Algy's Adventures on Tumblr
Algy's unique adventures on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands have been published regularly on Tumblr 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.
Algy has many thousands of followers on Tumblr, from countries all around the world. If you are over 13 (the minimum legal age for a Tumblr account), Algy invites you to join him on Tumblr.
Everything that Algy publishes is suitable for children of all ages, but young children are likely to find many of Algy's Tumblr adventures rather dull, as they are not designed for a young audience and include poetry quotations and so on.

Algy leaned back against the cold, hard bollard, and wondered what he ought to do next. It was almost Easter, and he could not decide whether to return home for Easter Day, or whether to stay in...
