In messing about with the V & A building photos I forgot about My Favourite Thing in Dundee.

LEMMINGS!

Oh how I loved that game.

#photography #Scotland #retroGaming

A photo of the Lemmings statues in Dundee. It is a stone pillar with a brick laying bridge building lemming at the bottom, a climber half way up, and one at the top looking into the distance, holding on to the peak of the top stone. It is lovely. Behind it you can see public gardens, with some pink flowers, a mini bandstand and tall palm tree.

I am one of very few female drystone wallers in Scotland & the world. Below are some things I've worked on. I am very often inspired by traditional drystone structures like planticrus and sheep stells and enjoy bringing their beauty and functionality into our modern lives.

For more nerdy stone stuff...

Revisiting the memorial stone of the ‘last woman burned as a witch’ in Scotland in film and archival photos. (‘Janet Horne’ probably never existed but her myth persists because there were so many like her whose lives and deaths went unrecorded.)#AshesAndStones #ScottishWitches #Scotland #ScottishHighlands #FolkHorror #FeministHorror #WomenInHorror #SheWill #JanetHorne #ModernAntiquarian #Witch

An antique photograph in grainy black and white of a rural location. A well dressed family of a woman and three children, two boys and a girl all stand in back of a weathered stone in the ground, a small boulder which is now called the 'Janet Horne' memorial stone. Legend has it this spot represents the location where the 'last witch' was killed in Scotland. A long stone building and piles of lumber are in the background.

No other beach in the whole world is that beautiful ...

Picture showing the beach in Durness, Scotland (coordinates 58.57°N 4.75°W).

Standing on the high level entrance to the beach, a brown scenic sign with white letters shows "Award Winning Beach" (I love Scottish humor!). It is a beautiful day, blue sea and mostly blue sky, but some grey clouds are hanging around. Ok, it is a really northern part of Scotland.

In the background the really beautiful beach stretches to the horizon, righthand is the Atlantic Ocean, in the water on the beach are lying several big rocks, like up to five meters high. On the left is the smooth, but rocky landscape. On the beach a few people are wandering through the sand.

Strong winds, especially when combined with steep and unstable edges, significantly increases the risk of falling off cliffs when visiting coastal regions.
