  1. “Kirk of St. Nicholas” — Black doors and entry arch, Kirk of St. Nicholas, Aberdeen.

    There is a bit of a story about our May visit to Aberdeen, after our northwest Scotland loop and before we flew to Ireland. Patty had been to Aberdeen decades ago for a music festival, when she was on an international orchestra tour, and I think she has always wanted to revisit this place. In addition, it seemed like a good place to enjoy a couple of slow days before embarking on the rest of our six-week trip through Scotland, Ireland, and England. So we had no big plans, and on this day we simply headed off on a “random walk.”…more: gdanmitchell.com/2026/07/30/ki

  3. “Poetry 86” — A weathered Aberdeen wall with graffiti, pipes, and street art.

    It may seem odd that someone cast as a “landscape photograph” is also intrigued by rough-edged urban scenes. To some these subjects may seem as radically different from natural landscapes as can be imagined, but I see connections. In fact, I like to think of photographs like this one from Aberdeen, Scotland as “urban landscapes.”…more: gdanmitchell.com/2026/07/27/po

  6. CW: snakes in a bag, Scotland

    #SSPCA rescued a #python in a bag, amongst 500 others taken in by the animal welfare organisation since 2020 (it seems many are being abandoned due to the energy cost of keeping such #pets in a Northern European country that gets cold in winter!)

    They have also built a snake obstacle course in #Aberdeen (alas, there are no photos or videos of this-and it would be cool to see are STV's reporters all scared or snakes, or (more likely) a lack of budgets?

  11. High costs and unreliable #deliveries for #parcels in Shetland, report finds

    Consumer #Scotland has published a report into its findings in #Shetland, #Orkney and the #WesternIsles, saying #islanders faced “high #postal costs” and “inconsistent services”.

    A #RoyalMail decision to move postal #flights to #Glasgow instead of #Aberdeen has often been cited as resulting in longer delivery times in Shetland.

  15. “The Naked Emperor” — “The Naked Emperor,” by Edward von Lõngus, on an Aberdeen wall.

    I photographed this version of “The Naked Emperor” in Aberdeen, Scotland, but I understand that the figure is found in many European cities. The artist signs his work, “Edward von Lõngus,”which I understand is a pseudonym meant to hide his real identity, in the Banksy tradition. I made the photograph along a very old, narrow street in an area of Aberdeen where there is a lot of other street art…more: gdanmitchell.com/2026/07/12/th

  17. “Netherkirkgate” — Aman on a ladder in Aberdeen, Scotland.

    Our recent travels to the British Isles began (aside from a very brief stopover in London) with a lengthy visit to Skye and the northwest of Scotland. After that first adventure we returned to Inverness and took a train to Aberdeen for a few days. After more than a week in the wild open spaces of northwest Scotland, returning to this urban setting was quite a contrast!…more: gdanmitchell.com/2026/07/09/ne

  19. Das ist schön das dritte ehemalige Kirchengebäude, das mir in Schottland begegnet. Hier ist das Marine Museum Aberdeen drin, die beiden Gebäude vorher waren zu Kneipen und Musikbühnen umfunktioniert.

    Mit das Beste, was einer Kirche passieren kann, oder? 😁
