Wallace's Tower

Wallace's Tower is a ruined 16th-century L-plan tower house, about 3 miles (4.8 km) south west Kelso, Scottish Borders, Scotland, in Roxburgh, west of the River Teviot. History The property belonged to the Kerrs of Cessford. A charter of 1543, which confirmed Walter Ker of Cessford as owner of the lands of the East Mains of Roxburgh, mentions the tower. It has been suggested that it formed part of a chain of signal towers created to warn of English incursions. Structure The tower comprised a main block, with a vaulted basement, and a stair wing, with a tower added at a corner. The main tower was rectangular, with the wings on its north. One vaulted cellar, which measured 28.5 feet (8.7 m) by 16.5 feet (5.0 m), had two aumbries in the north west wall. There was a service-stair to the north tower, and a door into a vaulted chamber (measuring almost 12 feet (3.7 m) by over 11 feet (3.4 m) with an aumbry in the south west gable) the lowest storey of the south wing. The tower is constructed of freestone rubble. Its windows, which are small, have rounded arises.

Glenelg Inn

Glenelg Inn is a public house and inn in the village of Glenelg in the Highlands of Scotland. The current building dates to the second half of the 20th century, but remnants of the previous structure — the "imposing" Glenelg Hotel (itself a rebuild), which was largely destroyed in a 1947 fire — still stand. Early lessees of the property include George Chaffey (around 1870) and Donald Macdonald Mackintosh (around 1893). Christopher Main was the owner between 1985 and 2007. It is believed that Dr. Samuel Johnson and James Boswell stayed here on their visit to the area in the 18th century. The inn was listed in the 2017 and 2018 editions of The Good Pub Guide. The rear of the property stands on an inlet of the strait of Kyle Rhea. References External links Official website

Boleskine House

Boleskine House è una vecchia villa, molto grande ma a un solo piano, situata in Scozia, a trenta chilometri circa dalla città di Inverness. Si trova sulla riva orientale del Loch Ness, quella meno frequentata dai numerosi turisti che ogni giorno vi si avventurano, fin da quando Mr. Wilson scattò una foto del presunto mostro di Loch Ness. Storia Boleskine House ha una storia cupa e tetra che si confonde spesso con la leggenda. Vicino alla casa si trova un cimitero presso il quale si dice una volta vi sia stata anche una chiesa, sparita molto tempo fa, bruciata insieme a tutti i fedeli che vi erano intenti alla preghiera. Ma non è questo il fatto che alimenta il fascino di Boleskine House. Dal 1899 al 1918, nella grigia abitazione visse infatti il noto occultista Aleister Crowley. Crowley era mago, simbolista e scrittore, oltre che editore del periodico The Equinox. Da quando, nel 1920, Crowley abbandonò l'abitazione a se stessa, essa è diventata un luogo di culto e pellegrinaggio per i Telemiti e per i satanisti non laveyani. Questa frequentazione ha alimentato leggende e dicerie su presunti sacrifici e rituali che Crowley vi avrebbe officiato, su presunti passaggi sotterranei e segreti con il vicino cimitero e sulla vicenda di un maggiordomo di casa che, impazzito, avrebbe tentato di uccidere tutta la sua famiglia. Successivamente Crowley si trasferì nell'Abbazia di Thélema a Cefalù, finendo poi esiliato da Benito Mussolini per sospette attività antifasciste, per poi morire ad Hastings (East Sussex) nel 1947. Vicende successive Boleskine House, abbandonata per molti anni all'incuria, fu acquistata nel 1970 da Jimmy Page, chitarrista dei Led Zeppelin, che ne farà la propria dimora. Page era notoriamente un ammiratore delle arti occulte ed è tuttora uno dei maggiori collezionisti degli oggetti di Crowley. Alcuni incidenti occorsi a membri dei Led Zeppelin, culminati con la morte del figlio del cantante Robert Plant e del batterista John Bonham, avrebbero indotto Page, nel 1980, a vendere Boleskine. Negli anni successivi Boleskine House diventerà prima un Bed & breakfast per essere infine adibita ad abitazione privata. Alla fine del dicembre 2015 l'edificio è stato quasi completamente distrutto da un incendio, la cui natura non è stata ancora chiarita; solo l'ala Ovest della villa è sopravvissuta alle fiamme, le quali erano visibili fin dalla parte opposta del Loch Ness.

Inverchaolain Church is a former Church of Scotland church building in Inverchaolain, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Located on the eastern shores of Loch Striven, just north of Inverchaolain Burn, the church was built in 1912. It is the fourth church on the site. There is a possibility that the second church, rumoured to be dedicated to Saint Bridget, was located about 200 metres (660 ft) northeast of the present structure. When the foundations of the previous church were dug in 1812, several dozen human skulls were uncovered, as well as a few bones of very large size. Argyll and Bute Council have listed a claymore stone, an ancient tombstone with a Gaelic inscription and a coping stone from the pre-Reformation church, as being in an around the property. The church closed in 1990. Graveyard The graveyard contains burials and headstones from previous incarnations of the church. There were around 230 gravestones as of 2014, the earliest dating to 1732.

Clydeside (destilleri)

Clydeside er et skotsk whisky-destilleri i Glasgow, Skotland. Da produktionen begyndte i 2017, var Clydeside det andet aktive destilleri i Glasgow i over 100 år. Placering Destilleriet ligger ved en kaj ved floden Clyde i Glasgow, hvor indsejlingen til Queen's Dock tidligere lå, med SEC Centre (opført på den opfyldte dok i 1980’erne) i kort afstand mod øst. Selvom området er relativt isoleret på grund af floden direkte mod vest og syd samt infrastruktur (SEC’s parkeringsplads og A814 Clydeside Expressway samt jernbanesporene på Argyle Line) mod nord og øst, giver en gangbro over vejen og under jernbanen fodgængeradgang til kvartererne Kelvinhaugh og Yorkhill, herunder det nærliggende kunst- og eventsted SWG3. Biladgang fra begge retninger sker via Stobcross Road, som forbinder til motorvejen ved afkørslerne Finnieston (SEC Centre / Clyde Arc Bridge) og Pointhouse (Partick / Riverside Museum). Vandet, der anvendes under produktionen, hentes fra Loch Katrine i det nærliggende område Trossachs. Historie Opførelsen af destilleriet begyndte i 2016 under bygge- og anlægsvirksomheden McLaughlin & Harvey. Destilleriet åbnede i november 2017 efter en renovering til £10,5 millioner af den gamle dok-pumpestation (opført i 1877). Pumpestationen kontrollerede historisk vandstanden og muliggjorde ankomst og afgang til dokken. Destilleriet fyldte sine første fade i december 2017. Destilleriet ejes primært af Tim Morrison fra Morrison Glasgow Distillers, som er oldebarn af John Morrison, der byggede Queens' Dock og pumpestationen ved River Clyde i 1800-tallet, hvor destilleriet nu er beliggende. Morrison-familien ejede tidligere Morrison Bowmore, indtil det blev solgt til Beam Suntory i 1994. Driftsdirektøren er Andrew Morrison, søn af hovedejeren. Destillerilederen er Alistair McDonald, som tidligere var destillerileder ved Auchentoshan. I 2021 udgav Clydeside sin første single malt whisky, Stobcross, lagret på amerikanske og europæiske egetræsfade. Faciliteter Destilleriet tilbyder interaktive rundvisninger, og der er en butik og café for besøgende. Destilleriet har kapacitet til at producere op til 500.000 liter spiritus om året. Destilleriet har to Forsyth-producerede kedler, som hver vejer cirka to ton. Produkter Destilleriet producerer en Lowland-stil single malt. Referencer
Clydeside Distillery

The Clydeside Distillery is a Scotch whisky distillery in Glasgow, Scotland. When production began in 2017, Clydeside was the second active distillery in Glasgow in over 100 years. Location The distillery is at a quayside on the River Clyde in Glasgow which was formerly the entrance to the Queen's Dock, with the SEC Centre (built on the infilled dock in the 1980s) a short distance to the east. Although in a fairly isolated location due to the river directly to the west and south, and infrastructure (the SEC car park and the A814 Clydeside Expressway and Argyle Line railway tracks) to the north and east, a footbridge over the road and under the railway provides pedestrian access to the Kelvinhaugh and Yorkhill neighbourhoods including the nearby SWG3 arts and events venue. Vehicle access from either direction is via Stobcross Road which connects to the Expressway at the Finnieston (SEC Centre / Clyde Arc Bridge) and Pointhouse (Partick / Riverside Museum) exits. Water used during production is sourced from Loch Katrine in the nearby Trossachs area. History Construction of the distillery began in 2016 under the building and civil engineering company McLaughlin & Harvey. The distillery opened in November 2017 following a £10.5 million refurbishment of the old dock pumphouse (built in 1877). The pump house historically controlled the level of water allowing arrival or departure into the dock. The distillery filled its first casks in December 2017. The distillery is primarily owned by Tim Morrison of Morrison Glasgow Distillers, who is the great-grandson of John Morrison, who built the Queens' Dock and Pump House on the River Clyde in the 19th century where the distillery is now located. The Morrison family was previously owners of Morrison Bowmore until selling to Beam Suntory in 1994. The operations director is Andrew Morrison, son of the principal owner. The distillery manager is Alistair McDonald who was the former distillery manager of the Auchentoshan distillery. In 2021, Clydeside released its first single malt whisky, Stobcross matured in American and European oak casks. Facilities The distillery offers interactive tours and there is a shop and café for visitors. The distillery had the capacity to produce up to 500,000 litres of spirit each year. The distillery has two Forsyth-made stills, each weighing approximately two tonnes. Products The distillery produces a Lowland style single malt. References External links Official website
Greenbank Garden

Greenbank Garden is a 2.5-acre (10,000 m2) 18th century walled garden in Carolside, Clarkston, East Renfrewshire, Scotland, owned and operated by the National Trust for Scotland and open to the public. It is situated about six miles (10 km) from the centre of Glasgow. The garden, which is included on the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland, surrounds Greenbank House, a Category A listed building. The house has sixteen rooms, and also barns and stables. History The Georgian house was built in 1763 for Robert Allason, a Glasgow merchant. Allason was a local man who had begun life as a baker, before setting up with his brothers in Port Glasgow as a trader. He made his fortune trading with Britain's American colonies, eventually becoming a land-holder in the Caribbean. The profits from trade in both tobacco and slaves, allowed him to purchase Flenders Farm (land his family had worked for centuries) and establish the house. However, Allason's trading interests later suffered during the American War of Independence. Over the next two centuries, the house was owned by a number of families, principally several generations of the Hamilton family, from 1796 to 1961. In 1961, it was bought by William P. Blyth who, with his wife, transformed the grounds from fruit and vegetable growing to the ornamental gardens that are seen today. Then, in 1976, Mr and Mrs Blyth gifted the house, walled garden, and the 16-acre (65,000 m2) estate to the National Trust for Scotland. In 1981, an additional 20 acres were donated by the Young family (descendants of the Hamiltons). Today, the gardens are open all year round, and the house from March until October. Description Described as an "educational garden to inspire and educate visitors on what and how to grow a very wide range of more unusual plants which are available in the trade", Greenbank Garden's distinctive feature is its use of hedging and tall plants to divide the gardens into about twelve distinctly characteristic areas. The gardens contain over 3,700 plants depending on the season. These include spring bulbs, apple and cherry blossom, astilbe, aubretia, deutzia, dicentra, saxifrages, hydrangeas, primulas, dahlias, roses, philadelphus, azalea, rhododendron, lythrum, crocosmia, phlox, cosmos, echinops, sedum, lavatera, monarda, helenium and sweet william, as well as rodgersia pinnata superba, echevaria gibbiflora metallica and agrostemma. The National Trust operates a tea-room next to the garden, where there is a substantial encyclopædia of plants, allowing visitors to identify specimens they do not recognise. As well as the walled garden and the house, there are also 16 acres (65,000 m2) of woodland marked particularly by rhododendrons. The woodland also contains a herd of Highland cattle.

Loch of Spiggie

Loch of Spiggie ist ein schottischer Süßwassersee auf der Shetlandinsel Mainland. Der See liegt fast am Südende der Hauptinsel in unmittelbarer Küstennähe. Die maximale Länge des Sees beträgt 2,1 km, die maximale Breite liegt bei 0,7 km. Im Vergleich zu anderen schottischen Lochs ist der Loch of Spiggie mit einer maximalen Wassertiefe von etwa 14 Metern sehr flach. Im See befinden sich keine Inseln. Der Loch of Spiggie liegt in einem sehr dünn besiedelten Gebiet. Am Ufer des Sees befinden sich keine Ortschaften. Er ist aber über eine Nebenstraße von der B9122 mit dem Auto leicht zu erreichen. Der Loch of Spiggie war einst Teil eines Fjords, der Bucht von Scousburgh. Von dieser Bucht wurde er durch die Aufhäufung von Sanddünen getrennt, so dass sich der Loch of Spiggie von einem salzwasserhaltigen Meeresarm in einen Süßwassersee wandelte. Wegen seines Vogelreichtums bildet der Loch of Spiggie zusammen mit dem benachbarten Loch of Brow seit 1997 ein Naturschutzgebiet, das von der Royal Society for the Protection of Birds betrieben wird. Loch Spiggie ist ein Hauptüberwinterungsgebiet für isländische Singschwäne. Darüber hinaus wird der See auch als Angelgebiet genutzt, in dem vor allem Forellen gefangen werden.
