The Executive Wing of New Zealand Parliament, or the Beehive, as it is generally known, is a true icon of Wellington. Its unique design was a real challenge for government architects and engineers to achieve. In this episode of Telling Tales, we look at its construction. You can have a closer look yourself by attending one of the daily guided tours Parliamentary staff hold to showcase this impressive public building. | Wellington Museum | Facebook

This is the beautiful, beehive shaped Dovecot on the grounds of Aberdour Castle Internally, there are some 600 nests ranged round the walls in tiers. It is undated, but likely to have been built towards the end of the 16th century. It was reported to be in use as far back in 1683 and was still in use in 1746. source:canmore.org.uk #andythehighlander #highlandertours #scotland #scottishhistory #edinburgh #whisky #history #highlands #scottish #kilt #greatkilt #scottishtourguide | Highlander Tours
