Hi All 👋 My entry for Cee’s FOTD challenge.


Hi All 👋 Freshly back from Glasgow with more shots for LPM’s Reflections Challenge.


Hi All 👋 and welcome to December’s project: Things in Scots. This month I am collaborating with my wife, Susan (? follow this link to see and hear her post), and we’ll be posting mostly daily — Things in Scots (great title eh?).
Fleet dyke (breakwater) is today’s Things in Scots.
Hi All 👋 My latest entry for LPM’s Reflections Challenge.


All the Scots words for these posts are taken from The Concise English-Scots Dictionary, by the Scottish National Dictionary Association. The words chosen will be the generally accepted term, but as in all languages there are regional variations, as well as sub-species variations. For example, an owl is generally known as a hoolet in Scots, but an ool in Shetland & the NE. A barn owl is a white hoolet & a long eared owl, a hornnie hoolet.
As we do these posts, we’re learning as well; so we apologise in advance for any mistakes?
If any of you out there have a burning desire to know the Scots word for anything, please let us know!
Hae a guid day

Hi All 👋 Feel free to join in this weekly challenge whenever you find yourself thinking “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how to).
This week’s Fan Of… is Palms; these plants bring a vibrant splash of green all year round. Owing to Scotland’s climate, palms are not generally found in the wild, so if I’m taking shots of them, I’m either in Glasgow Botanic Gardens, or on holiday somewhere hot & sunny.
