Loch Shiel at Glenfinnan in the Western Scottish Highlands and another example of being in the right place at the right time to catch a burst of autumnal sunshine, highlighting the colours of the season. Sometimes, luck is on your side!
How many #Scottish#teachers have made the move from twitter/whatever-it’s-now-called over to Mastodon? It doesn’t feel as if there are very many of us here, but I’d be keen to see more accounts…
So our landlord has told us he plans to put our house on the market next spring/summer. It's been a great six years and I bloody love living in #fife but the hunt for the next house suitable for (now) three long term #disabled people begins.
If anyone knows of organisations in #scotland that can help our family find a house we can feel safe & settled in I'd really appreciate it. Boosts to escape my little bubble on here would also help. #housing#PrivateRent
Hey, Mastodon, I have a student who needs some #Scottish English speakers to do an online linguistics experiment. Can you help out? Boosts appreciated, or you can just click the link if you qualify!
Some old blackhouses in the Scottish Highlands weight their thatch down with stones. These ones made me think of those theme park rides where people dangle from a track.
That one in the front has just seen what's coming.
The finished garden feature. No mortar, every stone placed carefully by hand, unbeatable sustainability credentials, and guaranteed to last hundreds of years. What's not to like?
The niche is also a very unusual design. I've never seen a niche with a vertical stone backing and wanted to try to make one. It worked a treat, and our clients have something really unique.
I also love how the colours of the stone really come through after the rain.
Edinburgh (overlooking the Water of Leith) in autumn. Picture taken with an oldish phone from the top deck of the bus, sorry for the quality. I thought it looked like a painting. #scotland#landscape#photography#Edinburgh
Heading off for the evening, and leaving you with one of the most Scottish photos I have, to compensate for having had a bit of a moan and spread my annoyance around earlier.
Have the best of cows standing in front of our biggest mountain, with sun shining while the rain hammers down.
