Hywind Scotland

Hywind Scotland is the world's first commercial wind farm using floating wind turbines, situated 29 kilometres (18 mi) off Peterhead, Scotland. The farm has five 6 MW Siemens direct-drive turbines on Hywind floating monopiles, with a total capacity of 30 MW. It is operated by Hywind (Scotland) Limited, a joint venture of Equinor (75%) and Masdar (25%). Equinor (then: Statoil) launched the world's first operational deep-water floating large-capacity wind turbine in 2009, the 2.3 MW Hywind, which cost 400 million NOK (US$71 million, $31/W). The 120 metres (390 ft) tall tower with a 2.3 MW Siemens turbine was towed from the Åmøy fjord and 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) offshore into the North Sea in 220 metres (720 ft) deep water, off of Stavanger, Norway on 9 June 2009 for a two-year test run, but remains working at the site while surviving 40 m/s (89 mph) wind speed and 19 m waves. In 2015, the company received permission to install the wind farm in Scotland, in an attempt at reducing the cost relative to the original Hywind, in accordance with the Scottish Government's commitment for cost reduction. Manufacturing for the project, with a budgeted cost of NOK2 billion (£152m), started in 2016 in Spain, Norway and Scotland. The turbines were assembled in Stord Municipality in Norway in summer 2017 using the Saipem 7000 floating crane, and the finished turbines were moved to near Peterhead. Three suction anchors hold each turbine, measuring 16 metres in height, 5 metres in diameter, and weighing 300 tonnes each. Hywind Scotland was commissioned in October 2017. While cost was reduced compared to the very expensive Hywind One at $31m/MW, it still came with a final capital cost of £264m, or £8.8m/MW, approximately three times the capital cost of fixed offshore windfarms. Measured by unit cost, Hywind's levelized cost of electricity (LCoE) is then £180/MWh ($248/MWh), about three times the typical LCoE of a fixed offshore wind farm at £55/MWh ($75.7/MWh). The high cost is partly compensated by £165.27/MWh from Renewable Obligation Certificates. In its first 5 years of operation the facility has averaged a capacity factor of 54%, sometimes in 10 meter waves. By shutting down at the worst conditions, it survived Hurricane Ophelia, and then Storm Caroline with wind gusts at 160 km/h (99 mph) and waves of 8.2 metres. The subsequent 88 MW Hywind Tampen (with concrete floating foundations) became operational at the Snorre and Gullfaks oil fields in Norway in 2023 at a cost of NOK 8 billion or £600m (£6.8/MW). In May 2024 all 5 turbines were to be towed back to Norway for several months of the heavy maintenance of replacing the main bearings. All turbines were operating again by October 2024.

Neish Island

Neish Island is an island in Loch Earn, Scotland. History It is recorded that in 1490 James IV of Scotland ordered Lord Drummond to cast down the house of the Ester (eastern) Isle of Loch Ern (Neish Island) and destroy all the strengths of the same and take away the boat and put it at the Wester (western) Isle. The Neishes apparently had the only boat on the loch and although the dwelling was demolished the Neishes repaired it and continued to live there, occupying most of the land near St Fillans and as far west as Tyndrum. The Neishes apparently took refuge on the island after being defeated by the Clan Macnab at the Battle of Glenboultachan in 1522. The Neishes or MacNeishes are regarded as a sept of the Clan Gregor. In a later part of the feud, in 1612, when the Neishes robbed the Macnabs, the Macnabs apparently took revenge by attacking the Neishes on the island, all of whom were killed except for one small boy who hid under a bed and from who all of the name Neish are allegedly descended. According to the New Statistical Account of Scotland there is a tradition that the Neishes or Nishes felt that they were safe from reprisals on the island because they had the only boat on the loch, but the Macnabs went to the effort of carrying their own boat on their shoulders and over the Grampian Mountains to get to the island. The Neishes had a small castle on the island and the ruins of it still remain, and the remnants of a little boat abandoned by the Macnabs on their way back over the hills were still seen into the early part of the 20th Century. The castle on the island consisted of a square keep, divided into chambers and constructed with thick walls. A small harbour and landing place for boats still exists on the east side of the island.

Isle of Arran (palírna)

Isle of Arran je skotská palírna společnosti Harold Curry nacházející se na okraji ostrova Arran na odlehlém místě zvaném Lochranza, jež vyrábí skotskou sladovou malt whisky. Historie Palírna byla založena v roce 1995 a produkuje čistou sladovou malt whisky. Tato palírna vznikla poměrně nedávno i když na tomto ostrově měla kdysi své předchůdce. Kdysi zde stály tři palírny, ale ta poslední Torin zanikla v 30. letech 20. století. Úplně první whisky z této palírny vyšla 29. června 1995. Produkuje whisky značky Arran z čehož většina produkce se používá do míchaných whisek. Tato whisky má sladké rašelinovo-kakaové chuti.

Lochranza (destilleri)

Lochranza er et skotsk whisky-destilleri, der ligger i Lochranza på øen Isle of Arran ud for Skotlands vestkyst. Det udgiver primært whisky under navnet The Arran. Historie I 1994 blev Arran Distillers Ltd. grundlagt af Harold Currie, tidligere direktør for Chivas og D-dagsveteran, med henblik på at opføre et destilleri på Arran. Under opførelsen byggede et par kongeørne rede på en klippe nær destilleriet; da kongeørne er en beskyttet art, blev byggeriet midlertidigt standset. Destilleriet, som blev finansieret af private investorer og salg af obligationer, åbnede i 1995. Der fandtes tidligere omkring halvtreds destillerier på øen, men de fleste var såkaldte "moonlight"- eller illegale destillerier. Det senest lovligt etablerede destilleri på Arran, kaldet Lagg, lukkede i 1837. Indtil for nylig blev en del af fadene opbevaret i lagerbygningerne hos Springbank på grund af pladsmangel og den juridiske umulighed i at udvide de eksisterende lagerbygninger ved Arran-destilleriet. Destilleriet har nu et lager på selve området, hvilket giver lettere adgang til fadene. Destilleriet tilbyder desuden en ordning, hvor private kan købe deres eget whiskytønde, som kan opbevares på stedet. Lochranza-destilleriet er protektor for World Robert Burns Federation og har i den forbindelse skabt en Robert Burns single malt og en Robert Burns blended whisky til ære for Skotlands nationaldigter. Det er det eneste whiskydestilleri, der må anvende Robert Burns’ billede og signatur på sin emballage. Arrans whisky anvendes hovedsageligt til produktion af deres single malt, men en mindre del indgår også i deres blended-serie: Lochranza Blend, Robert Burns Blend og Arran Gold Single Malt Whisky Cream Liqueur. Arran-destilleriet havde underskud i mange år frem til 2010. I 2003 solgte Currie sine aktier og trådte ud af bestyrelsen. De resterende aktionærer ejer virksomheden under navnet Isle of Arran Distillers Ltd., og den administrerende direktør er Euan Mitchell. I 2010 blev en 15-års jubilæumsudgave lanceret i forbindelse med destilleriets åbent hus den 3. juli. I efteråret 2010 udkom også den første officielle 14-årige aftapning fra destilleriet. Den første røgede Arran single malt (kaldet Machrie Moor) har været tilgængelig siden 8. december 2010. Destilleriet fejrede sit 21-års jubilæum i juni 2016. Lagg Planer om at opføre et andet destilleri i Lagg på den sydlige del af øen blev godkendt i august 2016, og byggeriet begyndte i oktober 2016. Lagg-destilleriet påbegyndte produktionen i april 2019. Besøgscentret åbnede den 1. juli 2019. Efter at virksomheden har åbnet et andet destilleri på øen, omtales destillerierne som henholdsvis Lochranza og Lagg. I maj 2020 blev en ny blended whisky annonceret, sammensat af whisky fra begge Arran-destillerier. Referencer Eksterne henvisninger
Lochranza distillery

Lochranza distillery is a whisky distillery in Lochranza, Scotland, on the Isle of Arran. It primarily releases its whisky under the Arran name. In 1994 Arran Distillers Ltd. was founded by Harold Currie, former director of Chivas and a D-Day veteran, with the intention of building a distillery on Arran. During the construction of the distillery, a pair of golden eagles built their nest on a cliff near the distillery; since golden eagles are a protected species, construction of the distillery was temporarily halted. The distillery, funded by private investors and the sale of bonds, opened in 1995. There used to be about fifty distilleries on the island, but most of them were "moonlight" or illegal distilleries. The most recent legally founded distillery on Arran, called ''Lagg'' closed in 1837. Until recently a proportion of the casks were stored in the warehouses of Springbank, due to a lack of room in the distillery, and the legal impossibility of extending the current warehouses at the Arran distillery. However, the distillery now has a storage warehouse, on site, that allows easier access to barrels. The distillery offers a cask purchase scheme which offers private individuals the opportunity to own their own cask of whisky, which can be stored on site at the distillery. The Lochranza distillery is a patron of the World Robert Burns Federation and as such has created a Robert Burns single malt and Robert Burns blended whisky in honour of Scotland's national poet. They are the only whisky distillery to be able to use the image and signature of Robert Burns on their packaging. The whisky of Arran is mostly used to produce their single malt whisky, but a small proportion also goes into the production of their range of blended whiskies: Lochranza Blend, Robert Burns Blend and Arran Gold Single Malt Whisky Cream Liqueur. The Arran distillery traded at a loss for many years until 2010. In 2003 Currie sold his shares and resigned from the board, the remaining shareholders own the business known as Isle of Arran Distillers Ltd., and the managing director is Euan Mitchell. 2010 saw the release of a 15th Anniversary bottling on the occasion of the distillery open day on 3 July. Autumn 2010 also saw the release of the first official 14-year-old to be released by the distillery. The first peated Arran single malt (called Machrie Moor) has been available since 8 December 2010. The distillery celebrated its 21st anniversary in June 2016. Lagg Plans for the company to build a second distillery in Lagg at the south end of the island were approved in August 2016 and building work began on this project in October 2016. Lagg distillery began production in April 2019 and opened its visitor center on 1 July 2019. As the company has now opened a second distillery on the island, the distilleries are referred to as 'Lochranza' and 'Lagg'. In May 2020, a new blended whisky was announced which is made up from whisky from both of the Arran distilleries.

Arran (distillerie)

Arran est une distillerie de whisky située sur l'île d'Arran en Écosse. Sise à Lochranza, elle a été fondée en 1995. Arran a une longue histoire dans le monde du whisky. Au milieu du XVIIIe siècle il existait près de cinquante distilleries sur l’île (la plupart clandestines), mais elles ont toutes fermé depuis, à l'exception de la distillerie d'Arran et de celle de Lagg. La création de la nouvelle distillerie en 1995 renouvelle donc la tradition sur Arran. L’eau-de-vie qui y est produite a reçu l’appellation « whisky » en 1998. La distillerie possède 2 wash still et 2 spirit still. Production La distillerie d’Arran produit un single malt vendu en nom propre : Arran Robert Burns Arran 10 ans Arran 12 ans Arran 100 Proof Arran Sherry Cask Arran Moscatel Arran Sassicaia Arran Valdespino Fino Sherry Arran Fontalloro Arran Madeira ainsi que d'autres séries limitées, single casks et collectors. Une partie des fûts est stockée dans les entrepôts de Springbank, à cause du manque de place et de l'impossibilité légale de les agrandir. Le whisky Arran est utilisé dans de nombreux blends, parmi lesquels on trouve Robert Burns, Loch Ranza et Holy Isle Cream Liquor.

Arran distilleries

Arran Island Single Malt of Arran Single Malt is een Schotse single malt whisky die wordt geproduceerd door Isle of Arran Distillers Ltd, gevestigd in Lochranza op het eiland Arran. Deze distilleerderij werd in 1995 geopend, en daarmee was het de eerste nieuwe (legale) distilleerderij sinds 1836, toen de laatste sloot. De distilleerderij werd opgericht door Harold Currie, voormalig directeur van Chivas Regal. Het water dat wordt gebruikt is afkomstig uit Loch na Davie. Omdat de naam whisky pas mag worden gebruikt na een rijpingsproces dat minimaal 3 jaar en 1 dag heeft geduurd, is Arran Distilleries pas sinds 1998 een whiskyproducent. Om dat te vieren werd een gelimiteerde oplage voor verkoop vrijgegeven, een traditioneel gebruik. Arran Single Malt wordt vaak gebruikt in blended whiskies, zoals Lochranza en Holy Isle Cream Liquor.
Arran (whisky)

Arran Distillery – destylarnia single malt whisky, znajdująca się w mieście Lochranza w Szkocji. Założona w 1995 jest pierwszą legalną destylarnią na wyspie od ponad 150 lat. Na Arran były już wcześniej destylarnie – łącznie ok. 50, jednak większość z nich produkowała tylko na potrzeby innych lub działała nielegalnie. Woda czerpana jest z Loch na Davie. Destylarnia Destylarnia Arran założona została przez Harolda Currie, byłego dyrektora Chivas Regal. Destylat produkowany w zakładzie po raz pierwszy miano "whisky" zyskał latem 1998. By uczcić to zdarzenie wypuszczono limitowaną serię butelek, upamiętniającą stare gorzelnicze tradycje. Do niedawna, ze względu na brak miejsca do składowania w zakładzie, beczki z whisky leżakowały w Springbank, Obecnie destylarnia posiada dodatkowy magazyn, który pozwala na łatwy dostęp do beczek na miejscu. Butelkowanie Whisky z Arran jest używana do wielu gatunków whisky mieszanej, wśród nich Loch Ranza oraz likier Holy Isle Cream. Do własnych produktów należą: Arran 10 Yr old Arran 100° proof Single Cask Robert Burns Single Malt Cask Finish Programme Cask Finish Programme różnią się od siebie w zależności od tego, w jakiej beczce leżakowała whisky – min. po sherry, tokaju, burbonie.

Arran Distillery

Isle of Arran Distillers i Lochranza på ön Arrans nordkust är ett av Skottlands nyaste destillerier grundat 1995 av Harold Currie, tidigare direktör hos Chivas Regal. Finansieringen ordnades med hjälp av att allmänheten fick köpa andelar som senare löstes ut i form av whisky. Anläggningen är byggd enligt de gamla skotska principerna och tillverkningen sker bara sommartid. Man producerar single malt under varumärkena Arran Single Malt, och Robert Burns samt blended whisky under varumärket Glenn Rosa. Whiskyn används även i annan blended whisky, som Loch Ranza och Holy Isle Cream Liquor. Verksamheten går bra, destilleriområdet har blivit för litet och man tvingas lagra fat hos konkurrenten Springbank i Campbeltown. Externa länkar Arran Distillers
New Anniesland

New Anniesland is a sports ground in the Anniesland area of Glasgow, Scotland, used for rugby union and cricket. Owned by The Glasgow Academical Club, a sports and social club for alumni of The Glasgow Academy, it is the home ground of Glasgow Academicals RFC and Glasgow Academical Cricket Club. History New Anniesland was opened in 1902, following The Glasgow Academy's purchase of farmland adjacent to their existing sports ground, which they had occupied since 1883. The original ground, subsequently called Old Anniesland, was then taken over by the University of Glasgow. A cricket pavilion, groundsman's house and small grandstand, designed by the Laird brothers, were built in 1908. The ground also included curling rinks at this time. The original pavilion is still in use by the Glasgow Academical Cricket Club in the 21st century, albeit with later extensions, and is thought to be the oldest cricket pavilion in Glasgow. Wooden terraces and stands were constructed for rugby matches, and a crowd of 10,000 — then a record for Scottish club rugby — watched Glasgow Accies play Heriot's FP in 1922. Although these structures no longer exist, the ground still features a small timber grandstand, backing onto Helensburgh Drive, which dates to 1958. The ground hosted fixtures during the 2004 IRB Under 21 Rugby World Cup, and was used as a training ground for international teams preparing for the Rugby Sevens at Ibrox during the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games. International cricket New Anniesland was one of the venues when Scotland hosted the European Cricket Championship in 2000 and 2006. In 2000, it staged Israel's matches against Portugal and Greece. The 2006 fixtures featured Israel three times, against Jersey, Norway and France, as well Scotland against Denmark and the Division Two final between Jersey and Norway.

New Register House

New Register House est le bâtiment principal du General Register Office for Scotland (Archives pour l'Ecosse), situé près de St Andrew Square à l'extrémité est de Princes Street dans la New Town d'Édimbourg, en Écosse. Il abrite également le Accountant in Bankruptcy (en) et la Cour du Lord Lyon et abrita le bureau du directeur de la chancellerie jusqu'à son abolition en 1928. Architecture et construction Le bâtiment est situé dans West Register Street, à Édimbourg, derrière la Register House de Robert Adam (XVIIIe siècle) (appelée maintenant General Register House). La structure à l'italienne a été construite par l'architecte Robert Matheson entre 1859 et 1863 et était complémentaire du style architectural original néoclassique de la Register House d'Adam. Un portique a été ajouté à l'élévation sud pour lui donner le caractère d'un édifice public. Une nouvelle maison d'enregistrement était nécessaire pour fournir une capacité de stockage supplémentaire aux archives écossaises, en particulier pour les actes de naissance, de décès et de mariage, qui étaient le résultat d'un enregistrement obligatoire après 1855. Le bâtiment a été occupé pour la première fois en 1861 et achevé en 1863 après l'ajout de cinq bureaux à chaque étage du côté nord. Le comptable en faillites et les services de Lord Lyon se sont également vu attribuer des salles. Fermeture potentielle En janvier 2015, il a été révélé que la fermeture de la New Register House et de la General Register House voisine avait été recommandée, et que le personnel et les archives publiques seraient situés dans d'autres bâtiments à Édimbourg.
