The Royal Botanic Gardens 1834 & 1858 Palm Houses are looking magnificent following their restoration, and they’re one single space now. 👌💚

Hume Castle, a wonderfully eccentric folly built near Greenlaw in the Scottish Borders in the 1780s that evokes sand, camels and Beau Geste. What you see today was built on the site of a formidable castle with origins in the 1200s. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Hume Castle. The image shows a view across a green field to a grassy mound that rises beyond a stone wall and some trees. On its top is an extravagantly crenellated stone castle that appears square and has rounded corners. The sky is blue.

You can’t ask a dead man who pulled the trigger. ‘A Tangled Web’ is a fast-paced contemporary thriller set in northern Scotland. The battlefield at Culloden is visited by the central character as the story builds.
Available as a Kindle, Kobo or Apple. Find out more:

The memorial cairn at Culloden battlefield. The image shows a large cylindrical cairn made of large rocks in the centre of the frame which has gorse growing on top of it. There are three people standing on this side of the cairn and looking at a stone plaque which identifies the site. There is vegetation in the background. The sky is blue and the scene is in sunlight. The front cover of ‘A Tangled Web’ is shown in the top right corner.

I saw the light (or lack thereof) yesterday, and grabbed my camera and stepped outside, pretty sure I'd see the mother of all rainbows. But there was none. There was however, the darkest and brightest 'at the same time' moment I think I've ever seen. Extraordinary.

The fishing and ferry port of Mallaig, at the end of the "Road to the Isles" and the West Highland Railway, with the Isle of Eigg in the background. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

#Scotland #Mallaig #Lochaber #Harbour #Eigg

Mallaig. The image shows a view from a high point down across water onto a harbour that stretches across the centre of the frame and has moored boats, a slipway and boatyard and wharves with more boats. There are two and three storey houses and flats beyond the harbour and in the background on the right is sea that extends out to a distant island. The sky is blue.

Some wonderful footage capturing the last year of Glasgow's trolleybuses. They came late to the city, only appearing in 1949, making Glasgow the last British city to implement such a system. They outlived the tram network by 7 years, running for the last time in 1967

The spectacular Ballachulish slate quarries, an unlikely but fascinating visitor attraction. Slate was extracted for over two and a half centuries until 1955; and from 1903 the quarries were served by a branch railway from Oban. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

#Scotland #Ballachulish

The Ballachulish slate quarries. The image shows a gravel track leading into the frame from its lower right corner and a sign saying Ballachulish Slate Quarries in the lower left. Beyond some small trees are the rock faces of the quarries themselves with a scrubby hillside above them. The scene is in sunlight.

Torrisdale Bay. The image shows an outcrop of rocks in the bottom left, leading to a grassy shoreline across the bottom of the frame. Beyond it, a river flows from left to right to an area of sea across the centre of the frame. On the far side of the river is a broad sandy beach, which extends as far as a distant headland that runs across most of the horizon. The sky is mainly blue. The front cover of ‘Bridge of Sighs’ is shown in the bottom right corner.

The Knowe, just off Albert Drive on the Southside of Glasgow. This beautiful Romanesque villa was designed by Alexander 'Greek' Thomson and was constructed as a country house in several stages in the 1850s.

The graves of outlaw and folk hero Rob Roy MacGregor, his widow Mary and their sons Coll and Robin in Balquhidder kirkyard in the Stirling council area. Rob Roy died in 1734 aged 63 and Mary in 1745 despite what it says on their graves. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

#Scotland

The graves of Rob Roy MacGregor, his widow Mary and their sons Coll and Robin. The image is looking down onto a square plot filled by three recumbent stone grave markers and surrounded by an enclosure formed from low metal bars supported at the corners by knobbly stones. On the far side is a standing marker carrying a slate plaque with the words MacGregor Despite Them. The scene is in sunlight.

If you walk west along Doune Gardens in the North Kelvinside area of Glasgow, you may notice something odd. For no obvious reason, the buildings suddenly change and its name becomes Doune Quadrant. So, why does this happen?
