“I  heard someone on TV say they didn't think Essex had wildlife, until someone said wildlife is everywhere. What is the world coming to?” That's the question left by listener James, in Ecclefechan, Scotland for your co-hosts Stuart and William to delve into. Wildlife? More Like Wild Conspiracies! Join William and Stuart as they dissect the absurdities of British wildlife with all the enthusiasm of a damp Saturday in Colchester. William opens by suggesting that if you haven't graced Colchester with your presence, then clearly you've missed out on all the subtle wonders it has to offer—even if they're as unexciting as a bus stop in the drizzle.Stuart then delves into the baffling story from thirty years back, when someone reckoned that North Wales was practically bird-free—simply because no one bothered to record them. That is, until a slightly under-the-weather bird watcher on Anglesey made the inconvenient discovery that, shocker, birds do exist. Yes, even in a landscape where no one takes notes, nature finds a way to upend common sense.Ever the inquisitor, William questions which part of Essex this supposed wildlife desert applies to, considering that even the busiest corners of the county attract a touch of life. Stuart is quick to chime in: if your idea of wildlife is confined to roaming elephants and lions, you're in for a rude awakening—try rolling back your carpet and what's under there. For the pièce de résistance, they tackle the wild conspiracy theories claiming that not only does New Zealand not exist, but neither does Finland. So naturally, it's a short leap of logic to imagine that Essex is just a barren wasteland devoid of any real wildlife. Martin, from Portree, Scotland sets the next question - “Heard you say you are not that active as a photographer these days William, do you see a time where you'd go back to it? Here in Portree, for a large part of the year, the landscape is multiple layers of grey. Have you done much photography with such a simple pallet?”Martin's question was the wake-up call William didn't know he needed. While other projects hogged the schedule, the camera was left gathering dust, and he admits he never quite granted himself the freedom to simply go out and shoot. Now though, he's slowly easing back into photography, sharing the notion that layers in landscape photography can transform even the most ordinary view into something with unexpected depth. Meanwhile, Stuart spices things up with a side story. He recounts a tale of a Portree painter who was so fixated on capturing the ever-changing moods of grey that she found herself painting four different canvases in the span of a single day. Apparently, the local weather wasn't content with just one look—each passing moment demanded its own portrait.Reflecting on his past and looking to the future, William confesses a need for subject matter that truly resonates with him. Back in the day, he was a prolific railway photographer with a portfolio that got plenty of press and the satisfaction of mastering a craft he loved. Now, with a renewed sense of purpose, he's dipping his toes into photography once again—and you can catch his latest snaps on Instagram under the handle @shotatanangle.What do you make of this discussion?

Gyles Brandreth, "Elizabeth. Intiimne portree". Kirjastuselt Varrak. Tutvustab Marek Strandberg. Tänu sõprusele Edinburghi hertsogiga sai Gyles Brandreth viiekümne aasta jooksul sageli kohtuda Elizabeth II-ga. Aastate jooksul tehtud märkmed vestlustest kuninganna, tema pere ja sõpradega annavad meile nüüd põneva ülevaate sellest erakordsest elust.

Former Inspector Sandy Gray from Isle of Skye, Scotland, is Portree's practical joker and taxi driver with a family tie to the first photograph of the Loch Ness Monster.

The Portree Broadcasting Corporation was a pilot for a series that was never commissioned by BBC Scotland - recorded on Skye and produced by myself in 2004, with the object of letting islanders who never meet one another explore their cultures and take o'er the airwaves for one glorious hour of mayhem. It features Gaelic speakers Prof Norman Macdonald and Cailean Maclean plus Shetlander Phil Goodlad and Orcadian Dave Gray. I made myself the cynical newshound sent north from Glasgow to lick the islanders into shape after the Gaels who took over BBC Scotland decided to shift the newsroom to Skye - hence the name, the Portree Broadcasting Corporation. It's a wee bit of history - 20 years ago there were still tolls on the Skye Bridge and the great Dave Gray was wise-cracking as only he knew how. Dave (just retired as Station Manager at Radio Orkney) died suddenly in February 2024. The historian and BBC Skye reporter Prof Norman Macleod died a year earlier in 2023.Happily Phil, Cailean and myself are still going strong. This piece of largely unscripted banter is a tribute to the humorous, un-biddable ways of islanders the world over. ★ Support this podcast ★

Scottish Island Adventures - Skye - with host Coinneach Macleod, the Hebridean Baker and guest Sarah Cruickshank The Isle of Skye  Skye is the largest of the Islands belonging to the Inner Hebrides at 50 miles long. The Isle's picturesque scenery attracts visitors from all over the world who can take on its many hill walks and engage in all kinds of outdoor activities from Kayaking in the beautiful Lochs to spotting protected wildlife species such as the Sea Eagle or Red Deer.  Skye has a rich, vibrant history as the site of both the MacDonald and MacLeod Clan castles, as well as having played a role in the heavily romanticised Jacobite Rebellion led by Bonnie Prince Charlie in 1745. Today, the island has a thriving culture scene with plenty of art to take in as well as lots of restaurants, bars, and distilleries to show off the best of Scottish cuisine.  SkyeSkins  SkyeSkins was originally founded by a couple, Clive and Lydia, forty years ago in response to local farmers who would leave their sheep skins to waste. In the time that has passed, SkySkins has become a tanner, maker, and supplier of quality sheepskins, home furnishings, and sustainable clothing. You can visit their tannery and showroom in Waternish as well as a variety of other attractions including a seasonal Yurt cafe, and a boutique shop in Skye's capital Portree.  Cafe Cuil  The story of Cafe Cuil began in Hackney, East London, in 2019 when Isle of Skye native Clare Coghill first opened her Hebridean-inspired cafe. After returning to her homeland, Coghill brought Cafe Cuil with her to Calbost, a town on the west-side of the Island. The cafe uses locally sourced, seasonal produce to create its own spin on brunch and lunch.  Ellis O'Connor Ellis O'Connor is a Scottish artist specialising in contemporary landscape drawings and paintings. She produces most of her work on-site which allows her to incorporate the environment and extreme weather into the art as it is created. As well as using traditional mediums such as oil paints, O'Connor's landscape works have featured natural substances such as sand or dried seaweed to bring in elements of the natural world.

In dieser Folge erzähle ich dir noch mehr von meiner Interrail Reise durch die schottischen Highlands. Nach einem kurzen Aufenthalt in Glasgow ging es für mich weiter nach Mallaig. Mit dem Zug bin ich über den bekannten Viadukt aus Harry Potter (du kennst ihn wahrscheinlich aus dieser Filmszene) gefahren und habe somit eine der schönsten Zugstrecken in Europa gesehen. Auf der Isle of Skye habe ich mich über das Bussystem genervt, gelernt, dass der erste Montag im Mai in der UK ein Feiertag ist und das tollste Hostel überhaupt gefunden. Zum ersten Mal in meinem Leben war ich eine kurze Strecke per Anhalter unterwegs und bin dabei spannenden Personen begegnet.

In this episode we're travelling over the sea to Skye, an island of ancient jagged crags and rare breath-taking beauty, which feels as though it's washed in heaven's tears.When the first world war was declared, there was a seismic shift and everything changed forever. All of Britain felt it's pain and devastation, but it hit the Highlands the hardest. A conflict of such magnitude, billions of spent bullets and millions dead, the sorrow and suffering it cause is impossible to comprehend. I'm in Portree, exploring its impact on one small community, trying to come to terms with the magnitude of the Great War.To help support the making of this podcast sign up to Neil Oliver on Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/neiloliverHistory & CommentNew Videos Every Week Instagram account – Neil Oliver Love Letter https://www.instagram.com/neiloliverloveletter/?hl=en Neil Oliver YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnVR-SdKxQeTvXtUSPFCL7g See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In the latest episode of the Skyetime Podcast, Simon Cousins talks to Janette Sutherland of SAC Consulting in Portree. Janette is involved in two collaborative projects with SkyeConnect. The first, thanks to a grant of £7700 from NatureScot through the ‘Better Places Green Recovery Fund, involves a feasibility study into creating a ‘Skye Foundation’ to provide visitor information about land management on Skye with a view to encouraging voluntary donations that will, in turn, fund projects to protect, preserve and restore Skye’s landscape.The second project is providing information for Crofters considering creating Motorhome stop-over pitches on their land. This information will include everything from planning issues to the infrastructure required to dispose of wastewater from Motorhomes. The project is funded by the University Innovation Fund from the Scottish Funding Council. After listening to the Podcast, anyone with a question can contact Janette directly by email – janette.sutherland@sac.co.uk

Talleres de Fotografía de Paisaje con Rafa Irusta CÓMO FUE MI VIAJE FOTOGRÁFICO A ESCOCIA Después de varias peticiones de oyentes del podcast a través de mensajes y correos, por fin hago un repaso del viaje fotográfico que hice  a Escocia junto a Iratxe. No sé si recuerdas, que en el episodio 17 de Distancia Hiperfocal ya te contaba cómo estábamos preparando el viaje. Por fin llegó el momento y el día el 4 de septiembre empezamos la aventura en el Aeropuerto de Bilbao, hasta el 18 de septiembre. Dos semanas recorriendo 2.323,89 km (1.444 millas).  Creo que ya sabes que me gusta dejar reposar las fotos, pero esta vez he querido hacer una selección rápida y revelarlas lo antes posible, para poder compartirlas en este artículo.

Página web: http://mitchellk-photos.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mitchellkphotos/ Otras redes: https://www.facebook.com/mitchellkphotos, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC13AGxW0HsbQz4KrFknpRRg ¿Por qué destaca? Aunque nació en Minsk (Bielorrusia), Mitchell Kanashkevich lleva gran parte de su vida viviendo en Sydney (Australia). Es fotógrafo profesional desde 2007. Aunque su primera pasión no fue la fotografía sino la cinematografía, que fue la carrera que estudió en la universidad. Como muchos de nosotros, fue su amor por los viajes lo que le llevó a convertirse en fotógrafo de viajes. Su trabajo es fundamentalmente documental, con un interés especial por la gente y, siempre que sea posible, por las culturas antiguas y las tradiciones. Usa la luz de forma magistral y algo a lo que le presta muchísima atención a la hora de hacer sus fotos, sobre todo de personas. Por eso, no duda en llevar reflectores, mover a los sujetos, etc. En ese sentido, muchas de sus fotos no son espontáneas. Tampoco duda en recurrir a lo que en inglés se llama fixers o ayudantes locales que suelen conocer la zona como la palma de su mano, hablan el idioma y permiten que Mitchell llegue a sitios más inaccesibles. Esto le permite trabajar en determinados proyectos y serie de fotos que le ayudan a contar una historia con mayor profundidad,

Mike Coe provides a progress update on his second self build project, with finances being stretched as construction is set to begin. Check out the show notes for more information.

So on the Bank Holiday Monday we decided to crack on from Portree after a good days rest and hit the trail heading for The Storr via Ben Dearg. Although I had done some research on the route before we left, every piece I read spoke of talking the alternative coastal route which on reflection would have been (a) a walk with a view and (b) so much nicer and quicker underfoot. That stretch as you leave Portree is just boggy common ground. So it was heather bashing for hours before we even got the Ben Dearg. Plus we had 3 tall barbed wire fences to negotiate with no crossing places that we could see for half a kilometer either way. So even so there way a vague path marked on the map, nothing on the ground made for easy walking. More on the website ....

The beginning of May 2018 saw Rose and I start the tough but rewarding Skye Trail starting in the south at Broadford and heading to the most northerly point at Rubha Hunish. The reason we chose the start there was mainly due to transport limitations, as the bus from Glasgow gets into Broadford at 9pm after a long days travel (6hr bus journey) and to get the to northernly start, would have taken another 24 hours. So in an effort to get started without further delay we chose Broadford. The trail is described as being a walk of two halves. The first half for us should be easy going trail walking and the second half from Portree north, a much tougher mountain walk along sections which have limited escape. So this also helped our decision, as we felt the first few days would get us back to being hill fit before tackling the nortious Trotternish Ridge. This podcast covers the first 2 days as we made our way towards the romantically named Camasunary Bothy. As you'll hear the weather made life difficult. After a lovely start it felt very wrong. However while the rest of the UK was basking in a heatwave, the isle of Scotland were stuck under a heavy cloud which just didn't budge for the next 2 weeks.

Hear a Scotsman share about Scottish culture and Scottish Gaelic translation. More specifically about the historic divide and differences between mainland Scotland culture and history knowledge and the more remote Scottish Highland and Hebrides Islands where things like Scottish Gaelic language has remained woven into daily life and regional culture. This travel podcast episode is a is a rare treat that combines a personal story and also a brief audio lesson in Scottish Gaelic translation. For the Scottish Gaelic audio lesson, you’ll hear specific examples going back to city names in Scotland that were named originally in Gaelic and have certain meaning, but in today’s English speaking world we just think of that as the name of that city, without realizing the Gaelic roots and significance of why the city has that name. By personal story, you will hear a Scotsman's concern over the loss of Gaelic in Scotland over time, coming from a person who grew up speaking Scottish Gaelic. … QUOTES: “So, I do worry about the loss of certain things within the language.” “As the language changes, people just think it’s the name of something rather than having a meaning.” “Inver, in the Gaelic language means, at the end of water.” “So, it was a way of not just naming places, but giving them a description so that when people were traveling they could see it and they would find it.” “I worry that, through that, we'll lose, forget, why things were named and what they were called.” “Portree… it's called Port, as in harbor, and Ree as in the old Gaelic for king.” “I don't want them to be forgotten for that.

The Isle of Lewis is on the same Island as Harris but so very separate in many ways. Lewis is best known for the impressive Callanish standing stones that date back to the Bronze Age. There are also the Lewis chessmen, a group of 78 12th-century chess pieces uncovered in 1831. They're extremely rare and carved in walrus ivory. None remain on Lewis; they're in museums in London and Edinburgh. Lynn also ventures to The Isle of Skye in the Inner Hebrides where she met some young pipers who happened to be playing in Portree.

In the second of our Scottish Highland trilogy of podcasts, Ryan is up in Portree chatting to Gaelic poet Maoilios Caimbeul (Myles Campbell) and English poet Mark O. Goodwin about their new book, "The Two Sides of the Pass", a conversation in poems across two languages and the landscape of the Isle of Skye. Presented by Ryan van Winkle. Produced by Colin Fraser. Incidental music by Ewen Maclean.
