Blà Bheinn, one of the most magnificent mountains in Britain; a great isolated citadel of rock with fabulous views and all the character of the main Cuillin Ridge.

Just beyond the golden sands of Earlsferry Beach, the coastline of the Kingdom of Fife reveals its wilder self — rocky shelves, sloping cliffs, and an ever-changing dance of tide and texture. This rugged fringe, shaped over millennia by glacial retreat and North Sea force, offers a quieter, more dramatic counterpoint to the open beach.
On a clear day, the view across the Firth of Forth stretches to East Lothian and beyond, a reminder of Scotland’s deeply etched coastal legacy.

Un peu plus loin que les plages dorées d’Earlsferry, la côte du royaume de Fife dévoile son visage le plus sauvage — corniches rocheuses, falaises inclinées et marées ondoyantes en perpétuelle mutation. Cette frange accidentée, sculptée par les glaciers et l’assaut de la mer du Nord, offre un contraste saisissant avec la plage paisible.
Par temps clair, la vue s’étend jusqu’à l’East Lothian et au-delà — une invitation à contempler l’héritage côtier profondément gravé de l’Écosse.
És un arc marí natural prop de Portknockie, a la costa nord-est d'Escòcia. Es diu així perquè s'assembla a la punta d'un arc de violí. Està compost per quarsita, una roca metamòrfica que originàriament era arenisca de quars.

Bridge to nowhere.
Every single step takes you somewhere you choose the path.
Sometimes in life our plans simply don't fall into place our hopes and expectations are simply shredded and thrown to the wind. Yet so often despite this we find ourselves having our eyes opened and reminded that life is not about following a set plan or working to a prefixed notion of what works or is expected of us. This image is a prime example of life. I was expecting a good aurora display turned up as darkness fell and hung about all night long looking to the sky. It never appeared my hopes dashed my expectations never materialised. But then as the first light of dawn appeared my eyes widened for I was rewarded with a sunrise that took my breath away, put a smile on my face and reminded me that it is life itself that is precious every second every moment shared and every single step we take. Keep safe keep well and most importantly keep on being you.

Blà Bheinn mountain, Isle of Skye, Scotland. Getting up there for sunrise and sunset was not easy. Rain had made the path extremely slippery and there were few moments of thinking about giving up. But luckily we made it through and the weather improved by morning. And what a privilege to witness moments like this at a World Class location. Truly a photographer's paradise.

Little Glen Shee
Established more than two centuries past as one of Scotland's first tourist routes, the charms, secrets, lively characters and stunning landscapes have been little known, slumbering in the half light of history. The area brims with characters, from centuries past to the present day residents. Their combined vitality and creative talents keep this area very much alive.
Swashbubonnieprinceckling legends such as Rob Roy and Bonnie Prince Charlie passed through here. The road building colossus General George Wade constructed his many miles of Military routes here. Poet William Wordsworth penned an ode to 'The Lonely Inn' at Amulree.
An artist who relished this quiet area was Pre Raphaelite painter Sir John Everrett Millais. He loved painting away his summer holidays over 20 years, renting Rumbling Bridge cottage, which became a hotbed of scandal as he eloped with Ruskin's wife, Perth born Effie Gray. The cottage still stands, as do the scenes of his painting. Later, European Royalty fanned out over the moors from a nearby turreted shooting lodge.
nielgowMusical legends lived and loved here, such as famous fiddle player Niel Gow; while legendary modern musicians such as Pete Clark keep his genius alive. Beatrix Potter's inspiration figure for Mrs Tiggywinkle spent her early childhood on a remote farm here.
This is fungi foraging country; hares race across the fields, ospreys, red kites and buzzards fly overhead. The very tallest of 'Big Trees' grow here, from the highest Douglas Fir at the Hermitage to an impressive half mile avenue of ancient oaks.
Walks span well marked riverside routes, and little known tracks.
This is a magical place, full of happy secrets which we willingly share. Explore our hidden places such as one of the highest hill passes in Scotland, the mystical deserted fairy village in Ballinloan, the Hermitage Routes, drove roads, heritage paths, Wade Roads, wild swimming and quad biking.

LOGIE-BUCHAN, a parish, in the district of Ellon, county of Aberdeen, 2 miles (E. by S.) from Ellon; containing 713 inhabitants.
The word Logie, expressive of a low-lying spot, was given to this place on account of its applicability to the tract in which the church is situated; while the affix is descriptive of the position of the parish in that part of the county called Buchan.
Logie-Buchan Parish Church is located on the southern slope of the River Ythan valley, in gently rolling countryside with small fields, rough grazing and enclosures of trees. There is a narrow trackway and footbridge across the river a short distance to the north. The church stands in a sloping graveyard, bounded by a rubble wall. The large former manse is positioned to the south and the church itself closed recently and a new use had not been found when it was visited (2012).
A church here was granted to Aberdeen Cathedral by David II in 1361, while the current church was built in the late 18th century with later additions and alterations.
Description (exterior)
The church is a small, simple building with little architectural detailing. It is aligned roughly east-west and has harled, rubble walls and a slate roof. There are narrow strips of granite stone around the windows and doors. The church is rectangular on plan, with a small, gabled porch and a lean-to vestry at the west end.
The east elevation has a hipped or piended roof rather than a gable. There are two rectangular windows with simple timber tracery and small panes of leaded glass. There has clearly been alterations carried out at this end of the church, shown by two blocked openings, a doorway and window, in the centre of the east elevation.
The north elevation of the church has four equally-spaced rectangular windows, each with simple tracery and latticed glazing. The opposite south elevation has two larger rectangular windows, towards the centre, again with tracery and latticed glazing.
The west end of the church has a small, gabled porch with a rectangular doorway on the south side, which is the main entrance into the church. There is a rectangular window in the west gable of this porch and a tall chimney rises from the apex, serving a fireplace in the small lean-to vestry extension to the north of the porch. The church has a tall gable at the west end, topped by an ashlar-built bellcote, which has a stone ball finial.
Description (interior)
Some of the fittings remain in the church but are likely to be removed if and when a new use is found for the church, which is no longer in use.

Logie-Buchan is separated on the east from the German Ocean by the parish of Slains, and is intersected by the river Ythan.
The river abounds with various kinds of trout, also with salmon, eels, lounders, and mussels; and pearls are still occasionally found.
It has a ferry opposite the parish church, where its breadth at low water is about sixty yards; and two boats are kept, one for general passengers, and the other, a larger boat, for the conveyance of the parishioners to church from the northern side.
A tradition has long prevailed that the largest pearl in the crown of Scotland was obtained in the Ythan; and it appears that, about the middle of the last century, £100 were paid by a London jeweller to gentleman in Aberdeen, for pearls found in the river.
Most of the inhabitants of the district are employed in agricultural pursuits, a small brick-work recently established being the only exception.
The great north road from Aberdeen passes through the parish, and the mail and other public coaches travel to and fro daily. On another road, leading to the shipping-port of Newburgh, the tenantry have a considerable traffic in grain, lime, and coal, the last procured from England, and being the chief fuel.
The river Ythan is navigable for lighters often or twelve tons' burthen at high water. The marketable produce of the parish is sent to Aberdeen. Logie- Buchan is ecclesiastically in the presbytery of Ellon, synod of Aberdeen, and in the patronage of Mr. Buchan.
The church was built in 1787, and contains 400 sittings.

The church of Logie-Buchan was dedicated to St Andrew.
St Andrew's Church was built in 1787 and has been much altered. It contains a 1728 bell.
Logie-Buchan (Aberdeen, Buchan). Also known as Logie Talargy, the church was granted by David II in 1361 to the common fund of the canons of Aberdeen cathedral, and this was confirmed to the uses of the canons by Alexander, bishop of Aberdeen in 1362, both parsonage and vicarage fruits being annexed while the cure was to become a vicarage pensionary.
Although possession was obtained by the dean and chapter, this was subsequently lost, and the church had to be re-annexed in 1437, the previous arrangement being adhered to, with both parsonage and vicarage remaining annexed.
St Andrew's Kirk, 1787. Undistinguished externally, porch 1891, inside original ceiling with Adam-like centrepiece and two-light Gothic windows, part of 1912 recasting, William Buxton. Pulpit was originally in the centre of the N wall with a horseshoe gallery bearing the Buchan coat of arms (George Reid, Peterhead, carver). Monuments to Thomas (d. 1819) and Robert (d. 1825) Buchan.
Bell, 1728, Robert Maxwell. Church bought by Captain David Buchan to ensure access and survival.
Kirkyard: plain ashlar gatepiers and rubble walls; some table tombs.
Lucky : yes we have been ! A beautiful weather for one day followed by a snowy night, and the landscape is totally changed by the next morning. That's the magic trick of Scotland and the Isle of Skye.
Like usual, a feast for our eyes.

Loch Coruisk and The Black Cuillin mountains. Now I know why so many Scottish artists consider this place as possibly the most beautiful view in Scotland. I just wish the thick clouds would have stepped away for just a moment to reveal the beautiful top of the Black Cuillin Mountain range. Next time 😁.
