I love the colours in this pic, which I took just along from the Coruisk Memorial Hut on Skye. With the eye of faith, you can just about make out dots around the edge of Eilean Glas, a tiny, rocky island in Loch na Cuilce, near the mighty Cuillins. Each is a basking seal. A lovely calm place to be.

An iPhone photograph for some wider context to the last shot.

This is such a beautiful part of Scotland and walking early in the day means you can have it all to yourself

A camera shot this time, from one of my walks on Harris earlier this month.

Minutes before taking this, I had rounded the top of a hill and startled a golden eagle on the ground. No photos, but I can tell you that watching him take off, not 20 feet from where I stood, was breathtaking

The other end of the same stunning beach, which faces a now uninhabited island, on which still stand abandoned crofts.

The two people walking on the beach will give you some idea of the scale of this beautiful place

This is one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever been on. It has a huge curving swathe of white sand and turquoise water. At one end there are rocks forming the most lovely patterns and textures. The colours are quite breathtaking

On my way home from Scotland and the islands.
I will never cease to be blown away by this country πŸ’™πŸ€πŸ’™

I’m afraid there are more pics to follow. It’s been one hell of a trip!

The local heron population seems largely unperturbed by the increase in visitor numbers, tourists, traffic etc. recently and can often be spotted around, and flying over, the town.

This one, from the bridge on the accurately named "Bridge Road" was being a bit more elusive... for such a large bird

Not the first of the season, that was a couple of weekends ago, but the first to land in a convenient place in front of my phone which, in this day and age, is often all that matters πŸ˜‰πŸ™‚

Furze / gorse / whin looking across to Ben Nevis on today's lunch break.

Given the plant's sweet smell, I used to wonder if it was the secret ingredient in Drambuie...

Heres a fun* thing, two different of taken just a few hours apart on my journey back home to this week. Both looking vaguely South.

One from an early morning walk up to the other, a few hours on a service later, at Loch Claunie, Glen Moriston in the .

(*I use the word 'fun' very loosely here, it amused me a bit when I realised they were both facing the same way πŸ˜„)

Something of a grand tour of coming up over the coming fortnight, between work and a trip away.

Today began very early, a 5am train down to the central belt from station. The route through the , misty foothills and red sky lit by the sunrise was spectacular. It was however, impossible to take a photo that did it justice with the reflection of the window πŸ™„

So here instead is a dark railway platform.. πŸ˜„

The one thing I don't hate about is actually that her candidacy focuses things a bit more away from the central belt to the and islands. I would even support Christian things like every Sunday, all shops close and work stops, hospitality workers who work Sundays get 1.5x salary

It's just unfortunate that she looks at and thinks: let's DEREGULATE AND ECONOMIC GROWTH instead of maybe banning and

An evening view of the Ness. Very similar to a photo I took a few weeks ago when I was last passing through on a fine evening, but this time, for added variety πŸ˜‰ πŸ€— looking the other way, East, and out to sea.

Apologies for anyone not remotely interested in the Barkley marathons. The race is over and normal service has resumed πŸ˜‰

Here is a photo from the absolutely wonderful Isle of Harris 🀩

A heavy flurry of snow in the small hours has closed the schools and returned the village to white after a few days of thaw.

The trees in town look like coral at first glance (to me at least..πŸ™‚), but a crow perched at the very top surveying the scene gives the game away.
