The Island of Inchmahome, Lake of Menteith, nr. Stirling, Scotland. Through the ancient woodland on the island lies four Iron Age Crannog sites; East Crannog, Dog Isle Crannog, Port of Menteith Crannog and Lochend Crannog. All are now submerged. Walking on Inchmaholme gives you a feeling of being thrown into the distant past... #crannog #ironage #ironageliving #lakeofmenteith #dwelling #inchmahomepriory #inchmahome #inchmahomeisland #woodlands #ancientliving #ancientwoodland #treesandforest #trees #landscape #lake #wild #nature #downpour #rain #boatjourney #naturalbeauty #ancientscotland #scotland

Evening everyone. Did you know that Scotland only has one lake ? Well, it does and it’s called the Lake of Menteith. Technically it’s actually a loch too, but we won’t split hairs. It’s a lovely place and has a series of islands. I’ve always felt the romance of the place but have never painted it before. But it seems this week is the week for it. ‘Sunset on the lake of Menteith’. #trossachs #lakeofmenteith #portofmenteith #inchmahomepriory #inchmahome #scotland #bonniescotland #scottishart #visitscotland #artfromartist #buyartfromartists #sunset #sunsetpainting #scottishcontemporaryart #scottishart #seascape #waterart #lindsaydudleyart #ldmcdart #contemporarylandscapepainting

Hoje foi a prova de que devemos estar atentos aos sinais. Podemos ter tudo planeado mas se não formos flexíveis e se ignorarmos as mensagens que nos surgem, podemos passar ao lado daquilo que seria a nossa missão ou pelo menos a nossa tarefa para aquele dia. E foi mesmo isso que aconteceu. Não estava previsto irmos aqui. O Caminho planeado era por outro sítio. Mas eis que de repente tudo parece apontar para um local que nem sabíamos que existia. Largamos o controlo e abraçamos o desconhecido. E mergulhamos no tempo e na alma, resgatando corações cheios de amor. E neste propósito a magia acontece. #anjos #mensagemdosanjos #destino #resgatedaalma #coração #magia #escócia #inchmahomepriory #maryqueenofscots

Prosten Nils är inte nöjd, inte nöjd alls. Fastän våren kommit långt i dessa subtropiska nejder är det ingen som plöjer jorden på den lokala kyrkans marker, även om blomsterprakt åtminstone luktar bättre än eget skryt. Fogdens borg luktar av fläder och hamster och man var tvungen att navigera runt en trasig jätteträkanin för att komma in. Den lokala kyrkan var klädsamt grå men mindre än till och med bönhuset i Lubboträsk. Nej, denna resa börjar lika illa som de andra till missionsfälten, fastän vi är på protestantisk mark kan man känna lukten av svängande rökelsekar ända hit. #prostennils #missionsfälten #largewoodenrabbit #inchmahomepriory

Inchmahome Priory 🕍🌳🛶 - Hier ist schon die Anreise ein wahres Erlebnis. Auf einer winzigen Insel mitten auf einem winzigen See in der Nähe von Stirling befinden sich die Ruinen eines alten Augustinerklosters aus dem 13. Jahrhundert. Die Überfahrt findet in einem kleinen Bötchen statt, das Besucher am Pier abholt, sobald ein Holzschild umgedreht wird. Das fühlt sich bereits nach Abenteuer an. Wer auf der Insel Inchmahome ankommt, fühlt sich, wie straight in ein Märchenbuch geplumpst. Das Wäldchen, das die Klosterruinen umgibt, lädt zu einem Spaziergang ein und die Ruinen selbst geben einem das Gefühl auch Teil schottischer Geschichte zu sein. ⏳📖 #scotlandexplore #schottland #scotlandtravel #scotland #scotlandshots #scotland_lover #scotland_insta #schottlandliebe #scotland_greatshots #bucketlisttravel #highlandsofscotland #scotlandlover #scotland #scotlandroadtrip #scotlandhighlands #scotland_greatshots #inchmahomepriory #inchmahomeisland #stirlingshire

Inchmahome Priory has reopened at last! Priory staff Simon and Liz are joined this year by Chris, Beverley, and Lesley, who are all looking forward to welcoming you back to enjoy a relaxing trip to the wonderful Inchmahome! We're thrilled that this attraction has finally returned to the Lake of Menteith. A little history for you all... ⛪️ The Priory was founded around 1238 by Walter Comyn for Augustinian Canons. ⛪️ It was a sanctuary for a young Mary, Queen of Scots in 1546. ⛪️ It was made a popular tourist attraction by Sir Walter Scott in the 1800s. Tickets are now available through @HistoricEnvScotland website. Scottish weather tends to be very Scottish, so keep an eye on their website for any unexpected closure notices. Seats on the passenger boat are limited, so booking in advance is strongly recommended! While you are there keep an eye out for the ospreys who are often seen circling and fishing on the lake and later on in the year teaching their young to do the same!

New post on the blog. I found this Dyer's mazegill, Phaeolus schweinitzii, on the beautiful Inchmahome island, on the Lake of Menteith, in Scotland, one of my favourite places in the whole world, back in 2017. Described as fanned and cushioned, these big specimens fit the description perfectly and were so chunky and textured. #dyersmazegill #fungus #mycology #scotland #fungiscotland #nature #mushrooms #lakeofmenteith #phaelousschweinitzii #inchmahome #inchmahomepriory

SUP and swim in Scotland's only lake today, the Lake of Menteith. A paddle over to the island to visit Inchmahome Priory and have some lunch before just about surfing back. And if that wasn't nauseous enough, we had a swim in there with the big boggin pike and lived to tell the tale. So glad we went here today, I'd never even thought of it before. #lakeofmenteith #inchmahomepriory #fatsticksup #sup #paddleboarding #wildswimming #adventure #scotland #visitscotland

La intenció del dia d’avui és entrar de ple en el Parc Natural del Loch Lomond i els Trossachs. La nostra intenció és anar a prop d’Aberfoyle, a les ribes del llac Menteith, a 4,6 milles d’Aberfoyle (uns 9 minuts amb cotxe), i anar a visitar la Inchmahome Priory, runes d’una abadia en una illa al mig del llac Menteith. L’aparcament pel cotxe i el ferry es troben a la riba est del llac, amb les corresponents indicacions ho trobarem fàcilment. Els horaris d’obertura de l’abadia i del funcionament del ferry son a partir de les 10h fins les 14:45h, i els preus son de £28,80 per tots quatre (amb la E.P. surt gratuït). Per nosaltres és una visita imprescindible i molt mística, com demostren les diferents fotografies.

Located on an island in the Lake of Menteith, Inchmahome Priory was founded in 1238 and much of the 13th century building remains. Inchmahome Priory is a beautifully situated monastery, founded by a small community of Augustinian canons led by Walter Comyn, the Earl of Menteith. The isolated island location gave the perfect tranquility for worship, and the priory has links with many famous historical names including Robert the Bruce, Mary Queen of Scots and Sir Walter Scott. The name "Inchmahome" comes from the Gaelic Innis MoCholmaig, meaning island of St Colmaig.

‘Hurble purple hath a red girdle A stone in his belly A stake through his arse And yet hurble purple is never the worse.’ (The Game of Kings) Inchmahome Priory on its island on the Lake of Menteith is where the young Mary Queen of Scots has been sent for safety. This is the time of the ’Rough Wooing’, which provides the often violent background to much of The Game of Kings as the Scots and English battle over the choice of a future husband for Mary. It’s also where Mary has met a ‘monk’ with an insufficiency of tonsure, and he’s taught her a riddle that Mary can’t solve. Frustrated, she demands to know what it is, and only Sybilla knows the answer because it’s a rhyme she invented for her own children! It’s the red hawthorn berry which has a stone in its middle, and a stalk that looks very much like a ‘stake through his arse.’ The rhyme tells Sybilla two things, though. Firstly, that her outlawed son, Lymond, has been nearby, and secondly he’s warning her that the young Queen Mary, at this dangerous time in her life, has been left unguarded. Lymond was able to spend enough time alone with Mary to teach her the rhyme. The priory of Inchmahome was founded in 1238 by a small community of Augustinian friars, with Walter Comyn, Earl of Menteith, as their patron. Monastic life at Inchmahome finally came to an end not long after Mary was sent there for safety, a result of the Reformation in 1560. The chapter house eventually became a mausoleum for the earls of Menteith, and stones from the other buildings were taken away to be reused. (Or recycled, as we might term it today!). All that’s left is a peaceful and romantic ruin where you can perhaps hear the faint echo of a small child’s voice chanting a rude rhyme! #dorothydunnett #lymondchronicles #thegameofkings #maryqueenofscots #inchmahomepriory #lakeofmenteith

A collage of my Spring paintings which are currently in the @smithygalleryscotland's Affordable Art Show, on until 2nd April. 'Ben Lomond from Braeval' is of a snow capped Ben, typical after late April snow. It is hard to believe bluebells bloom only a couple of weeks later in May! Another is of the blue haze carpet of bluebells at Killearn Glen, and the other 2 are on the island of Inchmahome in the Lake of Menteith. Shame I can't capture the delicate fragrance of a bluebell wood on a sunny day as well! https://smithygallery.co.uk/exhibitions/current #benlomond #benlomondview #benlomondpeak #benlomondsnow #benlomondsummit #benlomondnationalpark #trossachscountrypark #lakeofmenteithscotland #inchmahomeisland #inchmahome #inchmahomepriory #visitstirlingshire #visittrossachs #killearn #killearnglen #bluebellwood #bluebellwalk #bluebellcarpet #bluebells #bluebellglen #woodlandtrust #woodlandwalks #artexhibition #bluebellpainting #contemporarylandscapeart #scottishbluebells #benlomondpainting

It may be wintery & dreary outside, but Spring is on it's way! Although there are bluebell woods on my doorstep, let's hope we will be allowed to travel further than 5 miles when this Spring comes. These paintings are both from the island of Inchmahome in the Lake of Menteith - the same path, but one a bit further along. Within 100 yards the character of the path can completely change. These are the last two from a long series I made.They are both in the current exhibition at the @smithygalleryscotland until the end of January.

#tbt to Inchmahome Priory, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We visited the priory ruins on our last trip to the UK. The priory is located on an island in the middle of Lake Menteith (the only body of water in Scotland to be given the name “lake”), so part of the adventure in visiting is getting to take a boat to and from the island. Inchmahome, where the priory is located, is the largest of three islands in the lake. It was a place of refuge for the famous Robert the Bruce and, in her childhood, Mary Queen of Scots also found safety here. . . #throwbackthursday #scotland #lakementeith #historicscotland #ruins #priory #churchruins #inchmahomepriory #scotlandtravel #scotlandisbeautiful #takemeback #tbt❤️ #tbthursday #writerslife

With the chances of getting away this Summer becoming ever more elusive ....it was a joy to discover the incredible decadence and appeal of wild water swimming in my homeland ! first time in many years .....At this stunning lake in Scotland. #lakeofmenteith although mostly known for her Lochs - Scotland does in fact have several lakes This magical place even has its own priory and island #inchmahomepriory that can be reached by boat. Where Mary queen of Scots took refuge as a child There’s something beyond therapeutic about being amongst the stillness of such a clear freshwater expanse - I cannot recommend enough a dip in these lovely waters. And it was very refreshing also to have a wet swimsuit that was not drenched in smell of chlorine ! The lake is beautiful and as it’s relatively small expanse often freezes in winter. In fact I learnt to ice skate here in the big freeze of the 1970s! Holding onto the back of a chair ...whilst gliding along the frozen lake ! It’s one of my favourite places an elixir for the soul ! Happy memories too 💙 #travelthursday #lakes #visitscotland #lakeofmenteith #water #waterperfume #lakeside #scotlandtravel #traveltheworld #travelinsider #tessawilliams #wildwater #openairswimming #scotlandswild #blueskies #summer2021 #summerholidays #watertherapy #scotlandexplore

In 1560, the Protestant Reformation effectively brought monastic life at Inchmahome to an end. #inchmahomepriory #lakeofmenteith #historicscotland #monumental_world #scottishhighlands #Scotland #scotland_insta #scotlandlover #scotland_greatshots #lovescotland #loves_scotland #igscotland #ig_scotland #instascotland #insta_scotland #explorescotland #visitscotland #fiftyshades_of_history #thisisscotland #traveling_uk #traveling_scotland #wonderlustscotland #photosofbritain #kings_gothic #vd_gothika #unlimitedscotland #hiddenscotland #earthpix #tlpicks #scotlandisnow

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Surreal morning on the Lake of Menteith (Loch Inchmahome), Scotland. The previous day there was a big storm; we had a message pop up on our interactive tv to say stay in the log cabin due to extreme winds. The winds were ferocious, knocking and creaking in our cabin, making it sound like it was going to implode 😄 The morning after, the weather was all calm. But plenty of debris and branches strewn all over the place, and our mountain bikes had come loose and toppled over. We got in the car and drove to the Lake of Menteith to see Inchmahome Priory- an ancient monastery, which is situated in the middle of the lake, accessible only by boat. No one was there when we arrived at the lakeside pier. After a few minutes, we could see a boat emerging from the mist. It docked, and Martin (pictured) told us to hop on. We were the only ones there; we hadn't seen a single other soul! Martin guided the boat over the very calm waters of the Lake of Menteith- the mist meant we couldn't even see the Priory in the middle of the lake, it was surreal. Eventually, the island was visible. We docked and hopped off the boat. And then we explored the ruins of Inchmahome Priory- dating back to 1238. Amongst notable visitors to the Priory include; Mary Queen of Scots, Robert the Bruce...and us ;) • • • • #lakeofmenteith #inchmahomepriory #visitscotland #bnwphotography #bnwmood #ig_bnw #atmosphere #ig_captures #scotlandphotography #landscapephotography #lakeside #historicarchitecture #ig_history #robertthebruce #maryqueenofscots #scotlandgreatshots #ukgreatshots #instascotland #beautifulbritain #moodygrams #ig_mood #bnwmood #exquisitepics20_bnw #moody_tones #1bnwshot
