5000 year old standing stones on Macharie Moor, Arran. Brewing storm on the horizon. They've seen it all before.


Sunset over Arran. Finally back by the open ocean. Although I've passed near-by at Bristol/ Liverpool/ S. Lake District this was the first time I got back to the 'proper' sea. Good to sleep to the sound of the waves again



Still in England, this was the view as I approached Carlilse early morning




Just over the border in Gretna Green. Scotland used to allow people to get married at a younger age than in England, this was the nearest registery office across the border and scene of many shotgun weddings




This war memorial is just outside Dumfries. I was fascinated by the look on the man's face and the way he seems to be emploring the heavens in bewilderment. Seems to be making a strong statement about the futility and waste of war. What is he thinking or saying..."have we humans still not learnt?"..."have we still not evolved beyond this?"











Temple Wood Stone circle, good energy








This was one of the high roads we rode along, my Dad is in the distance. Felt more like North American back country than part of UK. Shortly before taking this pic, we sat by the road for over an hour and cooked up some lunch- only one car passed us!










Taken this morning from just outside the tent in Mull, the mountain range in the background contains Ben Nevis, highest mountain in Britain

I like the look of that stone circle.
