A day in the life... . Adding a puppy to the mix can be tricky, but the terriers we have are doing well with the new pointer. . My mornings are starting a little earlier as I get the puppy up and out for toilet training, but he's coming along great. . Only been with us a week, but settled beautifully and becoming part of the family already. . . . . . #thescottishcountrymansdogs #thescottishcountryman #rhu #hungarianvizsla #puppyrhu #puppytraining #puppylove
Happy Saturday, folks! . Hope your weekend gives you some time out and time outdoors. . A fly-fishing day for me today. . #tightlines . #thescottishcountryman #flyfishingexperience #fishinginscotland #fishinginfife #tryflyfishing #trysomethingnew
Soft evening skies over the flying field at Hammer Inn. . During the day, this place is full of the sound of song birds, busy with the business of flying to feed but, at dusk, the calm and quiet falls like a blanket. . Wish you could experience it? You can! . We're going to be offering B&B later in the summer. Message if you'd like to know when we're open. . . . . . #thescottishcountryman #thescottishcountrymanb&b #stayathammerinn #countryb&b #countryside #scottishcountryside #eastneukoffife #stayintheeastneuk

Argyll! . He turns one, soon. It's been a quick year. But the fastest part is the first few months, when owl chicks change from being baby bundles of fluff to sleek densely feathered owls. . We'll do a big post all about it soon but I'm keen to answer your owl-related Qs at the same time. . What would you like to know about Argyll? Or Snowy Owls or owls in general? . Fire away! You've got a week and I'm all ears. Unlike an owl... 😉 . . . . . #thescottishcountryman #thescottishcountrymansowls #owl #snowyowl #argyll #argyllthesnowyowl #hedwig #harrypottersowl #owls
Who IS that?! . If you can't tell, my FB page for @thescottishcountryman - inspired falconry has the answer 😉 . . . . . #thescottishcountryman #thescottishcountrymansstory
