AS SEEN ON SKYEYE BRITAIN - LAUNCHING IN EARLY 2013! - skyeye-app.com

Dalmeny House
Dalmeny House is a Gothic revival mansion located in an estate close to Dalmeny on the Firth of Forth, to the north-west of Edinburgh, Scotland. It was designed by William Wilkins, and completed in 1817. Dalmeny House is the home of the Earl and Countess of Rosebery. The house was the first in Scotland to be built in the Tudor Revival style. It provided more comfortable accommodation than the former ancestral residence, Barnbougle Castle, which still stands close by. Dalmeny today remains a private house, although it is open to the public during the summer months. The house is protected as a category A listed building, while the grounds are included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.

Old Photographs Dalmeny Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of photographs of Dalmeny village located on the south side of the Firth of Forth, 1 mile south east of South Queensferry and 8 miles west of Edinburgh. The church was built around 1130, possibly by Gospatric, Earl of Dunbar, and is recognised as the finest Norman and Romanesque parish church still in use in Scotland, and one of the most complete in the United Kingdom. Besides the parish church, the most significant building is Dalmeny House a Gothic revival mansion. The first railway station here was on the South Queensferry branch of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway which opened on 1 March 1866. John Chesser was born on 18 September 1819 on the Dalmeny House estate, his elderly father, William Chesser being Clerk of Works there. After spending some years working on the Revesby House estate in Lincolnshire, England, he returned to Dalmeny to fill his father’s shoes on his death. Through his experience, in 1858, he then gained a post as Superintendent of Works at George Heriot’s School following the death of Alexander Black. This role included developing the huge swathes of land around the city owned by the Heriot Trust, particularly in the West End of Edinburgh, and also building ten Heriot Trust Schools around the city for the less privileged children to attend. He lived most of his later life at 1 Chalmers Street in southern Edinburgh. He died in Corstorphine, Edinburgh on 2 February 1892 and is buried in Cramond Kirkyard. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.

Hopetoun House, South Queensferry, Scotland
Hopetoun House is the traditional residence of the Earl of Hopetoun (later the Marquess of Linlithgow). Located near South Queensferry to the west of Edinburgh, Scotland, it was built 1699-1701 and designed by William Bruce. The House was then hugely extended from 1721 by William Adam until his death in 1748 being one of his most notable projects. The interior was completed by his sons John Adam and Robert Adam. The magnificent entrance hall dates from 1752.
The parklands in which it lies were laid out in 1725, also by William Adam. The east front centres on the distant isle of Inchgarvie and North Berwick Law. The walled garden dates from the late 18th century. In the grounds an 18th century mound was excavated in 1963 to reveal the remains of the earlier manor house, Abercorn Castle, dating from the 15th century.
The Hope family acquired the land in the 17th century. Charles Hope, the first occupant, was only 16 years old when his mother, Lady Margaret Hope, signed the contract for building with William Bruce, on 28 September 1698.[1] The master mason is noted as Tobias Bachope of Alloa. The plumber and glazier was John Forster of Berwick.

Places to see in ( South Queensferry - UK )
Queensferry, also called South Queensferry or simply The Ferry, is a town to the west of Edinburgh, Scotland, traditionally a royal burgh of West Lothian. It lies some ten miles to the north-west of Edinburgh city centre, on the shore of the Firth of Forth between the Forth Bridge and the Forth Road Bridge. The prefix South serves to distinguish it from North Queensferry, on the opposite shore of the Forth. Both towns derive their name from the ferry service established by Queen Margaret in the 11th century, which continued to operate at the town until 1964, when the Road Bridge was opened.
A local fair dates from the 12th century. The modern fair, dating from the 1930s, takes place each August and includes the crowning of a local school-girl as the Ferry Fair Queen, a procession of floats, pipe bands, and competitive events such as the Boundary Race. The Fair also has a dedicated radio station, Jubilee1, which in May 2007 was awarded a licence to evolve into a full Public Service Community Station for North and South Queensferry.
Queensferry hosts the strange annual procession of the Burry Man during the Ferry Fair. This unique cultural event is over three hundred years old, and likely pagan in origin. The name 'Burry Man' almost certainly refers to the hooked fruits of the burdock plant - burrs - in which he is covered, although some have suggested that it is a corruption of 'Burgh Man', since the town is traditionally a royal burgh.
St Mary's Episcopal Church, also known as the Priory Church is the town's oldest building, built for the Carmelite Order of friars in the 1450s. It is the only medieval Carmelite church still in use in the British Isles, and is a category A listed building. After the Scottish Reformation of 1560 it served as the parish church until 1635. In 1890 it was reconsecrated for the Scottish Episcopal Church.
Black Castle is a house on the High Street built in 1626. When the original owner, a sea-captain, was lost at sea, his maid was accused of paying a beggar-woman to cast a spell. Both women were burned for witchcraft. Plewlands House is a 17th-century mansion in the centre of the village. It was restored in the 1950s as flats, and is now managed by the National Trust for Scotland. The Tolbooth, on the High Street, dates from the 17th century, with a clock-tower built in 1720.
The Hawes Inn, dating from the 17th century, lies east of Queensferry, almost under the Forth Bridge on its south side. It features in Robert Louis Stevenson's novel Kidnapped. Opposite the Hawes Inn is the pier which served the ferry (from which the town derives its name) until the opening of the Forth Road Bridge. The pier is now used by tourist boats including the ferry to Inchcolm.
South Queensferry Cemetery on Ferrymuir Lane at the south end of the town is unremarkable other than for the very large number of Royal Navy war graves, many for casualties of the Battle of Jutland (1916) who were brought here for burial. It is maintained and operated by the City of Edinburgh Council. It superseded the small graveyard on The Vennel in the centre of town.
Queensferry is served by Stagecoach's 40/40A/40B services which runs from Edinburgh Bus Station via Barnton and Dalmeny and Lothian Buses service 63 which also runs from Riccarton Campus via Sighthill, Gyle, Newbridge and Kirkliston. There is a service 22A from Tesco to Livingston operated by First Scotland East, an early morning service 21B connecting Ferrymuir (Tesco) to Harthill, and an X51 from Dunfermline to Livingston via Kirkliston and Queensferry. Ferry services run from the harbour to the islands within the Firth of Forth, including Inchcolm.

The Forth Bridges at Sunset, South Queensferry, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK
On our return journey from Pitlochry, we stopped in South Queensferry at sunset to view one of the most beautiful bridges in the world, the Forth Railway Bridge.
Built over 100 years ago, this bridge is an absolute marvel of engineering achievement and remains an icon of Scotland.
Without the Forth Bridges, road and rail commuters going between Edinburgh and Fife would either have to take a ferry or do a 40 mile detour.

Finding Nelson Monument SD
Chelsea, Courtney, and Mike show you how to get to Nelson's Monument in Edinburgh, Scotland.
An HD version will be up soon in which the captions will be easier to read.
Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson lead the British Royal Navy to victory against Spanish and French fleets at the Battle of Trafalgar. He died during the battle.
The inscription at the monument reads:
To the memory of Vice-Admiral Horatio Lord Viscount Nelson, and of the great victory of Trafalgar, too dearly purchased with his blood, the grateful citizens of Edinburgh have erected this monument: not to express their unavailing sorrow for his death; nor yet to celebrate this matchless glories of his life; but, by his noble example, to teach their sons to emulate what they admire, and, like him, when duty requires it, to die for their country.
