˜”*°• Papigoe 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️I miss my home. But how do you miss a place that has not been your home for 46 years? #scotland #highlands #nativehighlander #’SeAlbamodhachaigh #caithness #Lybster #wick #papigoe
I am from Wick, Caithness Scotland and here are oor North Baths. This is what passes for a swimming pool here. (I live in GA now). #scotland #highlands #caithness #pentlandfirth
Jonathan BirchAfter learning yesterday about the island of Stroma, I've become increasingly convinced that it needs to be the setting for some sort of survival horror game.
I mean, it's an entire abandoned island, with an abandoned 19th century village (Nethertown!), mostly still standing, that's frequently unreachable. And the map just feel perfect*.
The only real drawback I'm seeing is that it feels like the monster would have to be hungry sheep.

1. Neu-Kelte 🌻💙💛🌻Nua-#CelticSoulJourney: `Jenny and Annie from „Stories of Scotland“ explore in the episode „Mermaids of Scotland: Dangers of the Deep Sea“ the everlasting legend of mermaids to celebrate coastlines, seas and lochs. They share incredible mermaid folklore curated by a traditional storyteller here from #Caithness to learn about the significance of mermaids to #Scotland’s culture. Jenny reads poetry inspired by the lands-under-the-sea written by a fisherman’s son from Shetland. Annie examines mermaid artefacts from the #Scottish Fisheries Museum and National Museums Scotland.
They also discuss selkies, the mythological half-seal half-human creatures. Kyle returns to sing a couple of verses from the traditional Scots ballad Lady Odivere.`

Undiscovered ScotlandDunnet Head lighthouse stands above 300ft cliffs, close to the most northerly point in mainland Scotland. The views from here on a clear day are magnificent and include the Orkney Islands on the far side of the Pentland Firth. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/dunnet/dunnet/index.html
The superb Castle of Mey in Caithness, the most northerly castle in mainland Scotland. Built from 1566 by the Earl of Caithness, it is better known for its more recent royal connections. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/mey/castleofmey/index.html
The slightly weird Hill o' Many Stanes in Caithness. It's a hill, with many stones. But why? It is generally believed to have been erected some 4,000 years ago, but no real dating evidence has been found. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/lybster/manystanes/index.html
Thurso, on the north coast of Caithness, was established by Vikings over a thousand years ago. It is mainland Scotland's most northerly town, and home to the country's most northerly railway station. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/thurso/thurso/index.html
