Tantallon Castle was built in the mid 14th century by William Douglas, 1st Earl of Douglas. It was besieged by King James IV in 1491, and again by his successor James V in 1527 when extensive damage was done and again during Oliver Cromwell's invasion of Scotland in 1651. It has reminded a ruin ever since.
The sun finally attempts to show it's face on another rainy day up in the mountains, east of Glencoe.
As the rain makes its way down the mountains it forms waterfalls and rivers as I watched.
Spring bunnies are a delight, so cute and so many of them this year, great to see their numbers going up at least.
Did you know there are estimated to be fewer than 700,000 wild rabbits left in Scotland due to the recent RHDV outbreak 🙁🐇
I'm wondering if you have any #thoughts on the "#Web#Environment#Integrity" proposal by some #Google folks. I wrote a short thread about it, but would be interested in hearing your thoughts before reading it (if you do read it - I'm not demanding it 😀 ).
The valleys and wee glens on the approach to Glen Coe have always been my favourite, without hiking for miles you can get that wonderful 'at one' feeling with nature, so powerful, peaceful and beautiful.
Elgin Cathedral
One of Scotland’s most beautiful but troubled medieval buildings, dating back to 1224.
The 13th-century west front is acknowledged as being one of the grandest architectural achievements in Scotland.
Unfortunately, the 800-year-old cathedral didn’t last beyond a few hundred years and by the end of the 16th century reformation it had been left to fall into ruin.
A pair of beautiful Jays suddenly appeared in the garden last week, I've never seen one before and I'm pretty sure they're not too common this far north.
Fabulous colours and an interesting head feather patterning they have.
So pleased I managed to spot one and had time to grab the camera 🙂

Je ressors le #1jour1kif pour les écluses, les canaux et les maisons éclusières
Déambuler sur les chemins de halage, regarder les manœuvres des portes, les bateaux glisser sans bruit #lock#passioncanal
