  1. Après avoir eu un coup de cœur pour son roman Un étranger en Olondre, Sofia Samatar, autrice américano-somalienne, continue de me convaincre avec sa dernière novella La Pratique, l’Horizon et la Chaîne. Au programme : de la SF militante qui traite avec justesse d’esclavagisme, d’oppression, de classes sociales, d’art, et des liens qui nous unissent.

  3. New lambs are appearing all around us at the moment. We are about a week into what is typically a three week process, with twins usually coming a little sooner than the singles.

  4. Today - after #StormDave has passed through - is a day of contrasts: heavy, squally showers of hail or sleet blasting out of dark clouds; or clear sunshine, even if still bitterly cold.

    A glorious end to a very trying final Friday in February - fixing fences and chasing sheep out of the wood - again.

  14. I've lived 6 years on the Scottish Isle of Islay in a lovely cottage 20 metres from the sea. Some days we had views like this one. What more can I say 😊

  15. A moment above Loch Etive. Calm with the clouds and mountains around.
    Human influence all too obvious, from salmon fishing farms to an ugly scar of a quarry in the hillside. Sigh.

  16. The spectacular view north-east over Oban in Argyll from Pulpit Hill, which rises to a height of some 239ft above the south side of Oban Bay and is one of two "must visit" viewpoints that the town has to offer. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/oba

  17. Beautiful Castle Stalker, seen from the road to Port Appin in Argyll, with the mountains of Morvern in the background. The castle was built on its own very small islet in Loch Laich in about 1495 by Duncan Stewart of Appin. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/app

  20. From 23 June 2025, young people aged 19–21 living on #Scottish islands will be eligible for concessionary ferry vouchers for travel to the mainland. The scheme, part of the 2025–26 #transport budget, offers four free single (or two return) trips per year and already supports those aged 16–18 and full-time volunteers up to 25. Covering #Orkney, #Shetland, the Outer #Hebrides, and islands in North #Ayrshire, #Argyll and #Bute, and #Highland Council areas, the expansion builds on the Scottish Government’s Islands Connectivity Plan. It follows the introduction of free inter-island ferry travel for under-22s. Cabinet Secretary for Transport Fiona Hyslop said the move will help young islanders access work, education, and opportunities, while the government continues to explore further transport support for island communities.

  25. Drochaid Ìme ann an Glenn Chonglais.

    The 'butter bridge' on the old drove road leading to the Rest and Be Thankful. Takes it name from Beinn Ìme, hidden in the mist. Beinn Ìme got its name from when butter was made in the high shielings. The old drove road was later upgraded by General Wade as a military road in the British state's campaign to pacify the Highlands.

  26. The remarkably well-preserved Kildonan Dun, on the Kintyre coast north of Campbeltown. Roughly D-shaped, it would have served as a fortified farmstead when first built, the better part of two thousand years ago. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/cam

  27. The tranquil ruins of Ardchattan Priory, close to the north shore of Loch Etive in Argyll. In 1308 King Robert the Bruce held what is said to have been the last Scottish Parliament conducted in Gaelic here during a military expedition. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/ben

  29. The views from Connel Bridge have always been great but the new cantilevered walkway really gives an uninterrupted vista. #Scotland #Argyll #Cruachan #LochEtive
