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 […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/01/13/hype-for-the-future-74c-the-scottish-highlands/
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 […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/01/13/hype-for-the-future-74b-the-hebrides/
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 […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/01/12/hype-for-the-future-73d-lanse-aux-meadows/

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.
Das letzte Lieblingsbild ist vom Strand bei Seilebost: Licht, Farben, Landschaft, einfach überwältigend. Ich wünsche einen guten Start ins neue Jahr und freue mich auf viele Bilder von euch, passt auf euch auf
My last picture is from the beach at Seilebost: the light, colours and landscape are simply overwhelming.I wish you all a happy New Year and look forward to seeing lots of beautiful pictures from you. Take care!

#Reading an older Peter May murder #mystery set on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer #Hebrides. 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. Reinigeadal was inaccessible except by boat or on foot until 1989. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/harris/reinigeadal/index.html

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.
