An account of day two, including a walk I took after we were safely ensconced in the house at Achosnich.

Bäume, Gräser, Moose - Grünes, wohin man auch guckt. - Trees, grasses, mosses - greenery everywhere you look.

Ariundle Oakwoods circular

The Ariundle Oakwoods are a truly stunning place, a surviving fragment of the great Atlantic Oakwoods - a temperate rainforest which once swathed much of Europe's western coastline. The name comes from the Gaelic Àirigh Fhionndail - the shieling of the white meadow.

Chiamatemi infantile, ma il nome dell'elemento chimico con numero atomico 38 mi farà sempre ridere.

E il fatto che lo #stronzio prende il nome da un villaggio scozzese non solo non migliora la situazione, ma mette pure #Strontian in una brutta posizione 8-D

#OTD in 1846
A Free Church congregation in Strontian, Ardnamurchan, launched their floating church.

The local laird refused them permission to build a church on his land, so they "crowdfunded" £1,400 to get a Clyde shipbuilder to make a floating church. The church was moored in Loch Sunart & was 80ft long & 24ft wide. It could hold a congregation of 400.
