If visiting the countryside this weekend, please help protect wildlife by keeping dogs on leads #RespectProtectEnjoy
ALT Image of two people on horses. A sign saying 'Ground nesting birds. Dogs on leads please' is visible in the foreground. The image has the following text on it - "If you need a sign to take the lead, this is it"

This is the 700 year old Milnholm Cross, found near Newcastleton in the Borders.
It was raised to remember an important member of the Armstrongs and if you look closely, you can just make out a sword on the shaft as well as the curled arm of the Armstrong crest at the top

ALT Today's 'Where in Scotland' image. It is a vertical image showing a view along a village street with buildings on both sides and lots of trees. There are multiple lines of wires crossing overhead the road. The scene is in sunlight.

It’s #EssentialSector #FilmFriday
@newcastleton is another example of people doing invaluable things in their communities 🤩
Not least by developing a community hub and buying a hill. Yes, an actual hill. To create pathways and cycle routes for people… amazing ⛰️🚲

If you're a keen cyclist looking to test your mettle...there's nowhere better to start than the Kirkpatrick C2C, South of Scotland's coast to coast cycle route.

The 12th/13th Aug will be the peak of Perseids Meteor Shower, which offers the most breathtaking natural display of shooting stars. Why not book a trip to Beirhope this summer and see some of the most spectacular darkest skies in the UK for yourself! ✨ beirhope.co.uk/dark-skies
