  1. In another place, I'm doing a thread of islands I've visited, because it fits my username. One photo every day or so. But sometimes an extra photo slips in that I can't use (because one photo per island) so I'll have to share it here.

    St Tredwell's Loch, on Papa Westray, one of the smaller islands of Orkney. I don't know why a lake on an island seems so odd, but it does. Maybe because of how close it is to the sea. (You might be able to see the strip of blue sea behind the loch.)

    Photo is taken from St Tredwell's Chapel, the ruins of a Medieval chapel built over Iron Age remains, or an overgrown bunch of rocks on a hill. (As you can in the foreground.)

    If you're into photos of islands, the thread starts here:

  2. Travel around the #Highlands & islands transformed by huge zero-carbon airships - report

    The study into the potential of the helium-filled Airlander vehicles found that a reliable network for passengers and freight could be established using existing airports.

    The feasibility study looked at #Inverness, #Kirkwall, #Sumburgh, #Barra, Papa Westray, #Stornoway & Scapa Bay
