter denkmalgeschützter Bauwerke in Schottland aufgenommen. Sein Zustand wurde im selben Jahr jedoch als gut bei mäßiger Gefährdung eingestuft. Beschreibung Der Neidpath Viaduct quert den River Tweed rund 1,5 km westlich von Peebles. Der Mauerwerksviadukt überspannt den Fluss mit acht ausgemauerten Rundbögen. Diese weisen lichte Weiten von 9,9 m bei einer maximalen lichten Höhe von 9,8 m auf. Auf Grund seiner Lage innerhalb einer Kurve mit einem Radius von 402 m ist der Viadukt geschwungen. Die Fassaden der Steinbogenbrücke sind, wie auch die heraustretenden Pfeilern mit ihren abgerundeten Eisbrechern, mit bossierten Steinquadern verkleidet. Ein gusseisernes Geländer begrenzt die Brücke. Einzelnachweise Weblinks Eintrag zu Neidpath Viaduct auf trove.scot, der Datenbank von Historic Environment Scotland (englisch)
Neidpath Viaduct

Neidpath Viaduct, occasionally known as the Queen's Bridge, consists of eight stone skew arches and was built to carry the Symington to Peebles branch line of the Caledonian Railway over the River Tweed to the south-west of Neidpath Castle. Now closed to rail traffic the bridge is used as a footpath. History The Symington, Biggar and Broughton Railway's extension to Peebles was authorised on 3 July 1860 but by the time construction was complete the company had been absorbed by the much larger Caledonian Railway. The bridge was designed by Robert Murray, a local engineer living in Peebles, and George Cunningham, Consultant Engineer to the Caledonian Railway, and built of sandstone ashlar blocks. All eight arches are semicircular, skewed and constructed with helical courses, crossing the Tweed obliquely with four of the piers in the water, and the whole structure is built on a graceful curve of radius 440 yards (400 m) so as to align the route with nearby Neidpath Tunnel, at the eastern end of the viaduct and to the south of Neidpath Castle. In addition to the curve, the level of the trackbed falls approximately 6 feet (1.8 m) from west to east. The similar but smaller Lyne Viaduct is located a little to the west and is often confused with this bridge. On 1 January 1923 ownership of the viaduct, along with the rest of the Caledonian Railway, passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and thence to the Scottish region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. The line lost its regular passenger traffic on 5 June 1950 and closed completely on 7 June 1954. Since 1971, the viaduct has been protected by Historic Environment Scotland as a Category A listed building, noted as one of the finest examples of skew arch construction in Scotland. In 2011, HES placed the viaduct on its Buildings at Risk Register, with a risk category of "moderate". Its report noted that the structure was beginning to decay badly in places, mentioning localised stone failures, extensive plant growth and water seepage. It also said that the iron balustrades were beginning to warp and twist on their base stones. Today, the viaduct is open as part of a footpath, the picturesque setting being popular with ramblers.

Wiadukt Neidpath

Wiadukt Neidpath (ang. Neidpath Viaduct) – nieczynny wiadukt kolejowy położony niedaleko miasta Peebles w hrabstwie Scottish Borders w Szkocji. Opis Wiadukt przebiega nad rzeką Tweed ok. 1,5 km na zachód od Peebles. Obiekt wybudowany z bloków piaskowca, składający się z ośmiu przęseł łukowych o prześwitach szerokich na 9,9 m, a wysokich na 9,8 m. Wiadukt jest zakrzywiony i tworzy łuk o promieniu 402 m. Na wiadukcie zamontowane są żeliwne balustrady. Filary zabezpieczone w zaokrąglone izbice, obłożone boniowanymi blokami kamiennymi. Wiadukt jest obecnie wykorzystywany tylko do ruchu pieszego. Został wpisany w 1971 roku do szkockiego rejestru zabytków w najwyższej kategorii A. Wraz z pobliskim tunelem kolejowym w South Park Wood tworzy zespół zabytkowy sklasyfikowany w kategorii B. Historia Wiadukt został wybudowany przez towarzystwo kolejowe Symington, Biggar i Broughton Railway. W momencie otwarcia wiaduktu w 1864 roku towarzystwo było częścią Caledonian Railway (Kolei Kaledońskiej). Wiadukt Neidpath stanowił część głównej trasy Caledonian Railway, pomiędzy miastami Glasgow i Carlisle. Zamknięcie linii przebiegającej przez wiadukt nastąpiło w dniu 5 czerwca 1950, a całkowite wyłączenie ruchu pociągów dnia 7 czerwca 1954 roku. Galeria Przypisy
