Sligachan Old Bridge

Old bridge near Sligachan, Isle of Skye. The Bridge was built between 1810 and 1818 by the famous Scottish civil engineer Thomas Telford. In 40 years Telford built nearly one thousand bridges all over in the UK.

Precarious by Pete Rowbottom, Wigan, UK Via Flickr: Follow me on Instagram here 'Precarious' Adjective. - not securely held or in position; dangerously likely to fall or collapse. This to me seems to be the perfect description of this scene, with the Old Man Of Storr somehow continually defying gravity to cling on despite being on a steep slope and it having a lot of its base eroded away.... I wanted something different from this location so I've used the drone to get some new angles and I've come away with 3 or 4 shots very different to what I've taken before, this is one of the locations on Skye where inclement weather works really well with the surroundings giving a very moody and dramatic feel to images, while it's always good to shoot in beautiful sunlight, I often prefer conditions like this for that extra bit of drama, just short of a few Dinosaurs wandering around! Only the second drone image I've added to this stream, although I do seem to have amassed quite a few now that I will share over time, it's something that I was unsure I would take to, but that was 3 drones ago now, on this trip I was actually using it more than the DSLR a lot of the time and wouldn't be without it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My website has recently been fully updated and can be found by clicking on the link below.

In the realm of otters and sea eagles

On my recent trip to the Highlands and Islands of western Scotland I was so lucky to bump into this otter, busy fishing for crabs. It let me watch for a while…

The Blackening.

I'd read and written about this many years ago, 11 to be exact, but this is the first time I have witnessed it.

A pre-wedding ritual done here in the Islands, Highlands and some rural parts of Scotland.

The blackening is where a groom and/or bride are taken out in public (often in the back of a truck) and doused in a range of unmentionables: treacle, flour, feathers, custard, fish guts, cow dung – anything goes. Ideally a mix of as many as possible, the more disgusting the better.

I got a couple of pics on my camera and will post them at a later date.
