Algy's Adventures
Algy's unique adventures on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands have been published regularly on The Adventures of Algy, Algy's original Tumblr blog, since March 2012, and include photos, GIFs, sound clips and original writing, sometimes with poetry quotations. You can see a small selection of his adventures here in Algy's Slideshows.
For anyone who does not use Tumblr, Algy's adventures are also published on Algy's independent blog which you can view as a web site, or choose to have each adventure delivered to you by email. Algy's adventures have many thousands of followers and fans, from countries all around the world.
Everything that Algy publishes is suitable for children of all ages, but young children are likely to find some of Algy's adventures rather dull, as they are not designed for a young audience and include poetry quotations and so on.
