A throwback glimpse

#Dunrobin Castle inspired by French chateaux

Parterre gardens & turbulent social history at the time of Sutherland's tragic clearances

Amazing displays of falconry

Just one of the extraordinary experiences I share in my book #NorthCoastJourney

Have stood in the #MayMorning crowd

to hear choristers atop Magdalen tower sing in the first light of the merry month of May

The traditional festival
known also as #Beltane
is a time of much frolicking
- of all kinds!

[Brigid Benson @brigid_benson]

I love this little perched bird

Quietly gracing a gorgeous window of #Pluscarden benedictine abbey

a fabulously peaceful place in a serene glen south west of #Elgin

And the only medieval British monastery still being used for its original purpose.

Going with the flow

One of the beautiful benches on the River Ness islands, inspired by the energy of the waters

My mum saw her perform
& was in awe of her magic

As a child, the soundtrack of Saturday mornings was Ella & my mum singing along to the
Cole Porter Song Book

Right through, over & over!

Know every line still! 🥰

🔥🔥🔥Dangerous times 🔥🔥🔥

Wildfire warnings in Scotland

sunshine
warm air temperatures
low humidity
moderate to strong winds

dead grass
leaves
twigs
heather

when ignited burn very fast
with extreme fire intensity

Calling for a revolution
of open heartedness?

The happy #Inverness juxtaposition of the bar
and the street art,
in English & Gaelic

[Brigid Benson @brigid_benson]

Found a very lovely surprise waiting for me! 💫

April 15 Liverpool

Flags will fly half-mast on
the town hall, St George’s Hall
& Cunard building

The town hall will be lit red

The city invited to fall silent for
1 minute at 3.06pm
the time at which the football match at #Hillsborough
was officially stopped

[Brigid Benson @brigid_benson]

A favourite # is
#OnlineArtExchange

Art houses all over
choose a theme
and offer up
wonders
from their collections

I love it!

A thing of joy and beauty!

Funny how things come into our lives

In a junk shop years ago
Came across this old book

Opened it

Saw this illustration & caption
& decided I had to have it!

Paid a couple of pounds
& it has proved fascinating

Wishing Isla huge success

She's asked to work extra hard to prove herself

Why is an award designed to invite more girls & women into the industry entitled

Trainee FisherMAN of the Year
