Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RECE3N - Musselburgh Racecourse is a horse racing venue located in the Millhill area of Musselburgh, East Lothian, Scotland, UK, close to the River Esk. It is the second biggest racecourse in Scotland (the first being Ayr) and is the fourteenth biggest in the UK. In 2016, Musselburgh staged 28 fixtures. It was officially known as Edinburgh Racecourse, and referred to as such in the English press, until the beginning of 1996 but was widely referred to as Musselburgh in Scotland long before that[5] and was widely referred to as Musselburgh in the racing pages of Scottish newspapers.
The course offers both flat racing and National Hunt meetings (though it only introduced jumping in 1987) and is 2 km long. In the middle of the course is a nine-hole golf course, Musselburgh Links, dating from at least 1672. The Royal Musselburgh Golf Club was founded there in 1774.
The racecourse itself sits on Musselburgh common good land. It is situated on the eastern side of the town, less than a mile from the A1 and two miles from the Edinburgh City Bypass. A road bridge over the Esk gives access to the course on race days only
the rest of the time, the gates are kept closed.
History
The first races in Musselburgh took place in 1777 under the auspices of the Royal Caledonian Hunt. Between 1789 and 1816, race meetings were held on the sands at Leith, although some races did still take place in the town. In 1816, they returned permanently to Musselburgh, to a course that had been laid out for them by the town council. The Hunt were so pleased with the new course that they distributed 50 guineas amongst the town's poor

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RPCFMP - The White Horse
If you visit the top of Guildford town, you might notice a gallant looking knight riding a white horse, charging off the façade of 253 Upper High Street. The unit, part of which is The Harbour Hotel's The Long Bar, used to house a pub, likely dating back to the late 1700s called The White Horse.
Pubs named The White Horse' were tribute to the House of Hanover, the Royal family of the time period. Guildford's White Horse was a pub until 1964, when it was refurbished and transformed into the Guildford Hotel. In recent years the site underwent a massive redevelopment as part of the Harbour Hotel complex. Despite numerous changes over the years the unusual feature has remained.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R6AHTX - Queen Victoria by Thomas Thornycroft (1814-1885)
Dated 1869, unveiled in 1870
Bronze on a granite pedestal
St George's Plateau, Liverpool
This striking sculpture of the young Queen Victoria riding side-saddle was commissioned to match the one of Prince Albert already completed by Thornycroft and unveiled in 1866. The Queen's hat is generously plumed, and, appropriately for this position outside St George's Hall, she bears the St. George's riband as a sash across her breast. The fine detail of the statue is most easily seen from below in the embroidered crown and scrolling, as well as the fringe, of the ceremonial saddle-blanket. In a description from the Art Journal, the horse is seen as full of impatient action, which tells on the sway of the figure
an effect difficult to express well in sculpture (qtd. in Cavanagh 95). The Queen holds what looks like a small sceptre, but is actually the handle of a riding crop, the rest of which has been lost. The drape of her voluminous skirt can be seen in the right-hand profile.
According to Bob Speel, this was the piece that made [Thomas Thornycroft's] name. Compare it with his equestrian statuette of the Queen from 1853.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PYKTCD - The Hungarian Parliament Building (Hungarian: Országház, which translates to House of the Country or House of the Nation), also known as the Parliament of Budapest after its location, is the seat of the National Assembly of Hungary, a notable landmark of Hungary, and a popular tourist destination in Budapest. It is situated on Kossuth Square in the Pest side of the city, on the eastern bank of the Danube. It was designed by Hungarian architect Imre Steindl in neo-Gothic style and opened in 1902. It has been the largest building in Hungary since its completion
Budapest was united from three cities in 1873, namely Buda, Óbuda, and Pest. Seven years later the Diet resolved to establish a new, representative parliament building, expressing the sovereignty of the nation. The building was planned to face the Danube River. An international competition was held, and Imre Steindl emerged as the victor
the plans of two other competitors were later also realized in the form of the Ethnographic Museum and the Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture, both facing the Parliament Building. Construction from the winning plan was started in 1885, and the building was inaugurated on the presumed 1,000th anniversary of the country in 1896. The keys to the building being handed over in 1902, however, It was not fully completed until 1904. The architect of the building first went blind and then later, died before its completion
Since World War II the legislature became unicameral, and today the government uses only a small portion of the building. During the People's Republic of Hungary a red star perched on the top of the dome, but it was removed in 1990 after the fall of communism. Mátyás Szűrös declared the Hungarian Republic from the balcony facing Kossuth Lajos Square on 23 October 1989

Plans for permanent traveller sites in Cheltenham - but will they help stop illegal camps?
The problem is wherever the council puts the sites, the travellers don't want to stop on them
Concerns are mounting that plans for traveller sites will not be enough to stop illegal camps in Cheltenham.
Travellers have pitched up without permission on several patches of land in the spa town over recent weeks.
Cheltenham Borough Council leader, Councillor Steve Jordan, believes this annoying issue will be tackled by the Joint Core Strategy (JCS).
The document includes plans for three traveller and gypsy sites in Cheltenham, two in Gloucester and 78 in the borough of Tewkesbury by 2031.
Recent problems
There have been camps this month in the car parks at the Leisure At Cheltenham centre, Cheltenham Racecourse and North Place.
And travellers moved 15 vehicles onto the borough council-owned Elmfield Park on Monday.
They ignored an eviction order served on Tuesday, but Cheltenham Magistrates' Court today made a new order that they leave.
Plans for more sites
The three sites planned for Cheltenham, all permanent, will be in Castle Dream Stud, in Mill Lane, Charlton Kings, where one traveller family has lived since 2011.
They have permission to stay there until 2022, but this is set to be made permanent.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M07AA8 - Horse Guards Parade is a large parade ground off Whitehall in central London. It is the site of the annual ceremonies of Trooping the Colour, which commemorates the monarch's official birthday, and the Beating Retreat.
Horse Guards Parade was formerly the site of the Palace of Whitehall's tiltyard, where tournaments (including jousting) were held in the time of Henry VIII. It was also the scene of annual celebrations of the birthday of Queen Elizabeth I. The area has been used for a variety of reviews, parades and other ceremonies since the 17th century.
The adjacent Horse Guards building was once the Headquarters of the British Army. The Duke of Wellington was based in Horse Guards when he was Commander-in-Chief of the British Army. The current General Officer Commanding London District still occupies the same office and uses the same desk. Wellington also had living quarters within the building, which today are used as offices
The parade ground is open on the west side, where it faces Horse Guards Road and St James's Park. It is enclosed to the north by the Admiralty Citadel and the Admiralty Extension building, to the east by Admiralty House, William Kent's Horse Guards (formerly the headquarters of the British Army) and the rear of Dover House (home of the Scotland Office), and to the south by Kent's Treasury building (now used by the Cabinet Office), garden walls of 10 Downing Street (the official residence and office of the British Prime Minister) and Mountbatten Green before the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's west wing. Access to the south side is restricted for national security.
On the east side, Horse Guards Parade is normally accessible to the public from Whitehall through the arches of Horse Guards
A number of military monuments and trophies ring the outside of the parade ground, including:
To the west, beside St James's Park, the Guards Memorial, designed by the sculptor Gilbert Ledward in 192326

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFK5D5 - The Kelpies are 30-metre-high horse-head sculptures depicting kelpies (shape-shifting water spirits), standing next to a new extension to the Forth and Clyde Canal, and near River Carron, in The Helix, a new parkland project built to connect 16 communities in the Falkirk Council Area, Scotland. The sculptures were designed by sculptor Andy Scott and were completed in October 2013. The sculptures form a gateway at the eastern entrance to the Forth and Clyde canal, and the new canal extension built as part of The Helix land transformation project. The Kelpies are a monument to horse-powered heritage across Scotland.
The sculptures were opened to the public in October 2013 . As part of the project, they will have their own visitor centre, and sit beside a newly developed canal turning pool and extension. This canal extension reconnects the Forth and Clyde Canal with the River Forth, and improves navigation between the East and West of Scotland.
The name was chosen by Scottish Canals at the inception of The Helix project, in 2005. The Kelpies name reflected the mythological transforming beasts possessing the strength and endurance of 10 horses
a quality that is analogous with the transformational change and endurance of Scotland's inland waterways. The Kelpies represent the lineage of the heavy horse of Scottish industry and economy, pulling the wagons, ploughs, barges and coalships that shaped the geographical layout of the Falkirk area.
According to sculptor Andy Scott, The original concept of mythical water horses was a valid starting point for the artistic development of the structures. He also said that he took that concept and moved with it towards a more equine and contemporary response, shifting from any mythological references towards a socio-historical monument intended to celebrate the horse's role in industry and agriculture as well as the obvious association with the canals as tow horses.

The name was chosen by Scottish Canals at the inception of The Helix project, in 2005. The Kelpies name reflected the mythological transforming beasts possessing the strength and endurance of 10 horses
a quality that is analogous with the transformational change and endurance of Scotland's inland waterways. The Kelpies represent the lineage of the heavy horse of Scottish industry and economy, pulling the wagons, ploughs, barges and coalships that shaped the geographical layout of the Falkirk area.
According to sculptor Andy Scott, The original concept of mythical water horses was a valid starting point for the artistic development of the structures. He also said that he took that concept and moved with it towards a more equine and contemporary response, shifting from any mythological references towards a socio-historical monument intended to celebrate the horse's role in industry and agriculture as well as the obvious association with the canals as tow horses.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HGC7XD - The equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington in Glasgow city centre is shown with the famous orange traffic cone balanced on the rider's head, a mischievous local tradition that has become one of the best-known visual symbols of the city. The bronze monument stands outside the Gallery of Modern Art, commonly known as GoMA, in Royal Exchange Square, close to Buchanan Street, George Square and the busy retail and cultural heart of Glasgow. The sculpture depicts Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, on horseback and was created by Italian-born sculptor Carlo Marochetti, with the statue erected in 1844. Although intended as a formal Victorian memorial connected with Wellington's military reputation and the end of the Napoleonic Wars, its modern fame is now inseparable from the traffic cone, widely seen as an expression of Glaswegian humour, irreverence and civic character. The image shows the contrast clearly: a grand equestrian monument, neoclassical columns, museum frontage and heritage architecture, undercut by an everyday road cone turned into unofficial public art. The scene is valuable for editorial use about Glasgow tourism, Scottish culture, urban identity, public sculpture, listed monuments, heritage conservation, city branding, street humour, visitor attractions and the way communities reinterpret formal civic monuments. The traffic cone tradition is often dated to at least the 1980s and has survived repeated removal, becoming a near-permanent and much-loved feature for residents, students, tourists and photographers. The picture also works for stories about public art, alternative heritage, local protest, playful vandalism, council debates about conservation costs, travel features on unusual British landmarks and wider discussion of how statues gain new meanings over time. The overcast light, blue sky breaks, red-windowed buildings and GoMA exhibition banner add a strong urban context, placing the quirky monument firmly in the everyday streetscape of c

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GMABYD - A sculpture of King Robert the Bruce, that measures over 18ft high, has been unveiled outside Marischal College, Broad Street, Aberdeen, Monday 09 May.
Gathered at the statue were, Lord Bruce, Lord Provost Peter Stephen, Alan Beattie Herriot (Statue Artist and Sculptor) , Councillor Kevin Stewart and seven year old Master Benedict Bruce. Lord Bruce and Master Benedict Bruce direct descendants of King Robert accompanied by the Lord Provost of Aberdeen Peter Stephen witnessed the ceremonial unveiling of the plinth by Depute Leader of Aberdeen City Council Councillor Kevin Stewart.
The statue created by sculptor Alan Beattie Herriot was commissioned following a motion by Councillor Kevin Stewart.
This sculpture is the culmination of years of hard work by Mr Herriot, and the result is a truly iconic piece which will be cherished by generations of Aberdonians and admired by thousands-upon-thousands of visitors to our city.
Sculptor Alan Beattie Herriot added: Seeing the sculpture in place is amazing. I hope that the people of Aberdeen like what has been done. I rather think King Robert would be very proud.
The total height of the statue including the plinth is 18ft 4in [5.6m].
The £120,000 statue was funded by the Common Good Fund which was originally set up by King Robert.

The arms were granted on April 21, 1732.
Edinburgh, the Capital of Scotland, has been a Royal Burgh since the reign of King David I, dating from between 1124 and 1127.
The arms resemble, but are not identical to, the device on the earliest known seals of the City of which fourteenth- and fifteenth-century impressions are on record.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DED35F - The sporran (/ˈspɒrən/
Scottish Gaelic for purse), a traditional part of male Scottish Highland dress, is a pouch that performs the same function as pockets on the pocketless kilt. Made of leather or fur, the ornamentation of the sporran is chosen to complement the formality of dress worn with it. The sporran is worn on a leather strap or chain, conventionally positioned in front of the groin of the wearer.
Since the traditional kilt does not have pockets, the sporran serves as a wallet and container for any other necessary personal items. It is essentially a survival of the common European medieval belt-pouch, superseded elsewhere as clothing came to have pockets, but continuing in the Scottish Highlands because of the lack of these accessories in traditional dress. The sporran hangs below the belt buckle
and much effort is made to match their style and design. The kilt belt buckle can be very ornate, and contain similar motifs to the sporran cantle and the Sgian Dubh. Early sporrans would have been worn suspended from the belt on one or other of the hips, rather than hung from a separate strap in front of the wearer.
When driving a car, dancing, playing drums, or engaging in any activity where a heavy pouch might encumber the wearer, the sporran can be turned around the waist to let it hang on the hip in a more casual position

Since the traditional kilt does not have pockets, the sporran serves as a wallet and container for any other necessary personal items. It is essentially a survival of the common European medieval belt-pouch, superseded elsewhere as clothing came to have pockets, but continuing in the Scottish Highlands because of the lack of these accessories in traditional dress. The sporran hangs below the belt buckle
and much effort is made to match their style and design. The kilt belt buckle can be very ornate, and contain similar motifs to the sporran cantle and the Sgian Dubh. Early sporrans would have been worn suspended from the belt on one or other of the hips, rather than hung from a separate strap in front of the wearer.
When driving a car, dancing, playing drums, or engaging in any activity where a heavy pouch might encumber the wearer, the sporran can be turned around the waist to let it hang on the hip in a more casual position

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 8124430083 - 'Its about this time of year that The Daily mail and others run articles about the dangers of conkers and other things, usually on slack news days.
'Traditional school games such as conkers and leapfrog are dying out because over-protective teachers have irrational fears about health and safety, a survey suggests.
Researchers found that conkers have been banned from nearly one sixth of playgrounds for fear that they could cause injury or trigger a nut allergy, even though they are not nuts.
British bulldog contests have been banned from more than a quarter of playgrounds and even innocuous games such as leapfrog and marbles are going the same way.
Of 653 heads, teachers and support staff questioned, 29 per cent said British bulldog has been banned in their school, 14 per cent said pupils are forbidden from playing conkers and 9 per cent said leapfrog had been banned.
Some 5 per cent said children were prevented from playing marbles and the same percentage said chasing games, such as tag, had been stopped.
The trend has been blamed on the rise in bureaucracy and red tape in schools and an increase in the number of parents who sue. Education experts have accused \u2018over-zealous\u2019 teachers of ruining childhoods.
Tim Gill, former director of the Children\u2019s Play Council at the National Children\u2019s Bureau, said schools have \u2018forgotten how to give children a good childhood\u2019.
He added: \u2018Bumps and scrapes and dealing with life\u2019s trials are part and parcel of growing into a confident and resilient person.
\u2018You can only learn through experience.\u2019 '
This is one of the oldest chestnuts (geddit?) around, a truly classic myth. A well-meaning head teacher decided children should wear safety goggles to play conkers. Subsequently some schools appear to have banned conkers on 'health &
safety' grounds or made children wear goggles, or even padded gloves!
Realistically the risk from playing conkers is incredibly low and just not worth bothering about. If kids deliberately hit each other over the head with conkers, that's a discipline issue, not health and safety.

The Lowry named after the early 20th-Century painter, L.S. Lowry, known for this paintings of industrial scenes in North-West England, particularly Manchester, Salford and Lancashire in general.
The architecture was esigned by Michael Wilford and Buro Happold and it was built in modern expressionist style at a cost in 1999 of around \u00a3120million. It was opened in 2000. The aerofoil canopy at the entrance is clad with perforated steel and as shown here is illuminated from the inside at night
People forget that Salford is a twin city with Manchester (once part of Salfordshire - i kid you not!). Highlights include the Lowry (pictured), Strangeways (prison and title of the Smiths last album, 'Strangeways here we come') and Salfords lads club. Salford is also birthplace of John Cooper Clarke, punk poet.
