1. Round the Isle UK trip #4 Calling Harry Potter fans and showcasing Scottish snippets

@livinguktaiwan takes us on a tour of the famous Harry Potter Hogwarts Railway Viaduct. In real life it is called the Glenfinnan Viaduct and is located between Fort William and Mallaig, Scotland. The West Highland Line train journey is 66km long. At around 30 minutes, the train slows so passengers can take in the stunning 380m long viaduct with its 21 semi circular spans. She then drives from Fort William to the Commando Memorial to view the highest mountain in the British Isles, Ben Nevis. Afterwards she heads to Morar, where she can admire the Glenfinnan Viaduct again, but from a different angle.

2. Traveling the World #73 (Asia Series) Naruto @ Tokushima, Japan

Next we visit Naruto, Japan with @travelgirl, who takes us to the famous swirling whirlpools in the Strait of Naruto. These can be seen underneath the spectacular Ōnaruto Bridge or from a boat. There are two things to keep in mind when visiting the whirlpools. First, go when the weather is good, and second, check the boats' websites since they only occur at certain times of the day. The tour takes around 30 minutes.

3. Edam - Not just a cheese.

Finally, @fiftysixnorth takes us to the historic town of Edam in the Netherlands. As expected, Edam is most famous for its cheese. People flock from all over to witness the town's historic cheese market traditions and practices. Edam is riddled with canals, which the farmers use to transport their cheese to market. Numerous iconic Dutch drawbridges allow people to move easily from one side of the canals to the other. Edam is a beautifully historic town with wonderful original architecture.

It makes me frustrated that this post received 70 upvotes as of this moment and has only made $1.30. To me that's messed up.

Hello @SteemItWorldMap team, this morning I tried to access the code from a mobile. I got the code however I was not able to copy it. Do you guys know why? I'm using iOS 11.1 - I am now updating it into 11.1.1 so let's see if it solves the problem. Anyway, I use the computer and it's all fine. Just when I was away and only have phone with me, things got less smooth and I couldn't copy the code. Thanks all!

I've asked @martibis to take a look at this for you.

Thanks for featuring my Edam post here :)

Been tied up for a while so just getting back to digests I missed - as usual great selections. Doing my weekly resteem as well!
