New video! This has been YEARS in the making... a deep dive into some the largest, most Mad Max vehicles ever made. The crazy 1930s desert buses of the Nairn Transport Company. Like all my videos, it's about a weird vehicle has a toilet & kitchen.

The best thing about Dingwall is the fact they have a WIMPY (remember them?!) that has remained open (and unchanged) since time immemorial. Itโ€™s also really decent. Living in the Highlands really is like going back in time sometimes.

Beautiful, misty morning. Streams of light through the trees, smell of fresh foliage and lots of bubbling streams from last nights rainfall. Absolute bliss. Wish Iโ€™d brought a proper camera!

Sitting behind my house is an unusual โ€™S-shapeโ€™ souterrain, cut directly into Jurrassic shale. It probably dates from the Iron Age and its purpose, like many of the souterrains or โ€˜earth housesโ€™ found around the Highlands, is not entirely known.(1/6)

George Rainy (1790-1863) received ยฃ50k (ยฃ6.1 mil today) in compensation due to emancipation of slaves and purchased Raasay in 1845. He then instigated a forceful clearance of islanders off the land. Dozens of these abandoned communities can still be found around Raasay.

Who benefited from slavery in Scotland? When it was abolished in British colonies in 1833, the equivalent of ยฃ2.5bn was paid out to slave owners at about 430 addresses all over Scotland. UCL have mapped them - maybe they lived on your street:

Iโ€™m a bit old school so itโ€™s all 100% pen on paper! The original drawing is an A3 (16.5 x 11.7 inch) drawing done using a mixture of 0.03/0.05mm @uniball_uk fine liners! I sketch out very roughly in pencil then go straight in with the pens! ๐Ÿ–Š

An evening exercise to sketch out 'The Realm of Bahumia' from my new favourite podcast @NADDPod ! I finally caught up to the latest ep. I lot of guessing, but I hope it's at least close Murph! #Naddpod

The latest @NADDPod campaign has been excellent as always, but the return of a classic character (and his iconic ship) made me breaking out the paper and pens. #NADDPod

Raasay is getting a fancy new set of pontoons for visiting boats and locals to tie up at. Took the drone up today to get some shots of the installation!

Sort of obsessed with this old Glasgow ferry. "Built in 1890(!) The Finnieston was a double-ended "elevating deck ferry" that could be raised or lowered by steam winches. The service was discontinued in 1966." Source:

My love for unusual vehicles was definitely kick-started by Jacques Cousteau's amazing exploration vessel the Calypso. A wonderful, unique ship with so much history. I recently made a documentary about her and it's almost crossed a half a million views! ๐Ÿคฏ
