Some of the ramparts of Ardoch Roman Fort, near the village of Braco in Perthshire. With as manay as six distinct lines of ditches and ramparts, it is amongst the most impressive fort remains to be found anywhere in the Roman Empire.

They say (I wouldn't know) that once you're a smoker you're always a smoker.
Well, the old woman with a horrendously bad entitled attitude who pejoratively called me an "English" something on a bridge this afternoon will now always be a racist 'til her dying day, which is some consolation.
20.4yr north of the border and that's the first time I've been on the receiving end of racism. I don't care if you're a woman or an OAP: FUCK RACISM.

Must be coming to the end of the aurora season soon... Fortunate timing. Last stroll of the night was followed rapidly by the first of the morning, this time with camera... :)

Linn of Tummel waterfall
I've seen people canyoning through this in kayaks before now... 'twas good to have the place to myself as the light faded on the day.
