Posted on 26th Oct 2018     2 Comments

Previously, in Part 2, we made our way across Isle of Mull, from Craignure to Fionnphort. Then, we took a short ferry and arrived on Iona and we were greeted by amazing weather and spectacular scenery. Exploring the island took us the whole day and due to your favorite blogger’s numptyness for not wearing appropriate […]

ɹɐɔ Sometimes, a wee change of persepctive is needed. Maybe this isn't the most creative photo, but I got a slight giggle from it πŸ˜…. Let me know what you think and/or comment what your favourite car is, if you have one. The e46 series BMW pictured here on the streets of Edinburgh is definitely one of my favoritesπŸ‘Œ.

A bridge, somewhere in Edinburgh! Who can tell me where these lyrics come from: when you go, will you send back a letter from America?

Lauriston Castle/Scottish weather Well, this is what it's like. I was blessed enough to find nice weather for the majority of my photo trips but lately, it's just rain everywhere.

Lauriston Castle Although I 100% love the sun, there's something to be said about the light right after rain! I think it makes for some delightful colours, don't you agree?

Traveling Thanks to Instagram being down, very few of you saw the stories yesterday and the result was 50-50 holiday shots to Scottish shotsπŸ˜…. Let me know in the comments below if you want what you want to see more but it seems I'll just do a mix. For now, I'll leave you with this shot of the cliffs of Isle of May! Hope everyone has a great day! For more Scottish travel blogs and photography please click the link in bio or visit mysaturdaydrive.com. If you like my content, consider following!
Bunny Take that #coosday! No cows on Isle of May! Just these cute little bunnies! Despite their numbers, I found it very hard to spot them but I got quite a nice little glimpse here! Here's a fun fact. They don't really have any predators (besides the ocasional gull who probably would also eat humans if it had the patience) so their numbers are solely dependant on food abundance. And another one: they keep the vegetation down, allowing puffins to excavate their burrows! Let me know what you think in the comments below! As always, I appreciate each and every one of you commenting and like to spark up conversations!

Isle of May Lighthouse Here's a closer look at the spiral stairs taking you up to the top of the lighthouse. Mind your head or you'll bump it into the metal door frame at the top and you won't feel very good after πŸ˜‚. What's everyone up to? We've had a touristy day in Edinburgh and got caught in a thunderstorm haha! Visit mysaturdaydrive.com for more Scotland photography and travel blogs. If you like what you see, geez a follow!
Isle of May Lighthouse It was built in 1816 by someone called Robert Stevenson. It's a gothic tower on a castellated stone building, designed to resemble a castle. It can accommodate 3 lightkeepers and their families! It has been automated since 1989 and it flashes twice every 15 seconds, visible up to 41 km away! I loved visiting this place. You can even go inside and climb the spiral staircase to the top to get a panoramic view of the isle! Leave a comment if you'd like. Alternatively, all my photos can now be viewed on mysaturdaydrive.com under the photography section, given that Instagram only shows them to only a meer few of you..

Isle of May Low Light Lighthouse This is one of the lighthouses on Isle of May. It was only used for 40 years and now it's a living quarters for the island's bird observatory. Would you live here? Comment below! I know I would! I've made some improvements to the website, at mysaturdaydrive.com. Let me know if it looks good/easy to use!

Eider Duck, Isle of May Thank you all who voted to continue seeing more photos from Isle of May. EIDER my photos weren't up to par or the infamous algorythm was out at play again (see what I did there?) But anyways, dad jokes aside, here's another one of these lovely duckies dotted everywhere on the Island. I tried to edit it a bit more to give it some pop as this was taken in broad day light, when the light is harshest. If you want to debate shooting only when the light is perfect vs any time, or if you simply want to insult me for my puns, please feel free to comment! Otherwise, head over to mysaturdaydrive.com for more non-offensive Scotland content. If you do like my puns, consider following! The photos tend to be alright too!
Isle of May Beacon Built in 1635, three floors high and burning 400 tons of coal a year, the Beacon was the first permanently manned lighthouse in Scotland! It was privately owned and the owners charged a fee for the ships which made use of it. The small stretch of sea was notorious for shipwrecks and certain locals weren't in favour of the lighthouse as they supplemented their incomes by scavenging these shipwrecks! I'll leave a link in bio for more info on it! Let me know what you think in the comments below! Always appreciate your input and conversation!

Eider Duck "I'll eider duck or hiss if you dare disturb my eggs!".... I shall see myself out.. Seriously though, although I am no where near equiped to take wildlife photos, I couldn't help take a little portraits of one of these lovely ducks on Isle of May! Did you know they would much rather die than stand up and leave their eggs? I couldn't help but like them when I heard this! If you ever plan on visiting the isle when they are nesting (typically May, June) just be careful because they are dotted around everywhere and you can't even see them and you might even step on them! Comment what your favourite animal is or at least comment to insult me for my pathetic jokes, either way, it's appreciated!

Puffins it's funny how I had never seen them at all until Isle of May and when I finally see them, it's all of them haha! it's funny how things works out! A fun fact which I was able to dig out thanks to the lovely audience on Facebook is that in the UK this is a protected species but in Iceland they are in the millions and are not! Therefore people eat them! Debate whether that's fair or not below!
