Just packing to leave and saw a sea eagle across the loch (soz for the cryptid style pic)

If you go to Skye go to the Hungry Gull in Staffin it's incred

Chilly as fuck tho! 🥶

I've made at least 4 (four) Kerrang! jokes today, sorry to all involved

Yours truly, rosy with exposure, with a cliff face in the background

Fantastic last day on Skye walking up on Quiraing (Cuith-Raing) today, amazing weather too

I hope it's over swiftly and easily 💛

Hundreds of thousands to lose heat pump subsidies in Reeves’s budget plan Exclusive: chancellor plans to fund energy efficiency levies via warm homes plan as part of drive to lower energy bills

Oooh thanks, adding it to my knowledge store 🧠

A view up the fairy pools towards the Black Cuillin ridge. With Sgúrr an Fheadain in the middleground (dark grey) and Sgùrr a' Mhadaidh behind it to the right (very dark grey) under a cloudy sky

A small group of mountains on Skye are the remnant of an ancient magma chamber and I think that's neat

The rock is so dark compared to the rest - the peak on the right (Sgùrr a' Mhadaidh) isn't in shadow, it's just that dark
