The cover of a book called 'Glasgow Uncovered 18 walks through its past, present and future' held up against the Glasgow skyline.

Today felt like a day to up early and get out of Glasgow for a bit, so I headed up to Loch Lomond for some much overdue canoeing. If you're from Glasgow, it's easy to forget that not every city has such spectacular scenery quite to close ot it!

We are glad you enjoy our landscapes. And it's certainly true that #Scotland can be jaw-droppingly beautiful.

I will suggest the strapline to #VisitScotland but I can't guarantee they'll run with it ...

The Thalassa (Tall Ship) makes a welcome return to Lochranza on a beautiful sunny day.

There are few sounds that make my flesh really crawl on this planet - but the tunes of Scottish #bagpipes is indeed something I cloud listen to for hours, being simply overjoyed and calm...

"I play the tunes for my brothers and Glen
The woods of my childhood call me again
For the colours of freedom so far I did roam
Cause I'm the piper and I coming home"

(GRAVE DIGGER, "Coming Home")

A man in traditional Scottish regalia, including a black feathered hat, detailed jacket, and red tartan kilt, plays bagpipes on a sidewalk. Behind him, a store window displays various items like scarves and a mannequin dressed in a beige coat. The building's architecture features distinct stone work and tall, rectangular windows.

A bagpiper in traditional Scottish attire stands against a stone wall next to a white-framed window. He wears a black feather bonnet, a tartan kilt with a matching plaid draped over his shoulder, and a dark doublet with decorative silver buttons and badges. He plays a set of bagpipes, featuring prominent drone pipes and a red and black fabric cover. His look is completed with red and green tartan hose and black shoes, while a sporran hangs at his waist.

June, the season of bracken and foxglove.

Narrow cobblestone street leading up to a grand, ancient stone castle with flags flying on its battlements, flanked by traditional stone buildings with a blue sky and scattered clouds above. A metal railing runs along the left side of the street, guiding the path of pedestrians walking along the pavement.

Nestled in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, the church, Greyfriars Kirk, was founded in 1620 as the first church to be built in post-reformation Scotland.

It is in this famed graveyard that you will find Tom Riddell, William McGonagall and a certain Robert Potter- the inspiration for some of J. K. Rowling's most famous Harry Potter characters. Rumour has it that the names emblazoned on various headstones in the graveyard inspired J .K. Rowling to create characters of similar names in the wizarding world of Harry Potter.

Aged stone memorial plaque with engraved text commemorating Thomas Riddell Esq. and his family members who passed away in Edinburgh in the 19th century. The text, worn but legible, details names, dates of death, and ages. The plaque is split down the middle with shadows to the right side, highlighting the weathered surface and historical wear.

The towers and turrets of the late Victorian Kelvingrove Art Gallery in Glasgow rising above the trees of Kelvingrove Park in the city's West End, and doing their best to make it look like a fairytale castle surrounded by an enchanted forest.

Located in Edinburgh’s Stockbridge neighborhood, Circus Lane is a charming cobblestone street. The street is lined with several Georgian and Victorian-style mews houses, many of which feature colorful doors and flower boxes.

The area of Circus Lane is mostly residential and could once be considered a hidden gem. However, in recent years Circus Lane has gained popularity with photographers and Instagrammers as it is a perfect place for photos that capture the historic charm of Edinburgh.

Cobblestone street lined with traditional stone houses, some covered in climbing plants, leads toward a church tower in the distance. Potted plants and small gardens enhance the quaint, greenery-filled scene.

White door with the house number 29 on a street of connected old stone houses, decorated with pink roses growing on a trellis and potted pink hydrangeas. The door is half-glass with a brass mail slot, adjacent to a window with similar styling, under an overcast sky.

Dean Village in #Edinburgh is always worth a visit - and even if you look around, there are plenty of sceneries worth painting (and dying for). This is yet another one!

Old stone building with multiple windows overlooking a calm river, surrounded by lush green trees. Gothic spires visible above the treeline in the background.

Even after seeing it for the second time, you sometimes need a #potterhead do draw the conclusion that #VictoriaStreet in #Edinburgh looks quite similar to #DiagonAlley in #HarryPotter. By all means this scenery is always worth a visit and once you step down the stairs, you will definitely reach the world of #HarryPotter as you'll find the museum or #TheElephantHouse where at least some parts of the Harry Potter-universe were initially created!

Cobblestone street bustling with pedestrians, lined with brightly colored buildings in shades of blue, pink, and red on the left. On the right, traditional stone buildings under a cloudy sky, marked by a historic brown stone structure with gothic architectural features at the end of the street. Banners decorate the street above, and a crowd queues in front of a cafe on the left.

It's always nice to see a book you've written in the window of a bookshop! In this case, it's my recent one, Glasgow Uncovered, in the window of Bigglestones on Glassford Street in the Merchant city area of the city.
