There seems to have been a drop in the number of butterflies around here this year so this, this morning, was reassuring.

The Solway this evening. There were two men out with haaf nets - a perfect end to a beautiful day.

Carlingwark Loch in #CastleDouglas has produced many prehistoric treasures but it also boasts a medieval claim to fame.

It's said that an iron forge once stood on the S of Fir Island, which was reputedly used by Edward I for shoeing his cavalry horses in 1300 🐎

Behind the distant trees, just at the end of the green field, in a dip, lies the town of Forfar. The Town, like the landscape, hides a secret. Between 1661-1662, Forfar was the site of a Witch Hunting frenzy, the consequences of which, I believe, cast a shadow to this day.

The Yew was regarded as the gentle guardian of the dead and was formerly revered so much in Wales that to cut it down was considered an act of desecration, while to burn any part of it was looked upon as sacrilege 🔥

I have looked without success for the #well at #Brydekirk. Do you, or does anyone else, have a location and/or directions? I would love to see it. Thank you.
