A couple of lads have paddled from Greenland to Scotland, to recreate the trips made by the Inuit of the 17-1800's http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-37295203 Respect!

Why any commercially run activity would plan to use an open bothy as part of their activity for accommodation is beyond me. Anything other than part of an emergency plan or other contingency; such as rendezvous or tea stop in inclement conditions, is against the terms and conditions the MBA...

"Water Wind and Fire" is the title of the Loch Lomond episode of Weir's Way from 1970. For those who don't know of Tom Weir, google him, he even has his own tribute song so if you haven't heard of him, you've likely led a sheltered life :naughty: In this episode Tom floats over Loch Lomond...

Had a great day out yesterday, did a bit of walking n' fishing and ended up at my little gem loch, although she wasn't playing ball (read the description from this youtube link for the details and to see my weeist ever trout from here go back). Round here it's hill loch fishing for brown trout...

As above :D Mines a quiet croft up a quiet glen with a river nearby, a good productive garden, space for a fodder crop or two, tatties, a coupe of cows a few sheep a decent quad and a good shed.

The weather has been too wild so far this winter for me to bother, I'm hoping for a calmer spell next month. The wind has been extremely fierce so far so hoping for some rest-bite. Despite the incessant wind and rain, up high it's been snowing almost non stop for weeks now, there have been many...

Went for a wander along the shore near my house yesterday and called in to a cave I spent quite a bit of time hanging out in in my youth. Not really a day out more of a quick wander in the shadow of the old woman to remind me of my mortality (if you click my profile you can see the old woman's...

Bit of a gale blowing yesterday so perfect for cropping the currants. I've 4 bushes out back that put out around 5kg annually and I use them to make jam :D Last year it was so midgie the daughter and her wee pal refused the bribe of a run to the village for sweets in exchange for doing the...

Uilleachan, (Willie), here. Living on the NW coast of Scotland. Born and partly raised in Edinburgh I moved here as a teenager, hated it and swore I'd leave once I had the means, but never got round to it despite a few false starts and the odd attempt. I learned to love the very rain that...
