Silent Sunday, just me and the dug

Looking towards Arrochar across Loch Long

#SilentSunday #Trosachs #walking #LochLong

The beautifully located village of Arrochar, standing at the head of Loch Long in Argyll & Bute. It's been popular with visitors since steamers arrived on the Clyde in the early 1800. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/arrochar/arrochar/index.html

#Scotland #Arrochar #LochLong #ArgyllAndBute

waking up to the #news that leaked documents from the #MoD reveal locations for potential new #ArmsFactories in the so-called #UK.

"sites under consideration include parts of the #grangemouth industrial complex, the #finnart oil terminal on #LochLong, and locations in #cumbria, #teesside, #northumberland, #southampton and #wales".

in #teesside, i bet it's the old chemical site in #StocktonOnTees right next to a huge residential estate that has already been polluted for decades.

these arms factories are supposed to create a 1000 jobs in total, with the potential to kill many thousands more.

#GifsArtidote: #capitalist murderous greed, that's what it is, & we should not accept this & strongly resist these plans. 😡
affected communities should immediately set up resistance groups & develop positive, green, peaceful & community-led alternatives that create more jobs & develop these impoverished areas sustainably & healthily for everyone.

Typical #NukeShill comment - "[UK #MinistryOfDefense] published data on #radioactive discharges from #Coulport and #Faslane every year, along with assessments of the #environmental impacts. It insisted those discharges were 'of no regulatory concern'.

That's because these ASSHATS are in denial about #Bioaccumulation! #BananaMan got to them!

Attractive Dornie in Lochalsh, now bypassed by the main road and best known for neighbouring Eilean Donan Castle, but once a terminus for ferries crossing Loch Long and Loch Duich. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/dornie/dornie/index.html
