Now retired from conservation.
My focus is now on painting Scottish landscapes, historic buildings and monuments!

In case you were wondering, I am now an artist!

Stumbled across the spidery, blueish-purple flowerheads of Round-headed Rampion (Phyteuma orbiculare)!! The feeling of discovering a beautiful rare plant quite by accident is one of the best I’ve ever known. It’s everything - just pure, deep, heart-warming JOY 🤌🤩

[Welcome to Fife @welcometofife]

Did you spot Boaty McBoatface sailing out of #Fife yesterday?

[ConservationFis @ConservationFis]

Started walking the #FifeCoastalPath yesterday.
Saw a #6spottedBurnetMoth near #Kincardine & an old boat house at #Culross amongst other things. Quite serene & peaceful. @FCCTrust @welcometofife

Gorgeous colours and patterns!

Gorgeous malachite from Zambia 🖤 #MineralMonday

Cool, can you go inside? I'll need to go back and see this!

Liking the #ladderpinnings

[Dr Tim Meek @TimMeek8]

We might not like the materials but I suspect the motor for lining out (inc the white line) has a much earlier precedent and is retained in humble buildings throughout Scotland.

Thank you @cowdengarden #Dollar for putting up the squirrels!
Hope it will slow down traffic and stop #redsquirrels getting squashed 🤞

Apologies, it's John McNaught

[ConservationFis @ConservationFis]

Copy that @BriRhys What a beautiful book. Love the words, going to start using #glump a gluey lump, right? Loving John McNaughton's artwork too!

@nedcroft is too modest! His book is beautiful and I'm sure this #historian 's talk on #StAndrews & #Golf will be informative and entertaining! Details below.

Nervously following in the footsteps of the remarkable Stephen Proctor I’m speaking at the World Golf Museum in St Andrews next Thursday on 6 July. There will be lots of attractive images on display and hopefully a fun Q&A will ensue. #@WorldGolfMuseum

Piecing together snippets. Mainly variations of madder, with a few slivers of hopi sunflower, reed flower and oak gall.

[ConservationFis @ConservationFis]

Wow, what an awesome discovery. The bone-handled saw looks just like my mum and dad's bread knife!
Good designers, the #vikings 🤣

Millions, yes millions of people have walked past this tree in central London without realising it was being strangled to death. I cycled back to get my Stanley knife and released it ....... the chances are it will make a full recovery. Keep your eye out for others needing rescue
