Well, today was my last day at GGFR.
Thanks to all who’ve interacted with or supported us as we’ve taken our first baby steps in the world.
Have a great Christmas and hopefully a better and brighter year in 2022.
Ciao for now 👋

#SiteOfTheWeek
The inn at #Polmaddy was the last building to be abandoned over 150 years ago.
You can still wander across the sites of 23 buildings at this protected fermtoun, with origins dating back to the 1500s & links to Robert the Bruce.
Thanks to @liammck for the footage!

The Black Water of Dee Project is really pulling together, back to the remote steering groups for the time being but super impressive what has been going on this year and exciting plans for this year. Well done @Galloway_FT
We’re having some work done on the roof at home and an owl has seemingly taken to hanging out of our scaffolding!
Time to see what’s on the menu, like some kind of Avian Gillian McKeith 🔎
