  • Why is there no water in your latest Year of Coasts and Waters photo? I thought I would highlight the importance of hydroelectricity in the Scottish Highlands. This photo shows an original Pelton wheel that generated electricity in the village of Kinlochleven. Without the power of water, the village wouldn't exist. Find out why in this blog post... https://qoo.ly/343k8i
  • We've had a mild winter in the Scottish Highlands so far but when it is cold this is a great sight. The rivers, burns and lochans freeze turning the dark waters of Rannoch Moor into a sparkling, shimmering, waterworld.
  • It's one of those days when you don't want to venture too far from home in the Scottish Highlands. It's a day to snuggle up in the warm, watch a movie, read a book and dream of sunnier days. This photo is taken just a few minutes from home on Loch Leven with the Pap of Glencoe in the distance. #YCW2020 #coast #sea #nature #travel #adventure #water #explore #scotland #scottishhighlands #highlands #seascape #coastal #glen2glen #stgaguide #qualifiedtouristguide #tourguide
  • Hey there, Baxter Andrew has scheduled a new post for your Instagram profile @glen2glen When you venture down to the sea at Whaligoe Steps near Lybster on the Caithness coast, you can imagine the fisherfolk of yesteryear making the same journey. The vertiginous descent and the reascent require care in wet weather, so imagine what that was like with baskets of fish loaded on your back. At the small harbour below you will find the remnants of a long-gone fishing industry. There are the ruins of a salt store used to cure fish and a hand-powered winch used to haul boats ashore. Look out for the large circular pit. This is a barking kettle where tar was heated and used to waterproof nets and floats. Whaligoe may be off the beaten path - it's a place you might miss as you head along the A9 - but if you want to explore Scotland's coast it's a must-see destination. #YCW2020 #coast #beach #sea #nature #travel #ocean #seaside #waves #adventure #water #explore #scotland #scottishhighlands #highlands #seascape #islands #coastal #islandhopping #stgaguide #qualifiedtouristguide #tourguide #glen2glen
  • The stormy weather seems to have passed through the Scottish Highlands now. It was wild! With some calmer weather, we head across to the River Spey. It's one of Scotland's great rivers, renowned for salmon and whisky. Would the Highlands be the world whisky capital without the River Spey? This photo taken in Aberlour reminds me why the Spey is my favourite river. #YCW2020 #scotland #visitscotland #scottish #lovescotland #instascotland #thisisscotland #scotspirit #scotlandshots #glen2glen #hiddenscotland #scotlandlover #scotlandexplore #scotlandisnow #scotlandsbeauty #omgb #scotlandtrip #yourscotland #unlimitedscotland #scotlandisbeautiful #outandaboutscotland #tourscotland #holidayinscotland #icu_scotland #scotlandtravel #scotlandsites #explorescotland #scotland_greatshots #scotland_insta nd
  • Hmmmm...that's a bit fishy! I can't see any water in today's #YCW2020 photo. Don't worry it definitely fits the Year of Coasts and Waters theme. The 'Mermaid of the North' sits upon a rock on the beach at Balintore. She's a beautiful 10ft high sculpture and is an enchanting depiction of the mythical creature. You can almost imagine sailors wrecking their ships on the rock as they fall victim to her charms. ---- #YCW2020 #coast #beach #sea #nature #travel #ocean #seaside #waves #adventure #water #explore #scotland #scottishhighlands #highlands #seascape #coastal #stgaguide #qualifiedtouristguide #tourguide #glen2glen
  • Many visitors head to Fort William to climb our highest mountain Ben Nevis. Yet from the town itself, you can't see most of the mountain and nothing of the summit. The best views are across Loch Linnhe from the town. You could go to the lochside at Corpach, where you will discover this photogenic old wreck with Ben Nevis in the distance. Another good alternative is to drive the narrow single track road on the far bank of the loch, where you get splendid views from near Achaphubuil or Treslaig. If you aren't travelling with a car step aboard the small passenger ferry that leaves from the Crannog Pier and it will take you across the loch to the same point on the lochside. ----- #YCW2020 #coast #beach #sea #nature #travel #ocean #adventure #water #explore #scotland #scottishhighlands #highlands #seascape #stgaguide #qualifiedtouristguide #tourguide #glen2glen
  • A surprising photo in our Year of Coasts and Waters journey today. Who would have thought two oil rigs could look so strangely appealing. These are a familiar sight for cruise passengers heading into the Cromarty Firth to dock at Invergordon. It's an important service base for the North Sea energy industry. Who knows one day we might lead tours to an old rig permanently stationed in the waters here as a lasting reminder of our industrial heritage. - - - - - #YCW2020 #coast #sea #ocean #waves #water #explore #scotland #scottishhighlands #highlands #seascape #coastal #stgaguide #qualifiedtouristguide #tourguide #glen2glen
  • Now Simmer blinks on flowery braes, And o'er the chrystal streamlets plays; Come let us spend the lightsome days In the birks of Aberfeldy.
