Gordon Highlanders Museum

The Gordon Highlanders Museum is based in Aberdeen, Scotland and celebrates the story of the Gordon Highlanders regiment, which originated as the 92nd (Gordon Highlanders) Regiment of Foot in 1794, merged with the 75th (Stirlingshire) Regiment of Foot to form the Gordon Highlanders in 1881 and was then amalgamated into a new larger unit of the British Army in 1994. It is a five-star VisitScotland attraction and the only one of its kind in Aberdeen. History The museum is located in a 19th-century house which was purchased by the Scottish artist, Sir George Reid in 1867, and in which he lived and worked. It was acquired by the War Office in 1960 to be the regimental headquarters and then, after being transferred to the ownership of the trustees of the regiment in 1994, it was extended and re-opened as a museum in 1997. Location and facilities The museum is located in an angle of Viewfield Road, near a stream. It has a tea room facility, a volunteer-maintained garden, and both the museum and the garden can be rented as event venues. The collection The museum contains historical artefacts, memorabilia and regimental silverware. Within the building are a main gallery - the Grant Room - and a display of edged weapons and guns in the Armoury, along with a mock-up of the Regimental Officers' Mess, a Silver Room and a temporary exhibition space. Works by Sir George Reid are on loan from Aberdeen Art Gallery, and are displayed in various locations. A replica of a First World War trench was opened in 2019, and a 50% growth in visitor numbers followed. The Moffat Trench project won a tourism award at the end of 2019. Operations The museum is independent, self-financed and is governed by a charitable trust. Senior staff include the CEO and a curator. Its finances come predominantly from fundraisers and donations, and having nearly closed in 2016, after a downturn in corporate donations, notably from the oil and gas sector, it had recovered by 2019. Its operations are supported by, as of 2019, at least 170 volunteers. It also hosts the Aberdeen Modellers Society (AMS) who meet on a regular basis at the museum. OBE for museum's Chief Executive In the 2026 Birthday Honours, the Chief Executive of the museum John Fraser McLeish was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire. Popular culture The museum was selected as one of the named locations for the 2019 Aberdeen edition of the game Monopoly. References External links Official Website
Gosford House

La Gosford House è una storica residenza in stile neoclassico situata nei dintorni della cittadina scozzese di Longniddry, nel Lothian Orientale: costruita tra la fine del XVIII secolo e gli inizi del XIX secolo su progetto di Robert Adam (1728-1792) e ricostruita nel 1890 su progetto di William Young, fu la dimora della famiglia Charteris, conti di Wemyss e di March. Storia La costruzione dell'edificio iniziò alla fine del XVIII secolo per volere del VII conte di Wemyss. Fu uno degli ultimi edifici progettati da Robert Adam, che morì nel 1792. Nel 1800, vale a dire 8 anni dopo la morte dell'architetto Robert Adam l'edificio non era ancora completo e lo stesso VIII conte di Wemyss, che non gradiva lo stile di Adam, decise di far demolire l'edificio. In seguito, nel 1890, il X conte di Wemyss incaricò l'architetto William Young di progettare la ricostruzione dell'edificio. Durante la seconda guerra mondiale, l'edificio fu occupato dalle truppe britanniche, che nel 1940 diedero fuoco alle stanze del piano centrale. Nonostante la parziale distruzione, Gosford House fu la residenza principale del XII conte di Wemyss nel corso degli anni cinquanta. Architettura L'edificio è situato a circa 3 km a nord-est di Longniddry e si affaccia sulla Gosford Bay. Gli interni dell'edificio si caratterizzano in parte per lo stile neoclassico di Adam e in parte per lo stile italiano del progetto successivo. Tra le stanze principali dell'edificio, figura la Marble Hall, in stile italiano e vittoriano. Degna di nota è anche la collezione d'arte della Gosford House, in gran parte raccolta dal X conte di Wemyss, che comprende opere di Botticelli, Romanino, Murillo e Rubens. Nella tenuta circostante, si trovano, tra l'altro, un mausoleo, una casa del ghiaccio, ecc. Gosford House nella cultura di massa Gosford House fu una delle location del film del 1998, diretto da Don Boyd e con protagonisti Amanda Boyd, John Daszak ed Andrew Greenan, Lucia. Gosford House fu una delle location del film del 2000, diretto da Terence Davies e con protagonisti Gillian Anderson, Dan Aykroyd, Eleanor Bron, La casa della gioia (The House of Myrth). Nel 2017 ha funto da location per la tenuta di Helwater per la serie televisiva di Starz, Outlander Note Altri progetti Wikimedia Commons contiene immagini o altri file su Gosford House Collegamenti esterni (EN) Gosford House - Sito ufficiale, su gosfordhouse.co.uk.

Govan Old Parish Church

Die Govan Old Parish Church ist ein Kirchengebäude der presbyterianischen Church of Scotland in der schottischen Stadt Glasgow. 1966 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen. Geschichte Christen nutzten den Standort bereits seit Jahrhunderten. Hierauf deuten auch die Keltenkreuze und Hogbacks auf dem umgebenden Kirchhof hin. Die ältesten wurden um das Jahr 900 geschaffen. 1876 reichte John Burnet einen Entwurf zur Modernisierung des Vorgängerbauwerks am selben Standort ein. Dieser wurde jedoch nicht umgesetzt. Robert Rowand Anderson reichte einen Entwurf zu Erweiterung des bestehende Bauwerks ein, der jedoch auch abgelehnt wurde. Stattdessen entschied man sich 1882 für einen Kirchenneubau, dem sechsten an diesem Standort, nach einem Entwurf Andersons. Dieser wurde bis 1884 umgesetzt. 1912 wurde Anderson mit der Erweiterung des Chors betraut. Nach 1940 wurde das Bauwerk überarbeitet. Beschreibung Das Gebäude steht abseits der Govan Road im südlichen Glasgower Stadtteil Govan am linken Clyde-Ufer. Die Kreuzkirche ist im neogotischen Stil ausgestaltet. Ein Glockenturm war geplant und ein Fundament an der Westseite wurde geschaffen, der Turmbau jedoch nie ausgeführt. Das spitzbögige Eingangsportal an der südlichen Giebelseite ist einer reliefierten Archivolte gestaltet. Die flankierenden spitzbögigen Aussparungen tragen Maßwerke mit Trumeaupfeilern. Drei hohe Lanzettfenster ziehen sich entlang der Giebelseite oberhalb des Portals. Mit Ausnahme der blinden Dreipässe und des Giebelkreuzes ist die Fassade schmucklos. Wuchtige Strebepfeiler flankieren das Portal. Entlang des Langhauses sind sechs Lanzettfenster angeordnet. Strebepfeiler gliedern die Fassade vertikal. Das Querschiff ist mit zwei Giebeln gestaltet. Jeder zeigt drei blinde Lanzettfenster und eine Fensterrose. Die abschließenden Dächer sind mit Schiefer eingedeckt.

Governor's House, Edinburgh

Governor's House is a building situated on the southernmost spur of Calton Hill, beside the south-east corner of Old Calton Burial Ground, in Edinburgh, Scotland. It looks out over Waverley Station, the Canongate and Holyrood Park to the south. The building of 1815–17 is all that remains of Calton Jail, once the largest prison in Scotland, completed in 1817. It was designed by Archibald Elliot (1761-1823) who was also responsible for the nearby Waterloo Place and Regent Arch. The House contained the Committee Room used by the Commissioners who governed the prison. Its castellated and turreted form is similar to James Craig's Old Observatory House on Calton Hill, but its design was more likely influenced by Robert Adam's older 'Bridewell' of 1791, which stood alongside the newer prison. The jail closed in 1927 and, except for the Governor's House, was demolished in 1937 to make way for St Andrew's House. Until recently, the building housed the Scottish Government's multimedia team and, for a time, was considered as a possible official residence for Scotland's First Minister, replacing the National Trust for Scotland-owned Bute House. Governor's House is where the Scottish Fiscal Commission is based. References External links Historic Environment Scotland. "Edinburgh, Regent Road, Calton Jail (Site no. NT27SE 245.2)".
Governor's House

Governor's House (en français : Maison du Gouverneur) est un bâtiment situé sur l'éperon le plus au sud de Calton Hill, près du coin sud-est du cimetière Old Calton, à Édimbourg, en Écosse. Il donne sur la gare de Waverley, Canongate et Holyrood Park au sud. Histoire Le bâtiment de 1815-1817 est tout ce qui reste de la prison de Calton, autrefois la plus grande prison d'Écosse, achevée en 1817 . Il a été conçu par Archibald Elliot (1761-1823), également responsable de Waterloo Place et de Regent Arch, situés à proximité. La Chambre contenait la salle du Comité utilisée par les commissaires qui gouvernaient la prison. Sa forme en créneaux et à tourelles est semblable à celle de l’ancien observatoire de James Craig à Calton Hill, mais sa conception a sans doute été influencée par l’ancien «Bridewell» de Robert Adam de 1791, qui jouxtait la nouvelle prison. La prison ferme en 1927 et, à l'exception de la maison du gouverneur, est démolie en 1937 pour laisser place à St Andrew's House. Fonction Jusqu'à récemment, le bâtiment abritait l'équipe multimédia du gouvernement écossais. Il a été évoqué pendant un temps comme un possible domicile officiel pour le Premier ministre écossais, remplaçant ainsi la Bute House, propriété du National Trust for Scotland. Actuellement, la Maison du Gouverneur est le siège de la Commission écossaise des droits de l'homme et de la Commission fiscale écossaise .

Gracemount High School

Gracemount High School (GHS) is a non-denominational six-year comprehensive secondary school serving south-east Edinburgh, Scotland. It has a current roll of over 600 pupils and around 80 staff. It is operated by City of Edinburgh Council, the local education authority. No current inspection report is available and it was last inspected in 2013. League tables, published in 2019, ranking the percentage of pupils attaining five or more awards at SCQF Level 6 (Scottish Higher) in 2019, placed Gracemount High at 331 out of 339 schools with 13 per cent; the Scottish Government benchmark figure for GHS was 22. The Scottish Government's school information dashboard for Gracemount High shows attainment levels at SCQF Level 3 in S3 at over 90 per cent for reading and listening and talking in 2018–19; 73 per cent of pupils leave with at least one award at SCQF level 5 or better. History Old building The original school building was opened on 29 October 1959 as a junior secondary school and became a six-year comprehensive school in the 1960s. In 2000, with the school in a very poor state and needing repairs, Edinburgh Council decided that the cost of repairing the building was too great, and that creating a new building would be a more viable solution. Before the original school building closed and was then demolished in 2003, ex-teaching staff and students gathered for a party to mark the end of the original school building which stood for over forty years. New building Pupils and staff moved into the new building in August 2003. It is located adjacent to Captain's Road, and to where the old school formerly stood. The functional design has a central hall with classroom wings leading off. The building was created under a public-private partnership (PPP) scheme by Edinburgh Schools Partnership (ESP). Gracemount was one of several 21st-century school buildings in Edinburgh found to be defective. The schools had all been built by Miller Construction, which was acquired by Galliford Try in 2014. Construction expert Prof John Cole published a damning report into the scandal in 2017. Following this the ESP agreed to pay for all structural repair work (Nov 2018). Cycling event The school was the halfway point for the 2017 London–Edinburgh–London cycle ride. References External links Images of the 1950s building

Grampian Transport Museum

Grampian Transport Museum is a transport museum and charitable trust located in Alford, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Its exhibits focus on the history of transport in the north east of Scotland and include working and climb-aboard vehicles, static displays, and video presentations. History The museum was formed after a group of local transport enthusiasts and collectors in the early 1970s sought to develop a local transport museum. In 1978, the group held a public meeting at which, after an offer was made to lease the former goods yard to the north of the former Alford railway station, the Grampian Transport Museum Association was formed. A pilot museum was established in a local factory in 1981, and after the first annual Alford Cavalcade vintage vehicle rally held during July, a combination of local councils offered grants and subsidies to establish a permanent exhibition base. Construction work on the current building was completed in September 1982, and the museum opened in April 1983. An extension was completed in 1998, landscaping and a track added in the early 2000s, and a second building, the Collections Centre, to house larger exhibits in the 2010s. In 2016, the museum completed a new reception extension to improve the frontage of the museum and provide a warm welcome to its visitors. Exhibition Major exhibits include the world's oldest 1914 Sentinel steam waggon, a giant Mack snowplough, and a working model of Robert Davidson's motor for electric traction. The wider collection includes historic and classic automobiles, motorcycles, a double-decker bus, bicycles, steam vehicles, an electric tram, toy model vehicles, and transport memorabilia. One of Aberdeen's hydrogen buses was gifted to the museum in 2020. The exhibition And On That Bombshell, featuring vehicles that appeared on the Top Gear television programme, opened on 28 March 2025 and ran until the end of that year. Events In addition to its exhibitions, Grampian Transport Museum hosts events and shows throughout the season. These allow members of the public to display privately owned vehicles and provide educational and interactive experiences, including rides in historic vehicles.
