Слайд 4

Ricoh Arena (commonly known as the Ricoh ) is a stadium complex situated in the Rowleys Green district of the city of Coventry, England, containing a 32,609 seater football stadium, a 6,000m 2 exhibition hall, a hotel, a leisure club and a casino. The stadium is named after its sponsor, Japanese company Ricoh, which paid £10 million for the naming rights over 10 years. For the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, where stadium naming sponsorship was forbidden, the stadium was known as the City of Coventry Stadium. The South Downs is a range of chalk hills that extends for about 260 square miles across the south-eastern coastal counties of England from the Itchen Valley of Hampshire in the west to Beachy Head, near Eastbourne, East Sussex, in the east. It is bounded on its northern side by a steep escarpment, from whose crest there are extensive views northwards across the Weald.

Attractions in Scotland : Brough Lodge Broch (Scotland) Glen Coe Marchmont house Mull-of- Kintyre Market Cross Fingal’s cave The Hub (Edinburgh)

Слайд 8

Brough Lodge is a 19th-century Gothic mansion on Fetlar , one of the Shetland Islands in northern Scotland. Built by the Nicolson family, who were responsible for clearing Fetlar of many of its inhabitants, it has been disused since the 1980s. The Brough Lodge Trust has recently started work to restore the building. The house is protected as a category A listed building, and the grounds are included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland, the national listing of significant gardens.

A B roch is an Iron Age drystone hollow-walled structure of a type found only in Scotland. Brochs include some of the most sophisticated examples of drystone architecture ever created, and belong to the classification "complex Atlantic Roundhouse" devised by Scottish archaeologists in the 1980s. Their origin is a matter of some controversy. The theory that they were defensive military structures (an Iron Age equivalent to the castles and tower houses of medieval Scotland) is not accepted by many modern archaeologists (see the 'general references' below), while the alternative notion that they were farmhouses is dismissed by some others. Although most stand alone in the landscape, some examples exist of brochs surrounded by clusters of smaller dwellings.

Marchmont House lies on the east side of the small town of Greenlaw , and near the former village of Polwarth in Berwickshire . Situated in a gently undulating landscape, the estate is intersected by Blackadder Water, and its tributary burns.

Glen Coe is a famous valley ("glen") in the Scottish Highlands and also the name of the village adjacent to the glen on the western side. It is owned by the National Trust for Scotland and is considered one of the most spectacular and beautiful places in Scotland.

The Mull of Kintyre is the southwesternmost tip of the Kintyre Peninsula (formerly Cantyre ) in southwest Scotland. From here, the Antrim coast is visible and a historic lighthouse, the second commissioned in Scotland, guides shipping in the intervening North Channel. The area has been immortalised in popular culture by the 1977 hit song "Mull of Kintyre " by Kintyre resident Paul McCartney's band of the time, Wings. A M arket cross can be found in most market towns in Britain, with those in Scotland known as mercat crosses. British emigrants often installed such crosses in their new cities and several can be found in Canada and Australia.

Слайд 12

Fingal's Cave is a sea cave on the uninhabited island of Staffa, in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland, part of a National Nature Reserve owned by the National Trust for Scotland. It became known as Fingal's Cave after the eponymous hero of an epic poem by 18th-century Scots poet-historian James Macpherson. The Hub , at the top of Edinburgh's Royal Mile, is the home of the Edinburgh International Festival, and a central source of information on all the Edinburgh Festivals. The building design was the result of a collaboration between Edinburgh architect J Gillespie Graham and the famous gothic revivalist Augustus Pugin . It was constructed between 1842 and 1845.
