Transport in Madeira introduced by Robert Reid Kalley in the 19th century. The islands have two airports, one in Santa Cruz (known as Funchal Airport (FNC)) on the Island of Madeira and the other in the city of Vila Baleira on Porto Santo Island.

The "Lymond Chronicles" was written prior to "The House of Niccolò" but is set chronologically later, telling the story of descendants of characters in "The House of Niccolò"
