Aberdeen Mosque and Islamic Centre

The Aberdeen Mosque and Islamic Centre (AMIC) is a Sunni mosque, located in Aberdeen, Scotland, in the United Kingdom. It is the largest mosque and Islamic centre in the North East of Scotland, and operates two sites within Aberdeen. The Aberdeen Central Mosque site is located on Frederick Street, and another older mosque operating for locals and students is located on Spital near the University of Aberdeen. Purpose Registered as a charitable, non-profitable, non-political organisation, the purpose of AMIC is to hold congregational prayers and Islamic religious activities, with provision of free religious services to members of the Muslim community relating to Islamic marriage, birth, death and burial in accordance with Scottish law. AMIC also aims to promote unity and provide channels for better communication and understanding between the Muslims and non Muslims in the area. The mosque contributes to the local community by promoting and participating in projects related to areas of social concern. Occasionally, AMIC, as well as other mosques in Aberdeen, host various types of open days to accommodate and provide some insight for the wider community. History The mosque was founded by a small number of University of Aberdeen students and some local business people in October 1978. Initially the mosque was located in a small house beside the university. As the Muslim community grew bigger, several neighbouring houses were purchased to accommodate the growing number of worshippers. In March 2022, the mosque moved to a larger site on Frederick Street which serves as the Central Mosque for the Muslim Community of Aberdeen and its surrounding area. The site on the Spital is open and primarily used by students and nearby residents. Education AMIC currently operates several schools during weekdays, Fridays and the weekend, that cater for a range of individuals. These include AMIC Madrasah, Al-Noor Islamic School, privately run classes for iGCSE Islamic Studies, and a Friday evening school for girls which runs alongside its counterpart for boys in Masjid Alhikmah.

St Andrew's Academy, Paisley

St Andrew's Academy is a Catholic secondary school in Paisley. The school was opened in 1990, with its importance growing in 2001 when St Mirin's and St Margaret's High School closed. New buildings were completed in 2006. It has eight feeder primary schools in the town. The current headteacher is Mr Kevin Henry. In 2008, the pupil roll was 1145. By 2017, this had risen to a full capacity of 1260, causing a situation when local children who applied to attend the school but were not in the associated primaries were subject to a ballot, with some being denied a place even when their older siblings were already pupils there. Marion Arnott, mystery, science fiction and fantasy writer is a teacher at the academy. Alumni Gillian Lindsay (b. 1973) – rower Paolo Nutini (b. 1987) – singer Angela Taylor (b. 1987) – ice hockey player Lucy Halliday (b. 2004) – actress References "St Andrew's Academy - Renfrewshire".

Jupiter Artland

Jupiter Artland is a contemporary sculpture park and art gallery outside the city of Edinburgh, Scotland. Jupiter Artland Foundation is a registered charity that is supported by classes, workshops, events, ticket sales, and donations. It is open to general visits throughout the year. Jupiter Artland sits in the grounds of Bonnington House, a 19th-century country house around 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) west of the city of Edinburgh. The grounds of the house have been developed as the sculpture park and two new wings designed by Benjamin Tindall Architects were completed in 2015 to provide indoor gallery space. The sculpture collection was established in 1999 by art collectors Robert and Nicky Wilson and "focuses on nurturing the work of contemporary artists and commissioning site-specific work for its 120 acres of woodland and meadow." In April 2016, Jupiter Artland was shortlisted for the 2016 Museum of the Year award. In 2018, it was a filming location for BBC Four's "Magic Numbers: Hannah Fry's Mysterious World of Maths", presented by mathematician Hannah Fry. Collection Among the permanently installed sculptures are works by Tania Kovats, Andy Goldsworthy, Tracey Emin, Anish Kapoor, Antony Gormley, Anya Gallaccio, Christian Boltanski, Cornelia Parker, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Alec Finlay, Jim Lambie, Laura Ford, Mark Quinn, Nathan Coley, Pablo Bronstein, and Phyllida Barlow.

Ramshorn Cemetery

The Ramshorn Cemetery is a cemetery in Scotland and one of Glasgow's older burial grounds, located within the Merchant City district, and along with its accompanying church, is owned by the University of Strathclyde. It has had various names, both official and unofficial: North West Parish Kirkyard; St David's Kirkyard; and Ramshorn and Blackfriars. The latter name tells of its link to Blackfriars Church, linking in turn to the pre-Reformation connection to the Blackfriars Monastery in Glasgow. The burial ground was used from 1719 to 1915. In the 20th century it was remodelled along the lines of the London Improvements Act, moving most stones to the perimeter to create a usable park area. Apart from some flat stones still remaining in-situ this has largely disconnected the stones to the actual spot of interment. In 1813 the body of Janet McAlister was stolen from the graveyard, being found with 4 others in College Street Medical School. In 1824 the church of St David was built on its southern side, designed in a fine Gothic style by the English architect Thomas Rickman, with modifications by local architect James Cleland. The cemetery is effectively in three sections: the original cemetery; an enclosed central walled area where the old church stood; and two small walled sections flanking the new church. Unusually monuments adopt only two forms: wall monuments and flat slabs, other than a small row of small 18th-century stones upright but partly sunk into the ground, standing in a line to the north-east.majority of graves are to rich Glasgow merchants. The austere style reflects Scottish Calvinist views. John Anderson, the founder of Anderson's Institute - which would evolve into the Royal College of Science and Technology and then ultimately the University of Strathclyde, is also interred in the site. Notable interments John Anderson (theologian and controversialist) (1668–1721) John Anderson (natural philosopher) (1726–1796) Andrew Buchanan of Drumpellier (1690–1759), tobacco merchant, Lord Provost of Glasgow 1740–42 Robert Carrick (1737–1821) banker and millionaire (unmarked grave) a notedly unloved man James Couper (1752–1836), astronomer David Dale (1739–1806) merchant and social reformer Robert Findlay (minister) (1721–1814) and his son Robert (1745–1862) Andrew Foulis (printer) (1716–1775) Robert Foulis (printer) (1707–1776) John Glassford (1719–1783), tobacco merchant Pierre Emile L'Angelier (1823–1857), the victim in the Madeleine Smith murder case Henry Monteith (1764–1848), Lord Provost of Glasgow 1814–1816 Andrew Dryburgh Provand (1838–1915) MP Rev Alexander Ranken, minister of the adjacent church 1785 to 1827, Moderator in 1811 Robert Rodger Lord Provost 1707–9 and 1711–3 and MP for Glasgow Burghs 1708–10 Robert Simson (1687–1768), Scottish mathematician Moses Stevens of Bellahouston (1806–1871) Hugh Wylie (d.1782), Lord Provost of Glasgow 1780–82 Other monuments A memorial to the Canadian politician, John A.

Kintyre

Kintyre (Ceann Tìre en gaélico escocés) es una península situada al oeste de Escocia, en el sudoeste del condado de Argyll y Bute. Tiene una longitud de unos 48 km, desde el Mull of Kintyre en el sur (al que Paul McCartney dedicó una conocida canción en 1977), hasta el East Loch Tarbert en el norte. La región colindante con esta península por el norte se llama Knapdale. Al sur, es el punto más cercano entre las islas de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda, separadas por el Canal del Norte de sólo unos 20 km de ancho en los estrechos de Moyle. Geográficamente, la península de Kintyre es alargada y estrecha, ya que en ningún punto supera los 18 km de costa a costa. La parte central de la península está compuesta principalmente por páramos montañosos, mientras que las zonas costeras y parte del interior están compuestos por tierras fértiles. Así pues, Kintyre ha sido una zona de frecuentes asentamientos humanos, desde los primeros escotos que migraron desde el Ulster hasta el oeste de Escocia, hasta los vikingos noruegos que conquistaron el área hacia el año 1000. La localidad más grande de la zona es Campbeltown (a unos 9 km del Mull por carretera), que ostenta el título de "Burgo Real" desde mediados del siglo XVIII. La economía de la zona se basa tradicionalmente en la pesca y la agricultura, aunque Campbeltown se ha ganado también una reputación por su whisky de malta, en especial su premiado Springbank.

Kintyre

Le Kintyre (en gaélique écossais : Cinn Tìre) est une péninsule du sud-ouest de l'Écosse, dans le Council area d'Argyll and Bute. Cette région s'étend sur une longueur de près de cinquante kilomètres, de Tarbert au nord jusqu'au Mull of Kintyre au sud. Toponymie L'anglais Kintyre ne signifie rien. C'est une déformation du gaélique. En revanche le nom gaélique Cinn Tìre signifie littéralement les "caps de la terre", ce qui rappelle le concept latin de "Finisterre". Villes et villages Bellochantuy, Campbeltown, Carradale, Clachan, Claonaig, Drumlemble, Glenbarr, Grogport, Kilchenzie, Machrihanish, Muasdale, Peninver, Saddell, Skipness, Southend, Stewarton, Tayinloan, Tarbert, et Whitehouse. Sites touristiques Église de Clachan (dalles médiévales gravées) Église de Kilchenzie church Abbaye de Saddell Château de Saddell Château de Skipness Château de Tarbert Phare de Mull of Kintyre Sports Un vaste parcours de golf existe dans les dunes bordant la Baie de Machrihanish (Machrihanish Bay). Une partie en est très ancienne, créée en 1876 dans les massifs dunaires, en en modifiant peu la forme. Une partie plus récente (Machrihanish Dunes Golf Course), tout en longueur sur 7 222 yards a été créée par David Kidd (dont le père était greenskeeper du "Machrihanish Golf Club links"). Ce second parcours a dû respecter des contraintes environnementales qui seraient « les plus sévères jamais imposées » lors d'une demande d'autorisation de création de golf, en lien avec l'Agence gouvernementale Scottish Natural Heritage, car il est entièrement installé dans une zone classée SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest), ce qui est une première au Royaume-Uni pour un terrain de golf. Les terrassements ont été réduits au minimum, et certaines zones sont exclues du parcours pour protéger les orchidées rares qui y poussent. Les actions autorisées pour le gestionnaire sont presque limitées aux tontes. Il a eu le droit, uniquement sur les greens et tertres d'ensemencer le sable avec un mélange spécial de fétuques sélectionnés par un semencier et l'usage des pesticides et engrais a été « fortement restreinte », sur les parties non plates, toute tonte est interdite, au profit d'un pâturage extensif par des moutons. Ces conditions rendent le jeu plus complexe et difficile. Références Articles connexes Test du Mull of Kintyre Portail de l’Écosse Portail du monde maritime

Kintyre

Kintyre (in lingua gaelica scozzese: Cinn Tìre, pronuncia IPA: /kʲʰiɲˈtʲʰiːɾʲə/) è una penisola della Scozia occidentale, situata nella parte sud-occidentale di Argyll e Bute. La regione si estende per approssimativamente 30 miglia (48 km) dal Mull of Kintyre a sud fino a East Loch Tarbert a nord. La regione immediatamente a nord del Kintyre è conosciuta come Knapdale. Il Kintyre è lungo e stretto, e nessun punto misura più di 18 km da costa a costa. Il lato orientale della penisola confina con il Kilbrannan Sound, con diversi picchi costieri come il Torr Mor. La parte centrale della penisola è costituita principalmente da brughiere collinari, mentre le aree costiere sono ricche e fertili. Il Kintyre è stata un'area molto ricercata dai coloni, tra cui i primi scozzesi che migrarono dall'Ulster alla Scozia occidentale e i Vichinghi e Norreni che conquistarono e si insediarono nell'area prima dell'inizio del secondo millennio. La città principale dell'area è Campbeltown, situata a circa 9 km di strada da Mull, che è un royal burgh sin dalla metà del XVIII secolo. L'economia dell'area si basa principalmente su pesca e agricoltura, anche se Campbeltown produce uno dei migliori whisky di puro malto migliori del mondo.

Kintyre (Schots-Gaelisch: Cinn Tìre) is een schiereiland in het westen van Schotland, in het zuidwesten van het raadsgebied Argyll and Bute. De regio strekt zich uit in een lengte van zo'n 48 kilometer, van de Mull of Kintyre in het zuiden, naar East Loch Tarbert in het noorden. De regio ten noorden van Kintyre heet Knapdale. Het schiereiland is lang en smal en op geen enkel punt breder dan 18 kilometer. De oostkust van Kintyre wordt begrensd door Kilbrannan Sound, een gebied met enkele kustplaatsen. Het centrale gedeelte van het schiereiland is voornamelijk heuvelachtig. De kustgebieden zijn vruchtbaar. Kintyre was lang een gewaardeerd gebied voor kolonisten, inclusief voor de Schotten, die in de vroege middeleeuwen migreerden van Ulster naar het westen van Schotland en de Vikingen die het gebied veroverden en zich er net voor het begin van het tweede millennium vestigden. De belangrijkste stad van het gebied is Campbeltown, wat een koninklijke burgh was sinds de 18e eeuw. De economie van het gebied bestond lange tijd voornamelijk uit de visserij en de landbouw. In Campbeltown wordt ook single malt whisky geproduceerd, waaronder de Springbank. In 1977 bracht Paul McCartney met Wings een eerbetoon aan dit Schotse schiereiland met de song Mull of Kintyre.

St Michael's Church (Eriskay)

St Michael's Church, officieel St Michael's of the Sea genaamd, in het Schots-Gaelisch Eaglais Naomh Mhicheil, is een 20e-eeuwse rooms-katholieke kerk, gelegen in Haun op Eriskay in de Schotse Buiten-Hebriden. Geschiedenis St Michael's Church is een simpele neogotische kerk, gebouwd in 1903 door pastoor Allan MacDonald. De kerk is gewijd aan de aartsengel Michaël. In 2001 kwam de Eriskay Causeway gereed, een stenen dam die Eriskay verbindt met South Uist. De parochie van Eriskay werd vervolgens samengevoegd met de parochie van St Peter's in Daliburgh op South Uist. De parochie behoort tot het diocees Argyll & The Isles. Bouw De oriëntatie van St Michael's Church is zuidzuidwest-noordnoordoost. Het kerkgebouw is rechthoekig met een apsis aan het noordelijke uiteinde. In de apsis bevindt zich het altaar. Het ingangsportaal bevindt zich aan de zuidoostelijke zijde van de kerk. Op dit portaal staat een kleine klokkentoren. Bij het ingangsportaal, los van de eigenlijke kerk, staat een kerkbel opgesteld, die afkomstig van het Duitse slagschip Derflinger, dat zonk bij Scapa Flow. De apsis wordt gescheiden van het schip door een drietal houten bogen. In de apsis staat het altaar, dat gemaakt is van de boeg van een reddingssloep van de HMS Hermes. Deze sloep was overboord geslagen toen dit schip meedeed aan een oefening bij Saint Kilda en spoelde aan bij Pollachar, ongeveer 4,5 kilometer ten noordwesten van Haun. Achter in de kerk, aan de zuidzijde van het gebouw, bevindt zich een houten galerij met balustrade. Externe link (en) Undiscovered Scotland, St Michael's Church
