Artist Pool is a picturesque freshwater body located in Morayshire, Scotland. With its serene surroundings and natural beauty, this enchanting pool attracts artists and nature enthusiasts alike. Covering an area of approximately 2 acres, the pool is nestled amidst lush greenery, creating a tranquil and idyllic setting.

Surrounded by dense woodland and rolling hills, Artist Pool is a haven for various species of flora and fauna. The pool itself is a haven for a diverse range of aquatic plants, including lily pads, reeds, and water lilies, which add vibrancy and color to the landscape. These plants provide a habitat for many species of fish, amphibians, and invertebrates, making it a thriving ecosystem.

The pool's calm and clear waters are perfect for reflection and contemplation, which is why it has become a popular destination for artists seeking inspiration. The interplay of light and shadow on the water's surface and the reflections of overhanging trees make it a captivating subject for painters and photographers.

Adjacent to the pool, there is a small freshwater marsh, which further enhances the pool's ecological diversity. This marsh is home to a variety of marsh plants, such as sedges and rushes, which provide nesting sites for birds like reed warblers and moorhens. The marsh also acts as a natural filter, purifying the water flowing into the pool.

Visitors to Artist Pool can enjoy leisurely walks along its banks, immersing themselves in the peaceful ambiance and taking in the breathtaking views. It is a place where nature's beauty and artistic inspiration merge, offering a serene and captivating experience for all who visit.

No ordinary cow!! Every day is a learning day and you can never tell what is just around or just on the bend! Here we have a herd of Riggit  Galloways, a close relation of the Banded Galloway but with a different hair-do. As is typical of all the Galloway cattle with their thick, curly hair,  the Riggit can be out-wintered and can thrive on the poorest of land.
