More than meets the eye? The very enigmatic Kilpatrick Dun, on high ground south of Blackwaterfoot near the Isle of Arran's west coast. What you see are the remains of a fortified farmstead that was built here some 1,800 years ago. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/arran/kilpatrickdun/index.html

Kilpatrick Dun. The image shows a grassy foreground with a scatter of large stone, and an information board beyond. Beyond that the ground drops away, giving distant views of a hilly landscape and, on the left, the sea.

Resurrecting another *NEW* portfolio: This is the Isle of Arran, Scotland

We spent a week here way back in 2017, and a week is not enough. I yearn to be here again, with its imposing mountains, ancient history, gorgeous coast and so much more.

A serene and ancient stone circle at Machrie Moor on the Isle of Arran, Scotland. Three tall standing stones dominate the foreground, their surfaces weathered and covered with patches of lichen and moss, indicating their age and exposure to the elements. The largest stone stands prominently on the right, its rugged texture and earthy tones contrasting with the surrounding landscape. The other two stones are slightly smaller and positioned further back, creating a sense of depth and alignment. The ground is a mix of grass and dry, golden-brown vegetation, suggesting an autumnal setting. In the background, rolling hills stretch across the horizon under a partly cloudy sky, with a faint rainbow arching gracefully above the scene. The overall atmosphere is one of tranquility and historical significance, evoking a sense of connection to the past amidst the natural beauty of the Scottish countryside.

A picturesque scene of a cascading stream in North Glen Sannox on the Isle of Arran, Scotland. The water flows gently over rocks and small waterfalls, creating a smooth, silky texture that highlights its movement. Surrounding the stream are patches of grass and heather, displaying autumnal hues of yellow, orange, and green, adding warmth to the landscape. Large boulders are scattered along the banks, contributing to the rugged beauty of the area. In the background, imposing rocky hills rise up, their dark, jagged silhouettes contrasting with the softer tones of the foreground. The sky above is partly cloudy, with grey clouds hinting at an impending change in weather, while a sliver of light breaks through, casting a gentle glow over the scene. The overall atmosphere is one of serene wilderness, showcasing the raw natural beauty of the Scottish Highlands.

The majestic Glenashdale Falls on the Isle of Arran, Scotland. A powerful waterfall cascades down a steep rocky cliff, its water appearing smooth and silky due to the long exposure used in capturing the scene. The falls are surrounded by lush, dense vegetation, with trees and foliage displaying vibrant autumnal colours, including greens, yellows, oranges, and hints of red. The mist rising from the falling water adds a mystical quality to the atmosphere, enhancing the sense of movement and energy. The surrounding landscape is rich with ferns and moss-covered rocks, creating a verdant backdrop that contrasts beautifully with the white, frothy water of the falls. The overall scene exudes a sense of tranquility and natural beauty, highlighting the raw power and serenity of this stunning Scottish landmark.

A serene and picturesque scene at Glen Rosa on the Isle of Arran, Scotland. A small, flowing stream meanders through a rugged landscape, its water cascading gently over rocks to create miniature waterfalls. The foreground features a shallow pool with clear, reflective water that mirrors the surrounding environment, including the rocky terrain and patches of vibrant vegetation. Large boulders are scattered along the banks, adding texture and depth to the scene. The background reveals rolling hills and distant mountains, their peaks shrouded in soft mist under a partly cloudy sky. The landscape is adorned with autumnal hues, with grasses and shrubs displaying warm tones of yellow, orange, and brown, contrasting beautifully with the greenery and the cool blue-grey of the rocks. The overall atmosphere is one of peaceful wilderness, showcasing the natural beauty and tranquility of this Scottish glen.

A lovely walk across Arran takes you to the Machrie Moor Standing Stones. These historic ruins date back to the Neolithic and early Bronze Age periods.

Going to start a wee gallery on my blog called 'view from the bench'. This'll be one of the first images.

A black public bench is in the foreground. Beyond the bench there is some grass mixed with sandy dunes which rises up slightly as it moves away from the bench. Behind the grass a calm blue sea is visible and, in the distance, the Isle of Arran covers the full width of the photo. There are a few small clouds but the sky is mostly clear blue.

I'm heading back home to Seil tomorrow; I'll miss this view, but I dare say there'll be a few good sunsets over the Firth of Lorn...

Beyond Bennan Head on the Isle of Arran, the sun sets with a brilliant gold light below heavy grey clouds. Waves break on the pebble shore lit by glints of sunlight.

Windy walk today on Arran, along the king's caves.
One of the caves is full of cairns, it's like they are attending a busy meeting
It was cold and windy but really nice
