Lincluden Collegiate Church, Dumfriesshire, United Kingdom

Lincluden Collegiate Church is a ruined religious house, situated to the north of Dumfries, Scotland. Situated in a bend of the River Cairn, at its confluence with the River Nith, the ruins are on the site of the Bailey of the very early Lincluden Castle, as are those of the later Lincluden Tower. This religious house was founded c. 1160 and was used for various purposes, until its abandonment around 1700. The remaining ruins are protected as a scheduled monument.

Stunning remains, shame about the disregard to its history, full of rubbish and the odd bit of graffiti. Shame the locals don't respect their own monuments. Otherwise great.

Easy access to old ruins next to a river. Open to the public, no need to buy tickets.

This is a ruin, but the atmosphere and location help visitors access cneturoes of spiritual life. It is a hidden gem.

This was way more impressive in person than I thought it would be. We came early-ish in the morning so the lighting was gorgeous. It was fun to explore and see the differences in the two parts of the structure. The architecture was stunning.

This is a fantastic church with some of the best architecture that I have seen in Scotland the site is free and there is a small car park near the site also it isn't covered in scaffolding which most sites in Scotland seem to be at the moment well worth a visit if you are passing by

House of Blackheads

House of the Blackheads (Melngalvju nams) is a building situated in the old town of Riga. The original building was erected during the first third of the 14th century for the Brotherhood of Blackheads, a guild for unmarried German merchants in Riga. Major works were done in the years 1580 and 1886, adding most of the ornaments.

The structure was bombed to a ruin by the Germans June 28, 1941 and the remains demolished by the Soviets in 1948. The current reconstruction was erected from 1995 to 1999. Today the House of Blackheads serves as a museum and sometimes concert hall.
