Most of our visitors to Alnwick have experienced really lovely weather (even ones who visited in February last year!). Sadly this wasn't the case when our friends Rob & Barbara paid us a flying visit last November. The cloud-base was barely above the hilltops and sometimes even lower, with occasional outbreaks of rain. Thus a coast walk/visit to Lindisfarne wasn't on the cards.
However Rob & Barbara are both engineers, and less than 15 mins drive from us is the wonderful National Trust Cragside property. This is most famous as being the first house in the world to be lit by hydroelectricity, introduced by its owner William /Armstrong - who was first and foremost a pioneering engineer. Thus we spent a fascinating, albeit damp, few hours exploring some of the grounds and buildings. This is the lovely footbridge which spans the gorge just below the main house.

The present Stirling Old Bridge was built in the 1400s or 1500s, replacing a succession of timber bridges. Undoubtedly the best-known of these was one that stood nearby in the 1290s, when Sir William Wallace and Sir Andrew Moray defeated Edward I’s forces at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297.
The bridge also played a part in the Jacobite Rising of 1745, when an arch was removed to forestall Bonnie Prince Charlie’s forces as they marched south. The bridge today remains one of the best medieval masonry arch bridges in Scotland.
Besalu, Spain
.Besalú was designated as a historical national property in 1966. The town's most significant feature is its 12th-century Romanesque bridge over the Fluvià river, which features a gateway at its midpoint. The church of Sant Pere was consecrated in 1003. The town features arcaded streets and squares and also a restored mikveh, a ritual Jewish bath dating from the eleventh or twelfth century, as well as the remains of a medieval synagogue, located in the lower town near the river. Besalú also hosts the Museum of miniatures created by jeweler and art collector Lluís Carreras.

This bridge was initially built by the Turks in 1569 - at that time it was the largest stone arch bridge in the world. It was named a UNESCO site. It was destroyed by the Croatian forces in the Bosnian Civil War in 1994 - a particularly senseless act in what everyone now recognizes as a senseless war. The bridge was rebuilt according to the original plans, using as much of the original stone as possible..Mostar is the largest city in the Herzgovina portion of Bosnia and is mixed Croatian & Bosnian.

Carrbridge Packhorse Bridge, also known as Coffin Bridge, is a bridge in the village of Carrbridge in the Highlands of Scotland. The bridge was built in 1717 to allow funeral processions to reach Duthil Church by crossing the River Dulnain. The parapets were washed away in the 19th century. In 1971 the bridge became a Category B listed building. It is now a popular tourist attraction.
History
The packhorse bridge was constructed to allow funerals to proceed across the River Dulnain to Duthil Church. Brigadier-General Alexander Grant commissioned the bridge. Stonemason John Niccelsone constructed the bridge at Lynne of Dalrachney and the £100 cost was paid for out of stipends of Duthil Church. The bridge was completed in 1717 and floods in the 1829 Muckle Spate washed away the guard rails. The bridge also provided a way for tradesmen and locals to cross the river. It is the Scottish Highlands' oldest known stone bridge.
It was listed as a scheduled monument on 29 December 1958 and subsequently de-scheduled on 5 April 2016. The bridge became a Category B listed building on 5 October 1971.

Let's hope we can all bridge the troubled waters, whatever their causes might be.
