Painting a rainbow. This farmer's sprinkler was enchanting to watch in #Fife, #Scotland

Today, on #InternationalNelsonMandelaDay, I serendipitously finished reading this book. I am not a great fan of autobiographies, but this one is pretty gripping. #MandelaDay2026

That's a long 24 hours . . .

A field o' tatties in #Fife, #Scotland

#Scotland during the World Cup. 🤣🤣 Traffic cones on statues has extended far beyond Glasgow. Here is a dinosaur in Glenrothes, #Fife not only with a cone but with a wee flag and an Argentine shirt (last night's victors over England).

The wayside dog roses are past their best, but a few linger to brighten the path in #Fife, #Scotland

More watching artists at work, this time a group at Dunnottar Castle, complete with model. Some impressive work. #Scotland

I went to the stunning Dunnottar Castle today in #Aberdeenshire, #Scotland. Spectacular as always, I was also thrilled to see numerous dolphins putting on a display in the sea. I couldn't get a photo of them; far easier was a shot of some of the many jellyfish on the beach.

It's a lovely morning in rural North East #Fife, #Scotland

One for the Canadians: it would appear that Alexander Mackenzie was born in a house in the small village of Dunkeld, #Scotland. How he got from there to PM of #Canada must be quite a story.

The Robinson Crusoe statue in Lower Largo, #Fife, #Scotland on the site of the home of Alexander Selkirk, on whose true story the book is based. I remember being VERY excited to see this as a young boy. I got a thrill from it today, too!

On the Fife Coastal Path this morning, when the heat was still perfectly bearable. #Fife #Scotland
