A digital reconstruction of Baldow (Easter Raitts), a post-medieval township near Kingussie, Badenoch, Scotland, as it may have looked in the mid-1700s. The positions of a range of simple structures, which are presumed to be mixed dwellings, byres, and enclosure walls (turf dykes), are matched to topographical survey drawings carried out by AOC (Scotland) Ltd in 1995 (HER Monument MHG4411). The data from this survey was used to reconstruct the township at the nearby Highland Folk Park in Newtonmore, which in turn has inspired this visual interpretation.

About the images in my portfolio
You may notice subtle shapes and patterns in some of the images in my online portfolio, affecting their visual quality. I am experimenting with free tools developed by researchers at the University of Chicago to help artists protect their work from unauthorised AI training. It subtly alters images in ways that are almost invisible to people but can confuse AI models, making it much harder for them to learn and reproduce an artist's distinctive style.
