Helicopter Glamping in Scotland

Mains Farm Wigwams, a picturesque camping site near the New Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, offers glamping accommodation in a retired Royal Navy Sea King helicopter, complete with chic sleeping quarters, cockpit lounge, and sweeping vistas of the Stirling countryside.

While retaining some of its original features – including dashboard, foot pedals, and roof panel switches, the aircraft has been refitted to provide overnight stays for a family of five. Interiors are clad in white painted wood paneling and appointed with stylish decor mixing new and repurposed furnishings.

A shower room and a small stainless steel kitchenette occupy the former sonar station; the tail houses a single bed; and the cockpit, offering stunning panoramic views over the Carse of Stirling, doubles as lounge and dining area.

Mains Farm’s newest addition is now open for booking, with prices starting at £150 per night for two adults.

Stiff Pose Victorian Postmortem photography (140 Pics)

Postmortem photography or memento mori, the photographing of a deceased person, was a common practice in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The photographs were considered a keepsake to remember the dead. Child mortality was high during the Victorian era. For many children even a common sickness could be fatal. When a child or other family member died, families would often have a photograph taken before burial. Many times it was the first and last photograph they would ever possess of their loved one. Many postmortem photographs were close-ups of the face or shots of the full body. The deceased were usually depicted to appear as if they were in a deep sleep, or else arranged to appear more life-like. Children were often shown on a couch or in a crib, often posed with a favorite toy. It was not uncommon to photograph very young children with a family member, most frequently the mother. Adults were more commonly posed in chairs or even propped up on something.
