Medieval Banquet - The Banquet

Depart Edinburgh 08:00 and travel past Linlithgow palace and Stirling Castle. To the north is the National Wallace Monument, which commemorates Scotland's great hero William Wallace.   You pass close to the location where William Wallace defeated the English army in 1297, and after this take a short stop for coffee at Callander.        The scenery changes dramatically as you venture further into the Highlands. The flat plains of the lowlands transform into shimmering lochs, rugged mountains and forest-filled glens. The alluring beauty makes it easy to forget this was once a battleground of the fiercely territorial Highland clans.      You then head down to Scotland's most famous valley, Glencoe, where you’ll be mesmerised by the beautiful cliff faces and steep slopes.        After Glencoe, you enter a deep glacial valley, known as the Great Glen. Passing through the town of Fort William you travel in the shadow of Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis, before arriving at Fort Augustus on the shore of Loch Ness.        At 23 miles long and over 700ft deep, Loch Ness is the largest loch by volume in Scotland. The loch is best known for the legendary Loch Ness Monster ("Nessie") and you can take the opportunity to go in search of the monster on a fantastic boat cruise. Or you can simply enjoy the beautiful scenery on the banks. Fort Augustus boasts the Caledonian Canal, which is a great spot to relax and watch the boats sail by. You stop here for nearly 1hour 30min to give you time for lunch and time to take in the scenery around Scotland's most famous loch.        From Loch Ness, you head south through the mountains of the Cairngorms National Park. Your route travels alongside Loch Laggan (the setting for the BBC series 'Monarch of the Glen'), over the Drumochter Pass and past 13th century Blair Castle.        You continue south through the forests of Perthshire and make a short refreshment stop on the way. South of Perth you drive past Loch Leven. Then it’s over the famous Forth Bridge before returning to Edinburgh.

„Never forget“ (Niemals vergessen) war der tiefempfundene Refrain nach den World Trade Center Anschlägen am 11. September 2001. Und nun, 13 Jahre später, hat das National September 11 Memorial Museum eröffnet, um derer zu gedenken die ihr Leben verloren haben- und abermals sicherzustellen, daß die Welt „niemals vergessen“ wird. Die Stärke des Museums liegt, in erster Linie, in seinem Standort: Die über 10.000 m² Ausstellungsfläche liegt im "archäologischen Herzen des World Trade Center Standorts“. Das Museum führt den Besucher wortwörtlich in den Untergrund. Es liegt etwa 21 Meter unter der Erde, so daß der Museumseintritt den Abstieg vom Außenlicht in schwach beleuchtete Tiefen bedeutet, was zur umfassenden Kraft und Pathos dieses heiligen Ortes beiträgt. Eine Vielzahl faszinierender Exponate offenbart den Aufbau von New York’s beeindruckendem Urgestein, wie der 450-Millionen-Jahre-alte Brocken Manhattan Schiefer, ausgegraben im August 2008. Die architektonische Größe des WTC’s wird auch demonstriert durch ein großes Modell, ursprünglich 1969 bis 1971 gebaut, welches eines der größten und detailliertesten, heute noch erhaltenen WTC Vorzeigemodelle ist. Es ist ein kraftvoller Beitrag, weil es hervorhebt was das World Trade Center war, als das was aus ihm wurde. Und was aus dem WTC wurde, ist im ganzen Museum dargestellt, inklusive der „Treppe der Überlebenden“, die das zuletzt sichtbare Relikt der Gebäude nach den Anschlägen war. Die Treppe diente für viele als gefährlicher Überlebensweg zur Flucht, und 2008 zog die über 50-000-kg schwere Treppe ins Museum, wo sie heute hervorragt. Besucher können auch eine massiv gedrehtes Stück "impact Stahl" sehen- ein Teil der Nordturmfassade, die einen direkten Einschlag des American Airlines Fluges 11 erfuhr. Eine Seite des Museums umfaßt die schlammige Mauer, eine Ufermauer die gebaut wurde, um den Hudson River davor zu bewahren den Platz zu fluten. Aber obwohl das Museum mit massiven Teilen gefüllt ist, die die Wunden der Tragödie tragen, sind es die kleinen persönlichen Objekte, die vielleicht die eindringlichsten sind: beschmutzte Lupen, ein Paar Absätze, eine zertrampelte Brieftasche, ausgebreitet mit Münzen und Kreditkarten, ein Flügelpin eines Flugbegleiters am Revers. Wie der New York Times Kunstkritiker Holland Carter schön zusammenfasste: “Durchdrungen von verlorenem Leben, machen sie die Erfahrung, sich zugleich theatralisch, voyeuristisch und andächtig durch dieses Museum zu bewegen.” Vor allem ist das Museum eine Ehrung der Opfer, der Überlebenden - und Ihrer Angehörigen. Zahlreiche Exponate zeigen Fotos, Audio, Videos und Aufnahmen, Zeugnisse im Zusammenhang mit dem 11. September 2001 und auch der WTC Bombardierung am 26. Februar 1993. Auf vielerlei Weise behandelt das Museum genauso den Untergang  des WTC’s, als auchNew York’s Widerstandsfähigkeit. Das wird besonders oberhalb des sonnendurchfluteten Mahnmals offenbar, wo schimmernde Geländer, eingraviert mit den 2,983 Opfernamen, die beiden Mahnmal Becken umgeben, in den Fußstapfen der Twin Towers. Hier nahm Schönheit den Platz der Tragödie ein. Wussten Sie schon? Präsident Barack Obama war während der Einweihungszeremonie des Museums im Mai 2014 vor Ort, zusammen mit Überlebenden des 11. September, Rettern und Angehörigen. Herr Obama wurde auf einer Tour durch das Museum begleitet vom ehemaligen Präsidenten Bill Clinton und der ehemalige Staatssekretärin Hillary Rodham Clinton. Das World Trade Center (WTC) war viel mehr als nur einige Gebäude. Der Komplex bestand aus sieben Bauten von über 64.000 qm und umfasste Büros, das Restaurant „Fenster der Welt“ und eine unterirdische Einkaufspassage. Etwa 50,000 Menschen arbeiteten im WTC Komplex und ca. 40,000 passierten es täglich. Die Zahlen hinter dem 9/11 Memorial Museum sind beeindruckend: Das Museum hat mehr als 10,000 Artefakte, 23,000 Bilder und 500 Stunden Film- und Videomaterial. Im Auditorium, Museum Pavilion L-2 Level können sich Museumsbesucher täglich kostenfrei Filme rund um die Geschehnisse des 9/11 anschauen.
