People assume that Bermuda is in the Caribbean. In fact, it’s almost 1,000 miles to the north-east, isolated deep in the Atlantic Ocean, about level with Charleston in South Carolina.Yet its British connections feel even stronger than in most of the Caribbean.Perhaps that’s because policemen still wear bobbies’ helmets (at certain times) to direct the traffic; locals play cricket and the remote settlement is officially a British Overseas Territory run by a governor appointed by the King. It’s the oldest of the 14 overseas territories, dating from the early 17th century.Bermuda’s pink beaches, turquoise waters and sherbet-coloured houses have been…

From the landscape scarred by centuries of mine workings to the humble single-storey whitewashed cottages dotted along the hillside, Wanlockhead doesn’t seem much like a major visitor attraction.I’ve arrived in the centre of this tiny Scottish village surrounded by relics of its industrial past. It’s a chilly, windswept place lurking among a range of dark, smooth mountains.But it has a big claim to fame, for this scattered settlement, harbouring just 150 hardy souls, is Scotland’s highest village.

Stress and anxiety may partly explain why colon cancers are surging in younger generations of Americans, a study suggests.Researchers from the Sichuan University of China found that when under frequent stress, a number of healthy bacteria that live in the gut start dying off, making it easier for cancer to move in.When these bacteria die off, tumors grow more quickly, they found, leading to more aggressive, rapidly growing colorectal cancers. These findings come amid an uptick in colon and rectal cancers in young people in the US and UK – which experts have previously attributed to diet. Data from JAMA Surgery showed colon cancer is…
