The remarkable "firehoose" at Kirbuster Museum on Orkney's West Mainland. This part of the farmstead dates back at least as far as 1595, and the smoke from the peat fire simply makes its way out of a hole or "lum" left in the roof. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

The "firehoose" at Kirbuster Museum on Orkney's West Mainland. The image shows the interior of a stone farmstead. There is a fire and grate in the centre of the floor, set against a short and low stone wall. Wooden furniture is set around the walls and light is coming from the roof. A rope above the fire is uses to suspend fish to cure.

This modern image shows part of Cairnryan in Galloway. A road crosses the frame from the bottom left corner to the lower right. On its near side is a grassy area that fills the bottom right of the frame. On the far side of the road is a line of houses and cottages mainly finished in white, with some houses on a higher level at the near end. Behind the buildings is a wooded hillside. The sky is blue. The front cover of ‘Friend or Foe?’ is shown in the top right corner.

A wintry view of the single track road east from remote Achiltibuie, north-west of Ullapool. The prominent peaky mountain is Stac Pollaidh whose character is out of all proportion to its mere 613m or 2,009ft in height. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

A wintry view of the single track road east from remote Achiltibuie. The image shows a road leading out from the centre of the bottom of the frame with a passing place sign to its left. The road disappears over a hum, leaving snowy land extending out to the start of mountains, which climb to a spiky peak in the top left of the frame and are covered in snow. The scene is in sunlight.

In AD 871, two Viking kings successfully laid siege to a fortress on Dumbarton Rock near Glasgow ⚔️

1,100 years later, archaeologists unearthed artefacts at the site which could be connected to the siege, including an iron pommel-bar for a Viking sword: www.digitscotland.com/top-five-arc...

The ferry slipway and the village of Baile Mor on the enchanting, magical, island of Iona, just off the south-west tip of the Isle of Mull. Pilgrims have been coming here for nearly fourteen centuries and tourists for three. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

#Scotland #Iona #IsleOfMull
The ferry slipway and the village of Baile Mor on Iona, shown on a sunny day with clear blue skies. In the lower left of the frame is a concrete slipway and a blue and white boat is moored to it, facing away from the camera. It is called Ullin of Staffa. The village is in the background, mainly comprising white buildings, though one is of stone. The land rises in the background.

There are swings on this side of the houses and more buildings on the left. The scene is in sunlight. The front cover of ‘The House With 46 Chimneys’ is shown in the bottom right corner.

Lovely colours over a mirror still Loch Dughaill yesterday morning. I had to hang onto a branch and lean out over the water to get this. It could have gone one of two ways.

The view east from the top of (in our opinion) Scotland's best mountain, Suilven, inland from Lochinver on the west coast of Sutherland. Just 2,389ft high, the name is said to come from the Norse for "Pillar Mountain". More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

#Scotland #Sutherland #Assynt
The view east from the top of Suilven, inland from Lochinver on the west coast of Sutherland. The image shows descending rocky ground in the foreground leading to a narrow neck and then climbing to a sharply pointing peak, which is slightly lower than us. In the background is much lower lying land of stony ground with rivers and lochs. The sunlight is patchy.

This modern image shows the great hall at Eilean Donan Castle, on which that at the fictional Sarclet Castle is based.

There’s a large dining table in the centre of the room and a stone fireplace occupies much of the right-hand wall. Lights are suspended from the ceiling. The front cover of ‘Eyes Turned Skywards’ is shown in the top right corner.
