OK here's some pics, but the problem with photos is that they fail to capture the sense of the huge open spaces that you're surrounded by on clear days.

Yeah, there are no open spaces because your country is becoming Englandistan.
Do know what natural resources are?

I will give you a hint , you don't have nearly what we do.

Yeah open land is bad thing? lol

What about all those open spaces that the rich have claimed. Royal and wealthly estates.

Our open spaces are great. We can have overcrowded cities, desserts, tropical climates, Siberia like weather and everything in between. Yeah a small overcrowded country that doesn't have much in way of natural resources, LMAO.

Some people like the outdoors and variety. The UK is tiny overcrowded and basically going nowhere but down.

How much is rent and living costs? Overcrowding is a wonderful thing I guess. I bet lack of natural resources and lack of land is a good thing.lol

You prefer Wales or Scotland?

Good question. And a toughy. I prefer the landscapes of Wales - at least the parts of both countries I’ve spent any time in - but much prefer the people of Scotland.

I’ve never once felt unsafe or unwelcome in Scotland. Was made to feel both in Wales all the time.

However, there are certainly many contributing factors in both cases so not an easy decision… but Scotland definitely wins ❤️

I'm being 100% LEGIT here, I am not joking.
It looks like something from another planet or the moon crossed with some landscape dreamed up in the mind of J.R.R. Tolkien.

The last photo that has the road sign about no markings for the next 2 miles looks like New Zealand meeting Norway, it is rare I am lost for words but in this case nothing I know in the English language is worth my typing to express the RAW EPIC NATURE this place must have.
It's one of those places that you have to actually go & see before you will understand it, like the other day when The Northern Lights were out over the UK, people can look at them in photos all day, that is fuck all & is nothing compared to when you see them in real life.

All the photos my mom showed me of Fløyen AKA Fløyfjellet when I came back from my 1st trip to Norway made me smile, it doesn't do justice to the truly EPIC scale that Nature has made, people can look at pictures all day, it isn't till you actually go yourself & get to the top then look out it hits you, I can tell this is 100% the same case with The Isle of Skye but THANK YOU for sharing these, I have a small idea of how EPIC this place really is. I am 100% GRATEFUL for your time to hunt them down & share them with me & the rest of EADD, it means more to me than you will ever know.

what is this "we do" about?
You own land yourself huh? When you die the piece of land that is yours will vanish & go with you into the "afterlife" or will vanish from the sight of people who are alive & go with you into the grave I assume?

I had the feeling it was going 173* to the North-West then it was going direct to the bottom of The Sargasso Sea.

Well all the poor who have come here & turned The UK into "Englandistan" aren't coming with much cash, I guess they are trying to start a TAZ maybe.

"Are we who live in the present doomed never to experience autonomy, never to stand for one moment on a bit of land ruled only by freedom? Are we reduced either to nostalgia for the past or nostalgia for the future? Must we wait until the entire world is freed of political control before even one of us can claim to know freedom? Logic and emotion unite to condemn such a supposition. Reason demands that one cannot struggle for what one does not know; and the heart revolts at a universe so cruel as to visit such injustices on our generation alone of humankind.

To say that “I will not be free till all humans (or all sentient creatures) are free” is simply to cave in to a kind of nirvana-stupor, to abdicate our humanity, to define ourselves as losers.

I believe that by extrapolating from past and future stories about “islands in the net” we may collect evidence to suggest that a certain kind of “free enclave” is not only possible in our time but also existent. All my research and speculation has crystallized around the concept of the TEMPORARY AUTONOMOUS ZONE (hereafter abbreviated TAZ). Despite its synthesizing force for my own thinking, however, I don’t intend the TAZ to be taken as more than an essay (“attempt”), a suggestion, almost a poetic fancy. Despite the occasional Ranterish enthusiasm of my language I am not trying to construct political dogma. In fact I have deliberately refrained from defining the TAZ — I circle around the subject, firing off exploratory beams. In the end the TAZ is almost self-explanatory. If the phrase became current it would be understood without difficulty...understood in action."


Hail Englandistan.

I had to write this down as I had forgotten it several times, I am reading about The KLF at the moment (The KLF: Chaos, Magic and the Band who Burned a Million Pounds by John Higgs) & they KLF burned the million quid on The Island of Jura, just off The Island of Islay, The Inner Hebrides, ever been there?

I also had no idea that Scotland had The Inner Hebrides, when you think about it if they have an outer Hebrides they must have an outer one.
I worry myself at times in regard to how fucking stupid I can be, I should be watched for my own safety when I have a plastic spoon FFS.

Thanks ZB!

I'm pretty sure the mountain on the front left, in the last pic, is a volcano. It's a typical / classical volcanic mountain shape AFAIK. And it strangely fascinated me as soon as I saw it, as I've not knowingly seen a volcano before in the UK, (or anywhere else for that matter!) but I was running out of time the first time I passed it, and had to go back another day to get the photo. If it didn't look like such a beast of a climb (it was pretty big!) and if I'd had more time, I'd have liked to have tried to climb it, and maybe see if there was a crater and stuff on top. But with there being almost absolutely nothing growing on it, it must be pure rock, no soil, and that probably also confirms that its a volcano.

I really wish I hadn't dropped Geography at school and studied it to O level and A level grade, as I'm really interested in natural landscapes, and that kind of thing, and how they were formed, and all that kind of stuff.

I guess professional photographers have the technology and skills to capture more of the sense of expansiveness, but for amateurs like me, my photos are pretty much reduced to capturing the scene as best as I can, even though it's literally looking at the scene and capturing it through a small window, and that's all I could capture out of the 360 degree surroundings. At least with a digital camera though obviously you can just point and click as many times as your memory cards allow, which is what I do, and then I select the pics that came out best aferwards, when I upload them to my computer.

Skye is a very special place. I was there in May last year, just before peak season, and the weather was bright and clear throughout. That really makes a huge difference, and the bright sunlight lifts the whole thing, and makes the whole thing 'pop' and look and feel so much more vibrant. It's kind of like listening to music after taking a good stimulant!

It's absolutely not a commercialised place, thank God, but it's no well kept secret any more. It was busy with visitors that week, but not unbearably and irritatingly so. (Not like visiting Snowdon or some of the Lake District's more popular mountains on a sunny bank holiday, when you just know they are going to be an absolute nightmare for crowds!)

Its not just Skye that's awesome though, as I mentioned in another post, the Glencoe road is absolutely fucking WOW, with huge dramatic mountains everywhere, and then the whole of the last hour just before Skye is also amazing. The landscapes are so epic. And it just keeps going on, for mile after mile, with every corner you turn offering more fantastic views. I've never seen anything more stunning in the UK.

Can you give me an example of what people in Wales did to make you feel that way?

Gathered a literal posse to, in their own words, “run me out of town”. Funnily enough this stuck with me as I’d only recently moved in.

Some seriously awkward and unpleasant pub visits too. I ended up just staying in and posting on BL cos they were so insanely unwelcoming to outsiders.

The reason for all this hostility was the local pharmacist told people he dispensed methadone to me and me alone. Was downhill from there… :|

EDIT: not yet been to any of the islands, but definitely on my bucket list!

This happened right as I first moved to Wales (for obvious reasons - man needed his script!) so it cast a long shadow over my decade plus living there :\

Arguably almost as bad, the previous pharmacist flat refused to have methadone on his premises so I had to wait til the auld cunt retired before I could even move in the first place :!

Fucked up. I've only ever had to deal with people who treat methadone / bupe patients like normal people.
