St Monans Windmill, standing above the shore near the beautiful village of St Monans in the East Neuk of Fife. It was built in the late 1700s to pump sea water from tidally-fed reservoirs into coal-fired pans for salt extraction. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/stm…

On our walk near Cardross we met a 95-year-old lady who invited us to visit her woodland garden. It is an amazing place, a wood full of rhododendrons and azaleas amongst tall trees, paths winding through it with bridges across a little burn, wild flowers, beehives, so many things to discover.

With all of the drama and finger pointing around Murell it is easy to forget other things that are happening. In this case the action by the UK government to prevent their proscription of Palestine Action being suspended in Scotland. An interesting report - I was amused at the judges comments on the coherence of the states case. A ruling is expected today (Thursday)

My brother and niece at the top of Ben Nevis today 🙌 He was born in the Shetland Islands, so likes to claim he's Scottish (although having English parents and growing up for the most part in England! 😊) They got to spot a Snow Bunting, so I'm especially jealous! 😁 #snowbunting #birds #scotland

The dark ruins of Torthorwald Castle squat on the horizon, framed by foreboding clouds. A 14th century tower house, on the site of a 12th century motte and bailey predecessor.

After a decade of banning bottom trawling, Scotland’s South Arran Marine Protected Area has seen seabed life triple.

New data shows billions of organisms are returning to the seafloor, rebuilding biodiverse "animal forests" that help store carbon and restore long-lost marine life.

Dr. Q Manivannan, a transgender and non-binary Indian immigrant was elected as a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) for JK Rowling's constituency. They also are not a British citizen, nor even a permanent resident. They were eligible to stand for election as a Commonwealth citizen.

Oh dear don't spread this she might see and get angry!

F&ck TERFS and fascism!

If you live in #Scotland, you’re a Scot.

Which is brilliant.

Everyone is welcome, except fascists and terfs.

Whatever your politics and no matter how much folk might dislike the people of my country or me personally, is it ok for the press to call us filth? Is it any wonder we want to end London rule?
