Good morning. Dark. Still.8C

More archive photography for #photooftheday this time Traigh Scarista (Scarista Beach), Harris. We took our first trip there in a camper van 15 years ago and fell in love with the Outer Hebrides.

Have a good day.

The last day of Ardbeg. Until the next one 😂 So what's next? Sherry? Ex-bourbon? Peaty? Unpeated? Rye? Bourbon? #whisky

Traigh Beach, part of the Silver Sands of Morar south of Mallaig, plus views of the Small Isles of Eigg and Rum. The origin of the name 'silver sands' is obvious. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Barra, Scotland (BRR)

Scheduled flights land on the beach. The three runways are sand, marked by wooden posts, and the tide covers all of them twice a day.

So Loganair's timetable follows the tide tables. With no night license, emergency flights have landed by car headlights.

Mediterranean Gulls are still scarce visitors to the Outer Hebrides. This first winter at Traigh Mhor today was the first we've seen on Barra this year. #birdingscotland

Continuing #marine #lichens theme below. This is Lichina pygmaea. Found in #barnacle zone between high and low tide. Tolerates long periods of saltwater immersion. Distinguished from L confinis by flattened branchlets but also position: L confinis found in splash zone above high-tide line. Scotland.

... und ich bin leider
selten an der Küste,
die ich so sehr vermisse,
weil alles anders ist am Strand ...

Lonely Kilnave Chapel, close to Loch Gruinart on the north side of the Isle of Islay, and its weather-worn 1300-year-old cross. The chapel was the site of an atrocity committed during the Battle of Traigh Ghruinneart in 1598. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Sheas e shìos air an traigh
Aig cliathaich an t-saoghail
Is dh' fhàg e chuid teaghlaich
Is chuir e an dachaidh air chùl

There he stood on the shore
With the world in his eyes
Then he left his home
And his family behind

Note that C pelvetiae (below) is found on P canaliculata #seaweed fronds only, not fertile receptacles. Don't confuse with Mycophyscias ascophylli: 'inverted' or 'semi-' #lichen in which #alga provides both nourishment and structure, and #fungus lives within. That's found on receptacles, not fronds!

Collemopsidium pelvetiae: extraordinary 3-part #lichen involving #fungus, #cyanobacterium and #seaweed! Vanishingly few records in Britain. I suspect it's not quite so rare: I found it on 3 of 6 beaches searched on summer holiday in Scotland. Grows only on channelled wrack (Pelvetia canaliculata).
