The Queen's Gallery was built in the shell of the former Holyrood Free Church and Duchess of Gordon’s School at the entrance to the Palace of Holyroodhouse. The buildings were constructed in the 1840s with funds from the Duchess of Gordon, but fell into disuse in the late 19th century. Benjamin Tindall Architects were appointed project architects for the new Queen’s Gallery in October 1999. Their central visual theme was a celebration of The Queen’s Golden Jubilee, expressed through a series of arches and screens that lead visitors from the Gallery entrance to the exhibition spaces beyond. Their design complements the original 19th-century architecture, elements of which were incorporated into the new spaces. Unsympathetic later internal alterations were removed, and a new exposed steel and concrete floor inserted to reflect the original ‘gallery’ of the Church. A new stone arched entrance was created at the centre of the Horse Wynd frontage, opposite the new Scottish Parliament building. The use of a stone archway, with a courtyard beyond, is a traditional entrance device in Scottish architecture. The main walling is of Catcastle stone, the dressed work and lettering is of Stainton stone and the base is of Kenmay granite. ‘THE QUEEN’S GALLERY’ lettering above the entrance is the work of John Neilson, a calligrapher and carver. The letters were cut from single pieces of stone. Above sits Scotland’s heraldic lion, designed by Jill Watson. The lion sedant is based on a small red lion that sits at the feet of Mary, Queen of Scots on her tomb in Westminster Abbey. (The Palace of Holyroodhouse was once home to Mary, Queen of Scots.) The monumental entrance doors of oak have gilded bronze hinges by Jill Watson. Continuing the heraldic theme, the main hinges are decorated with the Scottish lion and unicorn. The beasts are set against the adjacent urban scene of Edinburgh’s Royal Mile and the rural scene of Arthur’s Seat and Salisbury Crags. The upper hinges are made as golden boughs of flowering native trees – chestnut and laburnum, oak, rowan and hawthorn. The stone archway is decorated with a carved and gilded garland of Scottish flowers, including daisies and thistles, created by Graciela Ainsworth, an Edinburgh-based sculptor, carver and conservator. Over the old entrance to the former church is a stained-glass window by Christian Shaw. The design shows a perspective drawing of the interior of a gallery. At night, the shape of the archway is reflected by the glass lights by Keiko Mukaide set into the paving. The artist has given the tiles a water flow pattern, mirroring the stream of visitors walking in and out of the Gallery. Inside, the reception desk by Hamid van Koten is made from curved pieces of Scottish elm with kilned glass and patinated copper. The pendant lights were designed and made in Edinburgh by Ingrid Phillips. Dividing the reception from the main Gallery area is a patterned glass screen by Jacqueline Poncelet. The screen’s bronze handles by Jill Watson incorporate figures looking at art in a gallery. The dramatic central stair of native timber leads to the Gallery spaces above. The complex shape was designed by the architects with Charles Taylor Woodwork, who were responsible for the construction. Lights set into the first floor illuminate the curved balustrading.

El misterio envuelve este yacimiento Patrimonio de la Humanidad de 5.000 años. ¡Visite este monumento y decida si Stonehenge es un lugar que fue diseñado para el culto al Sol, como parte de un gigantesco calendario astronómico o algo completamente diferente! Una visita que inspirará a toda la familia, Stonehenge es un poderoso recordatorio de las impresionantes edades de Piedra y Bronce. Cada fase de Stonehenge era una estructura circular, alineadas con la salida del Sol durante el solsticio. Erigido entre el 3.000 y el 1.600 A.C., las piedras fueron transportadas cientos de quilómetros a través de tierra y mar, mientras se usaban astas y huesos para cavar los pozos que contienen las piedras. Las técnicas arqueológicas modernas, así como las excavaciones recientes, han ayudado a modelar las nuevas teorías acercas de estas losas, pero su propósito final continúa siendo un misterio fascinante. Llegadas a Stonehenge (información importante para Grupos) Ahora Stonehenge pide a los conductores de autobús y los liders o guías de los grupos que tengan preparado su número de reserva correcto al llegar a Stonehenge. Esto ayudará a los trabajadores a asegurar que haya la mínima cola posible. Durante las épocas con muchas visitas no se podrá ser flexible para la entrada de grupos que lleguen más tarde de la hora indicada. Aún así, se entiende que a veces pueden ocurrir los retrasos y se intentará acomodar los grupos lo mejor posible. Por favor tenga en cuenta que los grupos DEBEN BAJAR SIEMPRE en los sitios habilitados para ello y siempre cuando el autobús haya aparcado definitivamente. Si su autobús / autocar tiene la puerta para pasajeros en la parte derecha, vaya directamente al aparcamiento para autocares antes de que los visitantes bajen. Nota para Séniors y Estudiantes: Los trabajadores en Stonehenge pedirán una identificación válida a todos los visitantes que lleven una entrada para Sénior o Estudiante. Por favor lleve un documento de identificación válido en estos casos para que no haya problemas.
