Elcho Castle (original) (raw)
Elcho Castle (/ˈɛl.xoʊ/) is located close to the south bank of the River Tay approximately four miles south-east of Perth, Scotland, in the region of Perth and Kinross. It was maintained by Clan Wemyss from its construction around 1560 until it was put into the care of the Secretary of State for Scotland in the early 20th century, though was not occupied for the entire time. In around 1830 it was re-roofed and a nearby cottage constructed. The castle has been a scheduled monument since 1920 on the grounds of being "a particularly fine example of a Medieval tower-house", and the cottage became a listed building in 1971 in recognition of its national importance. The castle is unusual in that it has both en suite guest accommodation like a mansion, but also a large number of gun loops.

| dbo:abstract | El castell d'Elcho està situat gairebé a la riba sud del riu Tay, aproximadament a 6 km (4 milles) de Perth. És una casa torre de planta en Z envoltada per una muralla amb torres a les cantonades. El castell actual es va construir a la fi del segle XVI sobre una altra construcció més antiga i és un dels millors exemples d'edificis de la seva època i estil d'Escòcia. El clan Wemyss encara és amo del castell, tot i que no ha estat habitat en els últims 200 anys. Malgrat això es troba en molt bon estat de conservació (encara que alguns sostres han cedit) i pot ser visitat en la seva major part. Del seu manteniment s'encarrega , que cobra una entrada per poder visitar-lo. Prop del castell s'ha replantat un hort de fruiters amb diverses varietats de pereres, pomeres i pruneres, i també es pot visitar un colomar del segle xvi. (ca) Elcho Castle ist eine Burgruine über dem Südufer des Tay, etwa 6,5 km südöstlich von Perth in der schottischen Verwaltungseinheit Perth and Kinross. Sie besteht aus einem Wohnturm mit Z-förmigem Grundriss und Fragmenten einer umgebenden Mauer mit Ecktürmen. Die Burg wurde um 1560 anstelle eines älteren Gebäudes errichtet und ist heute eine der besterhaltenen Burgen ihrer Zeit in Schottland. Ein großer Teil der Burgruine ist zugänglich, auch wenn die Decken in einigen Räumen zusammengebrochen sind. Man kann durch den größten Teil des Gebäudes gehen, und der Wehrgang auf der Burgmauer ist an zwei Punkten zugänglich. Das Anwesen gehört immer noch der Familie des Erbauers, der Familie Wemyss; der Erbe des Titels Earl of Wemyss führt den Höflichkeitstitel Lord Elcho. Die Burg ist seit 200 Jahren nicht mehr bewohnt. Dennoch wurde sie in gutem Zustand erhalten, eines der frühesten Beispiele in Schottland für die Erhaltung eines Gebäudes ausschließlich aus historischen Gründen. Elcho Castle wird von Historic Scotland verwaltet und ist den ganzen Sommer lang öffentlich zugänglich. Es wird kein Eintrittsgeld erhoben. Die Burgruine gilt als Scheduled Monument. Ein Obsthain mit Apfel- und Birnbäumen neben der Burgruine wurde in den letzten Jahren neu angepflanzt, und das bienenstockförmige Taubenhaus (Doo'cot) aus dem 16. Jahrhundert liegt ganz in der Nähe. Historic Scotland hat es als historisches Bauwerk der Kategorie A gelistet. Das Küsterhaus der Burg gilt als historisches Bauwerk der Kategorie B.
