Good morning, Glasgow. It's a glorious start to the day, but for some reason the city seems pretty much deserted except for me and this pair of ducks. I wonder why that could be! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚽️🎉🎉🎉 #glasgow #goodmorningglasgow #worldcup #themorningafter #scotland #noscotlandnoparty

Today I set off in hope rather than expectation, wondering if the hill I was attempting would contain the UK’s most southerly patch of snow. Happily, it did. The top 1,000ft was a joyless trudge into 50mph winds and stinging rain. But, such is the lot of a chionophile.

On an unassuming Edinburgh street there are what appear to be two manhole covers. They are in fact the base of two gallows where the last highwaymen to be hanged in Scotland met their grizzly end in 1815. They were hanged on the exact spot where they committed their crime.

Spooky Saturdays 👻 - Number Nineteen! Every Saturday I’ll dive into Scotland’s paranormal legends, from ancient hauntings to modern mysteries. Let’s jump in… Hugh Miller’s Cottage, Cromarty, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Hidden inside a quiet lane in the old royal burgh of Cromarty, sits a significant thatched cottage - the birthplace of Hugh Miller in 1802. Built by his great grandfather, a seafaring man with a reputation as a pirate, the cottage has stood for centuries with its low ceilings and are hanging lum chimney. Hugh Miller was born in this cottage in 1802 - he started life as a stonemason in Cromarty before becoming a celebrated geologist and writer who spent years collecting Scottish ghost stories. Miller spent his entire life collecting and retelling Scotland’s folklore and ghost stories. In books like "Scenes and Legends of the North of Scotland," he wrote about witches, spirits, and the unexplained with a mix of belief and fascination. His own story ended in pain - in 1856, aged just 54 and battling severe depression and what many believe was a brain tumour, he died by suicide in his Edinburgh home. The man who ironically documented so many supernatural tales, enocuntered a tragic and very humane end. The actual cottage itself is said to carry its own haunted reputation. Visitors, as well as staff, have reported unexplained footsteps on the wooden floors, sudden cold spots in the old rooms, and a lingering feeling of being watched. Most put it down to the heavy atmosphere of the low, dark interior - but others wonder if it’s the presence of Miller himself, still attached to the place where his life began... the old pirate built cottage holds onto its secrets tightly. Whether it’s the echoes of Miller’s own lifelong interest in the paranormal, or something older lingering in the thatch and stone - Hugh Miller’s Cottage has a quiet and unsettling energy that fits the man who spent his life recording Scotland’s ghost stories.
