Happy Birthday Christina 'Licorice' McKechnie, born on October 2nd 1945 in Edinburgh.

This is always a difficult post for, I say Happy Birthday to Licorice, but in my heart I think she is dead, she was last heard from in 1990, and the last sighting of, "Likkie’’ as she became known, was hitchhiking across the Arizona desert.

Christina ‘Licorice’ McKechnie was born in Edinburgh in 1945, there is nothing about her early life online that I can find, her story starts when she was known around the folk clubs of Auld Reekie, reciting poetry, it was around this time she left home-and was set to marry, the late great Scottish folk musician Bert Jansch. The banns had been called, (Banns were a legal requirement and were an intention of marriage, posted for people to see in their parish,) the wedding never took place, Jansch left Scotland for Morocco.

Likkie began a relationship with Robin Williamson who along Robin,Clive Palmer and Mike Heron had form The Incredible String Band, the group split for a time when Williamson and Likkie went travelling but reformed on their return as a duo with Heron. They later played on the same bill as Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell, Likkie joined then as vocalist and they recorded the album, The 5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion.

The band went on to have success touring but had limited commercial success. They got involved with Scientology in the 60’s and it is said to have contributed to a decline in their music quality, they did however play Woodstock in 69, they were scheduled to play the first day and a fee of $4500 had been agreed, this would have been a huge sum for them back in the 60’s and you would have thought bigger things beckoned. The band didn’t appear on the film of the festival as they refused to play in the rain, their slot was taken by the fabulous Melanie (Safka) who later wrote “Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)” about her day. “String Band” played the next day on a mainly rock day, the world missed out and so did they.

By late 1969, they had established a communal base at Glen Row near Innerleithen, Likkie and Robin split around this time although she remained in the group till 1972. After a failed marriage to musician Brian Lambert she featured on an album with Williamson and his Merry men and an album with Woody Woodmansey’s band U-Boat. Beyond this, it's believed that she may have bounced around, living perhaps in Los Angeles, Arizona, and Sacramento.

The Diversity of Classic Rock website reports that McKechnie's sister last heard from her in 1990, when McKechnie had been recovering from surgery in Sacramento. The site is also one of many that claims McKechnie disappeared in the Arizona desert, but this has never been conclusively proved.

Time to hit the kitchen to grab a few grains of salt because Reddit has also weighed in on her disappearance, with unproven theories ranging from a Scientology connection to parsing the words of former bandmates who wish (emphasis on the present tense) her well.

Redditors also claim that McKechnie's family hired private investigators to find her, though they were unsuccessful. Others counter that she's been traced via a basic internet search to a small city in the States. The confusion is enough to make any casual sleuth hope that McKechnie just grew tired of the spotlight and is now happy in her anonymity.

I’ll leave it up to you to decide whether Likkie is dead, or if she is living way off grid somewhere on the other side of the Atlantic celebrating her 78th birthday.

Creative Carbon

I have decided on creating my project around the forestry and Land Scotland ( https://forestryandland.gov.scot/what-we-do ) as I can tie it in well with one of my main interests and something that I shoot a lot of at the moment mountain biking, I have been using their facilities for years now and have always been impressed with how well kept and inviting their trails have been for both walkers and bike users well sign posted and well maintained.

“Many people think our work is timber production. That’s true – but it's only part of the story. We also develop renewable energy schemes, create and maintain trails and visitor facilities and conserve habitats, wildlife and archaeological treasures.”

For this project I will be focusing more when shooting on their woodlands, trails and wild life centres as I regularly use them. 

Thanks to forestry and Land Scotland, Scotland is one of the best places on the planet for mountain biking. The network of exhilarating and challenging world-class trails forests have made the country a big hit on the mountain biking world map, and continuing to encourage many different users of all ages to get out and enjoy the outdoors.

The Forestry and Land Scotland offers a huge range of different trail centres encouraging all different age groups and different skill levels including centres at Balblair, Carron valley, Dalbeattie, forrest of Ae, Glen-tress, Glentrool, Innerleithen and many more different Forrests offering a great day out.

Throughout my range of images I hope to demonstraight and show the big part of what companies like these are doing for us and the planet making a change and getting outdoors in our natural fascinates more easily.

Throughout my shots for this brief I tried to show how these amazing spaces and facilities for us created and protected by the forestry and Land Scotland are used and how great they are to experience.

But not only Forrests that the forestry and land Scotlands interests go to but also playing a huge part in in Climate change in fact Scotland’s forests and land are key in fighting the impact of the Climate Emergency and biodiversity loss. “We’re already adapting how we work, but there are more opportunities to take action across our forests and land. And only by putting nature at the heart of our actions can we truly make a difference. To do this, we're using nature-based solutions and ensuring that biodiversity is a focus in everything we do. We manage 9% of Scotland: our work will go a long way to creating a sustainable country and reaching Net Zero.”

Mountain bike en Escocia con Scotty Laughland, parte 2

Mountain bike en Escocia con Scotty Laughland, parte 2

Hace unas semanas te dejé 3 videos del rider Scotty Laughland de una serie de 6 rodando por diferentes zonas de Escocia. El jueves publicó el último de la serie y aquí te dejo esos tres videos finales. El último es justamente en la que quizás es la zona más conocida de Escocia para MTB, Innerleithen y Glentress, donde tuvo lugar la última carrera de la EWS 2021.
