screenshot from learngaelic.scot. It reads: Dè? Dè thuirt thu? Chan eil thu idir coltach ri Sam Heughan. Chan eil thu cho eireachdail ris. Chan eil thu grànda, tha thu ceart gu leòr ach chan eil thu cho àlainn ri Sam Heughan. What? What did you say? You are not at all like Sam Heughan. You are not as handsome as him. You’re not ugly, you’re alright but you’re not as beautiful as Sam Heughan.

Our recent sighting of a nathair (adder) got us thinking about some fascinating Gaelic folklore.
There’s a traditional saying:

“Thèid nathair tro theine dearg mun tèid i tro dhuilleach an uinnsinn”

The names of our rivers and mountains tell a story older than the state. Pen-y-Fan, Penicuik, Aberdeen, Aberystwyth – these aren’t just words on a map. They’re echoes of the first voices of this land.

A strategy to utilise Scotland’s wind wealth - Bylines Scotland Scotland is advancing in the production of low-carbon power, yet the benefits are currently not felt

"Scotland does not “own” its electricity. Once generated, it enters the UK-wide market and must be bought back at market rates by Scottish users – even if they’re located next to the turbine."

Reconstruction of the Pictish longhouse settlement at Lair, Glenshee, which spanned the C7-10th. The buildings were defined by turf walls, with cruck frames holding up thatched roofs. 📸AOC Archaeology #medievalsky

The Allt Coire na Banachdich threads its way though rocky banks. It's flanked by pasture and its golden grass and green shrubbery. Fences on either side of the small waterfall serve as out-of-bounds markers for the sheep, which we met down on the road. The sunlit mountains are capped with moving, white clouds that reveal blue skies. It's not the longest hike that we will do on Skye, but it's the most intimate. Our Innkeeper recommend a few hikes, all were uncrowded, local gems. And "of coarse you have to do the Fairy Pools ...like everyone else", as he put it.

No Fairies or Crowds

Our Innkeep's recommendation, Eas Mòr, Glen Brittle. Absolutely ticks #StunDay box, all the crowds are at the Fairy Pools. #SkySunday

Looking down Oxbow Lagoon.

Another tree down, it kept its roots intact.

Eastern Painted Turtles out in the sun. The tree limb looks like a turtle with its neck extended.

Eastern Painted Turtles.

Feasgar math folks. Welcome to a new week, I hope you're all having a good Monday. A walk by the lagoon today, a bunch of turtles and two herons, a blue one and a striated or a green one, not sure which. Enjoy your day, stay safe, stay well, stay cool.

I think you need to check your translation.
