PlaceBook Scotland: Capture your place in words, pictures, video and music.

A chance to explore

With all the bank holidays coming up, including our extra one to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee, this May and June are a great chance to go and do some exploring.

So I am aiming to revisit a favourite place and also to visit a brand new place. I'll post the photos and my thoughts about both as I go along.

Any one fancy joining me in this little challenge?

It might give us all some ideas for the rest of the Summer - extra credit if you manage to take a picture with the sun shining or recommend a good refreshment venue!

The Placebook Book!

Placebook Scotland was set up so we could all celebrate  those places that mean something to us - be they where we live, go to work or choose to visit. 

This was going so well we decided to pull out an eclectic selection of the contributions out to create a book which gives a feel for the site and how Scotland is experienced and appreciated by the people who live and visit here.

The importance of everyday places is illustrated, alongside those more widely recognised as special.

You can get a copy of the book from Scottish Natural Heritage for the very reasonable price of £3.99.

Notes

I'm Going Back to Scotland

I’m going back to Scotland, the truth I cannot bear
That if I die so far away, I’ll not be buried there
My heart, it lies among the hills, for all the world to…
