The dancers were out again last night. Less ordered, less bright (when I was watching) but at times they filled the entire sky and at times emanated directly overhead. 2 nights in a row, just extraordinary. #merrydancers #easterross #scottishhighlands #auroraborealis

An act of civil positivity. Bravo. Up a side street in the small coastal village of Portmahomack lives this handsome beast. Most of the full time residents don’t know it’s here! #dragoninahedge #easterross

A topiary dragon carved out of a boundary hedge. An absolute delight.

Happy Christmas. #easterross #scotland

The Christmas tree outside the Carnegie Hall in Portmahomack. Do my American followers know that billionaire USA industrialist Andrew Carnegie donated nearly his entire fortune to building libraries and town halls in many, many Scottish villages?

The superb glass-encased Shandwick Stone, standing in a magnificent location overlooking the sea near Shandwick in Easter Ross. This 2.7m high Pictish cross slab dates back to the 800s and occupies its original position. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/bal

The superb glass encased Shandwick Stone. The image shows a diagonal view of a large glass box wrapped around light blue-grey internal metal supports. This largely fills the left-hand two thirds of the frame. Inside it is a large Pictish carved stone with one highly decorated face visible. A fence surrounds the box and in the background the ground slopes away to the sea which is visible in the middle right of the frame. The scene is in sunlight.

The Port. The seafront cottages glowing in the late afternoon sun as cloud begins to build behind the village. #easterross

With the tide as far out as it reaches, the wet sand reflects the seafront houses.Couldn’t choose between colour and black and white so posting both!
