@murrayJamescoo1 👍 I did check, it seems Treeapp is a legitimate tree-planting platform. Certified B Corp, social enterprise that has planted over 6 million trees across more than 20 countries since its launch in 2020. Good recommendation

Just a quick post to recommend a great free service… watch an advert a day and these guys will plant a tree! Join me in planting trees for free on Treeapp: treeapp.onelink.me/VvUR/referralg…

@Grouse_Beater Yesterday in Glen Lonan Argyll Such a braw sight 😉

JIST SAYIN The Highland cow was bred specifically for a landscape that is undernourished for farming. It has a thick coat and long hair to withstand Scotland's horizontal rain, and wide hooves for bog and peat. It thrives on rough, heathery, acidic upland pasture that will kill an English dairy cow. Admire and respect Scotland's unique cattle breed. 🙂

@PaulSuttonKing @SallyRodg1958 Craigbarnet is only a few miles from me! The estate is between Strathblane and Clachan of Campsie. Part of the walled garden is still visible behind Craigbarnet Farm. Info on the family here strathblaneheritage.org/missing-men-ed…

I found this one yesterday, signed by one of the Stirling family. The house was demolished in 1951, but I suspect there might be an interesting story here. I love the address of The Wilderness! @SallyRodg1958

@pauljwillson Bet you never met a soul…we met some heilan coos on the way down😏 it’s a fab viewpoint

The Beinn Dhubh circular on Harris has been one to tick off for some time, the views up there are very much worth the effort, proving that sometimes the best views are very often around 500m

Here is the Kylesku Bridge, one of the many landmarks on #Scotland's North Coast 500. The curved concrete box girder bridge was designed by Ove Arup and built by Morrison and Lehane, Mackenzie & Shand. It was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth on 8th August 1984! #archives

@overlandertheb1 😂😂😂

@MorayClub Brompton is it?

Now terrified people will laugh at my tiny 29" front wheel.

Keeping the A939 Cockbridge to Tomintoul road open this year has been a challenge. Here’s what local farmers (who actually run the equipment) have had to contend with… 📷 cairngorms.co.uk/views/view-fae…

@ScottishBirder Wow wonderful 👍

A day with Crested Tit was a good day. Snow filled mountains and great scenery plus these guys.

Ben Lui as the sun rose this morning 🌅 we were headed to the top via Central Gully - wonderful day on the mountain ⛰️

The remains of one of four sailing schooners abandoned at the Newshot Island Boat Graveyard on the Clyde at Erskine after a fire at the Kingston Dock in Glasgow in 1914. #glasgow #newshotisland #glasgowhistory #ships #boats

From @TheAthletic: How are curling stones made, and why does only one company have the rights to make them? We explored the uninhabited Scottish island that makes one of the most interesting Olympic sports possible. nyti.ms/3ZyXF3h

Local Hero (1983) is one of those films that sneaks up on you. A corporate deal turns into a meditation on place, time, and the things you don’t realize you’re losing. Soft-spoken, deeply funny, and quietly profound.

07.02.2026 Clear summits while walking over Beinn nan Caorach and Beinn na h-Eaglaise above Corran. Cloud just touched the Knoydart summits. Terrific views up loch Hourn- wonderful! Pics need a click! #Corbetts #Scotland

06.02.2026 A cold but very clear day on Druim Fhada at Coran. This is a wee gem of a #Graham with expansive vistas to Skye, Knoydart and Kintail. Pics need a click! #Scotland #LochHorn
