Here in #Renfrewshire, it's the #weather is sunny, warm for the time of year. But we're starting to see a #haze in the atmosphere. I wonder if it's caused by the #wildfires affecting #Galloway, which have now spread to south #Ayrshire?

Langmaiden Fays (aka Blairbuy 2 Rock Art), near Monreith, with a view to the Fell of Barhullion. This rock art panel sit on top of the tallest drumlin and is the first to be lit by the rising sun.

Whithorn Priory, founded in the 12th C by Fergus, Lord of Galloway, on the site of a number of earlier churches. Possibly including the shrine of St Ninian and the first christian church in Scotland.

St Ninian's Chapel, Isle of Whithorn. Dating from the 13th C, replacing an older building on the site. Beyond on the headland are the ramparts of an Iron Age promontory fort and a white tower, known as The Cairn.

Cairn Holy Cairn 1 - one of two Neolithic chambered tombs overlooking Wigton Bay in Galloway. The tomb has two chambers and a wonderful facade of upright pillar stones. My own. #TombTuesday #Neolithic #Archaeology #Galloway

Garlieston is a pretty little village looking out to Wigtown Bay, on the coast of the Machars of Galloway. The section of coast between the village and Rigg Bay, in winter, could be described as beautifully bleak.

This strange remnant of World War 2 is a section of Mulberry Harbour (a beetle), tested at Garlieston during 1943, prior to the D-Day landings. It now lies stranded, slowly corroding on the rocks at Eggerness Point. #blackandwhitephotography #Scotland #Galloway

Been out #filming all afternoon, now about to head out to this to show one of my wee #history films.

The beautiful village of Portpatrick in the Rhins of Galloway, which looks out over the North Channel towards Northern Ireland. Its origins date back some 500 years and until the 1860s it was a major ferry port. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/portpatrick/portpatrick/index.html

It's funny when the Guardian visits your wee corner of the world, simply because of how clueless they show you they are.
Galloway is 'unspoiled' with its plantations and sheep scrubbed hills, apparently.

Marlene enjoyed a spot of afternoon leaping in the sunshine today.
