Battered but not broken by the wind in a remote highland glen (which also very accurately describes my very wet day on the tops!). #ThickTrunkTuesday #Scotland #trees #mountains #mountaineering #nature #photography #EastCoastKin
It's hard to believe curlews are for real when they go beak open like this. Highly improbable. #BirdOfTheDay #FabulousWaders, and arguably alt theme #speckled too. #Shetland Islands, #Scotland #birds #wildlife #photography #EastCoastKin
A Corbett less travelled. The summit cairn on remote Sgùrr an Fhuarain, Highlands, #Scotland. #MountainMonday #BlueSkyMonday #mountains #mountaineering #landscape #scape #photography #ECK
A busy bee for #stunday. Aberdeenshire coast, #Scotland. #bumblebee #insects #wildflowers #nature #photography #ECK
These Shetland ponies - or for lovers of folklore, kelpies? - galloped up from the gathering dusk. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekDForDark. On the #Shetland Islands, #Scotland, at midsummer. #stories #folklore #photography #EastCoastKin
There's a puffin for that too: #BirdOfTheDay #EmeraldBackdrop #Shetland Islands #Scotland #puffin #birds #wildlife #photography #ECK
Also a quick puffin for #BirdOfTheDay #RedBeaks. Unst, #Shetland Islands, #Scotland. #puffin #birds #nature #wildlife #photography #ECK
Arctic tern, Northmavine, #Shetland, for #BirdOfTheDay, #RedBeaks. In most places in the British Isles a bird in a harbour will be a gull - in Shetland in June harbour birds were just as likely to be a tern. #tern #bird #nature #wildlife #Scotland #photography #ECK
Swiss Alps, September 2016. Pretty sure this is a view from Balfrin, but very happy to be corrected! #MountainMonday #mountains #mountaineering #Switzerland #Alps #landscape #scape #photography #ECK
Another winter one to cool you down for #MountainMonday. Beinn Dearg (near Ullapool) summit cairn, plateau, and mountains across the glen. North West Highlands, #Scotland. Looks nice but could barely stand in the wind! #snow #winter #mountains #mountaineering #landscape #scape #photography #ECK
Common tern (probably) for #BirdOfTheDay #BlueSky. #Shetland Islands, #Scotland. #birds #wildlife #photography #EastCoastKin
Midsummer, Westside, #Shetland Islands, #Scotland for #TidesOutTuesday. #landscape #scape #sunset #ocean #photography #EastCoastKin
Shetland mouse-ear grows on just two hills on Unst, Shetland, surviving amidst the rare (for the British Isles) serpentine rocks. #RockinTuesday #wildflowers #Shetland Islands #Scotland #flowers #geology #botany #photography #EastCoastKin
Break in the storm, #Cairngorms, #Scotland. Easter 2026. Hard to stand still and even harder to steady a phone camera. Stay cool in the heat! #MountainMonday #mountains #mountaineering #landscape #scape #snow #storm #photography #EastCoastKin
Slate Quarry on Luing, Inner Hebrides, #Scotland, with some of the other Slate Islands on the horizon (not so visible on a phone screen!). #AlphabetChallenge #WeekAforAbandoned #landscape #scape #photography #EastCoastKin
Looking down, landing gear engaged. #BirdOfTheDay #UpAndDown #Shetland Islands #Scotland #puffin #birds #nature #wildlife #photography #EastCoastKin
Shetland wren (yes, apparently a distinct subspecies). #BirdOfTheDay #Rocky #Shetland Islands, #Scotland. #birds #lichen #nature #wildlife #photography #EastCoastKin
Another puffin right out of central casting for #BirdOfTheDay, #Orange. Orange feet, and 100% photogenic. #Shetland Islands, #Scotland. #birds #nature #puffin #wildlife #photography #EastCoastKin
Beech tree and moss for #ThickTrunkTuesday. #trees #beech #moss #forest #nature #photography #EastCoastKin
North face of Beinn Dearg, Northwest Highlands, #Scotland, in April 2026. #MountainMonday #mountains #mountaineering #snow #winter #landscape #scape #photography #EastCoastKin
Muckle Flugga lighthouse, the almost most northerly point in the British Isles (another piece of rock, Out Stack, just round the corner, is actually most northerly, but less photogenic). Hermaness, #Shetland Islands. #scape #landscape #Scotland #photography #coast #ocean #nature #EastCoastKin
Common tern - and they are genuinely common in the #Shetland Islands. #BirdOfTheDay #RedBeakFeetEyes, for which two out of three isn't bad I think... now to see if I have a photo of an oystercatcher for a three out of three... #Scotland #birds #nature #photography #EastCoastKin
Snow, cloud, and sky from Easter in the Cairngorms, #Scotland, for #MountainMonday and #BlueSkyMonday. Stay cool in the heat. #mountains #mountaineering #snow #winter #landscape #photography #EastCoastKin
