Grünes Gras, ein paar Steine am Wegesrand, eine kleine Quelle: Ein Arm ragt aus einem Hügel hervor, und eine Hand hält eine Flasche, aus der Wasser in einen Zinkeimer fließt – gefunden 2017 auf den Hebriden, Lewis.

Green grass, a few stones by the side of the path, a small spring: an arm protrudes from a hill and a hand holds a bottle from which water flows into a zinc bucket – found in 2017 on the Hebrides, Lewis.

Hype for the Future 74C: The Scottish Highlands

Introduction The Scottish Highlands, though historically most infamous for the Highland Clearances, have also resulted in the significant tradition of the Highland Games, for which the Highland Games of Antigonish, Nova Scotia, represent the first Highland Games abroad thanks to the Scots diaspora in the region of what is now Atlantic Canada. Though Lowland Scots have also been involved to lesser extents in settling the territories associated with Canada, the Scottish Highlands continue to […]

Hype for the Future 74B: The Hebrides

Introduction Off the west coast of the constituent country of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 within the United Kingdom, the associated islands can contain dramatic scenery and significant natural views and beauty. While the Inner Hebrides are already relatively notable for scenery, especially when associated with Ross and Cromarty, the Outer Hebrides may represent some of the most dramatic scenery in all of not just Scotland, but perhaps also all of the European continent, with […]

Good to see the Hebrides on that list, although there's a lot more than lobster rolls to enjoy on Scottish islands!

Hype for the Future 73D: L’Anse aux Meadows

Introduction The Vikings and the associated settlements, though largely identified as having originated within the region now known as Northern Europe and Scandinavia, have since expanded from the modern nations of Norway and Sweden east into Finland and Russia, though only barely so, but more importantly, south and west into Denmark, Scotland, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, and, finally, Newfoundland. Old World or New World? Prior to 1492, the regions that the Vikings had settled […]

Oidhche Challain: No admission without a rhyme

Happy Old New Year!

After the 1750 Calendar Act changed the date of New Year’s Day, some Gaels – to make sure they didn’t miss it – chose to celebrate both. Dr Dòmhnall Uilleam Stiùbhart discusses the once ubiquitous Highland tradition of Oidhche Challain:

#FotoVorschlag 'Flughafen'

Barra, Äussere Hebriden, Schottland, Juni 2019.
Der weltweit einzige Flughafen an einem Strand der für Linienflüge genutzt wird. Ziemlich abenteuerlich, gezeitenabhängig und mit viel Improvisationstalent.

Ebbe in der Bucht bei Seilebost, Harris, Schottland: Das verbliebene Wasser in den Rippeln leuchtet in den unterschiedlichsten Blau-und Grüntönen, die höheren Stellen sind dunkler, fast blau-schwarz. Im Hintergrund ein Sandstreifen vor Dünen, auf die das Sonnenlicht fällt. Winzige Silhouetten, Menschen, die dort spazierengehen. Und die Hügel von North Harris, über denen Regenwolken hängen. 

Low tide in the bay at Seilebost, Harris, Scotland: the remaining water in the ripples glows in various shades of blue and green, while the higher areas are darker, almost blue-black. In the background, a strip of sand in front of dunes bathed in sunlight. Tiny silhouettes, people walking there. And the hills of North Harris, with rain clouds hanging over them.

an older Peter May murder set on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer . Perfect story to burrow into (aka escape to) during the festive season.

The spectacular view east from remote Reinigeadal on Harris in the Western Isles towards the Shiant Islands. The view looks down on an inlet from the sea with a house on the far side of it. There are several islands towards the horizon. The weather is good and the sun is sparkling off the sea.

One of those classic views, albeit with a hazardous scrabble along sea-washed cliff-bottom boulders to get to it. Mealt Falls and Kilt Rock on Skye, one of those places with seemingly endless photo-ops.

A view across the sea from a rocky foreshore across a bay to some columnar cliffs with a spectacular waterfall cashing down them.
