There's an abandoned mental asylum about 5 mins drive from me. Such an interesting building! There's a development of new houses surrounding it now, I'm kinda jealous of their view.

Today I took a trip to visit The Devil's Pulpit, a steep gorge going down 100ft within the Scottish countryside. It's apparently been used recently as a location set for the TV show, Outlander. A treacherous set of ancient stairs, known as Jacob's Ladder, lead you down into the gorge where you can see the water appears red due to the sandstone. There are waterfalls...

Spent a few days travelling further north around Aviemore and the Cairngorms. As per usual, I've put most of my photos on Instagram, but here's a sneak peak for anyone that's interested in that kinda stuff.

Thanks @dariianity ! I think you follow me already on Insta, but I just started a new profile for shots taken in Scotland. Unimaginatively called @takeninscotland . Feel free to follow. As always, love your photography :)
ellellcee:
Gorgeous! Love the use of the ball!

I was driving past a windfarm today and the sky just looked incredible. I had to stop the car and get out and take a few photos. Inevitably, being in Scotland, I got soaked to the bone by the rain, but the pictures I got made the stop worthwhile I think.

mistress:
wow that's beautiful

A quieter evening for me tonight, chilling out with a glass of wine, perusing the SG website and finding something to watch on Netflix. What's everyone else up to?

@simalia Oh cool, I loved series 5, Hotel, but haven't watched beyond that either. Enjoy :)

@oneone3eight Thanks 😊 It's a shame because on Netflix there are only 5 seasons

Tonight I saw the Royal Scottish National Orchestra perform the music of Star Wars! It was epic! They played all the usual favourites, Imperial March, Cantina Band etc, along with new tracks from Last Jedi and even a specially composed variation of Han and the Princess which John Williams had only finished work on a few weeks ago. I'm still so excited!

ellellcee:
Awesome! Did they also screen the movie at the same time? Those are becoming popular and fun!

@ellellcee Not for this one, this was music from across all of the movies. They're doing that very thing in December for the first movie though. I saw Casablanca and Psycho with a live orchestra, was phenomenal!

I've been trying to take better photographs recently. For a while I'd just been taking pictures of watches (which I collect) and putting them on Instagram (@watchmarshall) . But I've made a concerted effort to take more landscapes and other things of interest. This one was taken at the Kelpies, nearby where I live. I've started a new Instagram account for pictures like this one...

@ellellcee Ha, I didn't take it to sound mandatory, just something I hadn't thought of before. Signed up now (same username) and now uploading some pics.

Does anyone still write letters these days? I've always preferred to write instead of email. I realise it's a dying art, but it just seems a little more exciting getting real mail. I've got a few wax seals I use (yes that's one of mine in the picture), and also tend to use a blown glass dipping fountain pen. I'll probably make a few more...

I actually am very good at it, I practice quite a bit even though I never really send out anything often. I figure it's a good skill to have.

@catgrey Oh cool! I'd love to see sometime if you ever decide to post an example picture :)

If anyone is interested in random pictures of cats and the occasional commentary about how crappy the weather is here in Scotland, feel free to add me on Snapchat. It's probably a good thing I don't work in sales or marketing..
