Incredibly saddened to hear about the fatal derailment of the iconic Glória Funicular in #Lisbon. I've been on it several times and walk up and down that steep street (17% gradient) daily every June. Such a tragic loss of lives, my thoughts are with all affected 💔🇵🇹 #Lisboa

I just found this beautiful Albanian song I first heard when I was travelling on a minibus around #Albania in 2023, it brings back so many memories, the lovely humorous locals, horse riding in the mountains, walking along cobbles streets... #Shqipëria #folkmusic #interrail youtu.be/ykr0_72zQYs?...

📣 Magnificent 11 Heritage & Environment Walk 🌿🏦 📆 Sat 23rd Aug 10am-2.30pm ~ book here 👉 www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/magnificen... Explore the Southside's manicured & wilder fringes on our guided trail... history, heritage & nature galore with panoramic views of #Glasgow en route 🌳🪿🌺 👣 ⛅

A photo of the Ha'penny Bridge, Linn Park, on the southern fringes of Glasgow, built circa 1835. A cast-iron arched structure over the River Cart, with four identical ribs, each apparently a one-piece casting, and simple wrought-iron railings. It is the oldest surviving complete iron bridge in the greater city of Glasgow area.
