The Art Deco brilliance of the former Beresford Hotel on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow looking at its best in today's sunshine. Built in 1937, it was designed by William Beresford Inglis, who later went on to manage and own it.

The busy harbour at Tarbert in Argyll, built on the narrow strip of land where two lochs nearly meet: a strip of land that is all that prevents Kintyre from becoming an island. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

‘Friend or Foe?’ is a fast-paced new thriller set largely in south-west Scotland during World War Two. The hunt for a spy leads the book’s central characters to Lochryan House in Cairnryan.
Available as a paperback, Kindle, Kobo or Apple. Find out more:
www.kenlussey.com/fof/index.html
This modern image shows Lochryan House in Cairnryan. A pair of gateposts topped off by stone balls dominate the centre of the frame, with lower walls either side of them. Between the gateposts, a drive leads from the foot of the frame into its centre, where part of a three-storey white mansion can be seen, topped off by crenellations. There are trees and bushes either side of the drive and beyond the mansion a wooded hillside leads out of the top of the frame. The scene is in sunlight. The front cover of ‘Friend or Foe?’ is shown in the bottom right corner.

Sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa), Perthshire. Approx 8.9m in girth (at 1.5m) and swallowing an old stone dyke. Seems to be in remarkably good health. A proper #ThickTrunkTuesday find!

The tree is leafless so the twisted branches are clear to see. Some limbs have dropped from the tree and there is scarring on the bark.

Castlebay seen from the boat that takes visitors to Kisimul Castle. The image shows the stern of a small boat in the foreground, heading away from land on which there is a village, with a church standing on the hillside behind. The scene is in sunshine.

With the Winter Olympics underway, curling is one again getting mainstream media coverage. However, curling was once a much more popular sport and even in Glasgow outdoor curling rinks, like this one, were relatively common.

Cellardyke. The image shows a harbour with part of a pier in the foreground and on the right. Beyond the harbour and to the left is a village made up of white and stone houses, most with red tiles on their roofs. The scene is in sunlight.

How far would you go to right a wrong? ‘The House With 46 Chimneys’ is a spooky adventure story for younger readers involving a Scottish family mystery and the haunting of the ruined Dunmore Park, seen here.
Available as a paperback, Kindle, Kobo or Apple:
www.arachnid.scot/book-h46c/in...
The image shows a distant telephoto view of the ruins of Dunmore Park. They are partly obscured by trees, which are growing to the sides and on top of the ruined house. Large numbers of decorative chimneys and a few narrow turrets project from the upper part of the ruins. The front cover of ‘The House With 46 Chimneys’ is shown in the bottom right corner.

I don't think I'll ever tire of this view of the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in the West End of Glasgow, with the tip of the University tower just sneaking into the mix.

Being right next to the sea, we tend not to get really low temperatures. Unlike Achnasheen, which is roughly half way between the Atlantic and the North Sea, and can get; well... this cold:

Dun Troddan Broch, one of two unusually well-preserved Iron Age brochs that stand south-east of Glenelg in Lochaber. Like the other 500 or so brochs found mainly in the north and west of Scotland, it was built some 2,000 years ago. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

#Scotland #Glenelg
Dun Troddan Broch. The image shows the exterior of the broch, a rounded tower made of stone whose outer walls converge as they rise. The near and right-hand sides rise to impressive height, with the left side has much lower walls. The scene is in sunlight.

A nice example of Victorian threshold mosaic and branding at the entrance to the former Cooper and Co grocery store on Great Western Road in the Kelvinbridge area of Glasgow.

Kilchurn Castle, on a promontory - originally an island scarcely larger than the castle itself - at the north-east end of Loch Awe in Argyll. The earliest parts date back to 1450 and it was abandoned in 1760 after damage by lightning. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Kilchurn Castle. The image shows a ruined castle standing on a rocky outcrop on what seems to be an island, but isn't. We are looking back along a narrow wooden jetty and see a rounded tower on the left and a larger squarer tower on the right. There are some tents pitched on the shoreline on the left. The sky is blue.

How many deaths to end a war? ‘Eyes Turned Skywards’ is a thriller set mainly in northern Scotland during World War Two. Dunrobin Castle railway station has a background role in the story.

Dunrobin Castle Station. The image shows a corner view of a black and white half-timbered chalet style building with a sheltered area to its front, or our left. There is a tarmac-covered area in front of it and a grassy area to its sides and behind, and leafless trees in the background. A sign in the bottom right of the frame says Dunrobin Castle in white on black. The front cover of ‘Eyes Turned Skywards’ is shown in the top right corner.
