Is it OK to have a favourite rock? #geology #easterrosspeninsula
Main Street with the sun shining directly down the facades creating rich shadows. #wintersolstice #easterrosspeninsula
Looking east then west on the approach road to Tarbat Ness Lighthouse. All breathtaking. #lighthouse #easterrosspeninsula
A wander from Inver to the sand spit that protects the firth from the sea. A day of clouds. I noticed gulls mobbing a large raptor above my head. I watched it as it moved east to the open sea beyond the sand spit. My binoculars followed the bird at an ever increasing speed downwards, wings folded in a stoop, until it crashed into the sea immediately re-emerging with a large fish in its talons! The osprey climbed and flew directly overhead. A first for me!!! #osprey #inver #easterrosspeninsula
The harbour warehouses beside the pier in the late summer evening just to prove that Portmahomack is indeed the only west facing village on Scotland’s east coast! #portmahomack #easterrosspeninsula

Good morning Wednesday on Mastodon. Sharing a Shandwick sunrise today (Seaboard Villages, Fearn Peninsula, Easter Ross) Not swum there since December due to ill health. Itching to get back. I’ve walked there lots recently and it’s peaceful, but not as soul-soothing as a swim.

Good morning everyone. How’s your Friday shaping up? Early here as you can tell. I promised Nigg Beach, until the weekend. It wasn’t a lie, but I found this instead - Cromarty Firth sunset from the North Sutor ( my ‘home hill’) For context, Nigg Beach IS bottom right. #scotland #ScottishHighlands #easterrosspeninsula #FearnPeninsula #EasterRoss #cromartyfirth #northsutor #castlecraigfarm #cromarty #sunset #ScotlandPhotography #photooftheday #NoFilters
