#hidden gems

Boston Bricks by Kate K. Burke and Gregg LeFevre Winthrop Lane Boston, MA March 29, 2026

The Fairy Bridge of Glen Creran, between Oban and Glencoe

And it’s still there, just abandoned and hidden behind the trees. You would never know it by driving by but walk just beyond the overgrowth and you’ll see what used to be the most magical place on earth.

Pictured are then/now comparisons that I had almost deleted due to not being able to get a clear “after” shot… but decided to make a post out of them instead.

*defining 'hidden gems' is difficult for me so heres just some from my bookmarks that i haven't seen recced recently. i ended up adding most of these to my endless tbr again lol.

adding the summaries would make this a very long post so i've done my best to just pick the important tags.

thankyou to @allwaswell16 for the tag, i really do love reccing fics.
