  A bit of an overload with the Aurora pictures these last few days but I’ll take it while it’s here! This was at 20:30 last night in Aberdeenshire and by far the brightest display of the week. Half an hour before and fifteen minutes later it was raining…… #Aurora #Aberdeenshire #Scotland

  Something a bit different. This was shot last Wednesday morning just after sunrise from the summit of Càrn na Drochaide in The Cairngorms National Park. It’s taken with a phone so as I pan you can see the familiar “sunspot” on the lens. The high pitched peep that you can hear is the call of a Golden Plover, who kept me company for most of the time I was pitched up…… #CairngormsNP #Scotland

  The 5th of July is traditionally Tynwald Day on the Isle of Man. However, when this occurs on a weekend it moves to the Monday, today. Tynwald Day is the national day of the Isle of Man, with events occuring to mark the anniversary of the longest continuous legislature in the world - since 979. Here are some of my favourite places on the Island. The first image was taken at Cronk Keeill Abban, a former Viking assembly site 🇮🇲 #IsleOfMan #TynwaldDay #EllanVannin

  Two years ago tonight I was fortunate to witness one of the best displays of the Aurora Borealis that I have ever seen. A remarkable sky lit up to the naked eye and made more unique as it was covering most of the southern sky. The first shot is a stitch of around eighteen individual shots in order to fit the whole display into one frame #Aurora #NorthernLights #Aberdeenshire #Scotland

  An overnighter on Wednesday at Loch Callater. Whistling sandpipers and waterfalls full of snow melt the only sounds on a calm clear night #CairngormsNP #Scotland

  Lochnagar and over to The Stuic yesterday. Still lots of snow in the corries. The ptarmigan are now pairing up and getting their spring coats whilst this mountain hare is still in its winter jacket #Lochnagar #CairngormsNP #Scotland

  I went out to try and get a look at the PANNSTARS comet this morning a couple of hours before the sun rose. Unfortunately a low bank of cloud blocked the view. Fortunately, there was a bit of Aurora activity #Aberdeenshire #Scotland #Aurora

  Fresh snowfall over the weekend adding depth and cover to the previous falls. On Glas Maol and Creag Leacach today in the Cairngorms National Park #Cairngorms #Scotland

  As the snow thins out on the higher slopes the Mountain Hares can get back up and have a bite to eat. Their summer coats are starting to appear just in time too. Yesterday near the summit of Creag Leacach #Cairngorms #Scotland

  The Aurora from last night here in the North East of Scotland. Strong activity between 21:30 and 22:30 with the colours visible to the eye. A lot more reds and purples than I’ve seen for a while too #Aurora #Aberdeenshire #Scotland

  Another Aurora shot from Friday night. This is a panorama - seven shots stitched together - to get the full arc. Jupiter is on the left with Castor and Pollux the two stars above it. It might need a tap/click to get the full width of the picture 👍🏼 #Aberdeenshire #Scotland #Aurora
