Castle Hill Henge, Muir of Ord, is now the 13th green on the golf course .... I can only imagine the original neolithic builders would question it's current use as much we question their design .... #TombTuesday ?

Today's #Cairngorms forecast was quite simply one word ..... 'overcast' ...... #LochGarten this lunchtime.

Claverhouse's Stone #Killiecrankie ... ... a stone with stories, some told here on The Megalithic Portal Ancient Sites & Stones megalithic.co.uk/article.php?si…

#StandingStoneSunday

So many wonderful photos in this latest album by the late Bruce Adams. Most have labels, this one doesn’t - can you help identify this stone circle near Aberdeen? #StandingStoneSunday More 1/

Above Loch Etchachan today. Turned out better than forecast, a grand day out. #Cairngorms

An amazing carpet of Bluebells at Dùn Ollaidh. Known in Gàidhlig as Bròg na Cuthaig (the cuckoo's shoe), as the flower appears at the same time of year as the cuckoo. #Gàidhlig #Land #Oban

OATS' #volunteers were out in force again this week. Over 2 days they cleared drains, dug ditches and cleared path surfaces on the #CoireChash and #DubhLoch paths near #LochMuick . Big thanks to @BalmoralCastle&Estate, their #Rangers & The #Jumbo !
Cairngorms National Park

Unfortunately we’ve had two recent incidents of damage at our Muir of Dinnet NNR and we're appealing to visitors to please follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. Thanks Police Scotland, Cairngorms National Park rangers & local land managers for swift action: orlo.uk/7XA2e

European beavers were only reintroduced to the #Cairngorms six months ago and they already have a path ... #FingerpostFriday Fingerpost Friday

Tad blowy and choppy off the #Nairn coast this evening ... out with NKC for the first 'summer' evening paddle.

Perfect wild camp last night.

Always remember to Leave No Trace.

More brilliant work by volunteers as part of the 'It’s Up To Us! – An Teallach' project. Great to be able to support this project with Outdoor Access Trust for Scotland and Mountaineering Scotland

🥾Mountain paths lead us safely & sensitively into high places - but are badly eroded. With funding & land ownership loopholes to navigate, Chris Townsend reports from An Teallach where he meets those picking up the pieces.

The Gaelic for marsh marigold is lus buidhe bealltainn, meaning ‘the yellow plant of Beltane’.

In the Highlands, its flowers were put above doorways or tied to horses’ tails to ward off evil spirits during this traditional festival of fire and renewal.

Happy Beltane! 🌞

Avielochan near Aviemore in the #Cairngorms is thought to be the site of two Clava Cairns; one easy to see & to the SE 'a circular bank of stony material' #TombTuesday . More pics The Megalithic Portal Ancient Sites & Stones here megalithic.co.uk/article.php?si…
