    EAST AYRSHIRE COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES COMMITTEE: 18 DECEMBER 2001 99/0723/FL: CHANGE OF USE FROM VARIOUS USES TO AMUSEMENT PARK, INCLUDING ERECTION OF PLAY FORT AT LOUDOUN CASTLE PARK, GALSTON BY LOUDOUN CASTLE (THEME PARK) LTD 99/0708/FL: ERECTION OF DROP TOWER AT LOUDOUN CASTLE PARK, GALSTON BY LOUDOUN CASTLE (THEME PARK) LTD EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SHEET 1. DEVELOPMENT DESCRIPTION 1.1 There is a full application for the change of use of various existing uses to an amusement park including the erection of a play fort. Such a designation would, if unrestricted, permit the applicant to erect unlimited numbers of rides within the site up to a maximum of 25 metres in height utilising the permitted development rights that would be conferred through any consent for an amusement park. The proposed play fort is located immediately north of the east-west internal road within the Garden Plantation. The fort measures 15.2 m x 15.2 m and is to be constructed from logs taking account of the location of existing trees. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), including a Transport Impact Assessment (TIA) and an Ecology Assessment have been submitted in respect of this application. The EIA is required under the Environmental Impact Assessment (Scotland) Regulations 1999 as the application is for a theme park, the area of which exceeds 0.5 ha. The application for the erection of a theme park ride, the Drop Tower, comprises a 30m lattice tower construction on a base measuring 13m x 15.5m approximately. Three sets of seats are located on the 4 sides of the tower which are raised to the top of the tower and then dropped downwards.

  • Dean Castle Development Project
    Dean Castle Development Project eastayrshireleisure.com A Brief History Dean Castle dates from at least the 14th Century. Built by the ambitious, influential and well-travelled Boyd family, the Lords of Kilmarnock, the buildings and estate continued to be lived in and developed until the mid-1700’s, when a large fire devastated the site. The Boyd family moved on shortly after and the site passed through the ownership of several important and influential people, until it was inherited by the 8th Lord Howard de Walden. From about 1905, De Walden set about re-building areas of the Castle that had fallen into disrepair. He used the Castle to display his collections of Arms and Armour, and early Musical Instruments. In 1974, the 9th Lord Howard De Walden gifted the Castle, estate and collections to the people of Kilmarnock under the stewardship of Kilmarnock and Loudoun District Council, now East Ayrshire Council. The venue has operated as a visitor attraction ever since, and is managed by East Ayrshire Leisure Trust. The Dean Castle site comprises a number of historic buildings set around a central courtyard. These are: The Keep Completed around 1350, the Keep is the oldest permanent structure on the site. It was the original home and stronghold of the Boyd family, Lords of Kilmarnock. As well as being a domestic residence, the work of the Lords was done here. It contains a Great Hall, private chambers, Minstrel’s Gallery, a dungeon, a guardhouse, and kitchens. The Palace (or Place) This building was finished around 1460 and was designed to accommodate the expanding role that the Boyd Family held in society and within political circles.

  • 48 Hours in DJH Stahleck Hostel
    nt adve urep ily ro m je fa c . t . w o r w g w The Family Adventure Project’s guide to Castle Hostels of Germany 48 hours around Burg Stahleck and the Middle Rhine Castle Hostels of Germany How would you like to spend a night in a castle? Or take a road trip combining castles, palaces and forts? There are more historic hilltop residences offering beds to travellers in Germany than you might imagine, thanks to the extensive network of Jugendherberge hostels. Castle Hostels Road Trip We had no idea when we set out on our road trip of German Castle Hostels how much choice we would have, how many faraway hills we would sleep on, and how magical the hostels would be – thanks in part to the number of Harry Potter conventions we ran into. Well, what better place than a castle? For the last century the German Youth Hostel Association has been refurbishing former grand or royal buildings specifically for families and groups. We set out to explore five of them to produce this series of guides which we hope will help you to do the same. We chose a range of different locations with ideally no more than three hours drive between them. We stayed for 48 hours in each and explored as much of the area as we could. In the pages that follow we describe the unique character of the hostel, profile what there is to do and give you the low down on why we think each one is worth a visit.

    Stratigos, M. J. and Noble, G. (2018) A new chronology for crannogs in north-east Scotland. Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, 147, pp. 147-173. (doi:10.9750/PSAS.147.1254) There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/165849/ Deposited on: 25 July 2018 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk This is the peer-reviewed, revised but unedited version of an article which will be published by the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. A new chronology for crannogs in north-east Scotland Michael J Stratigos and Gordon Noble ABSTRACT This article presents the results of a programme of investigation which aimed to construct a more detailed understanding of the character and chronology of crannog occupation in north- east Scotland, targeting a series of sites across the region. The emerging pattern revealed through targeted fieldwork in the region shows broad similarities to the existing corpus of data from crannogs in other parts of the country. Crannogs in north-east Scotland now show evidence for origins in the Iron Age. Further radiocarbon evidence has emerged from crannogs in the region revealing occupation during the 9th–10th centuries ad, a period for which there is little other settlement evidence in the area. Additionally, excavated contexts dated to the 11th–12th centuries and historic records suggest that the tradition of crannog dwelling continued into the later medieval period.
