Up near Plockton, passing Loch Carron I spotted the hillside opposite glowing as the warm light of the evening sun cut through a gap in the clouds.
I quickly dashed down a field to get a few shots, of which this was the best one.
The sunset never did light up the sky as I'd hoped, it just fizzled out, but at least I had a few shots in the bag 🙂
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 🙁🐇
Today (May 10) is Goto Day, which was set up to promote tourism to Goto Islands in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan.
In Japanese, 5 is pronounced "go" (ご) while 10 is pronounced "tou" (とう), therefore May 10 (5/10) is Goto Day. Many Japanese anniversaries are often just random wordplays 😁
This is the oldest of the lighthouses in the Bahamas, built in 1817. It is built of brick and stands 68 ft tall. This view is from the cruise ship once in the Nassau Port, Prince George Wharf, looking back toward the open sea.
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 🙂
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.
On this day in history. Mary Queen of Scots escaped from imprisonment in Lochleven Castle, on its island in Loch Leven, 455 years ago today on 2 May 1568. She would subsequently make an unsuccessful attempt to regain power in Scotland. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/kinross/lochlevencastle/index.html
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.
