Day 352 of 365 Photo Challenge. White Cart Bridge is a Scherzer rolling lift bascule bridge situated on the A8 road in Renfrew, Scotland. The bridge crosses White Cart Water at the confluence with the Black Cart River. It is the only remaining lift bridge in the country and became category A listed on 13 December 1994. The bridge is still capable of opening, as the Doosan Babcock factory in Renfrew require the capability to move large loads by river. The White and Black Cart rivers have been an important crossing site for many years. Initially people forded the rivers and latterly a ferry was used to make the crossing. A bridge was built in 1759. It was a seven-arch bridge, crossing both rivers, and was washed away in 1809. Two separate bridges which are still in use today were built in 1812 as a replacement for the crossing. The new bridges could not accommodate large ships sailing into Paisley. A new section of river bypassing the low bridge was completed by 1838, requiring a new bridge to cross the White Cart. Initially a swing bridge was used to make the crossing. It was replaced by the lift bridge in 1923. The name swing bridge has remained locally even though the bridge lifts, rather than swings. The bridge was designed by Scottish civil engineer Sir William Arrol. His company William Arrol & Co built some of the most famous bridges in the United Kingdom including the Forth Bridge and Tower Bridge. They were responsible for the construction of the bridge at Renfrew. In August 2004, a £1m restoration project in connection with Historic Scotland took place. This involved renewing all the mechanical components and resurfacing the road. The bridge was also painted red and cream and had new lights installed. #365photochallenge #photooftheday #whitecartbridge #renfrew #inchinnan #liftbridge #bridge #engineering #bascule #scotland #whitecart #arrolandco #williamarrol #rivercrossing#historicscotland #redandcream #redandcreambridge #nightphoto #road #a8 #roadbridge #pedestrianbridge (at White Cart Bridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6O0BLOhvD6/?igshid=pymzau49gd3r

Auchquhorthies Recumbent Stone Circle, Portlethen, Aberdeenshire, 23.2.19.

I'm pretty sure the recumbent stone has been badly damaged at this site recently. It needs further inspection. #historicscotland

Once the family seat of Clan Sinclair and home to the Earls of Caithness, Castle Sinclair Girnigoe dates back to the 15th century. ▫️ In 1577, George Sinclair, the 4th Earl of Caithness, imprisoned his own son John, Master of Caithness, in Castle Girnigoe, on suspicion of rebelling against his rule. He was held there for seven years, after which his father fed him a diet of salted beef, with nothing to drink, so that he eventually died insane from thirst. ▫️ The imposing ruins of this spectacular castle is located in the Far North of Scotland; near the town of Wick. ▫️ Image by @glebovaanastasia ————————————————— #scottish #passionpassport #drone #lovescotland #scotland #historicscotland #coast #scottishhighlands #visitscotland #love_scotland #travelinggram #restoration #thisisscotland #travelphotography #scotspirit #brilliantbritain #ig_worldclub #igersscotland #goexplore #scotlandsbeauty #visituk #castle #discoverglobe #discoverearth #roamtheplanet #earthfocus #nc500 #gameofthrones #castlesofscotland #gameofthronesfan https://www.instagram.com/p/B2umclih2OR/?igshid=12adk7qlmrqb7

Watching Outlnader is weird because I make fun of it sometimes, but next thing I know I'm ranting about how the British ruined the highland culture.

I will do a longer post with this later but as I’ve been horrifically neglecting this account I thought I might post some things as and when I see them even without a post with more information! I’m currently on the Isle of Arran in Scotland and one of the places I’ve passed is Torrylin cairn, which was used for burial 5000 years ago #history #scotland #visitscotland #scotspirit #ancienthistory #historicscotland #culture #histogram #exploremore #exploretocreate #historyfacts #historylovers #historyinpictures #historyfans (at Kilmory, Arran) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnJ9WaPlrtM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w6z3cy45okz2
