Oftentimes, the British
Isles conjure up thoughts of
medieval castles, gilded palaces,
afternoon tea, photogenic
clocktowers, moats and dragons,
“Braveheart,” Merlin, knights
and maybe a redcoat soldier
with a tall bearskin hat.
But, God save the Queen,
there’s so much more to the
British Isles than the already
iconic and quintessential. The
flow of time slows for no square
inch of the world, and, as such,
everyone beats on into the new
and novel— including the land
of Merlin and moats. While the
remnants of the British Isles’
storied past still rise up amongst
the hustle and bustle of modern
metropolises, take a good look
at that hustle and bustle. It’s
the modern side that crackles
with thrilling vibrancy and
energy, just waiting to captivate
you. And here, in the following
pages, we’ll spell out where
and how.
