635 years ago today. King Robert II died at Dundonald Castle in Ayrshire on 19 April 1390. He began the House of Stewart/Stuart, which ruled Scotland for over two centuries before unifying the crowns of Scotland and England. More about Robert II here: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/usbiography/monarchs/robertii.html

Dundonald Castle. The image shows a view up a steep grassy slope to the corner of a massive monolithic ruined castle. The castle can be seen to have no roof and the window openings are ruinous. The scene is in sunlight.

From 23 June 2025, young people aged 19–21 living on #Scottish islands will be eligible for concessionary ferry vouchers for travel to the mainland. The scheme, part of the 2025–26 #transport budget, offers four free single (or two return) trips per year and already supports those aged 16–18 and full-time volunteers up to 25. Covering #Orkney, #Shetland, the Outer #Hebrides, and islands in North #Ayrshire, #Argyll and #Bute, and #Highland Council areas, the expansion builds on the Scottish Government’s Islands Connectivity Plan. It follows the introduction of free inter-island ferry travel for under-22s. Cabinet Secretary for Transport Fiona Hyslop said the move will help young islanders access work, education, and opportunities, while the government continues to explore further transport support for island communities.

Here in #Renfrewshire, it's the #weather is sunny, warm for the time of year. But we're starting to see a #haze in the atmosphere. I wonder if it's caused by the #wildfires affecting #Galloway, which have now spread to south #Ayrshire?
