He was a lovely gentle mischievous soul, one of the many characters who make the Highlands & Islands sing with their individuality and presence. He passed away in F.W. some years ago, and is greatly missed by all of us who had the privilege of knowing him. A true gentleman of the road. 3/3

My dad knew Jimmy really well, and I'd got to know him too, so if I spotted Jimmy on the road I'd stop for a blether. Or if I only saw the bike & no Jimmy I'd check the hedges to make sure he was ok. Iain Thornber wrote a warm & insightful piece on him in the Oban Times, this is an excerpt: 2/3

Highland Characters
Posted a few of these before, but have scanned another couple I think it's well worth posting.
The late James MacDonald, also known affectionately locally as 'Jimmy The Tramp' who lived latterly in a wee caravan at the end of Loch Eil, near Fort William, Scotland. (1982) 1/3

If you do get one of these for Christmas please be a responsible owner and pick-up after them.

Hard core beyond the row of lights 😉

This one was taken 3 years ago today. One of my faves, as it was mostly lit by the moon.

Fishing techniques?

They've had a row.

Thanks for the update.

In Embra just now, so missing the view 😎

And that coffee awaits whenever you two fancy it...

All quiet on the western front this morning.

A Thin Place...

'Cobbled Bridge' by Trevor Grimshaw (1947-2001).

A quick re-introduction for the many new people joining Bluesky recently...

I'm a photographer based in the Scottish Highlands working on long term projects which often explore social landscapes & everyday places.

Oh and I'm a publisher too - the founder & editor of @anotherplacepress.bsky.social

Sheds.

Engine sheds. Potting sheds. Garden sheds. Wood sheds. Bike sheds. Boat sheds.

Another date for your diary- an exhibition at Turner House Penarth with Lee John Phillips about our shared love of sheds; open Jan the 15th; evening reception on the 16th.

More details soon!

Nice to stumble across this again Jon.

This is the photo I'm known for *over there*- Capel Rhiw in Blaenau Ffestiniog.

"I waited 18 months to photograph this scene, after spotting it in March last year and not having the right lens with me. Blaenau Ffestiniog on Sunday."

And you - P&L

Holiday Spirit.

Even rocks are feeling existential angst just now

Morning light. 24th December, 2025.

Some of my wood engraving prints on their way this week to N. America, mainland Europe, Scotland, England and here in Ilkley.

You too.

The nearest engraving I have made appropriate to a winter holiday greeting card: Schiehallion in the central Scottish Highlands. Have a good one!

All about the model in that one (me), nothing to do with the photographer (Lynn) 😉

Blushing and mumbling... 😎
