Think this was part of the Duke of Gordon's original "plan" for Tomintoul - a planned village. Big cross through it, guess there must be a plan b later somewhere. Main Street ended up being over a mile long.

A place dear to my heart has a very special birthday. It was founded over two centuries ago.

Yes, that's right. We're celebrating 250 years of Tomintoul in Moray in the highlands of Scotland.

Happy birthday Tomintoul!🎉

A 2 day trip with Moray to explore above the Ailnack Gorge in the Cairngorms. Wow, it's Scotland's biggest glacial meltwater channel, at 10km long & over 100m deep in places. Most of the way no path, just following sheep tracks or ploughing through heather or bog. Quite tricky to photograph that sort of scenery and also get a dog (safely) in the pic. We camped upstream where it was safe to descend & cross.

Tomintoul: Government-funded eco village plagued with heating problems leaves families in fuel poverty | STV News
Shame about the teething problems which I hope get resolved but the houses are innovative in their own way as buildings in character with the older surroundings and people weren't allowed to buy them as second homes. Badly needed modern housing in rural Scotland.

Random #Tomintoul nostalgia

"Nice to handle
Nice to hold
If you break it
Consider it sold"

Sticker in the old #JimmyRoss days in the #PostOffice. Next to racks of tourist souvenirs made of pottery/glass anything that would make a satisfying smash when dropped onto hard floors.

BBC News: Veteran broadcaster Robbie Shepherd dies aged 87.

RIP. Apart from his radio work he used to be the stadium commentator for the #Tomintoul Highland Games. A grand job he made of it. A sad loss to lovers of the #Doric tongue.
