Many years ago I bought a small unsigned oil painting of storm-driven waves crashing onto rocks at the foot of high cliffs.
The cliffs were the Bullers of Buchan, a spectacular natural arch projecting out into the sea, and what is known locally as the Cauldron or The Pot into which the sea churns and boils in wild weather.
Ever since I bought that wee painting I’d promised myself I’d take a trip up there and walk to the Bullers to see just how impressive they are.
It wasn’t on my bucket list, you understand – I’m too young for one of those – but it was something that always got put off in favour of some other ploy.

Reliance on petroleum fuels and raging wildfires: Two separate, large-scale challenges that could be addressed by one scientific breakthrough.
Teams from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Sandia National Laboratories have collaborated to develop a streamlined and efficient process for converting woody plant matter like forest overgrowth and agricultural waste – material that is currently burned either intentionally or unintentionally – into liquid biofuel. Their research was published recently in the journal ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering.
“According to a recent report, by 2050 there will be 38 million metric tons of dry woody biomass available each year, making it an exceptionally abundant carbon source for biofuel production,” said Carolina Barcelos, a senior process engineer at Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts Process Development Unit (ABPDU).
