Genuinely fascinating set of photos from Glen Feshie today showing the various avalanches set off by collapsing cornices during the thaw. Clearly not an isolated case judging by a lack of trees in the chutes. Lovely fanning as well. 📷 Paul Phillips tinyurl.com/33kzj25h

Interesting... I wasn't sure if Inverness would be included in the consultation area.

@theiaincameron Fingers crossed they learn from this (and pass on that learning to people they know) and can have some awesome adventures in the mountains in the future

@theiaincameron See also "they should close off the mountains during winter". It must be frustrating to head out for the really avoidable incidents, but surely preferable to a recovery mission because someone was worried about a bill

I have come to the inescapable conclusion that most people commenting on rescues like this haven’t got the first clue what they’re talking about. “Bill them for the rescue” is by far the most common. Here are three reasons why this comment is idiotic. 1/4

@BlackIslePMD Celtic/rangers players in Scotland team?

If you can guess what this represents I'll be very impressed. As a starting clue, value 1 corresponds to a date in late March 1980 and value 294 corresponds to a date earlier this month.

Love it, need to brush up on my clothing for my bike rides. I've been planning a cross-cairngorm ride through a different glen. Don't think I'll have as much style as Jim but my bike is probably more likely to survive!

If you want to dress well this fall, imagine yourself as Big Jim Collie, a Scottish crofter in the 1970s who lived alone in a bothy and rode a rickety old bicycle through the Lairig Ghru, the highest mountain pass in the highest mountain range in Britain.

Dishwasher loading... Everyone has their preferences, each to their own, good natures banter, etc. However. This is getting close to being a war crime.

It's been enlightening seeing Jim pull this together over the months. A reminder that real journalism takes persistence and time. And money. Worth it for readers, I hope.

Superb. 👏🏼

Dunfermline Athletic@officialdafc

#DAFC is delighted to reveal our third kit for season 2025/26. The Pars, to this day, run out to 'Into The Valley' by the Skids, and our third kit pays the ultimate homage to one of the greatest bands to come out of Dunfermline. ℹ️ tinyurl.com/292f3afc

@DavidsonMagnus You're forgetting the Beauly-Denny power line effect, destroying the tourism draw of the Highlands 😉 (Just imagine the campervan numbers if that hadn't gone up!)

Magnus Davidson@DavidsonMagnus·8 Ağu

Maybe they should have just nuked the place in the 50’s so that we didn’t have to contend with this number of tourists.

@martin_gillie @BlackIslePMD @dfgillie That's them all used up now! Thanks again

@martin_gillie @BlackIslePMD @dfgillie There were a few stragglers that had been taken by birds but looked like most survived!

Peter MacDonald@BlackIslePMD·19 Tem

If you were out and about, and saw wild cherries on a tree, would you pick some and eat them? If not why not? I'm often surprised that most cherry trees I come across in Inverness have a good amount of ripe cherries at easy reach and nobody else seems to be enjoying them?

@martin_gillie @BlackIslePMD @dfgillie Done! Tub of gooseberries swapped for a tub of cherry plums! Thank you, and enjoy!

Martin Gillie@martin_gillie·19 Tem

@AndyH_Engineer @BlackIslePMD @dfgillie That would be great, thanks. Will have gooseberries available!

Andy Hall@AndyH_Engineer·19 Tem

@martin_gillie @BlackIslePMD @dfgillie Should have been more specific.... That was for @martin_gillie @dfgillie Peter, maybe if it's dry and I'm feeling very energetic!

English

Andy Hall@AndyH_Engineer·19 Tem

@martin_gillie @BlackIslePMD @dfgillie I should be able to drop some off by bike tomorrow morning if that suits (if you're out I can leave them at the door)

Andy Hall@AndyH_Engineer·19 Tem

@BlackIslePMD @martin_gillie @dfgillie A foraging duel? I've had 3 types of foraged fruit today (rasps while I was on a bike ride in addition to blaeberry and cherry plums), can you beat that?
