Cloch Lighthouse Firth of Clyde Scotland
Tour Scotland travel video of Cloch Lighthouse on the eastern shore of the Firth of Clyde, directly opposite Dunoon. Built for the Clyde Lighthouses Trust in 1797, it was designed by Thomas Smith, born 1752, died 1815, with the assistance of Robert Stevenson, born 1772, died 1850. The squat white tower features a single black band and rises 76 feet above sea level. The light has a range of 14 miles and was originally illuminated by an acetylene flame, with the lenses floating on a bath of mercury and rotated by a clockwork mechanism, which had to be wound by the lightkeepers every few hours. A foghorn was added in 1897.

FORTH RAILWAY BRIDGE
The Forth Bridge is a cantilever railway bridge across the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland, west of central Edinburgh. It is considered as a symbol of Scotland (having been voted Scotland's greatest man-made wonder in 2016). It was designed by the English engineers Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker. It is sometimes referred to as the Forth Rail Bridge (to distinguish it from the adjacent Forth Road Bridge).
Construction of the bridge began in 1882 and it was opened on 4 March 1890 by the Duke of Rothesay, the future Edward VII. The bridge spans the Forth between the villages of South Queensferry and North Queensferry and has a total length of 8,094 feet (2,467 m). When it opened it had the longest single cantilever bridge span in the world, until 1919 when the Quebec Bridge in Canada was completed. It continues to be the world's second-longest single cantilever span, with a span of 1,709 feet (521 m).
FORTH ROAD BRIDGE
The Forth Road Bridge is a suspension bridge in east central Scotland. The bridge opened in 1964 and at the time was the longest suspension bridge in the world outside the United States. The bridge spans the Firth of Forth, connecting Edinburgh, at South Queensferry, to Fife, at North Queensferry. It replaced a centuries-old ferry service to carry vehicular traffic, cyclists and pedestrians across the Forth.
The bridge's central main span is 1,006 metres long, its two side spans are each 408 metres long, and the approach viaducts are 257 metres on the north side and 438 metres on the south side. The total length is 2,512 metres. It was the longest suspension bridge span outside the United States and the fourth-longest span in the world at the time of its construction. The bridge is made of 39,000 tonnes of steel and 115,000 cubic metres of concrete. The towers reach 156 metres above mean water level. The main strung cables are 590 millimetres (23 in) in diameter, with 11,618 high tensile wires, each five millimetres in diameter, and each cable carries 13,800 tonnes of the bridge's load.
QUEENSFERRY CROSSING
The Queensferry Crossing is a three-tower cable-stayed bridge, with an overall length of 1.7 miles. Around 2.5 miles of new connecting roads were built, including new and upgraded junctions at Ferrytoll in Fife, South Queensferry and Junction 1A on the M9
The bridge was first due to be completed by December 2016, but this deadline was extended to August 2017 after several delays. It is the third bridge across the Forth at Queensferry, alongside the Forth Road Bridge completed in 1964, and the Forth Bridge completed in 1890. Following a public vote, it was formally named on 26 June 2013 and opened to traffic on 30 August 2017. The official opening was carried out on 4 September 2017 by Queen Elizabeth II, fifty-three years to the day after she opened the adjacent Forth Road Bridge.

High Tide and Strong Winds on Blackpool prom Jan 2017
Welcome to my channel.
So what did I do today? Friday 13th January 2017?
Well it was freezing cold, high winds and a 9.2 metre high tide... soo of course I went to the promenade to film the beautiful sea :)
I made a few short videos of today's high tide. they didn't turn out as good as I'd hoped.. but I hope you like them anyway..
This channel is mainly dedicated to videos of my hometown, Blackpool, Lancashire, England.
Blackpool is a beautiful seaside town on the north west coast of England.
We have many cool attractions here including our world famous Blackpool Tower, the Pleasure Beach, three piers and a lovely sandy beach..
Blackpool is a relatively poor town that gets (unfairly in my opinion), a lot of bad press..
The aim of my channel is to show Blackpool in a better light..
No town or city is perfect so it's best to appreciate the good parts wherever you live :)

Loch Leven Castle Aerial Cinematography + Scottish Cup Hot Air Balloon
I've wanted to film Loch Leven Castle for a while now but many times over the last 6 months or so when I've visited or have been driving by the water's always been really choppy or the sunlight/weather has been poor, I was lucky this evening arriving to a beautiful flat calm and perfect light just catching the last golden minutes. I wasn't aware of the hot air balloon until I'd flown back and landed so I re-loaded another battery but unfortunately they didn't fly only inflated it..managed to get a little video before they packed up though.
Filmed in 1080p with a DJI Phantom 3, edited with iMovie on iPhone.

The best places to ring in the New Year
10. Las Vegas
As if it wasn't hedonistic enough the rest of the year round, Sin City manages to step it up a notch for New Year's Eve, with its famous Boulevard turned into a giant pedestrianised zone for super-safe wandering.... & fireworks
9. Sydney
Sydney-siders certainly know how to do justice to New Year's Eve, with all eyes on the Harbour Bridge come midnight
8. Paris
When the clock starts tick-tocking to midnight, join the rest of the hoards and head to one of the world's most famous streets, the Champs-Elysees, which really starts to fill up from 9pm onwards. Make sure you have a good view of the Eiffel Tower come 12 as the iconic landmark will be lit up with fireworks (as an FYI, New Year's Eve is called Saint Sylvestre in France).
7. Berlin
Berliners head to the Brandenburg Gate to welcome in the New Year, where party people regularly top the million mark, and from which you can expect to see the 2,000-strong firework display. Go with the throng to the city's legendary 'Party Mile', Strasse des 17th Juni -- the street behind Brandenburg Gate --
6. Hong Kong
Start your NYE celebrations in Hong Kong with an early dinner, before pounding the pavement to get a great view of the fireworks over the world-famous Harbour come midnight.
5 .New Orleans
While Bourbon Street is where you'll find the tourists celebrating the New Year, savvy locals slip across to Frenchman Street for a more laidback boho vibe in this party-mad city.
4 .Amsterdam
One of the best European cities to spend NYE in, due to the fact you can walk (or stumble!) home easily without the need for a taxi. On the big night -- which the Dutch call Oudjaarsdag or Oudjaarsavond (Old Year's Day, or Old Year's Evening) -- head to Dam Square, Rembrandtplein, Nieuwmarkt and Leidseplein, where the bars will be filled with revellers. The firework displays can be somewhat haphazard, as there is a tradition for locals to bring their own and set them off in the squares, making for some fun, though slightly scary moments for the uninitiated.
3. Vienna
There's nothing quite like New Year's in Vienna, where you'll find yourself swept along cobbled streets by the lively crowds. The best way to experience the decadent side of the city that Casanova once called home is by securing tickets to one of the many balls hosted on the big night, such as the glitzy event at the Hofburg Palace.
2. Edinburgh
Hogmanay in Edinburgh hasn't achieved international acclaim for nothing, and it's one of the biggest and best street parties in the world (certainly one of the coldest!). The four-day celebration starts on December 29 with the Torchlight Procession from Parliament Square to Calton Hill, atop of which a Viking long ship is spectacularly burned; followed by plenty of family-style entertainment along George Street on the 30th. Street parties and concerts abound on the 31st, with revellers spilling out of the many bars, restaurants and cafés come midnight to celebrate on the street, wee dram in hand. Finally, on New Year's Day, a trip to catch the Loony Dook between 11am-1pm at the Moorings in South Queensferry is a must
1.Rio de Janeiro
As if this sizzling city needs another excuse to throw a metropolis-wide party! On New Year's Eve, it's all about hitting up Copacabana Beach, with plenty of revellers heading there on the morning of the 31st to spend the entire day and night celebrating. View the largest fireworks display in the world getting away from the cold of europe and north america. Dress up in traditional white and join the two million plus who flock to the sandy shores to thread their way between a multitude of impromptu beach bashes. Alternatively, catch the cable car up to the celebrations on Sugarloaf Mountain (advance ticket in hand, of course), for the annual, organised parties that are hosted there.
