A brief history of the Earth on a walk around the Isle of Arran, Scotland
A six-day hike on Arran – a new Unesco Geopark – reveals tales of dinosaurs, tectonic plate collisions and lightning strikes from millions of years ago
www.theguardian.com
I recently walked the Arran Coastal Way – around Scotland's newest UNESCO Geopark for @theguardian.com. The island route is a journey through 600 million years of history, from tectonic plate collisions and stretching oceans to pre-dinosaur footprints and fossilised lightning strikes 🏴

Tynecastle has been a rare treat this season!
The dream start continues. The angry guy who sits behind me and hates short corners is beginning to concede that we may, in fact, be quite good this year.

"There are stone bunkers shrouded in the mist on the hillside to my right, just shy of the ridgeline marking the Albanian-Kosovo border. To my left, the view is not just clear but startlingly beautiful." From my hike on the Via Dinarica Kosovo, with the mountaineer Uta Ibrahimi.

I spent a week in #Kosovo hiking with Uta Ibrahimi, who recently became the first woman from the Balkans to climb every 8,000m peak. We walked the Via Dinarica Kosovo, criss-crossing borders with Montenegro & Albania.

I took a voyage along the 26 bus route, down to Portobello, for my latest piece for @theguardian.com.
👉 on why people can’t stay away from Porty, and a community fighting to stop a (now-but-not-always) trendy seaside town from becoming a “holiday let”.
In the Saturday pull-out today ⛱️🏴

can't make it on BBC Sco this morning to talk tourist tax unfortunately, but my view is that they're commonplace now for good reason - not a fix-all solution but one extremely effective way to ensure local communities benefit from tourism, preventing overtourism & ill will to tourists

so they say they can't schedule women's matches in the night session at #RolandGarros because fans won't get enough tennis, yet 5/6 of the women's matches in the past 2 days were longer than the 1hr 32 mins it took Alcaraz to beat Paul. Hmmm....
