Dougie MacLean – Auld Lang Syne
I've been to many countries that never gave me feeling of home what so ever. Being in Scotland and hearing the music that paints a picture of it's brilliance has always felt right.
As if a fish escaping it's bowl, nature calls us home one way or another.
These Isles and all therein belongs to us. Between one's love for London, England and the Isles in which we derive, it's clear that my home is by no means a static spot, but the entirety of the Anglo-Celtic Isles.

The climate of #Britain, #Ireland, and #Europe mightn't appeal to everyone. The unexplainable, magnetic connection we have for our true home is why #WeAreWhoWeAre 💚

Had a look around the newly-built Georgian era Drover’s Tavern at Beamish Museum.
Droving, that is moving livestock across long distances, has existed for thousands of years in Britain. The builders of Stonehenge in SW England feasted on animals brought down from as far as NE Scotland.
For many years, the main industrial centres and big cities in Britain had their meat brought in by drovers. Drover’s roads are still found all across the country today. Some are tarmac-covered and used by cars, but others look the same as they were in the 18th century.
The arrival of the steam train brought this way of life to an end around the middle of the 19th century.

The Laboursome Stairs of #Edinburgh 🏴
(1080p Edition for Telegram)
🎙 @VinnieSullivan
The capital of #Scotland isn't just a stunning city but a historic gem of monumental importance. The harships of Edinburgh were worsened by its noticeably difficult terrain. To this day, #Pubs still have to haul kegs up Edinburgh's old stairs by hand. This is the story of Edinburghs' unique design and the effects it still has until today.

The beloved 'Air Balloon' pub in the village of #Birdlip, #Cotwold, that served for nearly two and a half centuries was demolished to allow for the construction of the multi-million pound upgrade of the A417. What began as two ale houses for our working ancectors died as burden to modernisms plans. No ugly new road or rotten skyscraper is worth a single brick from our beautiful pubs. #RIP
