From the east, the Union Pacific Railroad had begun building westward. The CPRR's portion of the project was unquestionably more difficult, as their tracks had to pass through the mighty Sierra Nevada – a mountain range that peaks at more than 14,000ft in elevation – before joining the Union Pacific Railroad's tracks.

Chinese labourers were never intended to build the US' greatest railroad. The Central Pacific Railroad (CPRR) and the Union Pacific Railroad had been tasked by Congress to build a railway to connect the country. The CPRR, however, couldn't hire enough white workers at the time, as many of them left for better-paying opportunities in the mines.

Professor Helen Nicholson, medieval historian and author of several books on the Templars, agrees. "People in England have been fascinated by the Templars ever since they were abolished in the 14th Century," she said. The trials against the Templars included accusations that they conducted shady ceremonies in secret underground hiding places. "In effect, they are Gothic horror stories; they were probably dreamed up because people who had worked with the Templars were under severe pressure from papal inquisitors to say something to support the accusations," Nicholson added. "In any case, these stories are probably the reason why the carvings in the cave at Royston [were] ascribed to the Templars. In real life, the Templars were not a subterranean order."

The salmon’s abundant numbers and annual journey have made fishing a key industry in the Pacific Northwest’s economy. From the 1880s to 1950s more than 100 canneries and fishing villages sprang up throughout British Columbia, and in recent years, wild salmon from the province has been exported to 53 different countries. In this aquatic gold rush, Dixon Entrance is the jackpot: Through it flow five species; sockeye, coho, chinook, chum and pink, each returning from the ocean intent on reaching their specific home river in Alaska, British Columbia, Washington or Oregon where they spawn and die.

A monumental statue of Lenin gazed down at me from an archway, while an artistic depiction of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels (the two philosophers who developed Marxism) stared vacantly towards Stalin's monstrously oversized boots. Music from Hungary's communist era played from an old jukebox by the ticket booth; a polished Trabant (a popular but compact East German vehicle known as the "people's car") was surrounded by selfie-taking tourists; while coffee mugs and posters plastered with Lenin's likeness were on sale in the gift shop.

Scott Smith, chef and co-owner of award-winning contemporary Scottish restaurant Fhior in Edinburgh, agrees. He recently chose North Ronaldsay meat for his inaugural Native & Rare dining experience. The North Ronaldsay breed is so unique," he said. "Although you don't taste the seaweed or coastal herbs in the meat, they give it a unique salinity and a very concentrated flavour. It is like comparing farmed duck to wild."
