Here's a photograph that will brighten your day.

This is Scottish Refugee Council head Sabir Zazai, who came to the country as a refugee from Afghanistan in 1999.

He's standing in sunny Edinburgh, with some of the 20 refugee women from Afghanistan who have just arrived on visas to study medicine at Scottish universities.

If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.

A beautiful calm misty morning, livened up somewhat by the mass of gulls, crows and ducks squawking, cawing and quacking at great volume.

A natural sepia tone photo taken on a misty morning as the sun rises over the river. There are silhouettes of 4 flying gulls prominent in the photo, with more floating on the rippling water alongside a couple of ducks. There is mist shrouding the trees and buildings in the distance.

Copper Stills - made the way they always have been.

Of course not our wee installation a deniable distance from the cottage 🥳

I go to a lot of whisky tastings (indeed, I'm going to one tonight), and there is often talk about the impact of the design of the still on the end product. (The answer depends on who you talk to.) They're clearly important, though.

After a sleepy few days of thick, grey cloud cover - the wind had picked up this morning around the Isle of Skye and we can now see some of the Cuillin mountain range again from the cottage, this is Blaven, one of my favourite big sawblade ridges. #SilentSunday #Scotland #landscapephotography #mountains
Part of the Cuillin mountain range, Isle of Skye, Scotland seen from across the Eishort sealoch. The very jagged ridges belong to a very famous mountain called Blaven.

"Just a couple of weeks ago... Sarwar was eagerly looking forward to performing a weekly miracle at #FMQs, standing up despite not having a spine, and securing his position as this year's 'Saviour of the Union'.

"But no one, not even a hard-bitten cynic like me, could have anticipated the rapidity of Labour's fall from the good graces of the electorate, not just in #Scotland but across the UK as a whole."

As much as it would amuse me to post many MANY shiny balls and colourful trees I think there's just one last piece to finish the thread off, because the colours are so beautiful.

Let there be no doubt, if I ruled the world all bridges would wear bling like this. Lots of other good stuff too, obvs, but blinged up bridges FTW.

The Allegro Tunnel viewed from over the water & before walking through.

#Scotland #photography #EnchantedForest
A photo of the tunnel from across the loch. From this angle it looks like a set of rainbow coloured vertical stripes with lit up trees behind and water in front. The water reflects the lights.
Photo of the tunnel from over the water, but zoomed in quite tight. The vertical strips of colour are bright, but they have jagged black areas cut out - the leaves and branches from surrounding trees. You can see people walking through the tunnel, in the darkness between the stripes.
A photo of the tunnel entrance. The frame is black, and there is an angular archway of rainbow coloured stripes. At the bottom the black includes the silhouettes of some of the visitors heads and shoulders.
A photo of the tunnel from a few metres away. There is a group of people walking through, heads lit up reflecting the different colours lights from the angular archway. To the left and right you can see lit up trees in pink and blues.

The spectacular beach and superb coastal scenery at Clachtoll, north of Lochinver on the west coast of Sutherland. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/lochinver/clachtoll/index.html

The beach and coastal scenery at Clachtoll. The image shows a view over a broad white beach at low tide from tussocky grass in the foreground to a rocky outcrop on the right and a low rocky promontory on the far side of the beach, with some white cottages at its left-hand end. The turquoise sea is lapping in from the right and in the background are some mountains low on the horizon on the right of the frame. The sky is blue.

It seems that the Home Office have learnt bugger all from previous feck ups.

Costa Koushiappis, 39, who is Greek Cypriot, has been told to show up at Edinburgh airport at 7am on Friday to be forcibly put on a flight to Amsterdam just weeks after he received an email from the Home Office to say it could take a further 24 months to process his application for status.

A lovely dawn for a swim in Loch Earn today. A clear cold night left mist lying on the water and draped over the hills. #Scotland #Perthshire #WildSwimming
Looking over the water towards a gap in the hills and lochside trees where the golden light of the unrisen sun is glowing in a misty sky. The glassy water in the foreground is rippled by my swimming.

Sandy beach on the Isle of Arran at low tide. Moutains and greenery in the background with a cloudy blue sky. In the foreground, sunk into the pebbles and sand is the skeleton of a wooden ship, barely visible, covered in bright green seaweed.

Calling all #nature and #MarineBiology friends, can anyone tell us what these little jellies are? Beach, Isle of Arran.

Clear see-through jellies on a sandy beach. They are small, size of the end of a thumb maybe, and have vertical ridges all around. Kinda shaped like acorns.

Loch Shiel at Glenfinnan in the Western Scottish Highlands and another example of being in the right place at the right time to catch a burst of autumnal sunshine, highlighting the colours of the season. Sometimes, luck is on your side!

More of a sad sight than usual. An entire estate full of 3 and 4 bed homes, left to ruin for the past four years. My visit was cut a little short by local kids trying to demolish what was left.

#scotland #photography #abandoned
A view up the abandoned street, large detached houses sit with broken windows and doors.
One of the vandalised houses, the door has been kicked through and many of the windows are smashed.
A relatively intact fitted kitchen. The safety and final inspection paperwork still sits on the counter.
