Tullibody Old Bridge

Die Tullibody Old Bridge ist eine ehemalige Straßenbrücke über den Devon nahe der schottischen Stadt Tullibody in der Council Area Clackmannanshire. 1960 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Kategorie A aufgenommen. Des Weiteren war die Brücke zwischen 1933 und 2016 zusätzlich als Scheduled Monument geschützt. Geschichte Der exakte Bauzeitraum ist nicht überliefert. Die eigentliche Brücke über den Devon, welche den östlichen Teil des Bauwerks bildet, stammt jedoch aus dem 16. Jahrhundert und wurde vor 1555 errichtet. Die westliche Auffahrt wurde vor dem Jahr 1616 fertiggestellt. Möglicherweise wurde die Brücke im Auftrag von Robert Sibbald, Hofschneider des schottischen Königs Jakob IV., erbaut. Dies gilt jedoch keinesfalls als gesichert. 1560 wurde das Bauwerk zerstört und wiederaufgebaut. Alleine im Laufe des 17. Jahrhunderts waren drei Reparaturen an der Tullibody Old Bridge nötig. So wurde 1697 der Steinmetz Thomas Bauchop mit der Erneuerung des östlichen Bogens beauftragt. Nachdem als Ersatz direkt nördlich eine Stahlbrücke über den Devon erbaut wurde, wurde die Tullibody Old Bridge 1920 außer Dienst gestellt. Heute verläuft die A907 abermals wenige Meter nördlich über eine moderne Brücke. Die Tullibody Old Bridge ist heute ausschließlich für den nicht-motorisierten Verkehr freigegeben. Beschreibung Die Brücke quert den Devon rund zwei Kilometer vor dessen Mündung in den Forth. Sie liegt wenige hundert Meter westlich von Tullibody, direkt südlich der Grenze zwischen Clackmannanshire und Stirling. Das aus Bruchstein bestehende Bauwerk quert den Devon mit zwei Segmentbögen. Zur Vermeidung von Flutschäden sind drei weitere Bögen im Laufe der langen Auffahrt im Westen zu finden. Die Fahrbahn weist eine Breite von rund 3,5 m auf und wird von steinernen Brüstungen begrenzt. Das Gesamtbauwerk ist rund sechs Meter breit. Einzelnachweise Weblinks Eintrag zu Tullibody, Stirling Road, Old Bridge auf trove.scot, der Datenbank von Historic Environment Scotland (englisch)
Tullibody Old Bridge

Tullibody Old Bridge, over the River Devon near Tullibody, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, dates from the early 16th century. Disused after 1915, it was restored for use by walkers and cyclists in 2003. Sixteenth century Clackmannanshire Council's public information board names Robert Spittal, the court tailor to James IV and Margaret Tudor and a local philanthropist, as the person probably responsible for the bridge's construction. Spittal was also responsible for the Brig o'Teith over the River Teith at Doune. Tullibody Old Bridge was built early in the 16th century, constructed of rubble with some ashlar and was designed to impede the rapid transit of horse traffic. The plan shows two opposed bends. With two main arches and three flood arches to the west, its great length (442 ft or 134.7m) probably reflects the difficulty in crossing the flood plain at this point. The eastern arch was demolished, by William Kirkcaldy of Grange in January 1560, to hamper French troops during the regency of Mary of Guise the mother of Mary, Queen of Scots. The French commander Henri Cleutin improvised a bridge using timbers from the roof of the nearby Tullibody Old Kirk, and carried on from Fife to Stirling. A more permanent repair was made in 1560. Seventeenth century In the 17th century the bridge was often in a ruined state but was repaired several times with funds raised by tolls levied on users. In 1697 Thomas Bauchop, a mason, received a contract for repairs from the Earl of Mar. In that year he or his son, Alloa Master Mason Tobias Bauchop, built a new eastern arch and inserted iron ties. Recent history The Old Bridge went out of use in 1915 in favour of a lattice steel girder bridge, Downie's Bridge, built a short distance to the north to carry the A907 road. In 1999 the A907 was re-routed over the present concrete structure and the steel bridge, long neglected, was demolished in 2003. In January 2003, Clackmannanshire Council began restoring the Old Bridge and performed vegetation clearance, resurfacing and structural repairs to the masonry in accordance with conditions laid down by Historic Scotland. The project was completed in January 2005 and Tullibody Old Bridge now forms part of the National Cycle Network in Clackmannanshire. It is protected as a Category A listed building, and was a Scheduled Ancient Monument until 2016 when this status was removed due to dual designation.

Tweed Bridge

Die Tweed Bridge ist eine Straßenbrücke in der schottischen Kleinstadt Peebles in der Council Area Scottish Borders. 1971 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Eine ehemalige Klassifizierung als Scheduled Monument wurde 1996 aufgehoben. Geschichte Die frühste bekannte Brücke am Standort wurde um 1470 eröffnet. Im Laufe der Jahrhunderte wurde diese Brücke mehrfach überarbeitet und erweitert, woraus die heutige Tweed Bridge hervorgeht. Fragmente der ursprünglichen Brücke sind darin integriert. Im Laufe des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts wurde die Brücke mehrfach überholt. Die ursprüngliche Brücke war nur 2,4 m weit. Durch beidseitige Anbauten entstand 1834 eine 6,4 m weite Fahrbahn. Durch eine weitere, 1900 abgeschlossene Erweiterung erhielt die Brücke ihre heutige Breite von 12,2 m. Von der ursprünglichen Brücke ist heute äußerlich wenig sichtbar. Beschreibung Die Tweed Bridge ist eine Steinbogenbrücke, welche den River Tweed im Zentrum von Peebles mit fünf Bögen quert. Die Segmentbögen weisen unterschiedliche Weiten zwischen 11,6 m und 12,8 m auf. An der flussaufwärts gerichteten Westseite treten spitze Eisbrecher aus bossierten Steinquadern heraus, während sie an der Ostseite gerundet sind. Die Fassaden sind beidseitig mit Steinquadern verblendet. Unterhalb der auskragenden Brüstung verläuft ein Zahnfries. An der Nordseite führt eine Rampe mit blinden Bögen zu dem öffentlichen Grün hinab.

Tweed Bridge

The Tweed Bridge is a stone-built road bridge of five spans over the River Tweed in Peebles, in the Scottish Borders. History The Tweed Bridge is medieval in origin, although the exact date of its construction is unknown. Records show that a stone bridge has been maintained at the site since the middle of the 15th century, and work done in 1465 may have been the construction of a new bridge or substantial rebuilding or maintenance of an existing one. A mason known as John of Peebles may have worked on the bridge at that time. A plaque on the bridge states that it was originally a wooden bridge clad in stone. It was reconstructed in 1663 using stone from St Andrew's Church which had been destroyed in 1548 by an English army as part of the Rough Wooing. John Hisplop added three additional arches to the south end of the bridge in 1799, but these were removed when the Peebles Railway was built. The bridge was widened from 8 feet (2.4 m) to 21 feet (6.4 m) in 1834 by adding stonework to both sides. This work was done by John and Thomas Smith of Darnick, and the cost of around £1,000 was funded by public subscription. Between 1897 and 1900, it was widened again to 40 feet (12 m) by adding to the downstream side. This work, which cost about £8,000, was done by McTaggart, Cowan and Barker, and funded by the Town Council. On the south side of the bridge the remains of Second World War defences were evident until the road was resurfaced. The bridge was listed as a category A listed building in 1971. Plans are being considered for an additional bridge over the Tweed in the town. Design The five spans vary in length from 38 feet (12 m) to 42 feet (13 m). The oldest part of the bridge uses arches which are almost circular, but the more modern parts use flatter segmental arches. On the upstream side the piers have triangular ashlar cutwaters, and rounded profiles on the downstream side. At the north end of the bridge is an arched ramp to the east that leads to Tweed Green. The Tweed Bridge is the only road crossing of the Tweed within Peebles. It carries the B7062 public road, which is two lanes wide at this point. Near to the Tweed Bridge is the Cuddy Bridge, a single arch bridge over the Eddleston Water, a tributary of the Tweed.

Twelve Apostles (Newbridge)

Die Twelve Apostles (deutsch „Zwölf Apostel“) ist ein Steinkreis zwischen den Dörfern Holywood und Newbridge, in Dumfries and Galloway in Schottland. Es ist der siebtgrößte Steinkreis in Großbritannien und der größte auf dem schottischen Festland. Es ist ähnlich gestaltet wie die Steinkreise von Cumbria und gilt als Ausreißer dieser Gruppe. Es gibt im Burley Moor in West Yorkshire in England einen kleineren Steinkreis gleichen Namens (Twelve Apostles). Der Kreis besteht aus elf Steinen, von denen fünf in situ stehen. Ein Bild von Francis Grose aus dem Jahre 1789 und die Landaufnahme von 1791 belegen zwölf Steine. Ein Stein wurde vor 1837 entfernt, wie die neue Landaufnahme für Holywood belegt. Die lokale Überlieferung des 19. Jahrhunderts verbindet die Steine mit den zwölf Aposteln und den entfernten zwölften Stein mit Judas Iskariot. Der Steinkreis von Easthill liegt etwa 7 km westlich der Zwölf Apostel. Ein anderer Steinkreis lag eine Meile östlich, in der Nähe des Flusses Nith, er wurde zerstört. In der Nähe befinden sich zwei Cursūs (Hollywood A + B), von denen einer in Richtung des Kreises verläuft. Der ovale Kreis hat einen größten Durchmesser von etwa 89,0 Meter. Der höchste aufrechte Stein ist etwa 1,9 Meter hoch. Der längste liegt im Südwesten und ist 3,2 Meter lang. Alle Steine bis auf einen sind aus Silur; der andere aus weißem Porphyr. Vier, einschließlich des Porphyrsteins, sind Findlinge. Im Jahre 1882 wurde berichtet, dass Jahre zuvor eine 10 cm hohe Bronze-Figur im Kreis entdeckt wurde. Die als Saint Norbert identifizierte Figur aus dem 12. Jahrhundert steht im Dumfries Museum. In der Nähe liegt der Steinkreis von Easthill.

Twelve Apostles Stone Circle

The Twelve Apostles (grid reference NX9470079400) is a large stone circle located between the villages of Holywood and Newbridge, near Dumfries, Scotland. It is the seventh largest stone circle in Britain and the largest on the mainland of Scotland. It is similar in design to the stone circles of Cumbria, and is considered to be an outlier of this group. Its south-westerly arrangement aligns it with the midwinter sunset. It is a scheduled monument. Description The circle is composed of eleven stones, of which five are earthfast; however, there were originally twelve. A plan taken by Francis Grose in 1789 shows twelve stones and the First Statistical Account, published two years later, records the same number. One of the stones was removed before 1837, when the New Statistical Account entry for Holywood was compiled. The 25 inch Ordnance Survey map of 1850 shows twelve stones in the circle, but this is due to an accidental spot of blue ink on the original plan which was carried on to published work. Local traditions recorded in the nineteenth century associate the stones with the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, and link the removed twelfth stone with Judas Iscariot. W. C. Lukis notes that in one tradition the stones were said to be set up by the apostles. The tallest upright stone is around 1.9 m (6 ft 3 in) tall. The longest, lying in the south-western sector, is 3.2 m (10 ft) long. The circle measures 89 m (292 ft) at its maximum diameter. It is not a true circle in formation; rather, it is an example of Alexander Thom's Type B 'flattened circle'. All but one of the stones are Silurian rock; the other being Porphyry. Four, including the Porphyry rock, are natural boulders; the rest have been quarried. The nearest occurrence of Silurian rock is two miles away, near Irongray Church. The Easthill stone circle is 3¾ miles SSW west of the Twelve Apostles. There was another stone circle a mile east near the River Nith but this was destroyed and used for building material before the New Statistical Account was compiled. Nearby are two cursuses, one of which, if extended, would run towards the circle. In 1882 it was reported that a four inch bronze figure was uncovered at the circle some years before. This has since been identified as Saint Norbert, founder of the Premonstratensian order and dated to the twelfth century. It is now housed in the Dumfries Museum.

Tynecastle High School

Tynecastle High School is a secondary school in the Gorgie area of south west Edinburgh, Scotland. History Old school building Tynecastle High School was opened in 1912 and was for its first 98 years located at 15 McLeod Street, a B listed building. On 1 April 2007, The City of Edinburgh Council gave the go ahead to rebuild Tynecastle High School in a different area of McLeod Street. The council approved the sale of the old school building and a nearby nursery to the neighbouring Heart of Midlothian football team. The deal was for the sum of £5.9 million. The Liberal Democrats / Scottish National Party coalition that took over The City of Edinburgh Council in May 2007 signalled their plan to fight any move to demolish the old school building. Council Leader Jenny Dawe said "I can't see any way that they would get permission to knock it down. It's important for the city that we don't have a repeat of the 1960s when a lot of fine buildings were knocked down and replaced by horrible multi-storey blocks." This school is also a B-listed building and any permission for it to be altered can only be done with the permission of both the council and Historic Scotland. Previous Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov intended to build a luxury hotel, sports bars and shops alongside a new main stand for Tynecastle Stadium with a 12,000 capacity. In August 2007 it was reported that the old school would "remain untouched" in the redevelopment. Planning permission for the conversion of the old building into student accommodation was granted in 2023. New school building A new purpose built school was built across the road at no 2 McLeod Street and opened in January 2010. Notable alumni Keith Brown, politician Ewen Cameron He has two brothers; their parents split when they were young. Jason Cummings, professional footballer Paul Hanlon, professional footballer Tom Hunter, recipient of the Victoria Cross Ian Richardson an actor who played Francis Urquhart in the BBC adaption of House of Cards. His time at the school was not a happy one though. "It would be very different now but then I don't think they had a clue what to do with me, they certainly didn't understand me. I cannot remember having any friends there either. I hated it." Richard Thomson (politician), Member of Parliament for Gordon Notable former teachers Wilfred Owen, the First World War poet taught at Tynecastle when he was a patient at Craiglockhart Hospital. His spell at the school lasted three weeks in 1917. Owen praised the school in his published letters (1967).

Duntrune Castle

Duntrune Castle is located on the north side of Loch Crinan and across from the village of Crinan in Argyll and Bute, west of Scotland. It is thought to be the oldest continuously occupied castle on mainland Scotland. It was the seat of the Campbells of Duntroon until 1792. The castle is a category B listed building. History It was originally built by the MacDougall clan in the 13th century, along with several other castles in the area, including the MacDougall stronghold of Dunollie Castle near Oban. Duntrune Castle was eventually taken by the Clan Campbell, becoming the seat of the Campbells of Duntroon. In the 17th century, the castle was besieged by the rival MacDonalds, under Alasdair Mac Colla. The Campbells sold Duntrune in 1792, to the Malcolms of Poltalloch. The castle is now owned by Robin Neill Malcolm, current clan chief of the Clan Malcolm. The curtain wall of the castle dates from the 13th century, while the tower house, which forms the main part of the castle, dates from the 17th century. The castle was renovated in 1954. Popular culture The gateposts of Skyfall lodge, James Bond's childhood home in the film of the same name, were modelled after those at Duntrune. A photograph of Duntrune Castle is part of the original album inner sleeve art of the Blue Öyster Cult album Imaginos.

Castillo de Duntrune

El castillo de Duntrune, en Argyll y Bute, Escocia, es una fortificación con planta en L cuya edificación actual data del siglo XVII, aunque partes de ella, sobre todo su cortina datan del siglo XIII​ o del siglo XV.​ Construido sobre la orilla norteña del lago Crinan, es posible que una fortaleza prehistórica ocupaba el lugar anteriormente,​ aunque no quedan restos arqueológicos de ella. Perteneciente originalmente al clan de los Campbell,​ tras ser asediado en el siglo XVII por Coll Ciotach o su hijo, Alasdair MacColla,​ a finales del siglo pasó a manos del clan de los Malcolm, sus dueños actuales, y restaurado. Fue restaurado de nuevo a mediados del siglo XX.​ Referencias Bibliografía Campbell, M. y Sandeman, M.
