Dreghorn Barracks
Dreghorn Barracks are located in Edinburgh, Scotland. The barracks are situated at the southern edge of the city, south of Colinton, and adjacent to the Edinburgh City Bypass.
==History==
The present barracks complex was largely built in 1937–1939 to designs by William Alexander Ross.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=William Alexander Ross )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dreghorn Barracks: Listed Building Report )〕 The barracks were upgraded in 1989–1992, with the addition of several new buildings. The four original buildings are protected as a category C(s) listed building.〔
The barracks were built in the grounds of Dreghorn Castle, a 17th-century mansion built by Sir William Murray, Master of Work to the Crown of Scotland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dreghorn Barracks )〕 The castle was extended around 1805 by Archibald and James Elliot. The castle was acquired by the War Office in 1893, and was eventually demolished in 1955.〔
A monument outside the barracks on Redford Road commemorates the rebellious Covenanters who were defeated at the Battle of Rullion Green in 1666. The monument was erected in 1884 by R A Macfie of Dreghorn House, and incorporates columns taken from the 18th-century Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, designed by William Adam and demolished the previous year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Covenanters' Monument: Listed Building Report )〕
