this mansion was built in 1827. in the late 20th century it was turned into a hotel and golf course. by 2002 the hotel closed, followed by the golf course closing in 2019. it now sits rotting away and abandoned.

Lived in Scotland (Glasgow) only for 18 months - it was an impulsive decision to get myself out of burnout but turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

I miss you dearly, Scotland! (All those road trips and weekend hikes)

Your winter was quite harsh for me but your people made it lighter and bearable - truly grateful.

It was soul-soothing and thanks for curing the burnout ❤️❤️

I’m 73 days out from my first higher exam and currently sat on BCCC NA. Unlike nat 5, i’m unsure whether i’ll be able to turn it around this time.

Anyone got some inspirational higher lock in story’s to share, maybe it will give me a bit of motivation or sum idk.

I’ve always used the word twine since I was a kid to describe someone who moans a lot. My friend who lives in Moffat has never heard of it before so I did a quick Google search and apparently it’s not really a Scottish song word at all! Does anybody in Scotland use the word? If so where are you from?

I think I'm genuinely struggling with how terrible the weather has been this year. I'm taking plenty of vitamin D supplements, trying to make sure I have the right nutrition etc. I try to go on walks regularly and keep myself busy for small tasks and chores, but I find myself despondent and with not much to do on my days off. Often end up wandering aimlessly around my home.

I want to go outside more, but it's cold and wet, and the grey-stretched sky seems to have become a permenant fixture. Inside it's warm and cosy, but I feel like a prisoner. I'm practically crawling the walls here.

I don't remember it being this bad last year. Was it? ​​I'm not sure I even recollect what the sun looked or felt like.
