This is his bridge at Craigellachie in Moray. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/usbiography/t/thomastelford.html

Earlier this week I found two recent articles about cool old and likely not well known things in #Scotland which I’ve already been to.

The historic #CraigellachieBridge: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-66925023

And the 89-year-old #SkyeFerry crossing: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1wqp5gy5pjo

I could not feel prouder for explored enough of Scotland to have seen this already 😊
