A new report finds that tourists used the Scottish #Highlands as a “toilet” more than 6,000 times last year. Rangers also recorded rising numbers of blackwater toilet waste dumping and unsafe camp fires.

Thank you, #NC500 and #overtourism.

#Scotland

Das Bild hält den Moment fest, an dem ich mich gefragt habe wieso ich eigentlich nicht schon eher Schottland bereist habe.
Auch wenn ich es schon seit Jahren vorhabe, hat mich bisher immer etwas davon abgehalten. Doch wieso eigentlich? Wieso steht man sich selbst so oft im Weg?

▴ Þórsmörk

Photo of the iconic Fimmvörðuháls trail linking Þórsmörk (Thórsmörk) and Skógar. The route leads over the high pass between Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull, thus offering numerous views of meltwater waterfalls cascading over glacier-carved cliffs like these. It’s often hiked as an extension of the popular Laugavegur trail, but also works as a stand-alone route.

I went for a walk, and discovered a polar bear having a pee. 😃

A very life-like model polar bear, standing just inside a shipping container. The bear's stance looks just like it is having a pee in the corner.

Can it be a #SilentSunday if there's singing involved? 🤔

Hype for the Future 100B: Grandfather Mountain

Introduction Largely associated with Avery County, Grandfather Mountain is situated at the highest elevation along the Eastern Continental Divide in the United States of America. Though Mount Mitchell is situated at an even higher elevation, Mitchell is located further west and not along the Eastern Continental Divide in any way. Infrastructure The entirely gated community known as Grandfather is located directly at the centerpiece of Grandfather Mountain in the western portion of the […]

I'd like to revisit Scotland this year in autumn. It should be a mixture of remote work and photography. My requirements are minimal. There must be good internet access, and I would like to be near Inverness. I was thinking about three weeks, four weeks at most. I would be grateful for any tips regarding accommodation.

The sound of the countryside isn't birds chirping in the trees, stags roaring in the hills, or lochs lapping on the shoreline, it is the distant hum of chainsaws.

“When I Roved, a Young Highlander”, illustrated by Currier & Ives, NY

SCENE: Currier & Ives offices, mid/late-19th century

CURRIER: Remember, Lord Byron was mad, bad, & dangerous to know
IVES: Right – I’ll give him a bugle, a mini-kilt, & a shotgun
CURRIER: 👍

#Scottish #literature #poetry #art #illustration #Byron #LordByron #romantic #romanticism #18thcentury #19thcentury #highlands

A hand-coloured lithograph, showing an idealised and youthful Lord Byron amid a jumble of rocks, streams, hills, and trees, and wearing a Highland costume as imagined by someone who has obviously only ever overheard a description of one, in passing: our boy is wearing a cap with two eagle feathers, a chequered neck-cloth, a plaid sash, a brightly coloured yellow, red and green kilt that is much too short, ending well above the knee. This is all accessorised with a ridiculously outsized furry ermine sporran, tartan socks, and little buckled pumps. He holds aloft a (? toy) bugle in his right hand and cradles a shotgun in his left, while looking off into the middle distance to our left. A dead (? or bored) stag lies at his feet and a hunting dog stands beside him. The dog looks frankly disgusted with the whole affair.

The one timelapse I got to work nicely. (I really need to learn that function in daylight...)
