No people. No rain. Just snow, blue skies, and frozen lochs. The Highlands delivered today. Why don't I do this more often? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❄️ #ScottishHighlands

Two men. 33 Years growing up side by side, and we’re still figuring it out. We’ve changed jobs, hairlines and postcodes, but we never stopped choosing each other. Love isn’t loud. It’s steady. It’s staying. ❤️ #valentines

NEW VLOG 👇🏻
Three weeks of storms have finished off what was left of our chicken enclosure roof, so we’re patching it up till the spring. We’re testing a solar generator, recycling cardboard into fuel, and being honest about isolation in the Highlands. 🤯

Still love the quiet. Still love home. 🏡
But I’m learning that too much time alone with my own head isn’t great for me. 🤯
I’m not brilliant at making connections, but that doesn’t mean I don’t need it. 🫣
So this is me acknowledging that something needs to shift, gently, in the right direction. ♥️

Why I’ve Always Exercised Naked | Naked Fox Get more from Naked Fox on Patreon

In 2000, I combined my love of naturism with my passion for teaching fitness.
Over time, it became about far more than training. It helped people move better, feel stronger, and be more comfortable in their own body.

Back where I’d love to live! Our first of what will no doubt be many trips to Edinburgh in 2026. Photo taken from the balcony of my favourite hotel. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

📼 AUTUMN/WINTER 1987 📼
Ollie models the ‘Stayed In All Day’ blanket range. Soft paw-print fleece, effortless side-pose, eyes saying “I’ve done my bit.” 🐶🐾

Not a rainbow.
Not a lens flare.
This is a sun dog.
A companion Sun created when ice crystals bend light high in the atmosphere.
Cold air. Low Sun. Highlands doing their thing.

Before the stills warm and the day begins, the Highlands put on a show. Fire in the sky 🔥 and purity in the water from the melted snow ❄️ That’s why our local whisky is the best! 🥃

YouTube video by Foxes Afloat This Did Not Go to Plan 😂

Just one moment from several days trapped by heavy snow in the Highlands. ❄️☃️🥶
He’s fine. His pride took a little longer to recover. 😂

YouTube video by Foxes Afloat Cut Off By A Blizzard For 5 Days, Our Croft Buried In Snow.

Watching this back, it’s strange how quickly “normal” disappears.
Five days snowed in, no road access, and the slow realisation that we were properly cut off.
This vlog is simply what those days were like.

Early-morning walk, and feeling lucky to wake up to views like this. A pink sunrise over the snow-covered east coast of Sutherland.

YouTube video by Foxes Afloat Cut Off By A Blizzard For 5 Days, Our Croft Buried In Snow.

Cut off by a blizzard for five days in the Scottish Highlands. 🥶
Snow drifts over a metre deep, no road access, and the croft buried. ❄️
This video is a quiet, honest look at what those days were really like.

You might want it. ♥️

Calm, meet chaos.

To live with this view is a dream come true. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿♥️

One for the size queens...📏

Snapped this earlier today at the loch. ❄️
The cloud formation looked spectacular, almost out of a horror movie. 🫣 The photo doesn’t do it justice. What causes that? 🤔

The Highlands reminding you it’s pretty, but doesn’t mess about.

YouTube video by Foxes Afloat It’s Over a FOOT DEEP and STILL Snowing! 🥶 #shorts #snow #snowfall

It started snowing three days ago and just won't stop! ❄️☃️ (It's squashed our chicken enclosure, but the hens are okay) 🐔

YouTube video by Foxes Afloat Before and After the Highland Snowfall ☃️ #snow #scotland #highland

A thick blanket of snow is already covering the croft, and it’s not forecast to stop for another few days. ❄️☃️🥶 Proper winter! 👍🏻
