MyInstaScotland on Instagram: "Castle of St John, Stranraer, Dumfries and Galloway. The castle was built around 1510 near St John’s Chapel and originally was called the Place of St John or the Castle of Chapel. By the late 1500s a small settlement, also called Chapel, had grown up around the tower-house. In common with other landowners the Adairs would have used the castle as a family home and a centre for the administration of the estate, collecting rents and entertaining guests. The main hall

Luke Sherlock on Instagram: "• Saint Remy-de-Provence • The hauntingly beautiful 11th and 12th century Romanesque cloister at the former monastery of Saint Paul de Mausole. Of course, this building is famous as the asylum which hosted Vincent Van Gogh for a year between 1889-1890…a year in which his was able to grope closest to his artistic vision; to let the world know he was a being who felt things deeply."

Natalie Grueninger on Instagram: "Let’s have a little wander around the magnificent Gloucester Cathedral! When Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn arrived in Gloucester on 31st July 1535, they were greeted by the abbot and his brethren in the porch of the abbey. The royal couple dismounted their horses and knelt down on cushions provided for their comfort. They ‘kissed the cross with great reverence’, before processing to the high altar and then onto their lodgings. Today you can stand in the south porch
