The Thistle – The Flower of Scotland. The story goes the English were planning to attack a Scottish camp at night. They started to advance on the sleeping Scots but one of the Englishmen crawled into a Thistle and gave out a yell thus alerting the Scots to the coming attack. The Scots managed to gather their wits about them and fend of the attack. From that moment onwards the Thistle has been the national flower.

This may only be a shaky handheld job on my little pocket camera (fujifilm finepix a500) but is one of the three pics I’m proudest of ...ever…. and it still makes my heart lurch every time I see it! It had been six and a half hour walk in and up from sea level to that point and comprised more rock scrambling than I had ever envisaged and a heartstoppingly precarious walk along the ridge. I had carried a small tripod every step of the way but the others waiting wanted to press on with even harder descent and 4 hour return trip so I had no chance to set up…..... / :)) The view looks back over Loch Hourn into the highlands from the top of Ladhar Bheinn, or ‘hoof hill’ ‘one of the finest mountains in Scotland with narrow rocky ridges and spectacular corries’ (Scottish Mountaineering Club Guide). It is 1020m but we had scrambled up and down on the jagged ridge repeatedly so had climbed considerably more. The last snows of the winter look reassuringly solid in this pic but in fact stood proud of the mountain leaving the sheer drop visible beneath. We had sailed into knoydart the most remote penisula on the scottish mainland from Mallaig into the hamlet of Inververie which is inaccessible by road, only by sea or a demanding walk of many miles. It is graced with the fantastic Old Forge pub with superb meals and imprompu nightly ceilidhs which walkers and sailors really enjoy! Deer roamed the gardens and early next morning I got the precious shot of morning gems Looking back in an amazing place For full details see heartbeat ridge Ladhar Bheinn, in the remote scottish knoydart peninsula For an idea of scale see also hey wait for me / See all pics of this stunning area by clicking this link: knoydart

The Buchaille with the remains of an inversion being lifted by the suns heat. I’d been dying to get away with my Canon and let it loose somewhere I am famililar with to see what I can get with it. Having just come off nightshift, I knew that there had been early morning mist recently, getting burned off by the sun fairly quickly. I rose at 3am and hit the road, arriving just as the mist was starting to clear. Canon Eos 5D, 17-40L lens, at 24mm, f22, ISO50, with a 0.9 ND grad (Hard edge) and a polariser (not fully polarised). http://lewisgolbourn.redbubble.com/

Just to the south of Dunfermline’s High Street lies one of Scotland’s most unusual churches. The Abbey Church of Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland is two very distinct churches, joined in the middle. The effect is unexpected but attractive. The Abbey Church, as the name suggests, was the church serving Dunfermline Abbey. A church probably already existed on this site in 1070, when King Malcolm III married Queen Margaret. Margaret liked Dunfermline so much she set up a Benedictine foundation here. This was later transformed by her son King David I into what was intended to become the most important abbey in Scotland. Work was started in 1128 on the Abbey Church and the nave still survives as the western half of the building on view today. During the building of the new Abbey Church in 1819 bones believed to be those of Robert the Bruce, because of their position and because of a cut breastbone (to allow the removal of his heart), were discovered. Robert was reinterred in the centre of the new Abbey Church, 560 years after his death. His grave now lies under the magnificent pulpit covered by a large brass grave marker. And to celebrate his presence the words “KING ROBERT THE BRUCE” were formed with large stone lettering around the four sides of the crown of the tower. Subtle it isn’t, but striking it most certainly is. To the right of the shot is the gothic tower of Dunfermline City Chambers. This building was historically designed to be the centre of local government in Dunfermline. In more recent times most of these functions have been devolved to other locations, but [as of 2008] the impressive edifice still houses the Council Chambers, the Burgh Court and Dunfermline’s Registrar Office. The building, constructed in the period 1875-79, was created by James C Walker who also designed the first Carnegie Library. It employs a harmonious composite of French, Gothic and Scots baronial architectural styles and features a prominent four-face clock tower. It was constructed on the site of an older Town House of 1771 which was in its turn built to replace the 17th century Town House, demolished as part of 18th century improvements to make way for Bridge Street. The structure includes heraldic stones recovered from the demolished 1771 Town House. The finely designed interior of the City Chambers incorporates many notable features, in particular the oak hammer beam roof which provides the ceiling for the Council Chamber itself. The historic police cells, although no longer in use, have also been preserved. Furnishings include a number of notable artworks including busts of several Scottish sovereigns, a statue of Robert Burns, Sir Joseph Noel Paton’s painting, Spirit of Religion, and an early twentieth century portrait of King Malcolm and Queen Margaret.

Apparantly lady’s eardrops is another name for the lovely fuchsia.. which I find hard to do justice to … This is the barely hardy bush variety ‘Celia Smedley’ – it survives in scotland only by (us) taking its pot into a frostfree greenhouse over winter… height and spread 75cm..dainty single or semi-double flowers with greenish white tubes, pale pink sepals and red petals.

The Ross Fountain in West Princes Street gardens with part of Edinburgh Castle (the Hospital block) in the background. Cast near Paris, France in the Durenne ironworks in the early 1860’s. It was an exhibit in the Great Exhibition in London in 1862 and was purchased for Edinburgh by Daniel Ross a local gun maker and philanthropist. After much deliberation as to what to do with it, it was finally assembled in West Princes Street Gardens in 1872. The gold coloured iron structure shows a standing naked woman at the top surrounded by four more seated naked nymphettes representing the arts, science, poetry and industry. Below the first tier are a collection of mermaids. The celebration of the naked female is typical of classical French design, but it wasn’t appreciated by everyone, Dean Ramsay (1793 – 1872) whose church, St. John’s was nearby called the fountain “grossly indecent and disgusting”. The Ross fountain is now a Category B listed structure of historic importance (HB Number 27911) under the care of Historic Scotland. Edinburgh Castle dominates the city of Edinburgh like no other castle in Scotland, and Edinburgh Castle is unequalled in the whole of the British Isles. Over one thousand years of history sit on top of the famous Edinburgh rock. In recent years there have been concerns about rocks falling from the cliffs onto the gardens below, so the rather ugly netting has been draped on the rock face. Hopefully, over time, it will weather enough to be less noticeable. Princes Street Gardens at the heart of Edinburgh’s City Centre were once a lake called Nor’ Loch. The Loch, which had been the trash dump of Edinburgh for centuries was drained in order to improve access from the New Town to the Old Town. Later, the Nor’ Loch was transformed into the beautiful Princes Street Gardens we see today.
