This #worldanimalday let’s celebrate this #scottish #sealoch specialist …the firework anemone. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙🎆. A #PMF nationally scarce, restricted to very sheltered soft, muddy west coast sea lochs where 95% of the population are recorded. #recordsmatter #seasearch #CitizenScience

For folk wondering what the weather's like in the Highlands in October, here's an overview. #Scotland #AutumnVibes #Stormhour

A bit of magic on a holiday in Scotland #calmac #visitscotland #autumnadventures

CUTE SNAIL EAT WITH PROBOSCIS! SO KAWAI!! #molluscmonday #molluskmonday

Halloween on South Uist, 1932 looked pretty terrifying. Children made homemade costumes from sheepskins, haystack wigs, scraped-out skulls and sheep ears! One boy spent an entire day peeling the skin from a sheep skull to make his mask! (📸 Canna House Photographic Collection)

one of these requires extreme patience, dexterity and strength to carve the other is the Kildalton Cross

Seasonal jags scheduled for today, so I've been dosing us up with homemade smoothies. Depending on how we feel after, I might be looking for a stronger dose of something later!

Ben Nevis Mountain Shelter linocut print, with gratuitous ink noises. A few of these left. More rocky work on the way soon #linocut

I wish I could say it was like this on Skye today. But it wasn't. #dreich #ScotlandIsNow

It's always cool to visit Loch Carron. We hit the narrows bang on slack and got loads of time for a mooch about today. There's so much to see it can be a bit overwhelming, so it's nice to come home after a dive and have a good close look at the pictures. #scubadiving #scotland

Good morning sunshine! #scottishseas #sunstar

Found twenty metres down on the seabed in Loch Duich. Guessing it's something like an old laundry copper, but things like this look timeless - especially when you find them in the sea! #Diving #MarineArchaeology #Scotland

Winter sun casts long shadows. #IsleofSkye #Winter #Scotland

We just missed #InternationalMountainDay (it was yesterday) but we did manage to head up into the corrie of Beinn na Caillich this morning. Nice to dust down the crampons and start to #ThinkWinter. Definitely snowy, but it's all on the soft and fluffy side just now.

Every year my father carves a woodcut Christmas card. Each is then hand-applied to a piece of pale birch. This year, for reasons that may be obvious, he chose an otter! #carving #woodcarving #mastercarver #otters

Things have gone downhill in Lapland.

We might not be posting much, but here's a favourite picture of our home and B&B on Skye. We're also on Facebook and Instagram. #otterlodgebedandbreakfast #otterlodgeskye #bedandbreakfast
