The Battle of Culblean, fought in 1335, marked a turning point in Scotland's fight for independence. Led by Sir Andrew Murray, the Scots defeated the pro-Balliol forces and secured King David II's future

Murray drew on the wooded slopes and rough ground at Culblean to hide his men, then struck suddenly at David of Strathbogie's force. The sudden assault on difficult ground threw the Balliol army into confusion. Their line collapsed, Strathbogie was killed, and the victory broke the momentum of Edward Balliol's cause and any chance King Edward III of England had of conquering the north of Scotland

This is Braemar weather station in the Cairngorm mountains

This site holds the record for the coldest recorded temperature in the UK, -27.2°C, set on February 11, 1895, and again on January 10, 1982

Fortunately this morning, right in the middle of our Scottish Summer, it's a balmy 11°C!

My guests safety is paramount. I never let them out of the vehicle on the drivers side when visiting Loch Ness. The A82 has a deserved reputation as one of the most dangerous in Scotland.

This guy was standing there for a good few minutes before I started recording 🙈

Some wanderings closer to home in last couple of days. Nice to see flowers left at the gravestone that British soldiers used to prop up Jacobite prisoners too weak to stand for ex*****on.

Also nice to see the Food Hall at the Victorian Market in full swing. It's busy for sure, but the wait is minimal and there's loads of seating. It's been a terrific success story. We had a lovely pizza between 2 of us and that was plenty

Finally, got a chance to see the amazing view on the Foxhole Abriachan road now that the trees have been felled. Just wow 👌

With all the warm weather recently the Highlanders (human and bovine) need to take to the shade.

St. Columba's Isle, Skeabost, Skye

St Columba’s Isle (Eilean Chaluim Chille) on the Isle of Skye is a small but deeply historic place beside the River Snizort near Skeabost. Tradition says Saint Columba visited here in the 6th century while spreading Christianity through the Highlands and Islands.

Later, the island became home to Snizort Cathedral, once the cathedral church of the Bishops of the Isles and one of the most important religious centres in the Hebrides.

Today, its peaceful ruins and ancient gravestones remain, including the resting place of many Clan Nicolson chiefs—a quiet reminder of Skye’s rich spiritual and clan history.

A visit to Boleskine House today and other nearby attractions.

The Boleskine House Foundation have done an incredible job turning around the tragedy of the destruction by fire of this famous residence and constructing an amazing visitor experience.

We also visited Falls of Foyers, The River Foyers and Stratherrick War Memorial
