This page gathers British websites, channels and accounts. Old Bailey Online is a fully searchable archive of London's central criminal court, with over 197,000 trials from 1674 to 1913, told largely in the words of witnesses and defendants. AuroraWatch UK, run by space physicists at Lancaster University, sends automatic alerts whenever the northern lights may be visible from Britain.
For nature and landscapes, the Scottish Geologist on TikTok reads Scotland rock by rock, from the volcano under Edinburgh to a fault across Loch Lomond. London's Natural History Museum shares dinosaurs, specimens and fieldwork on Instagram with a dose of humor, and the National Trust's Pinterest boards cover UK wildlife and recipes from scones to jam roly-poly.
Every find is picked by an editor, checked live and comes with a short review. The page grows as new finds about the UK appear, since Country of the day keeps returning to every country.
