European Pine martens are a species I have long since wanted to photograph especially in their habitat however it did take a trip to the Scottish Highlands to fulfil my goal, up at 5 am each morning my patience paid off and over four days many images were taken. Feeling very privileged and also delighted at being able to see these creatures in their environment. Dave
Dean Village in Edinburgh is one of the oldest of the villages around the original Royal Burgh of Edinburgh. The village was referred to in 1535 as the "Miller's Village" and appears on the 1560 map of the Siege of Leith. In the Town Council Minutes of 1585 Water of Leith is used as the name of the village. The term 'Dean Village' initially referred to a small settlement at the top of Dean Path, north of the river, that formed part of the Dean estate (the area now occupied by the Dean Cemetery).
The first mention of the village is in King David I's founding charter of Holyrood Abbey, usually dated c.1145 (although the actual founding of the Abbey was in 1128), in which he granted one of his mills of Dean to the Abbey.
Scotland, the land of mysterious castles, magical lakes and forests, wild coastlines, is an invitation to travel. A country that loves culture, nature, animals - domestic and wild - and that offers the visitor a warm welcome.

The Ring of Brodgar, Stenness, Orkney, Scotland. A Neolithic henge and stone circle near Stromness.
Part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site that also contains Maes How and Scara Brae. Some 5,000 years old, it predates the Pyramids and the similar stone circles at Stonehenge and Avebury.
Sometimes spare of the minute decisions, work out well. We decided last minute to have a few days up in my Ancestral Scotland. St Abbs Lighthouse has been on my to do list for a long time. Hadn't quite bargained for the road leading to the lighthouse though. Been really nervous since my car accident a few years back and believe me the fear I overcame to get there was repaid with this stunning sunrise.
Don't forget that maybe.............
you are the lighthouse in someones storm.
Thanks Calum for your help and inspiration :)
Stirling Castle is one of the largest and most historically and architecturally important castles in Scotland. The castle sits atop an intrusive crag, which forms part of the Stirling Sill geological formation. It is surrounded on three sides by steep cliffs, giving it a strong defensive position. Its strategic location, guarding what was, until the 1890s, the farthest downstream crossing of the River Forth, has made it an important fortification in the region from the earliest times.
There have been at least eight sieges of Stirling Castle, including several during the Wars of Scottish Independence, with the last being in 1746, when Bonnie Prince Charlie unsuccessfully tried to take the castle.
Stirling Castle is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, and is now a tourist attraction managed by Historic Environment Scotland.
