This is an absolute disgrace!
A word of warning to visitors to the Highlands. Kylesku Hotel used to have a reputation for good seafood and welcome. Sadly has been bought out by a company trying to franchise the NC500 and now charging extortionate prices for mediocre food. Please don't be ripped off like this.

One of my favourite places in the world ❤️ Getting back there will be very special...
The spectacular scenery of north west Sutherland. The bridge will be familiar to those who have enjoyed the @NorthCoast500 route. It'll wait until it's safe to visit again. #StayHome please 🐾👣😊

This is horrible and depressing. AND it's in comic sans 🤬🤬🤬 – at Edinburgh, Scotland
My daughter’s “curriculum for excellence” maths homework (used throughout Scotland) features sums about women going on spa breaks and calculating weight loss; men buying bikes and doing sit-ups. Very unimpressed wife has changed the names on the worksheet.

Ready to relax in a bubble bath and start this (been hiding on my shelf too long!) by the superb @Lin_Anderson set in Orkney, after finishing the brilliant "Blue Lightning" by @AnnCleeves last night, set in Shetland. Maybe I need to move to the mainland for my next read?! 🤔😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 – at Edinburgh, Scotland

What to do on a dreich Sunday, while on holiday in Yorkshire? Get in the big hot tub with a good book, and a wee wine, and stay there for a significant period of time 😁 @Beathhigh – at Newton-on-Rawcliffe, England

This.
I have been working all day. By which I mean I have been staring at a screen thinking WTF am I doing and does it really matter when the world is going to hell in a hand cart. You?

I used to work for Scran (happiest working years of my life...) and I always LOVED this pic :-) It featured in many a presentation! @1meanhousewife @Scranlife

A beautiful day for a walk from North to South Queensferry over the Forth Road Bridge. Stopped for an al fresco coffee with this view. I'll never tire of it ❤ @VisitScotland @VisitFife @TheForthBridges @edinburgh – at Dunfermline, Scotland

Absolutely.
I think this is very good. However we need a proper root and branch reform of the SQA. This can’t just be about this year. We need to look deeper at the content of the curriculum & how that links into qualifications. Deputy First Minister SQA 2020 results. news.gov.scot/speeches-and-b…
