  • Governor's House is a building situated on the southernmost spur of Calton Hill, beside the south-east corner of Old Calton Burial Ground, in Edinburgh, Scotland. It looks out over Waverley Station, the Canongate and Holyrood Park to the south. The building of 1815–17 is all that remains of Calton Jail, once the largest prison in Scotland, completed in 1817. It was designed by Archibald Elliot (1761-1823) who was also responsible for the nearby Waterloo Place and Regent Arch. The House contained the Committee Room used by the Commissioners who governed the prison. Its castellated and turreted form is similar to James Craig's Old Observatory House on Calton Hill, but its design was more likely influenced by Robert Adam's older 'Bridewell' of 1791, which stood alongside the newer prison. The jail closed in 1927 and, except for the Governor's House, was demolished in 1937 to make way for St Andrew's House. Until recently, the building housed the Scottish Government's multimedia team and, for a time, was considered as a possible official residence for Scotland's First Minister, replacing the National Trust for Scotland-owned Bute House. Governor's House is where the Scottish Fiscal Commission is based. (en)

  • 卡尔顿山官邸(Governor's House)是位于苏格兰爱丁堡卡尔顿山最南端的一个城堡状建筑物,在旧卡尔顿墓地东南角的附近。其南侧是愛丁堡威瓦利站、修士门(Canongate)和荷里路德公園。 该建筑建于1815-17年,是卡尔顿监狱的遗迹,曾经是苏格兰最大的监狱,在1817年完成。它是由Archibald埃利奥特(1761-1823)设计,他还负责设计附近的滑铁卢坊和摄政桥。 该建筑类似于詹姆斯·克雷格在卡尔顿山的老观测所,但它的设计可能更受罗伯特·亚当的新监狱旁的老'Bridewell'(1791年)。监狱在1927年关闭,除了官邸,其余部分均在1937年因修建圣安德鲁大厦而拆除。许多人仍认为该建筑被从前囚犯的鬼魂所困扰,一些人拒绝进入这座哥特式建筑。 直到最近,苏格兰政府的多媒体团队设于此处,在一段时间又被认为可能是苏格兰首席部长的官邸,取代苏格兰国民信托所有的布特大樓。 目前官邸是苏格兰财政委员会的总部大楼。 (zh)
