- STRIKING scenes of some of the world’s most beautiful cities have been captured in charcoal by one of Ireland’s leading landscape artists.

CELTIC SOURCE: A 5TH BRANCH? FROM THE LIVE LECTURE ARCHIVE.
- What would a 5th branch of the Mabinogi look like? By following the recurring themes of The Four Branches of the Mabinogi, is there a way of guessing what a 5th branch would contain? A lecture given a few years back at the Aberystwyth Storytelling Festival.
SCOTS ACTRESS KAREN GILLAN ‘BUSTED' LISTENING TO BAGPIPES ON GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY SET
- Scottish actress Karen Gillan was caught blasting out some truly patriotic music during filming for Guardians of the Galaxy Volume Three.
- The 35-year-old, originally from Inverness, could have been left red-faced too as she was discovered listening to some bagpipes in between shooting scenes, if it wasn't for all the fabulous efforts from the hair and makeup team who transformed her into the blue anti-hero character Nebula for the smash hit Marvel film.
THE ULTIMATE ODYSSEY — JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF TOWN
- A slow boat to Chinatown — James Ruddy takes a gentle canal boat voyage from sleepy Cheshire into the heart of Manchester.
- IMAGINE THE SCENE: you’ve just moored up your red and green narrowboat on a leafy embankment ready for your evening meal on board, as a nearby grey heron dives gracefully into the water and emerges with his own supper, a silvery fish clamped in his beak.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WHILE LISTENING?
You can send a comment or a picture of what you're doing. You can also send a photo from one of your trips to a Celtic nation or anywhere around the globe.
