Crarae Garden
description: Near the banks of Loch Fyne, on the west coast, immerse yourself in Britain's finest example of an exotic Himalayan-style woodland garden. Crarae Garden is a tranquil site, with its dramatic gorge, rippling burn, waterfalls and cliffs. The informal hillside layout of mature woody plants radiating out from the burn creates a wonderful natural effect. It is a magical spot at any time of year, with the earlier flowers of countless rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias and magnolias being replaced later in the season by the rich tints of foliage and fruit.

Crathie Kirk
description: <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--> Crathie Kirk was designed in a cruciform plan in the Scots Gothic style with a distinctive steeply pitched gabled nave and square, corbelled, parapetted crossing tower with splay footed spire. Crathie church is a well designed compact church which is distinguished by having had connections with the Royal Family since its conception. The finely decorated interior is unusual compared to other Church of Scotland churches and shows similarities to more decorative Anglican Churches. This is likely to have been as a result of the Royal connections with this church. The use of plain clay tiles is very unusual in an area where grey slate is much more common. The foundation stone was laid in 1893 by Queen Victoria. <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-GB</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:EnableOpenTypeKerning/> <w:DontFlipMirrorIndents/> <w:OverrideTableStyleHps/> </w:Compatibility> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" D…

Crocket's Land
description: Originally very much part of the Medieval street plan of the West Bow, the house burnt down in the early 18th century and was replaced with an interesting Dutch gabled building with its own internal timber stairs. The house retains its internal panelling on all floors. Built around 1705 by Thomas Crockett of Johnstounburn. Before the 1827 Improvement Act, West Bow was a steep Z-shaped street which climbed from the Grassmarket to Upper Bow at the foot of Castlehill. Most of the old buildings in West Bow were swept away to make room for the northern side of Victoria Street, built to link the Grassmarket with the new George IV Bridge. Before their demolition, Thomas Hamilton, the architect for the scheme, made careful elevational drawings of the buildings showing that the first five houses at the lower end of the street on the west remain. �

Cromarty Courthouse Museum
description: This A Listed building was completed in 1773 by George Ross, owner of the Cromarty Estate, using Government funds from lands forfeited after the unsucessful 1745 Jacobite Rising. The old Mercat Cross was moved to the front of the building just after it opened. The building was used for sittings of the Sheriff Court and other official purposes. A high perimeter wall and cell block was added in 1847. The dome of the cupola was re-roofed by public subscription in the 1950s. The Town Council and Burgh Magistrates continued to use the building until the 1960s. It was rescued from decay and restored in 1991 and is now run by a locally based Trust as a museum and visitor centre. The museum tells the story of Cromarty and the courtroom scene has lifelike figures with an audio enactment of a historic trial. Artefacts held in the museum date from the late Bronze Age (a newly acquired "Tress Ring") through to items donated by local people.

Cromarty East Church
description: More than 700 years ago, a parish church was built nestled next to a burn and close to the Royal Burgh of Cromarty. Now known as the East Church, the church has stood firm on the same foundations ever since, a witness to changing religious practice, ups and downs in the fortunes of the townspeople, and new building and design styles. The church today reflects many of these changes, and is both a spiritually inspiring and historically fascinating building. The church has been described as 'the epitome of a post Reformation Church' and ranks among the eight finest examples of its type in Scotland. It is nationally significant in terms of both built and ecclesiastical heritage. An exhibition on "Changing faith and fashion, and their influence on East Church architecture" can be seen in the vestry. Artefacts from Cromarty East Church (which were found during the excavation of the interior when the church underwent conservation work) are on display in Cromarty Courthouse Museum (also open for DOD 2018) Tours of the church and burial ground at 11am and 2pm www.eastchurchcromarty.co.uk 01381 600243 cromartyeastchurch@gmail.com

description: The last remaining Cruck Cottage in Dumfries and Galloway. Fashioned from local materials with traditional skills, this cottage, like its many lost companions, was simply constructed on three massive oak cruck frames, fastened together with oak pegs.

It was restored by Solway Heritage in 1990 using the same traditional skills and local materials. The thatch was again renewed in 2004. The Cottage is Category A listed by Historic Scotland, and now of a great rarity in Scotland.

Cumbernauld History Exhibition and Guided Walk
description: An exhibition about the social and architectural history of Cumbernauld will take place at Cumbernauld Community Enterprise Centre. Cumbernauld residents can also bring their photos of the town for Scotland’s Urban Past to scan for Historic Environment Scotland’s official record. We’re also asking Cumbernauld residents to bring their own photos of the town along to the exhibition to share. The Scotland’s Urban Past team will be there on the 24th to scan these photos in to Historic Environment Scotland’s official record of the built environment . The exhibition itself will look at Cumbernauld from it’s inception, as the result of mass overcrowding in Glasgow, and the vision of Cumbernauld as a New Town and a site of opportunity for residents and businesses alike. Using photographs, advertising material, letters and plans from the 1950s through to the 1990s, visitors can explore the ways in which the town was envisioned and run by the Cumbernauld Development Corporation, as well as shaped and experienced by those who made the move there. The exhibition will pay special attention to the work of Brian Miller, Cumbernauld’s town artist from 1962, and the public art which he created, much of which has now disappeared.
