The Last Witch of Scotland
People often walk by the place where I died. I have no grave, but only a stone to mark the spot where I met my fate. It still stands at the foot of someone’s private garden. There is no name on it, just a date, and I might add, an erroneous one. I did not…
a brief history of Scone
“..whom we invite to see us crowned at Scone“…. Macbeth ~~~~~~~~~~~~ For Leanne Cole’s theme of travel this week, I chose the Maze at Scone, Perth and Kinross, Scotland.

Pop over and check out Cee’s great blog and all the submissions. Some of my travel photos translate so well in Sepia tones….
A dream of the highlands and monochrome madness
I’m always rushing to catch up these days with everything happening at once, so I will combine two posts in one! “Where danced the moon on Monan’s Rill” It is a breathtaking road along the Great Glen(An Gleann Mòr) from Loch Ness to Loch Linnhe through the misty mountains, meadows and moors. I took this shot at…
