    Word of the day: "shieling" - a shelter, bothy or hut built near an area of summer pasture for grazing animals; also the pasture itself (Scots). Ruined/relic shielings are common in Scottish highlands & islands, often sited in remote, beautiful locations.

    Word of the day: "Pasqueflower" - rare & beautiful deep-purple petalled flower, with feathery grey-green leaves, that blooms in late March/early April; thus its name (from the Latin "Paschalis", "relating to Passover or Easter"). The Pasqueflower loves chalklands & limestone.
