All the best features of this weekly photo gallery are present today. We have the beauty of the
landscape, people and animals of Scotland. An added bonus is that the person who writes the
captions is in full "pun" mode. I'm pleased to see the swim vest on the dog in the "dog on boat" photo. In addition I learned a new word, "corrie"*. Enjoy!

One of my earliest heroes was John Paul Jones who commanded the U.S. Navy during the
revolution we had and he was a Scottish lad who took to the sea at a young age.
But I just like the photos of Scotland and I'm glad you do too.

(7,529 posts)Hosted by Outlander actors Sam (Jamie Fraser) and Graham (Dugal MacKenzie), it is six episodes lovingly featuring Scotland places, people and culture. It's on Starz, but you can get a trial subscription and watch the show and Outlander in a month like I did.
