While heading north on the A9 one morning north of Helmsdale I overtook a slow moving lorry with no markings with a van travelling close behind so I stopped a the Berridale Braes to take a photo. As it rounded the hairpin bend it had to stop for a car coming down the hill. When the car was clear driver started to move again and the lorry was loosing traction where the shellgrip was worn away on the road which seemed to cause a panic with the men in following van. The guys jumped out then running back for their yellow jackets, one rushed up the road to stop any more traffic coming down the hill while the driver got out of the lorry to check out the situation. After reversing back down the hill a few meters and three attempts the lorry got grip by going right over on the opposite side of the road and made it's way up the hill. I managed to get a photo of the detail on the back of the trailer which was going to a Colin Macdonald at UKAEA Dounreay and the weight 50 tones. With the lorry and trailer weight included would be near 80 tones I wonder what was in the trailer!

That would have made it easier but I didn't need it Who is this memorial for?

Pladda Lighthouse south of Arran.

I like the Rangers one

And before the Centenary Club there was the 200 club which was run by Reenie Urquhart which I had won a few prizes over the years so joined the Centenary Club from the start and also had a few prizes If your not a member it's worth joining.

A beach and island with lighthouse I will have to wait till I put the PC on tonight for a proper look

No

No not near Skye it's further south

At Bucht Park where they played at the time Mike didn't play but used to go and support the team.

Yes west coast and salt water I was standing on the bridge where the river runs into the sea.

Here is another one

Yes he turned out to be a good signing, playing a number of good games before the season ended suddenly.

Still brings a tear to the eye after 20 years. A lot of people thought we were mad going back down on a Tuesday night for the game but Bhoy it was worth it

Must be to hard The Corries sung about it.

Good post Kingsmills I fully agree with your sentiments but I fear that even after this things will not change as the wealthy only care about themselves and the amount of money the have and can make, it's just pure greed! I have just read an excellent book 'Insurrection' by James Hunter which is about the potato famine in Scotland during the winter of 1846-47 when many families starved at a time when Great Britain was a well of country. With the exception of a few rich land owners the vast majority did nothing to help those living on their land while wining and dining with their fellow Lords. Over 160 years later there is still a lot of poverty and there will be even more after this and it's not likely to change. A bit like our football the greedy big clubs don't want to share any more money with the smaller clubs!

As much as I dislike Partick and Ian Mccoll I agree with you.

I have worked up a few of the telephone poles you can see in the photo and there is a BT radio station further north towards the lighthouse that feeds the Western Isles. Here is another one where is this?

The last time there was a vote was it not Aberdeen and Ross County that voted against? Although Roy Macgregor is wanting everyone to work together I would not trust him!

Melvaig northwest of Gairloch, I have worked out there a few times over twenty years ago and we stayed in the Old Inn Gairloch at good rates when David and Ann Curruthers had it.

The whole thing stinks of corruption! The ones running Scottish football always have their own agenda and couldn't care less what the fans want. I just hope all the clubs survive through this to start again for the next season.

I will stick with CTO as I'm not on Facebook and no interest to join thanks

Once we get back to the football however long it takes any fan coming back or any new supporters will be warmly welcome.

I missed it this afternoon glad Mantis put the clip on for us to hear. I was impressed with Scott Gardiner being open and honest with what happened. What will be said next week I wonder!

The blue one is a Skoda Octavia if that's yours. You wouldn't have owned up to having a Skoda years ago
