Probably not the best day for a leisurely stroll up top today.
Snow topped mountain.

Fettercairn Distillery, a pretty distillery in a magnificent setting close to the foothills of the Cairngorms in southern Aberdeenshire. It started business here in a converted cornmill in 1824. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

You can’t ask a dead man who pulled the trigger. ‘A Tangled Web’ is a fast-paced new thriller set in northern Scotland. The fictional Culkein Drumbeg Castle in Assynt has an important role in the story.
Available as a Kindle, Kobo or Apple. Find out more:

The image shows a view of a small tidal island with the tide largely in, cutting it off from the land in the foreground which has the base of a concrete structure on it. There is more land in the background. Occupying much of the land area of the island is a grey stone castle which has a surrounding wall with ruined gables extending above it. The sky is blue. The image is heavily edited, with a castle from elsewhere in Scotland placed in the location seen here. The front cover of ‘A Tangled Web’ is shown in the top right corner.

The 1st day of 2026 has seen an abrupt change to something more visibly wintry 😀 Light snow on and & off all day. Just 5cm but certainly looking the part 👍 Hopefully the Amber warning lives up to its reputation this time 😉🤞

Anyway, a very Happy New Year to all of you. See you out there! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🗻🌲❄️🦌🥃🥾🚲🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

On the spur of the moment, I decided this morning to head up to Loch Lomond for New Year's Day dip, and to take a picture of the Milarrochy Bay Oak, one of Scotland's most photographed trees.

2026 has started with gales, rain, sleet, snow and sunshine. All at the same time (of course).

Culross Palace, Kingdom of Fife - Outlander filming location

#scotland #beautifuldestinations #Outlander #travel
Aerial view of Culross Palace in Fife, a courtyard of bright mustard‑yellow harled buildings with steep red‑tiled roofs, surrounded by narrow cobbled lanes and white cottages. The main palace block stands on the right, three storeys high with small gabled dormer windows and dark doors at ground level. In the centre is a paved courtyard path forming a loop through small grass lawns and planting beds, where a few visitors walk or sit on benches. To the upper edge of the scene terraced gardens climb the hillside behind stone walls, with vegetable plots, hedges and trees giving a layered, historic village atmosphere.

Alexander 'Greek' Thomson's Buck's Head buildings of 1863 on Argyle Street, Glasgow. It's good to see that the letters on the front of the building have been reinstated.

‘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 the military port at Cairnryan.
Available as a paperback, Kindle, Kobo or Apple. Find out more:

Loch Ryan lighthouse. During the war this was the focal point of the huge military port built at Cairnryan in case traditional ports on the Clyde or Mersey were destroyed by enemy bombing. This modern image shows a view along a rocky shoreline that comes in from the bottom right and extends across the bottom of the frame. There are two derelict concrete structures in the bottom middle. Above them is a short white lighthouse with beige trim and black top surrounded by a white wall. On the right is a length of fence with a ‘keep out’ sign and a brick building beyond it. In the distance there is more water and then the land rises to a low ridge with a field and trees. The scene is in sunlight. The front cover of ‘Friend or Foe?’ is shown in the top left corner.
