It has been a dreich winter, and seeing blue skies & fluffy clouds this week has been a treat but now my phone is full of cloud photos because they were just too splendid not to snap. Case in point

A photo of a blue sky with a large white fluffy cloud, dark trees below, and a bird flying above. The cloud has a hollow on the left hand side, to which I had added flat teeth so it forms an open mouth, and have added eyes above. It is gazing at the bird flying by. It looks happy. Whether it is excited to see the bird, or excited at the prospect of eating the bird, we do not know (although they are not the teeth of a predator, so I suspect the former).

'Gallus Glasgow'

Wonderful old map of Glasgow from the 1860s with interactive data layers on old and new buildings.

Love to see how the city developed over the last 150 years.

Greenlaw Town Hall, in the heart of Greenlaw in the Scottish Borders. Built between 1829 and 1831, it has been beautifully restored after years of dereliction. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/greenlaw/greenlaw/index.html

Greenlaw Town Hall. The image shows a grand but diminutive stone building from a corner angle. The frontage faces to our left. It has single-storey wings either side of a central section that has columns and is topped off by a dome. The sky is blue.

A photograph of the Isle of Skye coastline in the Inner Hebrides, Scotland, taken in monochrome with a long exposure. Jagged coastal rocks emerge from the smooth, mist-like surface of the sea, their rough texture contrasting with the water’s softened appearance. In the distance, mountains rise faintly, their peaks partially obscured by low-hanging clouds, adding depth to the scene.

Any recommendations for #potters in #Scotland? I need a new really big, durable, quirky mug. Or two. My attempt at wabi-sabi on the ancient mug has failed

@MadeyeTheCarnaptious Never… it’s being used as a tool to keep the #SNP and #independence for #Scotland off the radar. The fight must regain its energy and continue. I don’t believe they have any evidence, and it’s surely cost much more in police and legal time than any ‘findings’ they ever make.

Airborne pollution settled on a window frame, #London.

Even with the benefit of Ultra-Low Emission Zones, the air still carries a significant load of... what? It certainly doesn't look very appealing.

It just makes me even more grateful that I have the good fortune to live on the west coast of #Scotland.

A close-up view of a window frame, seen through secondary glazing. The white paint on the upper surface is almost completely concealed under a thick layer of gritty grey dust.
In the background, a red London bus is passing.

Looking south from Flodigarry on the Isle of Skye's Trotternish Peninsula towards Staffin Bay and Staffin Island. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/skye/trotternish/index.html

Looking south from Flodigarry on the Isle of Skye's Trotternish Peninsula. The image shows a view down a rough grassy slope towards a shoreline that stretches from bottom left to middle right. There are some white houses scattered behind the shore and in the distance a headland with grassy cliffs extends from right to left, with a low-lying island off its tip.

Another #throwback to another plushie I made two years ago with this little Nessie!
I’m really proud of this design with its nice mossy green, simple embroidery and red highlights. It was adopted instantly!

A handmade plushie held in front of a white wall. The plushie is of a little Loch Ness monster with a mossy green back and flippers. The underside of its flippers and belly are a pale green belly. Spots and stitches are embroidered along the edges of each colour.
Darker green spikes run along its back and wooden buttons with red edges are sewn onto the top of its flippers.
It is wearing a red tartan scarf and has round white eyes.

Auf dem Weg in das Nichts. On the way to nowhere. #FootPathFriday #Schottland #Scotland #Highlands #Assynt

Ein kleiner steiniger Pfad führt ins neblige Nichts. Rechts und links typische Pflanze aus den Highlands, Gräser, Farne und im Vordergrund ein lilafarbener Heidebusch. Steine, Felsen und Geröll an den Hügeln. Die Stimmung ist "moody".

A small stony path leads into the misty void. Typical Highland plants to the right and left, grasses, ferns and a purple heather bush in the foreground. Stones, rocks and boulders on the hillsides. The atmosphere is ‘moody’.

Hare Raising

Scampering along, springing over the heather.

A photo of a mountain hare springing over the heather, as it scampers down a hillside.

I've been away on a pretty successful research trip this week: functional public transport, very much walking, my camera lost and found [again]. This was the glorious, lumpy ridgeline to Beinn Narnain from A' Chrois, after a long ascent.

Ri Cruin Cairn, all that remains of a structure built some 4,000 years ago as the burial for a single individual and one of the large number of ancient monuments in Kilmartin Glen, north of Lochgilphead in Argyll. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/kilmartin/ricruincairn/index.html

Ri Cruin Cairn. The image shows a woodland clearing with the trees surrounding it partly in spring leaf. The clearing is largely covered by an extensive but low pile of large stones, which seems to curve round from bottom middle to mid right of the frame in a horseshoe. The scene is in sunshine.

Important new report published today from the University of St Andrews: "The University of St Andrews and the Legacies of Empire, 1700-1900" - looks like a really thorough and well researched piece of vital work. Thanks to the researchers. https://zenodo.org/records/14975043 #slavery #slaveTrade #blackHistory #History #ScottishHistory #colonialism #StAndrewsUniversity #StAndrews #Fife #Scotland

ZenodoThe University of St Andrews and the Legacies of Empire, 1700-1900This report is the result of a research project commissioned by the Principal of the University of St Andrews. We aimed to investigate the legacies that colonialism, empire, trade and slavery have left to the University of St Andrews, both as institution and as a community of students and staff. As well as monies received, we investigated the personal or family connections of members of the University community. We sought to explore how members of our (historical) community had contributed to debates about enslavement and race, or about colonialism and empire; and to discover how British colonialism shaped the culture and community of our University. We focused on the period 1700 to 1900. Contents: Introduction The university, the town and the local economy Where did the university's money come from?

Another photo from my trip out of Glasgow last weekend, this time from the slopes of Ben Lawers. Scottish mountains in the spring sunshine are really up there with almost anywhere in the world, and you can reach the closest of them within an hour's drive from the city.

Looking down a rocky path leading along a ridge towards the peak of a distant mountain.
