David Beaton ' s long term partner of over twenty years was Marion Ogilvy , and it is quite likely Isabella was their daughter . The original Z - plan part of the Castle of Colliston was erected in 1583 . It consists of a main block with two round towers projecting at opposite corners , and a stair turret rising in one of the re - entrant angles between the main block and tower . This tower , which also houses the entrance to the castle , is corbelled out at the top to form a gabled watch - chamber . The plan is similar to Claypotts Castle and is amply provided with wide splayed gun - loops and circular shot - holes for defence . The wall heads and the entire upper storey were remodelled at several times and are not original . Sir Henry Guthrie sold to Doctor Gordon in 1684 .

Voynuks Voynuks ( sometimes called " voynugans " or " voynegans " ) were members of the privileged Ottoman military social class established in the 1370s or the 1380s . Voynuks were tax - exempt non - Muslim , usually Slavic , Ottoman citizens from the Balkans , particularly from the regions of southern Serbia , Macedonia , Thessaly , Bulgaria and Albania and much less in Bosnia and around the Danube – Sava region . Voynuks belonged to the Sanjak of Voynuk which was not a territorial unit like other sanjak s but a separate organisational unit of the Ottoman Empire . Establishment . The term ' voynuk ' is derived from ' voynik ' which in South Slavic languages means " soldier . " This category of citizens existed in medieval Serbia . They were originally members of the existing Balkan nobility who joined Ottomans in the 14th century and were allowed to retain their estates because Ottomans regularly incorporated pre - Ottoman military groups , including voynuks , in their own system in the early period of the Ottoman expansion in order to accomplish their new conquests more easily . The social class of voynuks was established in 1370s or 1380s . Characteristics . Voynuks were tax - exempt non - Muslim citizens who provided military service in periods of war . The only form of taxes they paid was ' maktu ' , a lump - sum amount charged to the voynuk communities , not per capita . During the periods of peace they lived from agriculture , i . e . farming and cattle breeding . They were allowed to keep their ' baştinas ' ( inheritable piece of arable land ) and were entitled to looting during the war . Voynuks were important part of Ottoman forces until 16th century when their military importance began to decrease at such extent that they lost their privileged status and became equal to the position of Muslim military classes . Because of the lost privileges many voynuks began to support Venetians or Habsburgs and to join hayduk s . At the beginning of the 18th century about one third of young Christian men who lived near Ottoman / Christian borders were members of the groups of outlaws . Initially , the main task of voynuks was to guard the Ottoman borders in Bulgaria and Macedonia , either by patrolling or by incursions into the enemy territory . Later , Voynuks became auxiliary troops which provided transportation and horses for Ottoman forces during their campaigns . In the 16th century there were around 40 , 000 voynuks in Bulgaria who were registered as the largest military group in that region . During 16th and 17th century the Ottomans used the term Voynuks as synonym for Bulgarians in the Ottoman documents . Ranks . The voynuks had their own hierarchy with following ranks , starting from the highest : Voynuks were organized within Sanjak of Voynuk ( ) which was not territorial administrative unit like other regular sanjaks but one of the Ottoman organizational units of the military and social groups . The largest of such units were those of voynuks , akinci , Yürüks , Roma people and Vlachs .

Battle of the Avre The Battle of the Avre ( 4 – 5 April 1918 ) constituted the final German attack towards Amiens in World War I . It was the point at which the Germans got the closest to Amiens . It was fought between attacking German troops and defending Australian and British troops . The attack was an attempt to take Amiens , where other aspects of Operation Michael had failed . The Avre marked the beginning of the end for Luddendorf ' s March Offensive . Prelude . Preliminary moves ( 29 – 30 March ) across the southern battlefields by German 2nd Army proved so slow and difficult that offensive operations were suspended between 1 – 3 April to allow German forces to recover . Battle . 4 April . The final German attack was eventually launched towards Amiens . It came on 4 April , when fifteen divisions attacked seven Allied divisions on a line east of Amiens and north of Albert ( towards the Avre River ) . Ludendorff decided to attack the outermost eastern defenses of Amiens centred on the town of Villers - Bretonneux . His aim was to secure that town and the surrounding high ground from which artillery bombardments could systematically destroy Amiens and render it useless to the Allies . The subsequent fighting was remarkable on two counts : the first use of tanks simultaneously by both sides in the war ; and the night - time counterattack hastily organized by the Australian and British units ( including the exhausted 54th Brigade ) which dramatically re - captured Villers - Bretonneux and halted the German onslaught . From north to south , the line was held by British and Australian troops , specifically the British 14th and 18th Divisions , and the 35th Australian Battalion . However , by 4 April the 14th Division fell back under attack from the German 228th Division . The Australians held off the 9th Bavarian Reserve Division and the British 18th Division held off the German Guards Ersatz Division and 19th Divisions First Battle of Villers - Bretonneux . 5 April . An attempt by the Germans to renew the offensive on 5 April failed and by early morning British Empire troops had forced the enemy out of all but the south - eastern corner of the town . German progress towards Amiens , having reached its furthest point westward , had finally been held . Ludendorff called a halt to the offensive .
Slava - class cruiser The Slava " class cruiser ( Soviet designation Project 1164 " Atlant ) is a type of large , conventionally powered warship , designed and constructed for the Soviet Navy and currently operated by the Russian Navy . Design . The design started in the late 1960s , based around use of the P - 500 Bazalt missile , and was intended as a less expensive conventionally powered alternative to the nuclear - powered Kirov class battlecruiser . There was a long delay in this programme , while the problems with the Bazalt were resolved . These ships acted as flagships for numerous task forces . All ships were built at the 61 Kommunar yard , in Mykolaiv , Ukraine ( Nikolaev ) . The class was a follow up to the Kara class cruiser which the Soviet Navy typed as a Large Anti - submarine Ship ( Russ . BPK ) , constructed at the same shipyard and appears to be built on a stretched version of " Kara " hull . The Slava class was initially designated BLACKCOM 1 ( Black Sea Combatant 1 ) and then designated the Krasina class for a short period until " Slava " was observed at sea . The SS - N - 12 launchers are fixed facing forward at around 8° elevation with no reloads available . As there was nothing revolutionary about the design of the class western observers felt they were created as a hedge against the failure of the more radical " Kirov " class . The helicopter hangar deck is located 1 / 2 deck below the landing pad with a ramp connecting the two . Originally 10 ships were planned , but with the collapse of the Soviet Union only three were completed . A fourth vessel was launched , but final construction remains incomplete and the ship has not been commissioned into service . Today , the three finished ships serve in the Russian Navy and the uncompleted fourth vessel , renamed " " Ukrayina " " , is owned by Ukraine . Efforts have been made to complete and update the unfinished ship ; in 2010 , Ukrainian president Yanukovich stated that Russia and Ukraine would work together on the project . Russia has also expressed interest in purchasing the vessel , which Ukraine has previously offered for sale . However , as of early 2011 no final agreement has been concluded between the two countries , on this matter . The Russian navy has plans for extensive upgrades of all their Slava - class vessels during the 2010s ; completing work on the " Ukrayina " may serve as a test - bed this . < / div >
