Dunvegan Castle on the Isle Of Skye is one the greatest Hebridean castles and the only Highland fortress to have been continuously occupied by the same family for 800 years. My drawing is available… https://theweeowlart.etsy.com/listing/1718231476

Did I spend too much on a hat at the gift shop? No thank you, I spent a very good amount for a hat at the gift shop given how pretty it was.

Dunvegan Castle

Home to the MacLeod chiefs to this day. Some beautiful views

And impressive garden features

Can you imagine having not one but two waterfalls in your garden?!

And some interesting insight into the downstairs workers of a (at least partially) 13th century castle.

I was going to flail about a fictional Scotsman too, but yesterday turned into a shit show. Hopefully I'll be able to flail about Jamie properly soon.

Tribute Name: Ropa Moyo

Age: 14-15 (throughout series)

Media: Edinburgh Nights series

Restrictions: No magic and no communication with the dead

Propaganda: "She's a scrappy teen drop out. she already lives in a dystopian society so that's not anything new for her to adjust to. She's had to fight for everything she, her grandmother, and her sister have had for the last few years. Got them from a gang encampment (where she helped with the thieving) to a tiny trailer on some farm land (going legit as well). She might be more accustomed to an urban environment, but given the resources in the training facility; she is a quick learner and can pick up nature tips there. She also operates in a world older than her so she has seen some things. Ropa has gone after many much more powerful foes in the series so a big 18 year old boy with throwing knives or broad sword wouldn't be absurd for her. She would have a difficult time with gaining sponsors because she is very rough around the edges but she can turn on the charm at times to get what she needs from the Capitol. tldr: she's basically very Katniss coded, but with dystopian Edinburgh and not dystopian rural West Virginia. and a elderly grandmother not clinically depressed mother."

„Gran's always told me I should be more compassionate. The problem is I find it much easier to feel for the orphans freezing outside the gate than to be sympathetic to a laird with his own private castle. Boohoo, cry me a river.“

Review:

Oh, Ropa, Ropa, Ropa! It was so interesting to try to see where it was going. Major twists and turns in the third installment of the series. I can't believe I have to wait til November for the next book in the series. It's like a Scottish Ghostbusters vibe and I am and will always be here for it.

The gardens continue to be very wet but pretty. Although their paths meander back and forth a lot, which can make it a bit hard to tell how to get to a specific location.

I’m especially pleased to find a giant rhubarb growing here, allowing for an Arrietty moment.

The cafe also sells the BEST fruit scone I’ve ever had.

"Get ready, because there are new must-read science fiction and fantasy books hitting the shelves this month! It’s time to trek to the bookstores and the beach, the library and the lake, or any combination of the four. After all, reading outside is a bit of a seasonal requirement.

Personally, I love reading sci-fi and fantasy books in the summer. When I have a few hours on a back deck or a beach or in a park, falling into a new magic system or sci-fi what-if is so appealing. I’ve always found it so much easier to disconnect from distractions when it’s nice out. It must be a holdover from the New Englander urge to appreciate good weather when it comes. Nevertheless, if it helps me settle into a good book, I’m not complaining. With August coming at the tail end of the summer season, it has the greatest potential for reading."
