Something a little differant this week, North Third, Stirling! HFF and a good weekend to all!

Moine House is a ruined stone cottage in the remote Scottish Highlands of Sutherland, sitting on the vast blanket bog of A' Mhòine This area forms part of the Flow Country, one of Europe's largest peatlands. The house was built in 1830 as a halfway refuge for travelers crossing the difficult moorland between Loch Eriboll/Loch Hope and the Kyle of Tongue. Before the road, traversing the bog was a major obstacle—impracticable for most except hardy locals, often taking a full day of toil. The first proper road across the 14-mile morass was constructed at the sole expense of the Marquess of Stafford (later Duke of Sutherland), with the house serving both as shelter for weary travelers caught in bad weather and as a modest family home.

The Skye Museum of Island Life is a fascinating open-air museum located in Kilmuir on the Trotternish Peninsula of the Isle of Skye, Scotland. It preserves and showcases traditional Highland crofting life from the 19th and early 20th centuries, offering an authentic glimpse into a way of life that was rapidly disappearing.Opened in 1965, the museum features a collection of historic thatched cottages (typically around seven or eight buildings) reconstructed or preserved as an old township. Each cottage represents different aspects of island life, including:A traditional croft house A byre (cow shed) A blacksmith's forge (smithy) A weaver's house A stable A post office or shop A ceilidh house (for gatherings and storytelling) HBM and a great week to all!

Amhuinnsuidhe is a remote settlement on the west coast of the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. The name translates roughly to "sitting by the river" or "river seat," referring to its position beside a river that flows into the sea.It's most famous for Amhuinnsuidhe Castle, a stunning 19th-century baronial-style country house (often called a castle) built in 1867–1868 for the Earl of Dunmore. Designed by architect David Bryce, it's a Category A listed building, It has a Dramatic location overlooking Loch Leosavay, with views toward the island of Taransay and beautiful white-sand beaches (including nearby Hushinish). HWW ! a large view recommended!

A bench around the base of The Isle of Whithorn Light (also known as Isle Head Lighthouse or locally as The Cairn) is a small, historic navigation beacon located on the headland at the tip of the Isle of Whithorn, a picturesque coastal village in Dumfries and Galloway, southwestern Scotland. This is one of the most southerly points in Scotland, overlooking the Solway Firth and the Irish Sea. The structure is a distinctive square, white-painted stone tower, roughly 4 meters (about 13 feet) tall, with a modern lantern on top. It serves as a light beacon for mariners, characterised by a flashing white light (with red sectors) every 3 seconds and a focal height of around 20 meters. Historians suggest the original structure dates back possibly to the medieval period or before the 18th century, originally perhaps featuring a fire lit on the roof for basic navigation. HBM!

A day of Sun and showers ended with a brief but spectacular sunset

It's a peaceful, scenic spot — less crowded than some other Scottish coastal towns — ideal for relaxing, boating, exploring Argyll's scenery, or as a base for whisky trails and island hopping. Often described as one of Scotland's most attractive wee harbours! Also known as the gateway to Kintyre! HWW ! and a large view recommended!
