  1. Torwood Castle near Denny in the Falkirk council area. It was probably built in 1566 and today it remains remarkably complete, yet is surprisingly little-known and can be viewed externally only. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/den

  2. An unusual example of a lowland broch. The elusive Tappoch (or Torwood) Broch is located near Denny in central Scotland, concealed within a dense (though now partly cleared) forest. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/den

  3. LNER 246 "Morayshire" approaches Bo’ness station on the wonderful Bo’ness & Kinneil Railway. The railway has been built from scratch or relocated to this site from elsewhere over the years since 1979. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/bon

  6. The mysterious Torwood Blue Pool near Denny. This circular brick structure is full of remarkably blue water and its origin and purpose continue to be debated, though it was probably an air shaft for a coal mine that closed in 1910. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/den

  9. Well this was a random find in an Oban charity shop yesterday, a program for the 1981 Falkirk Tryst Bi-Centenary Piping Competition, signed on the back by eight of the participants.

    It has a chronological history of the Highland Society of London's competitions from 1781 but no mention of bellows pipers not being allowed to compete or two drone pipes being discouraged. :)

    Sunset over the Grangemouth Petrochemical complex. How long will it be here?

  14. The Bo'ness Hippodrome.

    Scotland's oldest purpose-built functioning cinema. It's a thing of beauty. If you can, visit it and watch a film there.

  18. a couple of things I made last year, someone's kid loved the Kelpies statues in falkirk, and asked if I could print him little versions. so I sourced an STL for him, printed them and painted them up. made a foiled frame for him to put into a led lit box along with a large lithophne to go with it.
    I added a little mini lithophen and light and packaged it all in a nice celtic themed box.

    Another from Scotland, this time the Dunmore Estate Nr. Falkirk. Originally planned on seeing the Elphinstone Tower Mausoleum and The Pineapple, but came across this avenue of Giant Sequoia on route to the tower.

    My partner at the time for scale. I'd have a guess at 200-250 years old, given that they can live for 3000 years they've got some growing to do.
