Places to see in ( Fraserburgh - UK )

Fraserburgh is a town in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It lies at the far northeast corner of Aberdeenshire, about 40 miles (64 km) north of Aberdeen, and 17 miles (27 km) north of Peterhead. It is the biggest shellfish port in Europe, landing over 12,000 tonnes in 2008, and is also a major white fish port and busy commercial harbour.

The name of the town means, literally, 'burgh of Fraser', after the Fraser family that bought the lands of Philorth in 1504 and thereafter brought about major improvement due to investment over the next century. Fraserburgh became a burgh of barony in 1546. By 1570, the Fraser family had built a castle (Fraserburgh Castle) at Kinnaird's Head and within a year the area church was built. By the 1590s the area known as Faithlie was developing a small harbour.

In 1592, Faithlie was renamed Fraserburgh by a charter of the Crown under King James VI. Sir Alexander Fraser was given permission to improve and govern the town as Lord Saltoun. At present this title is still in existence and is held by Flora Fraser, 20th Lady Saltoun and head of Clan Fraser. The Royal Charter also gave permission to build a college and university in Fraserburgh allowing the Lord Saltoun to appoint a rector, a principal, a sub-principal, and all the professors for teaching the different sciences.

A grant from the Scottish Parliament in 1595 allowed the first college building to be erected by Alexander Fraser, and in 1597 the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland recommended the Rev. Charles Ferme, then minister at the Old Parish, to be its first (and only) principal.

In 1601, Fraserburgh became a burgh of regality. The college, however, closed only a decade or so after Ferme's arrest on the orders of James VI for taking part in the 1605 General Assembly, being used again only for a short time in 1647 when King's College, Aberdeen temporarily relocated owing to an outbreak of plague. A plaque commemorating its existence may be seen on the exterior wall of the remains of the Alexandra Hotel in College Bounds.

Fraserburgh thereafter remained relatively quiet until 1787 when Fraserburgh Castle was converted to Kinnaird Head Lighthouse, Scotland's first mainland lighthouse. In 1803, the original 1571 church building was replaced and enlarged to seat 1000 people. The Auld Kirk was to be the standing authority in the town up until the 1840s.

The town has several attractions including an award-winning sand beach, a major harbour, the lighthouse museum, heritage centre and a variety of amenities and facilities. It is home to the famous Kinnaird Head lighthouse/castle. Fraserburgh also has a variety of churches including; 3 Church of Scotland congregations (Old Parish, South Church and West Church), 4 Pentecostal churches (Elim Pentecostal, Assembly of God, Calvary Church and Emmanual Christian Fellowship), as well as Baptist, Roman Catholic, Episcopal, Congregational, Brethren and Bethesda Evangelical Church and the Salvation Army. Also the community war memorial by Alexander Carrick. The oldest church building in Fraserburgh is Fraserburgh Old Parish Church.

Water gardens was conceived in 1952 and built between 1960-1963 to the designs of Frederick Gibberd and Partners for the Harlow Development Corporation

The long and the short pools surrounds with york stone

Harlow is unusual among the New Towns in its relationship to the surrounding countryside

The town centre is also the highest point of the town, and for his Civic Square, Frederick Gibberd designed water gardens that would express both his interest in landscape

A number of sculptures were located here in 1963, and futher sculpture has been subsequently added to the gardens.

The gardens were among the first post-war landscapes to appear on English Heritage's Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.

National Botanic Gardens of Wales - Nos 1 Wonder of Wales

Learn why The National Botanical Garden of Wales was voted nos 1 Wonder of Wales and Wales' Best Children's garden - a must whilst staying in our Carmarthenshire Holiday Cottages. qualitycottages.co.uk/carmarthenshire/holiday-cottages-carmarthenshire

The National Botanical Gardens is not your average garden open to the public. There truly is something here for everyone. We defy those non-gardeners staying in our holiday cottages in Carmarthenshire not to enjoy a visit here, however gardeners will be impressed that is was voted No 1 garden to visit in Wales by BBC Gardeners World.

Polly, our roving reporter has the lucky job of traveling across Wales to film the places and people who make a holiday here so special. (Subscribe to our youtube channel 'QualityCottages' for the latest films). The enthusiasm she captures from our film narrators is infectious and David at The Botanical Gardens is no exception. Watch and we are sure you will add a visit into your holiday in Wales straight away.

The mission of the Gardens is to inspire, educate and conserve. With over 8000 different plant varieties, spread across 560 acres, divided into an incredible range of themed gardens, it truly meets its mission. We love the Apothecary Garden - like something from days gone by and find the Ghost Forest created by artist Angela Palmer inspiring - no wonder we at Quality Cottages have chosen to sponsor the guides at this amazing place.

Artist Angela Palmer was in West Africa and she came across the results of illegal logging in the rainforest. She was overcome by a vision of making ambassadors of these tree trunks. There is a quiet majesty about them

If you love the sights and smells of flowers, tick, you will be happy. If you are scientific minded, the DNA research here into plant evolution will fascinate you. If you like to attend events, there is a rolling programme at The Botanical gardens with something for everyone. (There is a great schedule for kids over the school holidays - pond dipping included!). And if you have always hankered after a veggie patch, the vegetable garden will provide you with lots of ideas.

The jewel in the crown of the gardens is the world's largest single spanned glasshouse, designed by Lord Foster, which claims to have the best display of mediterranean climate zone plants in the Northern hemisphere. (Wales' Eden Garden?)

The great glass house is like nothing you've never seen before says David.

An easy day trip for all those staying in our South Wales holiday cottages,Pembrokeshire holiday cottages or Brecon Beacons Holiday Cottages but a lucky treat for those staying just around the corner in our Carmarthenshire holiday Cottages.

Quality Cottages thank David and The Botanical Gardens of Wales for their time and greatly enjoy being sponsors.

CASTELL CAERNARFON CASTLE North Wales

Building started in 1283 and ended in 1330 before every building was complete, at a cost of between £20,000 and £25,000 as part of a massive building program under King Edward I of England to establish secure bases for the English in Wales.
The castle and town was captured in september 1294 by Madog ap Llywelyn's forces and was set alight, by November 1295 the English had begun refortifying the town walls.
The town and the castle was besieged in 1401 during the revolt led by Owain Glyndwr and again during 1403 and 1404 by a Welsh and French force the garrison at the time was around 30 men.
During the English Civil War it was garrisoned by Royalists and besieged three times and was surrendered to Parliamentarian forces in 1646.

Marine Lake Fun Fair, Rhyl

Marine Lake has always been a council-owned amenity. It opened in 1895 as a boating lake. A miniature railway line was added round the lake at an early stage; eventually a privately-owned fairground evolved and it was in full swing by the 1920s. Pictured in a canoe is Vivian 'Parney' Warner aka 'The Great Navajo' who was a fortune-teller. The indoor pony ride was named Fun On The Farm. Marine Lake Fun Fair continued until council forced the owners off the site at end of 1960s. The miniature railway continues to operate and is run by a Trust. Slideshow compiled by Colin Jones.
