The damp dark grey skies have been rather overpowering the past month, so it was nice to see a glimpse of colour last night at Loch Garry. #loch #sunset #scotland #landscape

Ghost is great as there are no one else's algorithms getting in the way. Ghost web sites look great on mobile, so looking forward to reading T.E.M. on the move.

Nice one, I've been using Ghost for my website for a year or so, I love it's speed and simplicity.

Applecross, where the Highlands meet the tide.

One moment you’re tracing the curve of the coastline, the next you’re watching a herd of deer step onto the beach. #scotland #landscape #wildlife #beach

After last nights cloudy moonrise, it was nice to see the moon lift off above The Bass Rock tonight, with Lamb Island and Fidra joining in the almost full moon party.
