On the Isle of Skye, there exists a series of mystical ponds known as "fairy pools." The water is crystal clear, and you can see soft moss growing in them. Dr. Inteleon is eager to document the pools and the legends surrounding them.

Zakochałem się w Szkocji. Wrzucam ją w top 4 na mojej liście miejsc w których byłem! Zjechaliśmy trochę Isle od Skye i Glencoe - stąd są te zdjęcia. W ogóle foty są z #sonya7c i 35mm. Świetny jest ten aparat, wchodzi do kieszeni, obrazek piękny, same plusy, tylko wizjer mały więc chyba pierwszy raz zrobiłem wszystkie zdjęcia patrząc w ekran. Nie wciskając tutaj nikomu kitu reklamowego to na prawdę zauroczyłem się tym małym aparatem. Nawet przy tym wyjeździe zrobiłem nim kilka komercyjnych zdjęć i myślę, że w paru innych przypadkach gdzie nie potrzebuję milionów pixeli dałbym radę robić nim zlecenia a przede wszystkim mieć dobry „kieszonkowy” aparat. Puszczę jeszcze jakieś inne foty z tego wyjazdu. #sonya7club #scotlandexplore #scotland_greatshots #isleofskye #scotland_insta #scotland_lover #glencoe (at Isle of Skye, Scotland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjUzLFAM6RK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Excited to be featured in this Christmas showcase run by the Historical Writers Forum - check out their Blog Hop Page on Facebook! Christmas Showcase Day 1 🎄 Needing Napoleon by Gareth Williams https://www.amazon.co.uk/Needing-Napoleon-Richard-Davey-Chronicles/dp/1914913213/ Can you change what has already happened? As a history teacher, Richard Davey knows the answer. At least, he thinks he does. On holiday in Paris, he stumbles across a curious antiques shop. The eccentric owner reveals a secret Richard dares not believe. Richard’s conviction that Napoleon Bonaparte should have won the Battle of Waterloo could be put to the test. Accurate historical detail collides with the paradox of time travel as an ordinary 21st century man is plunged into the death throes of the French empire.

Isle of Skye(Scotland): Land of Warrior Women
I try to stick to Scottish folklore, but even though this one is from Irish mythology, it has ties with Scotland.
Scáthach is a Scottish warrior woman from Irish lore, and she is not just described as being from Scotland, but specifically from the Isle of Skye.
“What is interesting in Irish myth, however, it the appearance of female warriors who are not queens, but professional warriors. The best known among them is Scathach (shadowy one) whose school of martial arts was situated on the Isle of Skye, Sgiathanach, in modern Scots Gaelic.”
Celtic Women: Women in Celtic Society and Literature: Peter Berresford Ellis (1995)
She would not train just anyone, however. No, she would only train people already talented enough to be worthy of her time, which meant they would have to be able to force their way into her fortress. If they could do that, she might consider training them.
In tales, the Irish warrior, Cú Chulainn, was sent there with a few others, and it is there that Scáthach teaches them to fight. It is even her who gives Cú Chulainn his famous spear, Gáe Bulg.
Her residence was said to be at Dún Scáith, and legend says that the ruins of Dunscaith Castle is the same spot where Dún Scáith once stood.
While looking up how to try and pronounce Dún Scáith, I accidently found out that it is also a location in Final Fantasy XIV, so there you go, Final Fantasy fans.; this is where the name came from.
