Quarry Studios, Crathie, Ballater
description: To accommodate an increasing workforce, Moxon Architects are developing new build premises for their studio in the Scottish Highlands. The studio comprises two low-lying buildings that sit at either side of an existing topographic barrier covered in mature birch, rowan and aspen. the purpose of splitting the office premises into two components is to reflect the twin roles of an architecture practice: focussed design work and broad collaboration. The more privately positioned building houses the office premises for the practice - containing the practice, including a small kitchen and staff dining area. A lounge also functions as an additional informal meeting area to welcome guests and clients. The two buildings are connected by a covered walk that provides all weather circulation and a sheltered space to enjoy the wooded surroundings. https://moxonarchitects.com/

The mill is situated in the beautiful Garlogie Conservation Area. On the day, visitors will be able to see around the two buildings that remain and view the beam engine and turbine.

Arbroath: Sheriff Court
description: The Town House of Arbroath was originally used as a burgh chambers and dates from 1803. It was designed by the Architect David Logan of Montrose. The building was altered in 1844 to the design of David Smith of Dundee. In 1880 it acquired a commercial neighbour of similar stature, known as the GuildryBuilding. This structure, originally of two storeys to the front and a single storey to the rear was substantially altered during its life and went through a series of phases of commercial use being at one time a bank. Arbroath Sheriff Court House formerly occupied the premises on upper floors of 80 High Street. This Courthouse dated from the 1880s and in its day saw a High Court sitting. By 1973 it was in poor condition and too cramped for Court purposes and it was decided to move the Court to the Town House. The Town House was first used as a Sheriff Court in the early 1970s and was substantially refurbished in the late 1980s remaining the property of the Local Authority and leased by the Scottish Court Service. Between 2000 and 2001, Scottish Courts were able to purchase the GuildryBuilding and extend the Courthouse into the upper floors of the building. Scottish Court Service also managed to purchase the Town House bringing the whole complex into SCS ownership. The Town House building and the Guildry Building have been substantially refurbished to provide an additional court room, cells, lift, new public counter, new open plan offices and additional witness, shrieval and jury accommodation. During the excavation of the basement to create storage it was discovered that Arbroath Sheriff Court stood partially on the foundations of an older building and partially on the bed of a local burn. Emergency grouting (pumping of liquid concrete) was carried out to stabilise matters and the Town House is now on a firmer footing than ever before.

The water-powered mill produced oatmeal and animal feed, as well as providing work for local people, right up until 1982. Step inside the mill and discover how engineering ingenuity provided a means to save the ‘daily grind’ of producing your own flour and meal.

The building is category A listed.

Mortuary Chapel
description: The Mortuary Chapel was designed by Patrick Allan-Fraser as a memorial to his late wife Elizabeth and her deceased parents John Fraser and Elizabeth Parrot Fraser. Work began in 1875 based on an outline plan by Allan-Fraser to which he added details as building progressed. Everyone who visits quickly realises that this is a remarkable building, possibly the most unusual and most instantly appealing of the many fine buildings within Arbroath. However, it is also very important on a national scale. It could claim to be one of the best buildings of its date in Scotland. The building is also notable for its eclectic mix of styles, including reference to Scottish, English and possibly other precedents from East European Gothic. Every part of the building is important because every part received great care in design. Image (c) www.scran.ac.uk

Forfar Small Bore Rifle Club

The club was the first in Scotland to benefit from electronic targets and recently celebrated its 80th anniversary. A public meeting was held in Forfar in the Meffan Hall in the evening of Monday 24 October 1937 to propose the formation of a miniature rifle club in the town. The meeting chairman was the local Chief Constable D. C. Christie. The resolution was unanimously adopted and a committee was appointed to look into premises, finances etc.[Forfar Herald 28/10/37] By December that year, the club had been formed as the Forfar and District Small Bore Rifle Club and had raised the necessary finance through a loan of £350 from James Lindsay who was the Postmaster at Letham, Angus at a very reasonable interest rate of 4%. This interest was paid annually to Mr Lindsay (after deducting tax!) until September 1951 when £150 of the loan was paid off with the balance being paid off in November 1953. The club was also paying £2 10/- half annually in ground rent to a Mr. Bowen and in January 1955 the ground was purchased (very cheaply) for £100. Visit the club to see the facilities and a firearms demonstration. Suitable for children aged 12+, must be accompanied by an adult.

Huf Haus - FULLY BOOKED
description: Tours of this site are now fully booked A Huf Haus is a state-of-the-art, bespoke, timber-frame design which connects living with nature. The Huf Haus at Ascog, Isle of Bute, was completed in the early spring of 2011. The key objectives were to build a contemporary highly efficient house and to maximize the amount of glazing and at the same time be able to enjoy and connect with the outstanding natural surroundings. The house is orientated towards the spectacular views and opens up to the South to optimize passive solar heat gain. The design takes advantage of the slope, provides additional living space and helps to reduce the footprint of the house. Open floor plan living on the ground floor and maximizing the amount of glazing allows the house to open up to all surrounding views. The main building material is timber, which has been sustainably forested. The house is very well insulated; all glazing is triple glazed with excellent insulation values. Minimal energy from fossil fuels is required with heat and hot water provided through a ground source heat pump with electricity from 51 PV panels roof array. Off-site manufacturing reduced the build time to just three months. Guided tours by the owners Tony and Beryl Harrison will look at the architecture, construction and energy efficient features of the house.

Inveraray Bell Tower
description: The tower was built as a war memorial by the Tenth Duke of Argyll, Niall Diarmid Campbell to mark the huge loss of life in the great war and especially those members of Clan Campbell who came from the local towns and villages. The Duke conceived the idea of building a tower and installing a set of bells at the end of the War in 1918. The bells were actually cast first and delivered in 1921 before work on the tower began. Meanwhile the Duke commissioned architects Hoare and Wheeler of London to design the tower, the final decision being accepted in 1926. Eventually in 1930, the tower, at 39m(128ft) high, was finished and the bells weighing nearly 8 tonnes were installed by Christmas 1931.
