The Old Church at Nigg in Easter Ross and the magnificent Nigg cross slab that is on display within it. Measuring 2.1m in height by 1.05m wide, this is one of the very finest of the Pictish carved stones to have been found in Scotland.

I’m posting local pictures on my socials atm as I’m moving and thought I’d highlight the area surrounding where I live now.

A new study on the origins of the Picts concludes that their origins were not "exotic" but local.
Genome analyses of individuals excavated from Pictish-era cemeteries at Lundin Links (Fife) and Balintore (Easter Ross) suggest that the Picts originated in the British Isles and that they may not have been matrilineal after all.

Good morning Wednesday on Mastodon. Sharing a Shandwick sunrise today (Seaboard Villages, Fearn Peninsula, Easter Ross) Not swum there since December due to ill health. Itching to get back. I’ve walked there lots recently and it’s peaceful, but not as soul-soothing as a swim.

Portmahomack the day after the storm. Walter the rescue dog’s first visit. His verdict on the beach? 100% perfect. #portmahomack #easterross
We call this ‘Cromarty View’ and I photograph it routinely. It’s really a view west down the firth with a snowy Ben Wyvis as a backdrop

This week I’ve been dogged by cats. A nice distraction, though they’ve made writing that wee bit harder. I’m away from home and missing it. North Sutor from the Black Isle. My ‘home hill’ on the Fearn Peninsula.

A local local view for today’s wintery Scotland shot. Ben Wyvis from the Carse of Bayfield. A bit of calm for your frantic maybe. A bit skewed, I note, but I was too lazy to change it. I very rarely fiddle with photos post shot. Straightening might have been good in this case, however. 🙄 #NotAPro #Scotland #ScottishHighlands #CromartyFirth #EasterRoss #BenWyvis #ScotlandPhotography #PhotoOfTheDay #NoFilter #Stubble #Haystack #Mountain #SnowontheMountain
