It gets harder and harder each time. Hopefully next time I go up will be for good.

One last shot in Leith before leaving :



(will probably squish so link : www.flickr.com/photos/flyingbadger/221263183/ )

Then stopped off in the Lake District somewhere for these two





Finally...I felt like I was being watched so turned around and just heard a vague "Moo?"

Cracking pictures. Has to be said, Scotland has some of THE most dramatic landscapes. Can't wait til we go to Mull again in October !

Just out of shot to the right is Brittania and Ocean Terminal.

Out of shot to the left is RFA Wave Knight (currently moored there this week) and then the grain silo in the middle of the redeveloped area that's been bulldozed but not redeveloped

I don't venture any further than the Shore if I'm not going into town so don't really see any problems to be honest. But then I'm only there 4 or 5 times a year, I don't live there.

I love Scotland. Here's a few more. Not in the same league as the first ones by Graham. Little village named Dunure by Ayr where the McRelatives live.

Quite a few scots frequent the photo pages.

LA I am surprised at what you saw in Leith, I spend a fair bit of time there visiting freinds and it has always been great.

Here are a few of my favourite scotland pics.


Oban Esplanade with optional extra rainbow.

shot The Proclaimers first music video there, Letter From America;


Their greatest hits were the soundtrack of my latest TVR trip to the northwest of Scotland. A rousing combination.
