replying to @HeidiSiefkas @HeidiSiefkas @LindaPeters64 A4: Northern Caucasus mountains have absolutely beautiful landscapes, but also very old churches and monasteries. Absolutely breathtaking! #TRLT Sadly I can't find a good photo. 😞

@BradtGuides @TheTravelCamel A4: Windsor Castle definitely worth a visit as is the church on the grounds of the castle. The history of Windsor Castle is as amazing as it is incredible.

replying to @travelhistory1 @travelhistory1 I was talking to my neighbour on the weekend, and we spent a a bit of time discussing the incredible Motown era. #TRLT
A4: According to Anna, our Head of Editorial, the best way to absorb the colourful history of North Yorkshire is with a visit to Whitby Abbey. At nearly 1,500 years old, its stunning gothic ruins are still a sight to behold. #TRLT

A4. Around the Highlands, islands and Argyll, there are countless ruins of houses and villages which were abandoned during the Clearances (either by force from landowners or economic necessity). This is what remains of the township Upper Gruilin on Eigg, cleared in 1853. #trlt
replying to @bunkinglife @bunkinglife @HeidiSiefkas Sounds like a delightful place, to bask in the glory of the past. #TRLT
replying to @HeidiSiefkas @HeidiSiefkas @LindaPeters64 A4 There are so many...I'm going to suggest Fountains Abbey which is one of the largest and best preserved ruined Cistercian monasteries in England. #TRLT
Visiting #Oxford with its medieval colleges like All Souls @LibAllSouls everyone should visit if only to admire the work of the gardeners #TRLT A4

#trlt A4: In Yorkshire is the town of Haworth. More famous for its "Wuthering Heights", it hosts a series of 'historical weekends'. / re-enactments. A couple of years ago I went to the WW2 weekend they had on.
[They also have a hippie/60s weekend theme but I never went to that!]
#TRLT Q4: If you ever come to North East of Scotland you have to check out Dunnottar Castle. This 15th century buildings sits on a rocky outcrop in the North Sea. https://t.co/XNa2VE4Ksj

replying to @HeidiSiefkas @HeidiSiefkas @LindaPeters64 A4) I'd recommend seeing the Panama Canal, its an engineering marvel that should be seen in person. But for me it was putting the stories my Dad told me about going through it while he was in the Navy into perspective for me. #TRLT
replying to @JCreatureTravel @JCreatureTravel @travelhistory1 Lovely framing in this photo. #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @RTWBarefoot A3: It’s not the oldest but it’s old. These are ruins of a Roman aqueduct in Pula, Croatia. #TRLT
replying to @HMatthews67 @HMatthews67 @DrNeilMatthews @featherytravels Never forget the cake. #TRLT
replying to @StuartMHurlbut @StuartMHurlbut @HeidiSiefkas @LindaPeters64 What a glorious location for an Abbey. #TRLT

replying to @ramblRramblR @ramblRramblR @TheTravelCamel I have visited Fort Ebi and loved the history and sense of place, Rachel. #TRLT
replying to @FE_photograph @FE_photograph @LibAllSouls I loved the architecture in Oxford too. #TRLT
replying to @BradtGuides @BradtGuides @wanderingrowe There were a couple of places I never made it to that the guide suggested would be fab (Broch of Birsay, Rousay), but I did some hiking in both Westray and Mainland that the guide suggested might be cool walks. #trlt

There appears to be a lot of talk about Yorkshire today.
Five years since I've been, and so long to go back.

A3. The rock carving at the summit of Schiehallion probably isn't that old, but across the area there's countless carved + etched stones left by the Picts + as a probable pre-literate culture, we really don't know that much about them #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @sl2016_sl @LindaPeters64 I enjoyed seeing the Tower of London from the Thames. #TRLT
replying to @BradtGuides @BradtGuides And you often find Goths hanging around it too. #TRLT
