When I was in Scotland in May, I went to see Castle Leod (Leoch) and met a father & son with their two Scottish stag hounds, Islay & Ronay. Such sweet and gentle giants. Very friendly too.
I love this photo and the pup! I wonder if this is Tink? The owners brought Tink to to one of the UK Outlander events. The photos were posted in some of the groups. Gentle giants!
I have a thing for Deerhounds. Met a gentle giant when one of my Labs was a pupster. My guy was seriously intrigued by the Deerhound & I was astonished to see how gently the giant breed treated my l’il guy. How can you look at their scruffy faces and not fall in love?
This entire picture is so spot on! Love all the details in costume and set dec (I learned that from the podcasts!) It makes sense that you and Gary are great friends.
I honestly have trouble believing that’s a photo and not a painting. There’s something about the lighting and textures that make it look painted. It’s exquisite.
This whole show is just gorgeous. Costumes, sets, lighting, the beauty of Scotland . . . I think there could be a successful book (or books) of photos and descriptions from the show. Thank you for sharing these with us!
What an amazing picture! I thought my dog was big at 110 lbs. But this dog is huge!!! I can see why they are called Deerhounds-this dog could easily bring down a stag!
Jim & I visited Balgonie Castle last summer. The laird was quite a character; gave us lots of bits of history about my husband’s Leslie ancestors there. He also had a couple of Scottish deerhounds. Turns out he’s been rescuing that breed for 40 years! He taught us quite a bit about them.
Wolfhounds are generally sweet dogs, so I don’t think anyone was in real danger. 🙂
Excepting Caucasian Mountain dogs, the bigger the dog, the gentler.
I.LOVE. this. show. and the costumes. There may be some who squint at things that are off by a couple of decades, but the whole feel of the show transports a person to Scotland in the 1740s. AND, seeing as how time travel is possible in this world, who’s to say that your liberties with costumes aren’t correct for their world?
I have gone to Irish Fest in Milwaukee Wisconsin for probably the last 10 years or so. They have a lovely shady area by the lake where they have the Irish dog breeds for people to see and pet. The Irish Wolfhounds are gentle giants. They had an 11 month old baby there this year 🙂 He was up to my chest! I fell in love with the Kerry Blue Terrier, but of course you have the terrier temperament to adjust to. The elkhounds, deerhounds and wolfhounds are all huge dogs with sadly shorter than most lifespans because of their size. They are adorable though 🙂

I know, right? I thought it looked like a very detailed painting too. Maybe it’s some kind of a filter. Whatever it is, it’s lovely.
EXQUISITE is the perfect word to apply here! I’ve been drawn in & have been studying that photo like it was a fine painting in a museum!
Which photo? Something actually on the show? LOL
Dogs, nicer than people.

The lady on the far left looks terrified. I love dogs, but I might be a little scared too 🙂
