That one threw me as I’ve always known it as ‘Lindisfarne’ But you’re right, it IS also known as Holy Island!

Staying with the ‘Island’ theme. How about Isle of Man for a follow-up?

Jura :scotland: is another island following on from the Isle of Man entry above.

Queensferry - South and North on the Firth of Forth. These two villages became very quiet after 1964 when the Forth Road Bridge was opened to carry the traffic over from Edinburgh to Fife. I remember stopping at the bridge viewpoint in the summer of 1964 to view the new engineering masterpiece. We then crossed the bridge and carried on to Inverness.

Stonehaven - a coastal town on the north east coast of Scotland :scotland:

Tallin Estonia Tallinn’s atmospheric Old Town is an enthralling hotchpotch of medieval streets and spires. It’s a small city, and the tourist areas are safe and easily explored on foot. Buy a Tallinn Card if you intend to use buses, trolleybuses or trams. For a look into Tallinn’s past, visit Rocca-al-Mare Open Air Museum’s typical rural Estonian taverns, windmills and watermills, see the onion-domed 1900 cathedral or join the bustle in historic Town Hall Square. St Olav’s spire was once the tallest in the world
