Highland fling

All that sunshine we had in Edinburgh …? It was just a fluke. We spent Sunday in the Highlands, where the true essence of Scotland revealed itself.

We're staying at the Ballachulish Hotel (middle photo), just a few miles from the peaks of Aonach Dubh, Beinn Fhada and Gearr Aonach - the mountains known collectively as the Three Sisters of Glencoe.

We hiked the valley spread out like a colorful blanket laid at the feet of the Sisters. Later, we strolled the picture-perfect streets of the village Glencoe.

Today we're bound for the Isle of Skye.

i looked up the article about Frome and apparently one of the other ones voted hardest to pronounce is Ballachulish in Scotland and i was like surely that one's not actually hard to pronounce its just scottish but then i looked it up and apparently the 'ch' isn't pronounced as in 'loch' so now i don't know what to think

I have fond memories of watching these birds messing about on the shinty field at Ballachulish in Glencoe, but I decided to draw them in a more traditional setting…

Ancient Ballachulish Goddess from Scotland.

Ballachulish is a small seaside village in the Scottish Highlands where this figure known as the Ballachulish Goddess was found. She is now in the National Museum in Edinburgh.

She is a figure carved from a single alder tree with stones for eyes and was dug up from the peat in Ballachulish and found with a stand of woven branches like the ones behind her. She may have been the Cailleach as this mountain was near where she stood looking out to the straits of Loch Linnhe.

GODSTONES - NUADA

Nuada is portrayed in the lore as a noble king and warrior, who wields a magical sword and sacrifices both his hand and his kingship to aid the Tuatha Dé. He appears in such tales as The Fate of the Children of Tuireann and both Battles of Moytura. He may also be an ancestor of Fionn Mac Cumhaill, and may be related to (or identical with) Nechtan.

This is an art series depicting the Gaelic gods as ancient statues, with designs loosely inspired by historical finds, such as the Boa Island and Tandragee idols from Northern Ireland, and the Ballachulish Figure from Scotland. In this piece, Nuada is pictured with his signature sword and silver hand.
