Another walk another piece of Scotland history seen. Crawford priory built in the 18th hundreds. Upsetting to see such a beautiful castle been left to rot but amazing to see the structure is still standing.

Hiking day! Long and at times very difficult but this beautiful view was worth every drop of sweat, ache and stitch.

Scottish domestic abuse law comes into force

Last year the Scottish parliament voted through a law that would criminalise the psychological and controlling aspects of domestic abuse.

Originally the law would only cover physical abuse which often left people suffering from the psychological aspects of domestic abuse with no reason to go to the police.

However this law changes that. From April 1st 2019, the law will be extended to cover psychological and controlling behaviour. Controlling behaviour is defined as behaviour that reduces a person’s autonomy. An example would be controlling finances which is often cited as one of the main obstacles to escaping abusive relationships.

In order for someone to be convicted, the court must be satisfied the accused intended or was reckless about causing harm, and that any reasonable person would consider the accused’s behaviour as likely to cause to complainer physical or psychological harm.

Psychological harm here is defined as ‘fear, alarm, or distress’

Worth adding the domestic abuse helpline which is available 24/7.

Did You Know?

I've decided the year 2019 is going to be a year of doing instead of dreaming. Photography has been a hobby of mine for a long time now and I've applied for a photography course. I'm no expert or even experienced beyond personal enjoyment. They want me to bring a portfolio of 6 to 12 photos. I don't know how to do a portfolio, how to lay them out or anything. I have decided on a theme, nature as I go on hikes a lot and always snap photos. But if there is anyone out there that can help me I would appreciate it so much! I really want to prove myself obviously I know they are not expecting professional results but I want them to look at my work and see how serious I am about this. So again any type of help would be great and I would be so thankful.
