There are not enough hours in days like today to get around the places you know will look glorious, so we went for a jaunt in the Pentlands ridiculously overdressed - us that is - although the same description could be applied to the trees.

The Party's Over - at sunset last night Scots gathered to wave a fond farewell to our festival guests - looking back over their shoulders they could see a message written in ancient Celtic Fireoglyphics - Haste Ye Back (but BYOB)

Sun behind Dugald Stewart & Nelson mons last night with Forth Bridges as background. High cirrus clouds made exposure difficult so will try again on a clearer night - a compelling view requires worrying a bone until really chewing into the marrow for photography satisfaction.
