High Court of Justiciary
description: Visit the most important court in Glasgow. See where notorious villains of bygone eras were tried. Visit courtrooms old and new and the cells where prisoners are housed. Take a guided tour or wander round at your leisure. Construction of the High Court of Justiciary in Glasgow commenced in 1807. It is an impressive building that has been subject to careful renovation using original materials. The neo-classical front of a a colonnade of fluted Doric columns with pediment gives an imposing, library-like feel which is increased by high ceilings, interiour frieze carvings, Ionic and square Doric and Corinthian Columns. The two courtrooms behind this use dark wood to increase the feel. Plaster images, marble and wood decorate the hallway between North and South Court. All courts display the heraldic coat of arms uniting the Queen's arms. The infamous Peter Manuel, a "serial killer" from the late 1950s, was prosecuted in North court; it is still used. The courtrooms have been revamped over the years. Despite the introduction of electronic equipment, the courtrooms retain a Victorian look and feel which the beast of Birkenshaw would recognise. The cell detaining him can be viewed on the tour conducted by G4S staff who will answer your questions. An underground passage linking the cells to gallows on Glasgow Green, used by Dr Pritchard the last man hanged in Glasgow, is now sealed. Since its original build, the building has expanded to house 9 courts. In the new wing courts feel like modern, high quality theatres and show a marked difference in concept and style. The brightly lit rooms have a spacious, airy feel.

Highland Hospice
description: When faced with life shortening illness, death and bereavement, the people of the Highlands deserve the best possible care and support. At Highland Hospice our ambition is to ensure they receive this. During the design phase for our new Inpatient Unit, an art plan for the Hospice was developed by local arts consultants and artists. The theme of the plan was to "make space for the natural environment". The plan led to the Hospice adopting art objectives including: - Enhance patient care and facilities by placing a premium on the visual aesthetic of all aspects of the Hospice building. - Offer patients a range of opportunities for consolation, comfort and stimulation through participation in or experiencing the arts.

description: Visit the newly restored 16th century stronghold of the Maxwell family. Hills or Hillis Tower is a 1527 tower house with a 1721 house attached complete with gatehouse and barmkin. Built by the Maxwells it passed to the McCulloch’s of Ardwall in 1733. The property preserves a unique architectural transition from late medieval to a 18th century country house. From 1782 the house and tower was used for farm storage but some restoration and repairs for tenants was carried out in 1930 and 1970 respectively leaving the fabric untouched since they were built. In 2003 the Gibbs family purchased the property and restoration has involved undoing the work of the 30’s and 70’s in the house and putting floors and windows back in the Tower. The aim in the ongoing restoration is to minimize the modern footprint and create a family home once again with the look and feel of the 1780’s.

Holy Trinity 1559
description: Holy Trinity 1559 Holy Trinity Church in St Andrews has played a major role in Scotland’s religious life since the Middle Ages. It was central to the events of the Scottish Reformation. Indeed, it was at Holy Trinity that the 16th century Protestant leader John Knox first preached in public. Yet even before this, Holy Trinity was a significant Catholic church. In the 1520s Archbishop James Beaton described it as the most important parish church in the country. Over the generations the buildings of Holy Trinity have undergone major changes. Indeed the church was almost completely rebuilt (barring the tower) at the start of the 20th century. This reconstruction of Holy Trinity as it may have appeared in 1559 was created by the Smart History team in St Andrews (led by Dr Alan Miller). It is based on research into historical images and written records (including property documents) undertaken by Dr Bess Rhodes, Peryn Westerhof Nyman, and Chelsea Reutcke. The digital reconstruction was created by Sarah Kennedy. A virtual reality version of the reconstruction can be experienced as part of the Divine and Human exhibition at Holy Trinity Church, South Street, St Andrews, Fife, KY16 9NL (which runs until 31 October 2019). The reconstruction was funded by St Andrews Community Trust.

description: A stunning building completed in 1996 from original designs by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Set in leafy Bellahouston Park, House for an Art Lover has been realised in materials, craftsmanship and dimensions as closely as possible to the original Mackintosh designs. In 1901 Charles Rennie Mackintosh, now Glasgow�s most famous architect, entered a German-based competition to design a �Grand Residence for an Art Lover�. The rules stated that �only genuinely original modern designs will be considered�. Mackintosh worked on the submission with his new wife, Margaret Macdonald. In the event, the Mackintosh entry was disqualified from the competition on the grounds of incomplete submission, but after three required interior perspectives were completed and submitted, the designs were awarded a purchase prize for �their pronounced personal quality, their novel and austere form and the uniform configuration of interior and exterior�.�Significantly, no first prize had been awarded. Creating the House, The Mackintosh competition entry, has been admired by academics and architects alike over the last century. But, it was in 1987 that Glasgow civil engineer Graham Roxburgh conceived and developed the idea of building the House for an Art Lover, from the competition drawings, on a site he had identified in Bellahouston Park. Graham had been responsible for the refurbishment of the nearby Craigie Hall which contains early Mackintosh interiors. His dream to build the House for an Art Lover became a reality in 1990 when the building exterior and much of the interior and craftwork were completed by his remarkable team of architects, designers, builders and craftsmen. However, recession in the early nineties forced the project to be temporarily halted. Interior work and landscaping were resumed in 1994, revived by collaboration between Glasgow City Council and the Glasgow School of Art. It is a fitting tribute that Mackintosh�s most impressive and respected building, the Glasgow School …

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.

Hugh Miller's Birthplace Cottage & Museum
description: Fossil Hunter, folklorist, stonemason, geologist, newspaper editor, social justice campaigner - Hugh Miller was one of the great Scots of the 19th Century. His quests and writings have left a huge legacy of knowledge but as the two adjacent properties testify, he came from ordinary beginnings. The thatched cottage where Hugh was born in 1802 was built by Hughs's pirate grandfather, while the handsome Georgian villa, now an interactive museum, was built by his father. Outside Miller's yard Garden of Wonders is a stunning place to explore the stones and fossils of Miller's natural world while next door the gardens of the Birthplace include a working cobble courtyard, a beautiful cottage garden and a Garden Room - Space for Reflection.

Hume Castle
description: Hume Castle dates from the 13C as a frontier defence. It was captured in 1574, 1549, 1569 and lastly demolished in 1651 by Cromwell's artillery under Colonel Fenwick, despite the Governor's defiant statement: "I, Willie Wastle, stand firm in my castle; and a' the dogs o' your toun will no' pull Willie Wastle down". Presumably, his military judgement was as bad as his poetic one! The Earl of Marchmont built the current structure in 1794 as a folly on the line of the earlier work. A major mediaeval settlement on the south facing slope around and below the castle can also be glimpsed, however, this requires careful effort and imagination. Hume Castle will be open all day. There is an interpretative board on site and it is hoped that a local guide will be available on the day.
