More #seaweed from holiday. Gutweed (Ulva intestinalis) is green #alga (plant) often dominating upper-shore #rockpools. Looks a mess out of water, but underwater it's otherworldly: jungle of thin, intestinal tubes, bubbling with oxygen by-product of photosynthesis. Near Morar and on Eigg, Scotland.

Rum from Eigg 2018. The last holiday before my lungs kicked off, when I was running the most I ever had. This was taken on my long run, on a gloriously sunny morning, not long before I got lost amongst a field of cattle.

Another lovely geology day in the Hebrides. An Sgùrr on Eigg is magic combination of a highly satisfying walk, amazing scenery and a cracking geological detective story (complete with smoking gun).

Creative nonfiction piece about a wonderful naturalist on the Isle of Eigg ⛰️ Written by Iona Macduff, Tyndall member and Leverhulme Trust Doctoral Scholar on the Critical Decade for Climate Change programme at UEA
Every time I tried to write about Eigg, I wrote about John the Bird. This piece gets at why: what one person can do if they truly know and love a place. You can read it in Paperboats Zine Issue 5, paperboats.org/2025/04/09/t... along with some other beautiful pieces 🌍💚 @paperboatswriters.bsky.social
