Me and Frieda on a bench next to a 200 year old beech tree.
Beautiful September weather

Today's bike ride to the white bridge of Loch Arkaig.
(Please forgive the industrial bike support and the bike being off centre. Was too tired to do anything better! )

Corran ferry is ‘off’ again. This time something to do with the pier.
I would laugh, but it’s really serious to lives and livelihoods.

Amazing double rainbow tonight in #Lochaber. We get a lot of rainbows here, but I think this is the best I’ve seen in the 7 years we’ve lived here. #Passivhaus #EnerPHit looking sharp 👌

With the Corran ferry now not working again, local businesses are closing and local folk are selling up.
These precious houses will get snapped up by non local holiday folk who don’t rely on the local infrastructure (all they contribute is pot hols in the roads and high house prices). Less houses, less work, less kids in the schools.
Landreform needs to happen at this local level now while there are still communities to save.

So grateful i get to see this everyday.
Morning walk through bracken way over my head height and soaking wet grasses to get to this. The forestry track and half way home . #lochaber #midges #highlands #saveourplanet

Frieda joining in a session at Arisaig (Crofters). Nice sunday out. I’m not driving, so i’m tapping my foot with a beer in hand.

Filmed one cloudy day last October, a lovely short film - featuring me! - about the Scottish scientist CTR Wilson and the experiences on Ben Nevis that started him on the road to the Nobel-winning invention of the cloud chamber https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/115282-005-A/en-ecosse-les-scientifiques-n-en-croient-pas-leurs-yeux/ (in French) #historyofscience #ctrwilson #cloudchamber #particlephysics #fortwilliam #lochaber #bennevis #physics #ArteTV

Royal* National Mòd, Scotland’s largest Gaelic festival, headed for Fort William in 2025
In 2024, Oban will host the festival.
*Why is it called "Royal" anyway?🤔

The remains of Tigh nan Saighdearan, or the "Soldiers' House", the tiny Jacobite-era barracks in a seriously remote but strategically important location west of Loch Arkaig, controlling a significant route across the western Highlands.

Have a Scottish sunset for your Sunday evening.

Took the long way around Loch Linnhe today to get to the Fort (all the Corran ferries are broken). Really pretty, as long as you’re not in a hurry or you work on the other side.
