I visited Lewis and Harris in the summer and was blown away by the rugged beauty of the landscape. Here's a large acrylic painting I've nearly finished of a view across a loch on Great Bernera with the haar (sea fog) rolling in.

Visiting Nairn, where I spent most of my childhood. You can always count on the Moray Firth and the Black Isle to provide a spectacular show.

A snowy start to the day brings with it an opportunity to start reading a book by Brian Clegg about James Clerk Maxwell. It's good so far.

Where better to have a spot of lunch than in your own boat?

Finally took Firefly out on some open water at Loch Ken last weekend.

We stopped off at Parton on the way back from a weekend's canoeing at Loch Ken to visit the grave of a great Scottish physicist. @seanmcarroll.bsky.social I thought you might like to see where the man behind Maxwell's Equations rests.

New Year's Day paddle.

She's finished!

Fitted the seats tonight. Just a few plugs and one more coat of varnish on the hull exterior to do and it's ready to go.

It's not easy trying to varnish a canoe in the autumn in Scotland.
