I’ll have to expand my knowledge of the traditional counties of Scotland, and Wales,as I don’t know much about them but a fair bit about the very butchered counties of England and the unbutchered, except for Co Dublin….the butchering being rather recently….,counties of Ireland.That view of the stars above the bothy is very fine.Strangley my favorite star experience in Scotland was in a very light polluted place …. Edinburgh.I had got there rather early in a January to get the night 🌃 sleeping train to London.It was a beautiful crisp cold night so I walked up to the Salisbury Crags and lay down watching the stars and as Ursa Major was moving over the crags a fox 🦊, oblivious to me being there,walked right past me….so much for the keen senses of animals!
I’d prefer not to use anglicised country names in connection to Scotland but it was the only era with vaguely proportional geographical areas. That bothy evening with a wonderful surprise too, as most I’d come across in winter had been empty.
Well that’s the same with Irish counties which, I think,date from Elizabeth the First’s times?Not to get too political but they, although people are fond of them now, where set up to make ruling the countries in question easier.I expect that the Scottish one’s where originally areas controlled a local (ish) aristocrat which is why Clackmannanshire was in about 8 exclaves as their holdings where split by other rival aristocrats.Some of these Scottish aristocrats might have started as clan chiefs, speaking Gaelic,but soon morphed into the types of folk with a London town house and spent little time in Scotland except for going up to hunt…. and they still probably own the land to this day!
ha, that sounds about right!
I was thrilled to see your pictures of the Glenelg brochs, which I visited with a friend in 1968. We had been reading W H. Murray’s book on the west Highlands, which has a description of them, and took some photos, including one of my friend standing in the entrance to one of them. They are 35mm slides, which I intend to digitise. I have never been back since.
They are extraordinary and stay in the imagination don’t they
Yes, and they are off the beaten track, so not many people seem to find them, which makes it all the more exciting when one does
Absolutely!
