Duntrune Castle

Just a wee view from our recent holiday....click on the picture to see it in more detail.

Lock 15....

Our 2007 Christmas adventure took us to the village of Crinan. When we were not drinking we went for walks along the Crinan Canal. I'm told the canal was originally built for commercial Clyde puffers to travel between the industrialised region around Glasgow to the West Highland villages and islands and was designed in 1794 and completed in 1801.
It has 9 Locks...this is Lock 15....Gillian and I had 15 drinks to celebrate....

Scotland The Brave...

The 'Saltire'...also known as St Andrew's Cross.....or the Flag of Scotland...which, if you didn't know is the oldest continuously used sovereign flag in the world, having been in use since 732 AD!!!

I really liked the colour contrast in this picture....

A Wee Green Hut.....

Gillian and I went for a walk along the Crinan Canal today and I spotted this strange little thing on the banks of the canal. Don't know who owns it but I loved the colours on the drab day we have had today.
Who lives in a house like this?

Christmas Morning Wake Up Call.....

Gillian and I are spending Christmas alone this year in a wee cottage in Crinan. While we are missing all our friends and family it's great to have time to relax after what has been a very busy year for both of us.
This was our early morning alarm call today......don't think I need to say any more do I?
Merry Christmas.

Edinburgh Castle by Night....amazing

Don't think I need to say much about this one.....I love having this in my home city! :-)

Sunset over North Berwick Beach...

So, Gillian and I went for a walk on Sunday to a lovely little town on the East Coast of Scotland called North Berwick........lots of fresh air, great views, lovely sunset.....oh yes, and not forgetting a few pints :-)

I particularly love the colour of the sky and the cloud formation in it...plus I love the fact that it made Gillian so happy being there for the day.
