'Rare and special' UK beach with singing sands bordering crystal clear water
Porthor, known by some as 'Whistling Sands', is one of only two beaches in Europe where the sand 'sings' under your feet - and it's a must-visit for Brits. Nestled within North Wales's Llŷn Peninsula lies one of Britain's most extraordinary beaches, Porthor. Dubbed 'Whistling Sands' by many, this remarkable stretch of coastline boasts a peculiar characteristic - the sand actually whistles beneath your feet as you walk. As one of merely two European beaches where this extraordinary phenomenon occurs, Porthor - or Porth Oer as it's known locally - stands as an essential destination for any traveller. Walking holiday experts Mickledore have emphasised that Porthor captivates visitors with its unusual acoustic properties, spectacular scenery, and convenient accessibility. The experts add: "Porthor's gentle 'song' is rare and beautiful. It turns a simple walk into something magical. Where else can you step on the sand and have it sing back to you?" Alongside its singing sands, Porthor offers stunning views of the small islands of Dinas Bach and Dinas Fawr, where grey seals are sometimes spotted. The beach also sits in a n ideal spot for Wales Coast Path walkers, acting as an excellent launching point for treks to Mynydd Anelog, another site offering spectacular panoramas. Visitors hoping to witness the 'whistling sands' phenomenon must time their trip perfectly. Head there on a dry day, stroll above the high tide mark, and either shuffle your feet or tread gently - that's when you might catch the distinctive squeak or whistle. Beachgoers have been singing the praises of this unique spot on TripAdvisor. One visitor gushed: "This was our favourite beach on Llyn. Perhaps more of a 'squeak' than a whistling beach but sure enough if you walk across the sand bare foot you'll hear it! Dramatic location, crystal clear waters, lovely soft squeaky sand!" Another fan penned: "What a lovely sandy beach, great car park, lovely views with rock pools and a cave for the children to explore. Could hear the sand whistling under our feet, well worth a visit." However, one visitor who missed out on the 'whistling' still had positive words to share: "Beautiful beach well worth a visit. Lovely coffee and cake served in the cafe. Sand was quite wet so I didn't get the whistling experience."

AI start-up ChatBlu raises 500,000 US dollars in pre-seed funding
London-based artificial intelligence start-up ChatBlu, which bills itself as the first autonomous AI agent for multi-platform inventory management, has raised 500,000 US dollars in pre-seed funding. The round was led by Matador Venture Capital, with participation from angel investors associated with Google and Amazon Web Services. The funding will support ChatBlu's product development and go-to-market rollout, which is planned for September 2025. Initially, the AI technology will serve English-speaking markets, with expansion into the Hispanic e-commerce sector planned for 2026. The start-up, founded by 20-year-olds Kristian Lukauskis and Alexander Dillon, aims to solve a widespread pain point in digital commerce: syncing listings, managing stock, and adjusting pricing across storefronts like Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, and WooCommerce by enabling store owners to issue simple, natural-language commands for all backend tasks autonomously across channels. Industry research estimates that poor inventory coordination results in 1.8 trillion US dollars in lost revenue for retailers every year. ChatBlu's team believes its product can help merchants increase conversion rates by up to 20 percent through intelligent listing optimisation and real-time inventory control. Dillon said in a statement: 'E-commerce has evolved, but inventory management hasn't kept up. ChatBlu is here to change that and set a new standard for how stores operate across platforms.' The company was developed within the 2024–2025 cohort of the Genoa Entrepreneurship School, a European accelerator programme that boasts a 75 percent funding success rate.

Major plans revealed for new bridge linking city to Glasgow Airport in £60million transformation
BUILDING BRIDGES Major plans revealed for new bridge linking city to Glasgow Airport in £60million transformation Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MAJOR plans have been revealed for a brand new bridge linking a Scottish city to Glasgow Airport. The £60million project includes a harbour bridge, new roads and dedicated walking and cycling routes in Renfrewshire. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 The new project will improve transport links from Paisley town centre to Glasgow Airport Credit: Alamy 3 The local authority received £38.7million from the UK government's Levelling Up Fund Credit: Renfrewshire Council/BEAM Architects The work is set to improve transport links between Paisley town centre and Glasgow Airport. It will also improve access to the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District Scotland (AMIDS) - which is hoped to bring in millions of pounds to the area. The local authority received £38.7million from the UK government's Levelling Up Fund for the AMIDS South project. Renfrewshire Council has committed a £18.8million to build a new road bridge across Paisley harbour and a gateway route along the White Cart river. There is a further £1.5million provided by Transport Scotland to build a safe access route from Gallowhill using the underpass on the former railway line. The project is expected to be complete and open in 2028. A network of roads, cycling and walking links from the town centre train and bus station to AMIDS, Glasgow Airport and Inchinnan also feature in the plans. A new road will also be built from Renfrew Road to the bridge crossing - which will connect the new Paisley Grammar School Community Campus. The project could bolster the local economy by an additional £136million in private sector investment. It could also cut carbon emissions by more than 21,700 tonnes while helping existing and new companies to grow, creating new job opportunities for years to come. First new road bridge crossing River Clyde in 20 years opens to drivers TODAY Council leader Iain Nicolson told the BBC: "It will bring high-quality jobs, world-leading industry and provide a significant boost to the area's economy so it is important that we provide the appropriate access to Scotland's home of manufacturing innovation. "This project will not only provide infrastructure to better connect communities to education and employment opportunities, but it will also significantly improve the offer to organisations looking to locate here with enhanced access to the airport and the fourth-busiest train station in Scotland." Farrans Construction has been appointed to deliver the project. The company was behind the Govan to Partick bridge in Glasgow.
