Stay on edge of North York Moors, but originally from Maryburgh, a wee place in the Highlands. Very often found on a Westerly Konsort off the West Coast of Scotland ⛵ Married to a musician. 📷 Usually mine
Best place to sail 👍
Sailing boat at anchor with pink, grey and blue colours of sunset over the very low-lying island of Tiree, Inner Hebrides. Scotland.
At anchor in company - Gott Bay, Tiree.
An old street lamp in the foreground and the silhouette of old cottages with chimneys show up against a beautiful orange sky. A glow of light shines out from one of the cottage windows.
Cold weather and clear skies make for beautiful sunsets.

Yes, I am!
Jasmine Harrison is our local adventurer. She's also my grandchildren's swimming teacher.
Stood in the sunshine looking over the yellow gorse bushes from high in the hills above Lochranza. The small ferry can be seen arriving at the slip on a beautiful calm blue sea.
A track leads down from the hills at the north end of the Isle of Arran. A little croft house on the RHS of the track sells teas, coffee and ice creams to passing walkers. It was a hot sunny day - the Icecream was wonderful!

Drumlin was anchored in Lamlash Bay, we took the 'round the island' bus and hopped on and off in beautiful weather.
Lovely to look at on days like today, when the temp won't rise above zero 🥶
Looking across a dazzling bright sea to the Isle of Arran on the horizon shrouded in low cloud with the small island of Inchmarnock to the front of it. Tall wild flowers are growing on the foreshore with a large sandy beach.

Photo taken from the shore looking across the bay at Avoch to the silouette of a hill against a bright but monochrome sky with the reflection of the sun shining brightly on the sea.
Late afternoon light shining on the Moray Firth from Avoch harbour.
One-pot-wonder pasta dishes.
Colour photograph of a black bird with a gold and red spot on its upper wing, facing right and perched on a thin twig with beak open out of which whisps of breath emerge, all against an undefined greyish background
Photographer Kathrin Swoboda captured amazing images of a red wing blackbird's song, visible via the bird's breath in cold air and early light
A green and white fishing boat tied up in the harbour in the late afternoon light. Snow covered mountains can be seen in the distance.
The Calmac ferry pier is brightly lit to the left of the photo. A rain squall can be seen coming off the hills at the end of the sea loch.
Teasels stand high on the foreshore against the stormy sky and the patchy snow on the hills.
The Christmas Creel Tree stands on the shore, lit up brightly with coloured lights and a huge twinkling crab in white lights on the top.
Popped over to Ullapool, Wester Ross this afternoon.
Thanks, and you.
I'm hoping to see quite a few cormorants myself as I'm popping over to Ullapool today.
A derelict castle stands high above a sea cliff with pure blue sky above.

A visit to the Island of Kerrera, west coast of Scotland.
- 16th century Gylen Castle, built by the Clan MacDougall, with Drumlin anchored in the south facing inlet below.
A temporary anchorage very often vulnerable to a large swell from the prevailing South Westerlies.
Brilliant!

At anchor off Ullapool harbour - a mackerel sky developing and reflected in a very calm sea. Many varied boats are moored with hills behind.
Anchored off Ullapool, Wester Ross.
In the days before the harbour and seafront improvement work.
The sea is mirror calm, reflecting the blue of the sky and the green of trees that are growing right to the edge of the rocky shore.
At anchor.

A man and an otter sitting on a rock on the shore, looking at each other. The man is talking to the otter which seems to be listening to him.
The most beautiful film I've watched in a very long time 🦦 😍

Best friends!

Black storm clouds with rainbow above farm buildings, electricity pylon and field of barley stubble glowing brightly in early morning sunlight.
Pretty impressive weather arriving this morning in the Highlands.
-photos probably need a click for full image.
Good choice 👍
Oh no!
We saw the rail replacement buses when we were driving up yesterday. Good luck.
- I don't suppose you've got earplugs with you? 🙉
A9 trunk road Drumochter Summit. Highlands of Scotland. Mountains have a small amount of snow in the gullies
Low cloud as the A9 trunk road winds through the mountains.
All I can say is it's 'moody' - A9 North.
12°C temp change since yesterday, it's now 6°C and most of yesterday's snow is gone.

Sailors have a strange relationship with lighthouses. They're friends, but found in the most inhospitable places.

A snowy village scene.
Woke up to this today 🙄
Due to drive north to stop with family in the Highlands.
Thanks #stormbert for the gale force easterlies and snow.
Can't say we weren't warned, from the start of the week Drumochter and Slochd were always going to be a problem.
...Ach well, let's see what tomorrow brings 😊
It's perfect when waiting for a weather window to jump to the Western Isles.
Can't tell from shore side, but the entrance is practically invisible from sea.
Acarsaid Mhor - Rona Perfect natural harbour surrounded by steep sided, tree covered hills and the narrowest of entrances from the open sea. A white cottage sits tucked away above the shore in the foreground.
The perfectly sheltered natural harbour at Acarsaid Mhor - Rona.
Lying between the east coast of Skye and the west coast Scottish mainland.
You can just see Drumlin at anchor on the RHS, hiding from very brisk northerlies with the Isle of Skye in the distance.
