The spectacular Black Cuillin, seen under menacing clouds from the pier at Elgol on the Isle of Skye. Other places are closer to the main Cuillin ridge, but from Elgol you can look right into the heart of this amazing mountainscape. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

The largest is the Kirkwall Hotel, which is four storeys in height. There’s a fishing boat in the foreground with a blue and black hull and white upper parts. The scene is in sunlight. The front cover of ‘Bloody Orkney’ is shown in the bottom right corner.

I love this sculpture on a wall at the junction of Byres Road and University Avenue in West End of Glasgow. Created in 1993 by Michelle de Bruin and Callum Sinclair, this is the first time I've seen it lit up in a very long time.

Craigievar Castle south of Alford in Aberdeenshire. One of Scotland's best preserved and most authentic tower houses, it was described as a "strange and curious old castle" by Queen Victoria after an unannounced visit in 1879. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

🪬🧿 Edinburgh North Bridge, circa 1904

#edinburgh #northbridge #vintage #sepia #scotland #architecture #history #photography #cityscape #trains #alttext
This vintage, sepia-toned photograph captures a panoramic view of North Bridge in Edinburgh, circa 1904. The bridge itself is a prominent feature, with its intricate lattice-work structure visible underneath the road surface. Trains are seen running on tracks beneath the bridge, adding a dynamic element to the scene. The city skyline is dense and varied, featuring a mix of architectural styles. There are numerous buildings with pointed roofs and spires, characteristic of the period. The structures range in height, creating an uneven yet visually interesting horizon. In the foreground, a park-like area is visible, complete with trees and a small glass-roofed building. The image provides a detailed glimpse into the urban landscape of Edinburgh at the turn of the century.

A touch of the tropics close to the far south-western tip of Scotland. Logan Botanic Garden lies in the Rhinns of Galloway some 14 miles south of Stranraer and is one of the gardens of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Logan Botanic Garden in the Rhinns of Galloway. The image shows a garden, dominated by a cluster of tropical-looking trees with very rough trunks and green growth only at their tops. Another tree, in the left centre of the frame, has pink blossom. There’s a path in the lower left. The sky is blue.

‘Friend or Foe?’ is a fast-paced new thriller set largely in south-west Scotland during World War Two. RAF Wigtown has a central role in the book as the search for a spy builds towards its dramatic conclusion.
Available as a paperback, Kindle, Kobo or Apple:

This modern image shows a view across a cultivated field with green plants appearing above ground. In the lower right of the frame is a windowless two-storey square flat-roofed concrete building with ivy growing up part of it and the floor of a balcony on its left. The sun is coming from the right, leaving the face nearest us in shadow. In the distance the land rises to high rounded hills. The sky is blue. The front cover of ‘Friend or Foe?’ is shown in the top left corner.

In 2018, @coastarch.bsky.social raced against the tide to investigate a submerged prehistoric forest on a beach in Na h-Eileanan Siar (the Outer Hebrides) 🌳

It's one of the many sites in Scotland that are under threat from erosion and rising sea levels: www.digitscotland.com/how-to-help-...

A city at peace in a world at war. ‘The Stockholm Run’ is a fast-paced thriller set in Scotland and Sweden during World War Two. Stockholm’s Grand Hotel, ‘the listening post of Europe’, has an important role.

The image shows a modern view across the harbour of Stockholm’s Grand Hotel at night with a similar 1940s postcard view added in the top left for comparison. The hotel is brightly lit in both photographs. The front cover of 'The Stockholm Run' is shown in the bottom right corner.
