I've been gradually moving content from YouTube to Peertube, my chosen instance being CuddlyTube, from @PrivateCoffee . So far I'm impressed, it's worked very well. I setup 2 channels, one for our B&B (including trail cam shots of our wildlife), the other for the wider area of Scotland. Please check out the channels, feedback welcomed.

Dunollie Castle, whose ruins stand on the summit of a 90ft high outcrop of rock guarding the narrow passage into Oban Bay between the mainland and the north end of the island of Kerrera. The site has been fortified since about 700. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/oban/dunollie/index.html

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎫🚆 #ScotRail has released 100,000 extra Advance Single tickets as part of a spring ticket drop aimed at helping passengers save on rail travel across #Scotland. The discounted fares, available from Wednesday 20 May, can cut journey costs by up to 60 per cent on selected routes.

Advance fares are offered on a range of intercity and rural services, including routes linking Glasgow and #Edinburgh with #Aberdeen, #Inverness and #Oban. Tickets are available to book up to 12 weeks in advance and must be purchased by 6pm two days before #travel.

ScotRail said passengers are more likely to find the cheapest fares by booking early and travelling at quieter times, such as early mornings or late evenings. Extra savings are also available for railcard holders and Club 50 members. Advance fares are not available on services between Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Partly hidden by neighbouring buildings, the superb Oban Distillery stands right in the heart of the town of Oban in Argyll. It was founded on this site by a family of local merchants, the Stevensons, in 1794. #scotch #whisky More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/oban/obandistillery/index.html

2 baby red #squirrel kits rescued in Oban

They were found at base of tree in #Oban, Argyll and Bute, by member of public who alerted #Scottish #SPCA

It is thought that the kits may have fallen from their nest

1 of the kits were thought to have an injured leg which may have been due to the fall

The kits, which have been named Fanta & Tango, were given a course of antibiotics & remain under care

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.

A rear view of McCaig's Tower, the magnificent folly that dominates the skyline of Oban in Argyll. What you see is what had been built by the time of John Stuart McCaig's death in 1902: it is possible that more was planned.
