A moss covered bench on the seaward side of Tumpan Church,
Trumpan Church, Isle of Skye, which is probably from 1330s and it lasted until 1578 when the doors were barred and the thatched roof set on fire with a congregation of MacLeods at worship inside, this atrocity by the Macdonald clan was retribution for an attack on clan members on the isle of Eigg
The history and reason for this and the associated clans in these bloody massacres can be read here sobt.co.uk/trumpan-church
Better large in my opinion. ,,,,,, HBM and a nice week!

A section of Dunstaffnage Castle ruins,
The castle is built on an outcrop rock using what appears to be an odd mix of stone, (Large View) I think the colours of the stone in the wall to left are beautiful!.
The castle which was built before 1240 has a very defensive position having water on three sides, it covers from Firth of Lorn to the Pass of Brander also Ardmucknish Bay and the entrance to Loch Etive.
HWW to all!

Clachan Sound from the Fairy Foxglove adorned wall of the hump back bridge at Clachan on the Isle of Seil which is one of the Slate Islands, slateislands.org.uk
Because both ends of the sound are open to the sea it is known as "The Bridge over the Atlantic"
I prefer a large view!
HWW to everyone!

Halsway manor was held in 1086 by Roger de Courcelles with Alric, the owner in 1066, as his tenant. The manor passed through many owners down to 1960, (mentioned in the Doomsday Book)
Now It is the only residential folk centre in the UK. This week it hosts The 5th Big Hurdy-Gurdy event!

Please view Large! The sight and sounds of 150000 gannets who nest on Bass Rock in peak season over the spring to autumn months. Is simply amazing!
The Bass Rock is an impressive island/rock on the North Berwick coast in the Firth of Forth, east Scotland. Sir David Attenborough has described the Gannet colony at Bass Rock as one of the 12 wildlife wonders of the world.
The Lighthouse is a 20-metre (66 ft) tall, built in 1902,It has been automated since 1988, When viewed large the ruins of St Baldred's Chapel, built on the site of St Baldred's hermitage can be seen (center of the rock),,,,,,,,, HWW!
Blues are little strong apologies!

West Quay, Bridgwater, The Fountain Inn, (note the date at the top), next building for many years had a dance venue on the first floor, the sign built into the brickwork lists it as the "Fisherman's Wharf" but known locally as "Oddfellows Hall" further down the green building was another pub "Kings Head"
Merchant ships tied up on both sides of the river and steps for access can be seen built into the wall!
A short history for anyone interested, bridgwater-tc.gov.uk/history/river-shipping/bridgwater-shipping
A large view is best for details.
