Cuillin Ridge
The Cuillin Ridge, deep inside a soaking mist
Rock slick & gleaming, water driven upwards
By roar & whip crack of the wind.
Ride the Ridge like a great dark horse,
Fingers tangled in the mane,
Balanced on the spine
Feeling your way, subtle, careful

Thereโs lots of positive reaction to the new book, which is obviously appreciated. Iโm looking forward to the launch event at Pittodrie tonight. And I can sit back and watch Neil being interviewed by Richard Gordon - two masters at work!

I am really enjoying listening to the great new double album from the @the_bluebells1 in lovely blue vinyl. Highly recommended.

Bluebells
Bluebells carpet the woodland floor... Their beauty unlocks a woodland door
Nature now has all its beauty brought To the fore before summer casts its spell Delicate bluebells making spring so fine Their time on earth far too short.

A lovely walk yesterday to Dun Suledale and the trig point thereafter. Great views in very good weather. The distance was between 7.5 and 8 miles.

Immersive audioโvisual displays flash with colour and storytelling, pulling together centuries into focus.ย ย
The standout is the Runrig Exhibition, a richly curated tribute carrying real emotional weight and a strong sense of cultural pride.
