Toots Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Kippford a lovely little seaside town on the south west coast of Scotland. Spent many a happy time there. Probably why I'm happiest living next to water be it the sea or a river/lake. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toots Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) Crovie, Aberdeenshire - though I wouldn't like to be in one of those houses during a storm. Edited April 29, 2018 by Toots 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is don't know. One of the most amazing nights of my life was in the Bay Hotel at Roins Hoods Bay at a high tide in a sever storm. The waves were coming well over the roof and I sat in the bar watching everything from starfish to pebbles swirling around me through the windows. Pretty amazing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perthbum Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 There is a massive ancient wood near me that has a carpet of bluebells coming out just now, never see anyone when I take my dog on a walk, its better than this photo...will take a photo next week. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Home and Happy Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 There is an ancient stone circle and a burial ground way out in a field off an old track.... nobody ever goes there even though most local people know about it I go to it often as its a lovely country walk. Pretty amazing place, like something from a movie set....a bit creepy if you go on a misty day... I just love UK so many hidden treasures to see. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Mine’s Wandlebury, an Iron Age Hill fort which I choose to believe is the original site of Troy because of so many local features (it’s a compelling premise advanced by some who believe Troy was in Britain) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toots Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 These standing stones are 5,000 years old and are in a field near where I grew up. My little friends and I used to play in a sort of underground chamber close to the stones. Many of the stones were used over the centuries to build houses and dykes but those ones still remain.

wattsy1982 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) Mine is Knettishall Heath on the Suffolk/Norfolk border. Its a country park which joins up with Elveden Forest and where the Peddars Way walk starts. Used to go there lots as kids, swim in the river and jump off the weir and do the many walks through the woods. Took my kids there in 2016 whilst on holiday and it was still as magical as ever. The bridge in the picture below is known as 'red arch' and there are wild horses in the woods too....which stampede towards you then veer off...luckily! It looks just as good in the snow too! With all the mind blowing things I come across in my job in the Tech/Innovation industry its simple things like this that have a bigger/lasting impact on me!

LKC Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 The Ochil hills, right on the southern fringe of the Scottish Highlands. We're lucky enough to live on a farm in the foothills, and frequently walk up there. The first photo is near Glendevon in December, the second is Dollar Glen last month. It is absolutely stunning, particularly the drive through from Muckhart towards Gleneagles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toots Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Kelso is a very nice town in the Scottish Borders. I used to stay with relatives there occasionally in my school holidays. I remember watching the salmon jumping in the river Tweed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toots Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 My sister from Edinburgh is on holiday with us just now and she was telling me about Dean Village. I remember walking through the village over 40 years ago with my brother when he was a student at Edinburgh Uni. Dean Village was a prosperous hamlet for over 800 years. What's left of it is a 19th century village that was famous for its water mills utilising the strong currents of the city's river Leith. It's close to the city centre and just a 5 minute walk from Princes Street. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
