Hi #beekeepers especially any in #Scotland. I came across a hive of wild bees in the Isle of #Bute. These were very dark, almost black. I have a vague memory that black bees are the native strain & quite rare. Is this right? My picture is not great but the best I could do. #apiary #apiarist

Whilst hugely in awe of the ability of #housemartins to fly from #Africa to #Scotland & back, I am even more impressed that they always know where their nest is when they have built it on one of the #Bute ferries. Are we in #Colintraive, #Rhubodach or somewhere in-between?

This Rothesay Pebble has dressed up because it is getting the ferry for a night out in Glasgow...

Sea Tree 1 and 2.
The splendid Macs Bar in Rothesay. Given a bit of a digital clean up.
Architecture photography isn't something I am hugely into but I did wish I had some more time to take photos in here. Mount Stuart on Bute.
Holiday to Bute complete. Yet another I can't believe I haven't already visited location, its really lovely.

More cycling about on #Bute. View back to the mainland from #Craigmore, plus St Blane's Chapel and the view from there over to #Arran. Lovely and flat, almost not windy.

#Vorfreude! Das #Zitronenbäumchen ist seit Wochen ausdauernd und hat dabei noch viel vor.
#Zitronenbaum blüht scheinbar von innen nach außen. Und duftet #himmlisch.
Dabei bin ich mit ihm ziemlich ruppig umgegangen.
Neulich vergessen stand er noch bei 0°C aufm #Balkon und dann die Nacht wieder bei Zimmertemperatur drinnen.

@theferret What is the ferry service to #Bute like? This must also influence how willing people are to move (and stay) there. #Scotland #IsleOfBute

These are part of my forgotten heritage project and taken at old Tiger Bay, Cardiff. With the need to move on, we slowly forget our past. The last 2 images are of The Coal Exchange. A building that's been saved by now being transformed into a hotel. It's worth noting, it's within this great hall that the world's first million point cheque was signed, here in Cardiff!

These are part of my forgotten heritage project and taken at old Tiger Bay, Cardiff. With the need to move on, we slowly forget our past. These images show how certain elements of Tiger Bay are still there, either as stood the test of time and current, or left when the area undertook its gentrification as a shallow layer of authenticity for tourists to appreciate.

The island capital and resort of Rothesay on the Isle of Bute, seen from the walls of Rothesay Castle, with the mainland in the distance. The castle stands in the heart of the town and gives great views of it. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/bute/rothesay/index.html

The surprisingly extensive ruins of St Blane's Church near the southern end of the Isle of Bute. The church fell into disuse after the Reformation and most of the remains of the nave and the chancel you see today date back to the 1100s.
