The UK National Centre For Fung Loy Kok Taoist Tai Chi
69 Marionville Road was purchased in 2011 to serve as the UK Centre for Taoist Tai Chi™. The building was in a state of neglect and had suffered from vandalism both inside and out. The large internal space is ideal for the practise of Taoist arts, and the site offered the opportunity to contribute to and engage with the local community by improving its condition and offering the health benefits of Taoist Tai Chi™ arts to all who wish to receive them. Fung Loy Kok Taoist Tai Chi™ belongs to a tradition many thousands of years old, the UK Centre also has a history, albeit a little less ancient. It appears that the site was undeveloped until around 1908 when railway sidings were located in the area currently occupied by the rear car park. In the early 1930s the first building was constructed on the site. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult www.taoist.org.uk
The present building was completed in 1796, and extensively altered in 1906.

The oldest theatre in Scotland, the Theatre Royal is in the heart of Dumfries and first opened its doors in 1792. It has strong associations with the renowned Scottish poet Robert Burns, who wrote several pieces specifically for its stage. The Theatre saw multiple changes of ownership during the first half the of 20th Century, before being bought by the Guild of Players in 1959. The Guild managed to secure support from new sources and instead of planning on building new facilities upwards, they looked towards expanding outwards. Adjacent buildings were purchased, and renovation work began in 2014, completed by the end of 2015. The newly refurbished building includes several new spaces while maintaining many of the historic features, ushering Scotland’s oldest theatre into the 21st Century. Attend one of the touring productions presented throughout the year, which includes live music, stand-up comedy and theatrical dramas. The Guild of Players presents a regular season of four shows, as well as a family-friendly Christmas pantomime.

This elaborate and unusual church was designed by William Stirling to replace its predecessor, built in 1773 on a site a little to the east. Much of the stone from the earlier structure was probably used to build the new church. Built in neo-Perpendicular style, the church features buttresses to the sides of each bay which end in impressively tall, pointed finials. Stirling’s original design may have included a spire or tower, but it was never built. The octagonal bellcote over the north entrance houses a bell cast in Rotterdam in 1670 by Cornelius Ouderogge; this was removed from the medieval church which stood further north on Kirk Hill, refitted in its 18th century successor, then moved again to its present location. A horseshoe-shaped gallery was replaced in 1920 by a single gallery. The fine, three-light stained glass window of 1924 by Douglas Strachan was installed in memory of the Rev Joseph Conn. The kirkyard contains several interesting and elaborate gravestones, many of which were restored as part of the Historic Kirkyards Trail project of the Ochils Landscape Partnership programme. They shed light on the inhabitants of Tillicoultry as it developed into an industrial town, with many textile mills.

<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--> The following site is worth a visit as you travel along Deeside, it is a Scheduled Ancient Monuments. The site is managed by Historic Scotland, access is free but the site is unmanned. Stone circles are common throughout the British Isles, but the type of circle represented at Tomnaverie is found only in north-east Scotland. There are around 100 of them. Their characteristic feature is a large stone set on its side (recumbent), flanked by two upright stones, usually on the south or south-west arc of the circle. The tallest stones of the circle are also usually on the same arc.

With some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in Scotland, Torridon is a magnet for walkers, geologists and naturalists. The estate includes some of Scotland's finest mountain scenery, comprising Liathach, 1,054m (3,456ft) which has seven tops and Beinn Alligin, 985m (3,230ft), composed mainly of Torridonian sandstone dating back 750 million years. Routes to the high tops, and others along the coast, are detailed at the Countryside Centre. You’ll also find information about the wildlife on the estate, part of which is in the Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve.
In 1815 General Keith Macalister began the construction of Torrisdale Castle. He employed the services of James Gillespie Graham, one of Scotland?s most famous architects. In 1872 the castle was rented by local businessman Peter Hall, brother of James Macalister Hall of Killean and Tangy who gifted the Burnett Building to Campbeltown. Both brothers were business associates of Sir William Mackinnon of Balinakill, and helped found the British India Steam Navigation Company, which was eventually subsumed into the larger P&O. William Macalister Hall, Peter?s son, purchased the estate and extended the castle in 1903 and 1908 respectively, utilising the services of architect Henry Clifford. The estate remains in the ownership of the Macalister Hall family. ?
The church itself has a number of features, including the altar table, modelled exactly on that in the church they had previously occupied in Victoria Road.
Torwood or Tappoch Broch is probably the best preserved of all the Lowland brochs with walls over 10ft high. It stands at the high point overlooking the Roman road to Stirling and with panoramic views across the Forth Valley. Due to its strategic location on the road this historic wood also saw William Wallace hiding in an oak tree, the Royalist army holding a defensive line against Oliver Cromwell and Donald Cargill excommunicating Charles II. The broch was excavated in 1868 by Colonel Dundas and the interior left exposed.
A BUS TOUR with David Carson. Saturday the 10th September at 10:30am and 2:30pm. Meet at the Clydebank Town Hall. Duration 1.5 hrs. Booking required. Phone the Clydebank Library at : 0141 562 2440 This tour highlights the Blitz, but also takes in some of the history of the shipyards and even sewing machines. Clydebank has been transformed into a very different place, but it had been a very important shipbuilding centre. And that attracted the German bombers during WWII. The Luftwaffe carried out air raids on the shipyards and town in March 1941. The town was largely destroyed and it suffered the worst destruction and civilian loss of life in all of Scotland. 528 people died, 617 people were seriously injured, and hundreds more were injured by blast debris. Out of approximately 12,000 houses, only seven remained undamaged with 4,000 completely destroyed and 4,500 severely damaged. Over 35,000 people were made homeless. Clydebank's production of ships and munitions made it a target. A total of 439 bomber dropped over 1,000 bombs. RAF fighters managed to shoot down two aircraft during the raid, but none were brought down by anti-aircraft fire. Today Clydebank is again a thriving town albeit very different. But there are still signs of the Blitz - if you know where to look. More about the Blitz can be found online here: http://www.west-dunbarton.gov.uk/leisure-parks-events/museums-and-galleries/collections/war-and-military/blitz/
