Tim Peake in Scotland as astronaut shares smiling snap at ferry port after hiking on Isle of Mull

British Astronaut Tim Peake has shared a selfie in Oban as he arrives in Scotland for a Munro-bagging trip with his father-in-law. The former International Space Station (ISS) crew member posted the smiling photo of himself heading for the ferry en route to the Isle of Mull on social media.

Tim is a European Space Agency Astronaut and is famous for having become the first Briton to visit the ISS in 2015, even managing to complete a spacewalk during his six-month stay on the station.

Posting the image of himself alongside one of Scotland from space, Tim wrote: "Great to spend the day in the Scottish Islands hiking with my father-in-law. He’s climbed all 282 Munros (many several times) and now has only 29 Corbetts to go - a huge accomplishment."
