Advantages: An intersting attraction, free to visit Disadvantages: In a remote location
The Isles of Lewis and Harris in the Outer Hebrides are amongst the remotest of all British outposts and subsequently do not receive the vast number of tourists that they would undoubtedly do if they were more accessible. These islands not only boast the most magnificent beaches in the whole of Northern Europe they are also packed full of hundreds of little curiosities, some of which could be easily missed but turn out to be real little gems.
The Whale Bone Arch at Bragar was marked as a tourist attraction on my map and since it was just down the road from where I was staying I decided to check it out. I was however somewhat surprised therefore to discover that this attraction is actually in someone's back garden.

Here we have one of the most successful Swedish death metal bands, shown here on the verge of their mainstream metal breakthrough.
Personally doomsday machine is my favourite arch enemy album, it gets the balance right between power and creativity and doesn't bore the listener.

The elegant Gateway Arch, reaching up to 630 feet dominates St Louis? skyline. Standing in the Jefferson Natural Expansion Memorial Park, the arch symbolises the role St Louis played as the gateway to the west.
Shortly after the Second World War in 1947, a competition was privately financed to find a suitable architectural centrepiece for the park. The aim was to commemorate Thomas Jefferson?s vision of the spread of freedom and democracy from ?sea to shining sea? and his commissioned expedition in 1804 to the west coast headed by Lewis and Clark.
Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen and structural engineer Hannskarl Bandel?s design of this graceful tapered stainless-steel catenary arch won over the 171 other entries. Construction of this remarkable structure took around three years to complete. Pictures of the construction can ...
