Great to host @RochefortLine in @TheFlowCountry week and show her @marginswebber PhD research on peatland margins on the beautiful @RSPBNorthScot Forsinard Knockfin Heights. She also managed to capture #bogdog Finn showing us how to do a veg survey! #peattwitter @UHI_Research

Our 2nd year BA (Hons) Film Making students have teamed up with @ERI_UHI to film a short documentary highlighting the importance of peatlands in Caithness and Sutherland in the ongoing fight against climate change. #NHCUHI #ThinkUHI

Perfect start to the week learning how eddy covariance towers work with @PeteOnPeat and #OGbogdog! Very fascinating pieces of equipment and a great day out on the bog.

Examined some peatland margins today with a penetrometer from @RichardLindsa16 at @PlantlifeScot Munsary. Fair to say they are pretty dense! Helped of course by my favourite field pals @peatSAR and #bogdog

According to the scientists @ThinkUHI The answer to climate change could be under our feet: Peat. Read all about our trip to The Flow Country with @Flowsresearch here (horizontal rain not pictured) #climateroadtrip #COP26 @pressjournal @KNBeattie pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/new…

The answer to climate change could be beneath our feet: peat It is isolated, boggy and raining horizontally. Scotland’s largest peatland may not be as

Fantastic first proper day of fieldwork at Knockfin Heights with @peatSAR and #bogdog showing me the ropes! Bring on those margins.

Pro tip: if you can't order a mini Guinness, order a tia Maria and add the foam from your proper Guinness to make one!

In September @Tartan_Shark kindly gave me some glass bottles for my own brewing. Today I saw them stocked in my local craft beer shop and needless to say the standard is still amazing! Must try for any lovers of Weiss Bier!! 🍻

Apparently Scotland is actually a pretty nice place? So after 4 years here I finally decided to see it.
