  1. I am in Copenhagen, hometown of Expressional, and have been enjoying my time here! Biking is for real here! The #bike lanes are taken very seriously and cars actually stop and care about the bikes (unlike in NYC where you really need to yield to the drivers).
    @yorky has been showing me around the city- one day I will get one of those Bullitt bikes he has for myself- it's so useful for hauling things!

    #Copenhagen also has way more neon than Munich :)

  2. Abernethy Round Tower, which stands close to the centre of Abernethy, south-east of Perth. It is is 74ft/22.5m high and was probably built in around 1100. It is one of only two circular freestanding towers surviving in Scotland. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/abe

  3. A fairly well-preserved sheela-na-gig on the medieval church in Killinaboy (Irish: Cill Iníne Baoith "Church of the daughter of Baoth")

    On the gable wall there's a Lorraine cross – an unusual feature in Ireland – and behind the ruin is the stump of a round tower

  8. The Irish Round Tower at Kinneigh is West Cork’s only surviving example of such a structure and is unique in that it is the only one with a hexagonal base. The large Celtic Cross headstone in the foreground was erected by the famous collector of Irish music, Chief Francis O’Neill, to the memory of his O’Mahony grandparents.
