St Ninian's Chapel, Isle of Whithorn. Dating from the 13th C, replacing an older building on the site. Beyond on the headland are the ramparts of an Iron Age promontory fort and a white tower, known as The Cairn.

This strange remnant of World War 2 is a section of Mulberry Harbour (a beetle), tested at Garlieston during 1943, prior to the D-Day landings. It now lies stranded, slowly corroding on the rocks at Eggerness Point. #blackandwhitephotography #Scotland #Galloway

The beautiful village of Portpatrick in the Rhins of Galloway, which looks out over the North Channel towards Northern Ireland. Its origins date back some 500 years and until the 1860s it was a major ferry port. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/portpatrick/portpatrick/index.html

It's funny when the Guardian visits your wee corner of the world, simply because of how clueless they show you they are.
Galloway is 'unspoiled' with its plantations and sheep scrubbed hills, apparently.

Marlene enjoyed a spot of afternoon leaping in the sunshine today.

Take a pause for breath
Let the landscape revive you
Drink in the Mountains

1/3

Going into the local school tomorrow to share some local stories, so I put them into a wee book.
For Primary 1 to 3, hope the stories aren't too scary!

After an enforced hiatus due to the stormy weather we've had so much of, here's a new history video!

We're returning to Kenmure Castle for a more in depth look at it's long history.
With a wee bit of a different direction to the usual,  we're answering questions as to who lived here, how it got itself involved in Scotland's larger history and how it came to be in such a ruined state while we explore the ruin itself.

As t-Fhoghar chuir mi beagan làithean seachad ann am Baile a' Chrìch. Mar sin, nach toir sinn sùil air eachdraidh Gàidhealach is Lochlannach ann an Gall-Ghàidhealaibh

This eerie remnant of World War 2 is a section of Mulberry Harbour, tested at Garlieston during 1943, prior to the D-Day landings. It now lies stranded, slowly corroding on the rocks at Eggerness Point.

It's the first day of December, so let's see if I can post a wee video most days until Christmas
New videos are being worked on just now, but between the weather and the short hours of daylight at this time of year, finding adequate time is a challenge at the moment.
This one, from two years ago, tells the story of St John's Chair in Dalry, and a brazen attempt to steal it!

I'm on Landward tonight talking about St John's Town of Dalry and it's links to Tam o Shanter.
We have a local tale about a man called Adam Forrester who spotted witches partying in our local kirk.
