If I could change one thing about #Scotland it wouldn't be the weather (what would this place be like if it were warm?!) or independence (we'll get there, I'm sure). It's the religion.

"Rest and be thankful" spot in #Scotland,
Before and after the snow (2 days ago vs today)

Photo of a hilly landscape with a road curving downwards surrounded by mossy and rocky green- yellow land, green coniferous trees on the right and several mountains on each side, also green - brown but with snowy tops. This is all below a bright blue sky with only one small cloud on the right.
Photo of the same landscape from almost the same point of view, but it looks like it's in black and white because it is entirely covered in snow, only the trees that were on the right remain dark, the sky is now fully cloudy, hiding most of the snowy peaks in the distance

Quite tempted to swap my beloved cat avatar for this one.. How can #HighlandCows look so stylish?

Photo of a Highland cow in a muddy pen, she is quite short but bulky, looking at me through her long hair, with round ears and pointy horns. On the right side, a few more cows are eating in their feeder. A hilly landscape is in the background with bushes and pine trees.

"I'd love President Trump to come and see me," she says.
"I'd soon tell him how it is being an Army wife and an Army mother, and what it is to lose a child in those circumstances, something that he knows nothing about."
I'd love for him to go meet her too. He could meet a mother from every NATO country that he has insulted and betrayed with his idiotic, ignorant and disgustingly narcissistic remarks.
This is how century-long friendships and alliances are destroyed.
Americans: don't say sorry. Say, "I'm going to change this”.

Lynx could return to Scotland – but can rewilders win over wary Highlanders?
With most Scots supportive of reintroducing the wild cat, charities are focusing on those whose jobs could be affected
