- @jocelynanderson.bsky.social We call them tree creepers in the UK
- This landslide in south Scotland happened 10,000 years ago after the ice age ended and the ice melted. Awesome!
- Great sky today!
- Dinosaur footprint on the Isle of Skye coast, imprinted in Jurassic mud about 165 million years ago!
- Great skies today!
- New evidence: Glyphosate causes cancer -- even at exposure levels that authorities consider safe. We've got to BAN #GLYPHOSATE EVERYWHERE! action.eko.org/a/glyphosate...
- Hadrian’s Wall,built AD122 during the Roman occupation of Britain. The wall is to the right, the cliffs to the left are the Whin Sill, formed by magma intruding along sedimentary beds approx 300 million years ago. The Romans used this natural cliff as a foundation for the Roman wall. Awesome!
- A historic cosmetics testing ban is crumbling. Across Europe, rabbits, rats, fish, and other animals are used in cruel cosmetics tests under the pretext of the EU chemicals regulation. Demand that officials change the law now! petauk.org/45r
- The magma chamber of the Ardnamurchan volcano in west Scotland, erupted 60 million years ago. Now exposed by erosion, when active it was 4 km below ground. This is part of crustal rifting and formation of the North Atlantic Ocean. It is awesome to be able to walk inside the ancient chamber now!
- Coastal views of the isles of Coll and Tiree off west coast of Scotland.
- The Isle of Mull (W. Scotland) is a beautiful place with fabulous scenery & wildlife, an ancient volcano and good walking.
- Isle of Mull, West Scotland, with lots of individual basalt lava flows, erupted around 58 million years ago. Due to crustal rifting and opening up of the North Atlantic Ocean.
- The beautiful islands of Coll and Tiree in west Scotland, superb for birdwatching and absolute peace!
- Some photos of the hills of south Scotland. I never tire of them.
- Fabulous storm clouds over the hills of south Scotland

- This is the island of St Kilda 110 miles west of the Scottish mainland, an explosive volcano which erupted 60 Million years ago, as the crust rifted apart to form the North Atlantic Ocean
- I just love the wild beauty of Scotland, can’t stop photographing it.
- Mice and rats are cut open, their intestines punctured so that faeces leaks into their bodies in ineffective sepsis experiments – urge the government to put an end to this petauk.org/460
- Millions of Palestinians are starving. Now a humanitarian ship en route to Gaza is being targeted by Israel. On board: food, medicine & 12 activists. The EU must act now to stop the aid blockade on Gaza! action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-6-...
- I returned to my great love Geology after 40 years and loving it! See my YouTube lecture on magma mixing under volcanoes (Edinburgh geology society).
