No better place than this to be sitting on a cold snowy afternoon

I think this advice from @Eric_Partaker for any aspiring or existing leader is right on the money. I absolutely buy into all of them but also have first hand experience of unsuccessful leaders who clearly didn’t!!

Another great day for the @HighlandCross yesterday. Delighted to be able to contribute to the running of the event at the change over point in Glen Affric. Amazing support from the army of volunteers to make it all happen and tremendous effort from every one of the competitors.

If you are reading this I wish you a Merry Christmas. If you aren’t, then I still wish you a Merry Christmas but you don’t know it 😀😀 🎅🏻🎉🎄


Absolutely broken hearted as late last night we had to say goodbye to our handsome and beloved hound Floyd. His love and loyalty was unstinting right up until the end. We are going to miss him so much but are so grateful for all the irreplaceable memories and joy he provided 💔💔

This is absolutely devastating news. My thoughts and deepest sympathies to Barry’s loved ones, friends and colleagues. Sometimes there just aren’t the right words and sadly this is one of those times

With profound sadness we can confirm that Firefighter Barry Martin has passed away following the serious injuries sustained during a large fire at the former Jenners building in Edinburgh. Interim Chief Officer Ross Haggart has issued this statement: ow.ly/HzpC50MCksc



Very concerning news breaking from Edinburgh this evening. My thoughts are with all those involved in the response and I pray for the injured firefighters to make a speedy recovery

A fantastic couple of nights entertainment for me @MidlandOfficial in the O2 Academy Glasgow last night for an outstanding performance from the band, followed by Top Gun Maverick at Vue Cinema Inverness tonight. In my opinion, both are a must see and you won’t be disappointed 😃

What a fantastic night with @AllanaMacD to see @KeithUrban in the Edinburgh Playhouse. An absolutely tremendous performance delivered with passion, desire, skill and talent from an artist who clearly loves and appreciates his audiences and who is at the top of his game. 🎸🎤🎶

Had a wee helper cutting the grass today, you would never know!!!

I got on an aeroplane today for the first time since October 2019. It was just an internal domestic flight but it felt strangely ‘new’ if that makes sense. The pandemic has had so many invisible impacts, in addition to the very visible and lived ones we have all experienced.


My latest views from the cab, stunning Northwest Highlands

Couple of days out on the road this week and enjoying the better weather. Sometimes I take for granted the natural beauty of the Highlands

I think I might know a few!!!

Word of the day is ‘pish-monger’ (17th century): one who frequently says ‘pish’ to others and treats them with contempt.



Your local Fire and Rescue Service in Highland and beyond do so much more than just fight fires. They serve their communities in so many ways and here is an opportunity for you to work with them and partners to deliver a really valuable service at the point of need

SFRS helps keep communities safe by delivering Covid testing at some of our Fire Stations. If you can help in Highland at Broadford, Portree, Ullapool, Kingussie or Grantown then head to volunteer.redcross.org.uk or scan the QR code. Thank you 👍🚒
