My images and stories from Scotland.
We are both Scots, I hail from Aberdeen, the town of my birth and Lossiemouth, our home town; my lovely lady Jo is originally a Gourock lass, we met on the wonder that was the internet.
We moved back home to Scotland in 2022, to a very rural location which we now absolutely love. The walks, the wildlife, the sky.
As an amateur photographer I am making the most of every moment I can, I am out walking or wandering our “patch” as often as possible, almost always with a camera.
This is where I’d like to share memories of those wanderings and musings.
I no longer do mainstream (anti)social media, it is ruining our lives!

I have started using PeerTube to share my time lapse videos and any birds / wildlife clips I can make, I’d love it if you have a look some time.

I stopped wearing socks you know …
🙂 A few years ago now so why mention it? I opened my sock drawer this morning by accident, I’m old and not paying attention and wondered why I still have it / them. Several years back I discovered barefoot footwear, even Five Finger for a wee while, but even when wearing my favourite Vivo…
Reality in the modern world?
I found this to be an excellent read and maybe more of us should be taking note, making little changes?
Work to Live Pt.6 – Down by the seaside
My two buddies and I were now based at HMS Daedalus in Lee-on-the-Solent on Hampshire’s South coast, directly opposite the Isle of Wight. I had been here before. Not at Daedalus itself but Lee, when my dad was here doing exactly the same course at the same establishment. In a previous post I mentioned living…
Work to Live Pt.5 – Darkest Cornwall
Joining a new ship or establishment has a set requirements that you must adhere to, as does leaving. You don’t just turn up, where would you sleep? There are spaces or messes that are usually available for those drifting in …. I had to dredge through my old grey matter for a few moments then…
Work to Live Pt.4 – Leave
Hello again if you’re still following my life saga and thank you for being here, I’m thoroughly enjoying writing all of this down, it usually flits through my mind in unrelated segments, often totally out of context and for the most part, makes me smile. Going on leave or holiday after such a short time,…
Work to Live Pt.3 – In the Navy!
Once again, thank you for the feedback and support for writing this, it’s a little cathartic sprinkling all these memories and emotions onto these pages. I think I’ve been smiling quite a bit as I have been writing, good memories, for the most part 🙂 As I said before, I had signed up for three…
Work to Live – Starting a career.
Thank you to everyone for your comments on my life Pt. 1 🙂 I’ve had the thought around doing this for some time and I think it might be quite uplifting putting it all down on e-paper 🙂 That and jogging my memory as well as cataloguing some aspects of my life that I may…
Work to live?
I was born in Aberdeen in Scotland, I wasn’t aware of that at the time and I was raised in Lossiemouth so that’s where my memories of life began. My dad joined the RN so we had a few shifts around the country and, up to a point, it was great but when it came…
Doldrums?
Doldrums – for us? Doldrums – Where does it come from? (Anyone else been feeling it recently? Just me? I think it’s mostly to do with the near constant poor weather we’ve been having and ………. I dropped my go-to lens, the one I take on just about every single walk. Devastated to say the…
Green sky at night?
Good evening/morning all 👋 It’s 22:15 here in the wee corner of Perthshire and we’re in bed but, the sky was clearing earlier so I’ve set up a camera to capture any potential Aurora there might be. 22:10, I checked my Aurora app and lo and behold, there’s an Aurora already showing 😍 I got…
