A great example of community during covid: @Isle20Shop now has over 300 island businesses from Arran to Unst and everywhere in between. There's a huge range of crafts, from soap to glass (to modern Harris Tweed bags...) and your support really helps folk get through.

I've been spending a lot of time exploring human habitation of the Flow Country World Heritage Site this winter.
There's 185 shieling sites (mapped) across the area and I've used historical records to find a total of 586 shieling huts. This is only recorded shieling huts.

1/2 I have some thoughts on this "lost village", it wasn't lost or abandoned but cleared of its people, culture, & knowledge. Nestled on the coast of Loch Eynort people were removed by The MacAskills, this event is recorded..

Carloway FC on Lewis have faced many challenges since 1933, as recorded in a new book by Eachainn and Graeme Miller. But, backed by local stalwarts, former Scotland legend, Ronnie Mackinnon, and visits from Gothenburg Greats, they've survived and thrived!

If you don’t fix the housing – if you don’t go all in on supporting the ­vernacular ­language and culture – then you will drain every last bit of generational ­crofting and fishing expertise out of the Highlands and Islands. It's me in the @ScotNational 👇 https://t.co/Kn6oKRg8Pf
