I took the dog down to Ardeer beach on the Clyde Coast yesterday and in amongst the seaweed, jellyfish and the occasional Portuguese Man-o-War(!) cast up on the shore, I found this. Who knew the inside of a crab's shell could quite such a vivid purple!

I came across this faded mural of Robert Burns on a sea wall on the Ardeer Peninsula in Ayrshire while searching a former explosives factory for one of the few surviving buildings from Glasgow's 1938 Empire Exhibition. Painted in 1996 by the local artist Gavin McInnes, the mural's based on an 1787 composition by Alexander Nasmyth, which is one of the few comtemporary portraits of Scotland's national poet.
