ALT The photograph shows the Medlock Mill in Manchester on fire in June 2025. The building was also known as the Hotspur Press. The image shows six of the building's windows with the fire blazing behind them. There are the letters making up the name of the building between the two rows of windows.

OTD 1746 Battle of Culloden saw final defeat of Jacobites under Bonnie Prince Charlie after charging Duke of Cumberland’s redcoats. Archaeology has added much to our understanding here and it’s great to be back doing more with @N_T_S & @NTS_archaeology

An astonishingly beautiful & striking public monument both to the bravery of those who launched the 1745 Rising & to those who fought in the Scottish regiments in the Napoleonic Wars which might never have happened if that Rising had been successful @N_T_S
Glenfinnan Monument is a moving tribute; framed by dramatic scenery, it's a breathtaking spot from which to imagine the day when one of the most important events in history began: the 1745 Jacobite Rising. > brnw.ch/21wPECj
