Successfully Preserving Architectural Heritage
Bannerman Island, located in the Hudson Highlands of New York, is home to the stunning remains of a Scottish-style fortress. The island's story began far before it was named after the Scottish-American businessman, Francis Bannerman VI, who purchased the entire island in 1900. Yet he left the most indelible mark on the premises, and so this exploration of the history of the mysterious ruins must begin with him. Mr Bannerman immigrated to New York from Scotland at the age of five, and he followed in his father’s footsteps to become a successful munitions dealer. He purchased the island and built the castle to store his massive collection of military equipment. He founded Bannerman's Co. in 1865 and, by all accounts, did very well. In fact, the arsenal he amassed was so immense it could have quite literally blown the island of Manhattan out of the water!

The city of Chernihiv was surrounded in the first days of the war, and it was liberated only in early April. The surrounding villages were even less fortunate — russian troops entered there on February 24. The village of Yahidne, located south of Chernihiv and 150 kilometres from Kyiv, was occupied in early March. About 400 local residents were taken prisoner, they sat for a month in the dark, cramped basement of a small local school. The occupiers looted homes, took away clothes, linen, and household appliances. Sometimes residents were allowed to leave the basement and cook some food on the fire. During the occupation, the Russians shot, according to various sources, 20 civilians. Journalist Ilya Kabachynskyi came to Yahidne to see the conditions in which the locals lived, talked to them about what was happening, and went down to the same basement where 11 people died.
