Here's an offering for #TombTuesday from a visit to Orkney some years ago: Cuween Hill Chambered Cairn (Maeshowe-type), a 5,000 year-old #Neolithic tomb, excavated in 1901, where the bones of people and dogs were found. The (totemic?) dogs were about the size of large collies. #DailyMegalith

Over the last five years the team at WildLand Cairngorms has tracked the movements of raptors in this landscape. They can see that these birds have travelled extensively – with some Golden Eagles being tracked as far as the Inner Hebrides! bit.ly/TreasureAndC... @cairngormsnews.bsky.social

30km cycle in the snow today, mostly because I just fancied sitting at the table at Auchtavan, with coffee and cake, watching distant Lochnagar 🙂 Decidedly (d)icey for much of the tracks at the bottom of Culardoch but mostly it was just the lovely crunch of soft snow under wheels 🙂

Another update to this: two further lynx have now been sighted out in the area this morning (Friday 10th January). Again, the public are asked to stay away from the animals to avoid disturbance or hamper the efforts to safely capture the lyxn.
