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.

In the woods near Munich stands a statue of our god Wotan carved in 1874 by Heinrich Natter. It is missing an arm and rather eroded but is still an historical and, for Heathens, holy monument.

Communists have now vandalised the monument in an act of blatant religious hatred and direct provocation.

Just passing through, don't mind me.

Observe and admire this breathtaking, historic fireplace in one of the old Abby towers at #DunfermlineAbbey and Palace at St Margaret’s Street, #Dunfermline, #Fife, #Scotland. Though it's difficult to date accurately, one can only imagine the conversations heard by this fireplace.
