  1. ‘Being local is at the heart of everything we do so it made sense for us to say to the world that our business is #Scottish. We were keen that our brand had a fresh modern feel and we think having a .scot web address really helps us stand out from the crowd.’ #TransformationTuesday #dotScot

  7. Nethy full film with subtitles

    Another fascinating watch. Jimmy Macleod, head forester of a tree nursery (Dell Nursery) near Nethy Bridge that ceased operation in 1984.

    He talks about the effect changing from horses and plough to tractors had on the soil and drainage, using kilns for extracting seeds from Scots pine cones, planting and much more.

  12. Gingerman: Episode 319-Nethybridge

    For anyone interested in what the area around Nethy Bridge. Video taken spring 2025. Brilliant watch.

    Contains some drone footage to give you an idea of how close and extensive the wooded areas on the hills are to the houses and people living there. You can understand the evacuation better.

    Passed through it on my recent trip to Tomintoul.

    Fingers crossed that the area escapes the worst 🤞

  17. Field work seems to be over for now in our #BEN_EAF outgoing mobility project in the #Cairngorms, #Scotland.

    We did sample soil for #eDNA #metabarcoding and collected our pitfall traps.

    It was a great and quite warm weather! 😎

    Next: do some invertebrate identification in the labs of the #JamesHuttonInstitute .

  18. Field work half-time for #BEN_EAF! ⛰️

    We took small and larger soil samples from whom hashtag#SoilFauna will be heat-extracted in the soil lab at the Aberdeen campus of the #JamesHuttonInstitute. This is mainly springtails (#Collembola), mites (#Acari), and hopeful more small critters!

    Further, we did also collect the soil fauna from the pitfall traps: mainly ground beetles (#Carabidae), wolf spiders (#Lycosidae), and harvestmen (#Phalangiidae). 🕷️🪲

    Thanks again to Andrea Britton and Debbie Fielding for the help in the field work!

  19. While samplings of #alpine beasties in the #Cairngorms #NationalPark for my #BEN_EAF project at the #JamesHuttonInstitute are still in the preparation, here some impressions of the critters I've found while hiking.
    As temperatures go up, so more activity is expected, right?

  20. A sunny day sandwiched between two stormy days, so a quick couple of hours morning walk with Moray up Craigellachie, the Nature Reserve and hill behind Aviemore. A mixture of summer and autumn - heather and harebell still flowering, the bracken and rowan beries are well into autumn, but everything else is also beginning to turn now.

  26. #ThrowbackThursday
    From 12 years ago this week:

    Moray's first time through the Lairig Ghru, fun in the Dee at Corrour.

    And his first (I think) overnight expedition, onto the Cairngorm plateau.

  27. 2 day trek with overnight camp with Moray this past weekend.

    #Newtonmore to #Aviemore over the high ground of the #Monadhliath, #Cairngorms National Park, #Scotland. Still hot and sunny at times, so lots of stops for rests and rehydration.

    Lots of ups and downs, lots of peat bog and groughs, but some easy walking on great short vegetation.
