Featured Touring Scotland Here We Come

I wasn't aware of any of that @ajc400 I'll think about it if you think my trips worthy, cheers.

 

Right, no promises but I will try and add some pictures NOT previously used but obviously the odd one may slip in.

 

Scrabster ferry check-in

 

A bit of Lidl shopping at Kirkwall



Them shoes were great and I thought, if I can't fit them in for the ride home at £2.50 I'll just give them away or bin them.

 

Kirkwall by night.

 

Looking east from Orkney one morning

 

Surf meets cloud.

 

Thanks Joe.
She was rubbing her left palm but there was nothing to see, probably slapped the floor when she landed.
I don't understand the mentality of the rider and I always do the buddy - buddy bit and give others the once over.

No gloves is just stupid.

 

Muckle Skerry lighthouse in the distance.

 

Miles of roads, just about to yourself, to explore if you get off the beaten track.

 

A cracking little shop and bakery at Finstoon (Finstown).
A healthy lunch break stop .
Latte coffee with Chilli Mackerel and Strawberry yoghurt for pudding... yum

 

The view from the Italian Chapel looking NW.
Imagine living here in winter, pretty exposed isn't it?

 

A view across one of the many lovely beaches, you just need the weather on your side.

 

A few more from Yesnaby cliffs.

 

To the north of the mainland, what we call Orkney they call mainland, as opposed to one of it's islands like say Eday or Sanday, I passed an art gallery.



The wife is a birdwatcher, and with the shops name it twigged my curiosity.
Now some art gets me, and some definitely doesn't, so I was pleasantly pleased with my initial viewing once inside, bearing in mind this was scouting for a gift for her and not to myself.
This one really caught my eye in it's simplicity although bizarrely they called it " solar geese" whereas I'd say it was Gannets.

Initially I was looking at the original full- size version but as I was on the bike, that wasn't going to happen. These stencils were scaled down and offered as cards with envelopes, so I purchased a few options which would hopefully tick her box
