I’m old enough to remember when Peter Murrell of the SNP used to do this……. You’re making a rod for your own back.

Outdoor recreation won’t change the world or solve all society’s ills. But a wee bit of investment will be highly visible, will bring joy and better health to a lot of people and will boost the rural economy. What’s not to love?

Great initiative!

I had hoped to avoid politics on my @bsky.app account but alas I find myself being drawn back in ……

Balgy Gap Shows Something is Missing from Scotland’s Energy System The privatisation of Scotland's power has proved a failure

So we can’t:
1) repeatedly protest against climate change.
2) repeatedly protest against the demonization of migrants.
3) repeatedly protest against the gov of Israel systematically destroying a people & the land they live on.

Watching the morning political shows.

What a binfire this country has turned into….

Utterly depressing.

Blimey 👀

This Israeli government decision to host Tommy Robinson will widen the growing gulf between the Netanyahu government and the British public, including the broad majority of Jews in Britain (3/4 of whom dsapproved of Netanyahu, before this new link to this anti-Muslim racist UK far right convict).

The Former Free Church in Skerray has gone on the market. It's a little "tin tabernacle" church, constructed by the local Free Church congregation in 1903 after they left their building in Strathy when it became a United Free Church.

It seems to be this week's historical building theme - tin tabernacle churches. This time, the church is in Scotland and, if you have the funds and inclination, you can buy it as it's up for sale! ⛪

Drove past there a year or so ago. It’s quite a trek to get too and all single track but a lovely spot.
Not for the faint of heart

Very sad but imagine coming to the end of your life after doing so much.
Most of us can only dream of having such a fulsome and inspirational life.

Quite the statement of intent

Shortbread and whisky tonight?

“Stupid rules of engagement”?

We can’t carpetbomb Iran today. We’ve worked our statutory 37 hours a week and we’re all on a team building trip in Florida this weekend”

What’s a “politically correct” war?

“Nuke the they/them-f**kers!”?
