Rogie Falls on the Black Water near Contin for #WaterfallWednesday
Being on one of the two main routes to #Inverness from home in #Skye we are very lucky to be able to "pop in" now and then when passing. The suspension footbridge across the water makes for superb views, but only if you don't mind the swaying and wobbling as you cross 🙂
A series of footpaths wind through the forest, the dog approves...

Statue commemorating the Highland drovers at Dingwall.
This sculpture is one of my favourites. Today it was looking particularly stunning as it was caught in the light of the low, early morning winter sun.
You can read more about the sculpture and find out more about the Highland drovers at:

What an absolutely glorious morning walking from Dingwall this morning. Cold, with lots of ice and snow but a clear sky with a golden winter sun climbing over the Black Isle.
I was delighted to have caught the sunlight on the river Conon/Cromarty Firth in the middle of the photo.

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.

Fyrish, #RossShire, #Scotland. Good walk up here today. The monument was built in 1782 on the orders of Sir Hector Munro of Novar and is modelled on the gate of Negapatam, India.
Been lying low over the festive period. We’ve both been unwell. Back today with a random photo of Blackwater, Strathgarve.

Best wishes for a happy and healthy Christmas to the #Genealogy @genealogy community and new Mastodon contacts (photo taken about two years ago from the old railway line near Muir of Ord #RossShire no snow at low level currently)
Slightly icy walk #RossShire walk from Evanton to Kiltearn old church today, partly along the river Sgitheach which still had ice by the banks. Love the blue-ish light of late afternoon (15.40) looking across to the #BlackIsle #Scotland

Morning fog over Conon Bridge
A late photo today. It was taken on my dog walk this morning. It wasn't until I was looking at it before posting that I realised that some of the trees round this field and the lower field still have their leaves.
This is one of the entrances to the stubble field I've been sharing in previous weeks. Sadly, it has now been poughed, so back to the woodland walks for us.

@BylinesScotland I know you mentioned this was something you ran from FB and Twitter, but please don't forget Dr Elizabeth Ross from Tain, Ross-Shire.
She graduated in medicine, from Glasgow uni in 1901.
After working as a local GP, she left for Iran in 1907.
She died in 1917 in Serbia, of typhus, where she was working as a doctor.
For more information, please see:

Ross and Cromarty Council used a SNOGO snow blower during the 1950s

What a fantastic morning. After all the fog and rain of the last week its lovely to see Conon Bridge and the Black Isle in all their glory. And yes, our dog managed to photobomb the picture.
Taken from Brahan estate.

I've just realised I can include more than one photo at a time 🤦♀️ .
More photos from our #dog #walk this morning. These are looking from #Brahan across to the #Cromarty #Firth and the #Black #Isle. And the other photo is a wee bit of mist above #CononBridge
