In reverse order, some August sightings, love-in-a-mist first. Such a lovely flower. So well named.
Tide out at Fraserburgh beach. Blue skies and reflections.
The sundial above is situated on the wall of the 13th century ruined Kirk at Rathen in Aberdeenshire. The dial was added in 1625 and is still telling the correct time.
Over on Substack: Crimonmogate: a Giant Secret Garden, a slightly newer sundial from there below.
The Mermaid and the Bear
Set in a fictional castle in Aberdeenshire, my debut novel, THE MERMAID AND THE BEAR, blends an often overlooked period of history, the Scottish witchcraft accusations, in particular the 1597 Aberdeen witchcraft panic, with a love story.
Published by GWL Publishing, the book is out in paperback and Kindle now.

Great pictures and information, Ailish. The Mermaid and the Bear is on my list. I’m sure I’ll be as captivated with it as I was with Sisters at the Edge of the World.
Mermaid has a less unusual voice than Sisters. I hope you enjoy it, Tim.
It’s interesting to look at ancient technology like sundials, and consider how the craft of timekeeping is still with us, though in very different ways
It is. I was impressed that it was so accurate.
I don’t know if anyone else has mentioned this, but you have a talent for photography.
Thanks. I enjoy it.
