Standing tall over Falkirk, The Kelpies aren’t just pretty faces – they’re 30 metres of steel tribute to Scotland’s heavy horse heritage.”
These majestic beasts honour the Clydesdales that powered our canals, pulled ploughs, and built a nation – muscle, myth, and memory all in one.
Named after the shape-shifting water spirits of Scottish folklore, they remind us: even legends can be made of steel.

Back where it all began—Calder, Blantyre. 🌿 Spent countless days and nights up here as a kid with my pals. 🧒🏼🌳 Climbing trees, muckin’ about at the old bridge where a tree used to hang right over the water—we thought we were fearless back then. 💦🌉

The waterfall still roars the same 🌊, even though the bridge that once led to Greenhall is long gone, taken away by the farmer. 🚜 Feels like a whole era went with it. ⏳

Still, some of my best memories live here. 🥹✨ Proper hidden gem, full of stories. 📖 Anyone else remember the gypsies that used to stay nearby? ⛺️

“Cold War relic spotted in the wild…”

Tucked away in the English wilderness, this beast is the ZSU-23-4 “Shilka” — a Soviet self-propelled anti-aircraft system, armed with four 23mm autocannons and a radar dome known as the “Gun Dish.” Built in the 1960s for tracking and taking down low-flying aircraft, the Shilka was feared for its rapid-fire power and eerie, rotating radar.

Designed for Cold War battlefields but now standing quietly among the trees, it’s a reminder of just how far military tech (and global tensions) have come.

Fun fact: The Shilka could fire up to 3,400 rounds per minute — basically a sky shredder.

Our first explore in England and what a belter it was! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
We trekked across MOD land (don’t worry, we behaved… mostly) to check out some old planes, a tank, and a few army vehicles hiding away in the wild. 🪖🚛✈️
Signs everywhere basically shouting “DO NOT ENTER” 🚫 so of course, we had to have a wee nosey!

Totally worth the walk and the muddy shoes, There is a path you can take… but it’s not exactly rolling out the welcome mat! 🤣

More rust, ruins, and relics coming soon… 🫶🏻
