A wander up Glen Quharity on a Sumday morning. What an office for the SSE workers...

There are plenty of photos of the Old Man of Storr but fewer from it as the paths around it can be a bit of a scramble. The surrounding area, including 'The Sanctuary' behind it (as usually viewed) is also well worth exploring.
A unique and often bizarre landscape.
This was taken from the path that runs up and around the Old Man and behind 'The Cathedral'.
Yes, the names are all wonderful 🙂

A view of the Kings Knot, in Stirling, as viewed from 'The Back Walk' that follows the old city walls just below Stirling Castle 🏰
Details here;

It is both a fine place to explore at ground level with a dog 🐕 and good to view from above with excellent views of the surrounding area... after a short but steep climb back up ☺️

Another photo from my trip up into the Arrochar Alps on Sunday. The main peaks you can see (left to right) are Beinn Narnain (926m) The Cobbler (884m), and The Brack (787m) as seen from Beinn Luibhean (860m).

A misty and overcast day heading over to explore the mainland. First stop this morning was the always excellent Midge Bite Cafe in #Achnasheen. Coffee and cakes for the journey.
On the left the #A832 winds towards #Dingwall and #Inverness, on the right, the #Kyle of Lochalsh railway line mirrors the road and makes a similar journey through the #Highlands

For #SilentSunday a calm bay and a bright blue sky, taken from Corry looking back over the village of #Broadford, #IsleofSkye

Dolphin watching at Chanonry Point 🙂🐬
...doubtless those around here with bigger cameras and longer lenses will have better photos but the fact this is handheld from the phone suggests how close they came around the headland. Perfect timing after the walk down the beach from Rosemarkie

Posting this as it’s still my most liked shot on... err... another platform. Took this up at Mar Lodge Estate in August 2021.

Another fine place for a gentle weekend walk, the impressive 5 metre-high Duirinish standing stone overlooking Dunvegan... It's not as old as it may seem. Well, the rock itself is 🙂... But it's not been in place as long as long as you might imagine.
More details, and how to find it, here via @walkhighlands 🏔️

One of the Fairy Pools for #WaterfallWednesday 🙂 The view that you can often find on postcards and calendars, but with more typical weather... 🙂

Continuing to organise photos from last year. This is a somewhat unusual view from the Storr, a little above the beaten path. Looks to me like the spine of some ancient mythical creature diving under the landscape 🙂

One from last week, this time looking North from An Aird along the sound of Raasay.
Raasay itself on the right, Ben Tianavaig on the left showing the curved cliff side footpath on the South face which makes for a nice walk to the summit. Behind that The Storr is capped with snow. You can sort-of make out the famous Old Man of Storr but it's much easier to spot from the land side, when backed by the sky, than from the sea side ....backed by more rock🙂

A final one for #waterfallwednesday from Sligachan today 🙂Although the #fairypools get lots of attention from visitors the (usually) much quieter pools away to the North-East at Allt Dearg Mor are equally impressive with crystal clear water and the backdrop of the Cuillins.
Photos from somewhere else next time... 🙂

Winter hillwalking in Scotland, when the top of the mountain is often higher than the midday Sun!

Looking north today towards Ben Lomond and the Arrochar Alps from the Queen's View, just outside Glasgow.
Despite the heavy frost in Glasgow itself, the mountains remain surprisingly snow-free.

The well of positivity can run dry… when it gets near to empty…. I make a conscious effort to top it up… or try to.

There’s something both wild and peaceful about Scottish landscapes.
This one is just a few miles from Edinburgh but has that feeling of remoteness and peace nonetheless.
