It was a real inspiration to meet and chat to Inverness's own Olympian Megan Keith at Sunday's Torvean junior parkrun before she heads to Paris to take part in the 10,000m final 🏃♀️
Good luck Megan, we'll all be cheering you on!

This Saturday sees the 40th staging of the @HighlandCross. I spoke to the event founders Calum Munro and Gerry Grant to learn more about how it all began, why it's such a special occasion and what the future holds...

A great evening walk at Dunbeath for #FingerpostFriday @ScotWays - this sign is close to the ruined Old Milton Inn, across a suitably rickety bridge. The route includes a visit to Dunbeath Broch @TheBrochProject and if you go slightly further up the strath, the Prisoner's Leap. – at Scotland, United Kingdom
Enjoyed a little off-road ride out to the bucket bridge over the Findhorn at Ruthven, where I spoke to Steve Smirthwaite about his latest Trailmap and his 20+ years of mapping the Highlands with a focus on exploring by bike. More on this to come in #ActiveOutdoors soon... – at Tomatin, Scotland
A railway once branched off the Edinburgh-Carlisle Waverley line at St Boswells in the Borders and led the ten-and-a-half miles to Kelso. Like so many of these once vital lines, this North British Railway branch is long gone.

This looked like a great show at John O’Groats last night put on by @LythArtsCentre . Brilliant review by @HNM_AHendry and some excellent photos too.

Read the incredible story of a woman who was rescued 50 years ago at the Falls of Glomach by the Kintail Mountain Rescue Team when she was an 11-year-old girl - missing death by feet, according to reports.

A fascinating talk from @ChrisGPackham and @MeganMcCubbin at @VisitDundreggan on Saturday. 🌳 They called for more to be done for nature, and at a much faster rate ahead of their new 8 Out of 10 Bats YouTube show starting on Monday 🦇

A belated #FingerpostFriday after a walk to Craig bothy for an overnighter with the kids. Not much of a sign left at Lower Diabaig but still a @ScotWays post in situ! – at Lower Diabaig, Scotland
