The Scenery of the Dee Book is now reissued

Example from my old Deeside Piper work recently added to the Banchory Heritage Facebook site
 
 
Seeing the Aurora Borealis in Scotland and the UK.
 
Two Internet sites that will help you to see displays:
www.spaceweather.com
Site gives best predictive information about Solar activity and likely storms affecting the Earth.
 
I would recommend looking at the Aurora Photo Gallery and seeing fantastic photographs of Aurora displays around the world, usually happening every night.
 
http://aurorawatch.lancs.ac.uk
Alert service for the AuroraWatch advising of storms happening from data source currently using a magnetometer source from Sumburgh.

Noctilucent Clouds-meteor dust in the upper atmosphere-a rare summer event.
Born in Torphins with my early schooling in Banchory I later returned to Royal Deeside in Aberdeenshire in 1974, after 2 years in Australia and then studying an HND in Business Studies at Cambridge College of Arts and Technology and a DMS at Dundee Tech. I lived in Banchory until 1990 before moving to Crooktree at Kincardine O'Neil.
 
In 1986, after being made redundant from the Oil Industry I established myself as a freelance photographer and began compiling an extensive collection of my photographs North East Scotland landscape photographs after I established my freelance photography business. I was a BAPLA registered photo-library from 1990 - 2010.
 
Apart from my landscape interests for a few years I was the Deeside Piper photographer and covered many events for the NTS in Grampian for 10 years. I also did general commercial and Fine Art photography and contributed to many publications and books.
 
My accumulated Photography Collection of film stock, B&W negatives from 1985 and my digital archive from 2003 along with all my published work has been donated to the Aberdeenshire Museum's Service for their Archives as of August 2022.
 
I formally retired from a commercial photography career as of 30th September, 2022 after 36 years.

2024 AURORA. A huge display occurred on the 10th October and was seen widely and as far south as Jersey!!. Definitely time to watch AuroraWatch and Spaceweather-see the Aurora Photo Gallery.
 
More images of Auroras are on Crooktree.com and see the Links Aurora Photography article for useful information and links.
 
Aurora activity is currently increasing as the Solar Cycle climbing towards Maximum again and there were several good displays during 2024 although some were denied because of cloud
