The Corran ferry, which crosses Loch Linnhe south of Fort William and gives access to Morvern, Moidart and Ardnamurchan, waiting for customers at Nether Lochaber on the sort of wintry night that makes you long for summer. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

The Corran ferry is shown in darkness with the deck floodlit and a lone member of crew waiting for vehicles to drive on. The slipway is in the foreground and the ramp heads to the right onto the ferry. Nothing is visible in the darkness beyond the ferry.

‘Friend or Foe?’ is a fast-paced new thriller set largely in south-west Scotland during World War Two. The Harbour Inn in Garlieston was known as the Galloway Arms Hotel in 1943 and appears in the book.
Available as a paperback, Kindle, Kobo or Apple. Find out more:

This modern image shows the Harbour Inn in Garlieston. It is two storeys in height with a slate roof and is finished in white over rough stone. It occupies a corner position on the street, with the building extending out of the right side of the frame and the corner, with a hanging pub sign, on the left. Behind the sign are the frontages of other buildings in the street. The sunlight is coming from the left and glances across the face of the inn. The sky is blue. The front cover of ‘Friend or Foe?’ is shown in the bottom right corner.

The Govan Coat of Arms on the facade of J.J. Burnet's 1903 Elderpark Library on the Southside of Glasgow. I love this wat this seems to have been carved in pieces and then assembled in its final location.

St Mary’s Haddington 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 has some remarkable medieval oak timbers in the nave roof. My #dendrochronology work there dated them to the early 1400s and revealed them as Baltic baulks from the Gdansk region.

Inverlochy Castle near Fort William. Built from around 1280 it was overtaken by history not once, but twice: first by a Cromwellian citadel built in 1654 and then by a Scots baronial style Inverlochy Castle built not far away in 1863. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Inverlochy Castle near Fort William showing the outside of the castle seen through trees. The grey stone ruins of the castle extend across the centre of the frame, on top of a grassy bank. Nearest us is a ruined circular corner tower, and the curtain walls extend back both sides of it to other ruined towers. The scene is in sunlight with the shadow of trees in the foreground.

One broch, two millennia, three murders. ‘Thicker Than Water’ is a compelling murder mystery set in northern Scotland. Sarclet Haven on the east coast of Caithness forms a focal point for the story.

The image is looking down into a natural harbour formed by grassy cliffs on the right of the frame and sweeping round on the left to a headland that protects the harbour entrance. At the head of the harbour is a sandy and then rocky beach with a grass shelf below the viewer at the foot of the frame. A roofless stone building stands in the bottom left of the frame. The sea beyond the harbour is blue. The front cover of ‘Thicker Than Water’ is shown in the bottom right corner.
