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.

Tomintoul Games - Fun
"It isn't all serious competition with a few entertaining events including:The Barrel Race - the aim is to push a whisky barrel (empty!) uphill as fast as possible using only a broom handle. This event is, we think, unique to Tomintoul and originated in distilleries where the warehousemen indulged in a little light relief at lunch time competing against one another..."

35 years since #PiperAlpha. One of the victims is remembered in the modern #Tomintoul graveyard. A long way from the sea.

CW: Scottish Single Malt, ruined with an inappropriate snack
Another in an increasingly disappointing occasional series.
This time, a beautiful Tomintoul 14 Port Finish - which I might well have mentioned before. It's another natural colour, non-chill filtered delight. Think of it as a port bomb, in the same way a sherry bomb would be.
It's lovely stuff, especially given a small spoon of water and a good fifteen minutes to sit there and relax.
I need to try a Tomintoul that's just from bourbon casks as a comparison.
The cake? That's my mother-in-law's special coffee & walnut cake.
It's special because she knows I like good whisky, so she put some Famous Grouse in it...

Found out my #Tomintoul granny threw dynamite over the side of the Grantown-on-Spey bridge 😳💣. Her dad had been a foreman on the roads and had some left-over dynamite in a shed. When he died she took it (sticks?) by car and threw it down into the river. Now have visions of a #BridgeOverTheRiverKwai ending scenario over the #Spey - bomber Bessie 🤣

Christening the new arrival #Scalan - in honour of the historically significant seminary. It kept the pilot light of #Scottish #Catholic faith alive during dark days. Deliberately tucked away in the middle of nowhere #BraesOfGlenlivet near #Tomintoul. If you didn't know it was there, you wouldn't. Handy name for a machine that will be hidden away...quietly getting along doing the Lord's work.

A distant relative died recently in her 90s. Another of the #Tomintoul diaspora. She came to #Glasgow in the 1950s and worked as a community midwife...in the #Gorbals. And yes she got about the #NoMeanCity streets on a bicycle. Respect 👊. She donated her midwife's bag
(something straight out of #MaryPoppins) to Glasgow Women's Library @womenslibrary... and a "string bag"...to use in weighing the bairns👶 🤣
RIP #MarjoryDallas
