The Tay Railway Bridge is a 19th Century bridge and is one of the most iconic sights in the city of Dundee. The bridge replaced the old bridge, which collapsed in 1879, known as the Tay Bridge Disaster.

Torre di Londra

900 anni di storia sono racchiusi tra le spesse mura merlate della Torre di Londra. Originariamente costruita come roccaforte da Guglielmo il Conquistatore nel 1066, la Torre di Londra è stata ampliata nel corso degli anni da vari monarchi. La sua caratteristica più distintiva è anche la più antica, la Torre Bianca che risale al 1078, tempo in cui Guglielmo il Conquistatore la fece costruire come simbolo della supremazia normanna. Sebbene sia stata usata come residenza reale, armeria e zecca, la Torre di Londra è meglio conosciuta per la sua funzione di prigione e luogo di numerose esecuzioni, in particolare quelle di Anna Boleyn e Catherine Howard. Elisabetta I, Sir Walter Raleigh e il principe Edoardo V sono alcuni degli altri personaggi famosi che furono imprigionati qui. Queste mura storiche racchiudono storie di tradimento, complotti e spionaggio ed innumerevoli segreti che aspettano solo di essere scoperti. Qui un'altra caratteristica curiosa sono i corvi, si dice che proteggano la Corona britannica. Oggi, la Torre di Londra è un museo e la sede dei favolosi Gioielli della Corona. Le visite al castello sono guidate dagli Yeomen Warders, soprannominati anche i Beefeaters, le guardie reali.
