  1. It is the ruin of St Drostans Chapel which is on the Old A9 1 mile south of Kincraig.
  2. Good photo and good timing IHE. That would be the early fifties some older than me might remember the parts & accessories building. The car emerging from School Lane is a 1952 registered Vauxhall Wyvren and the new building that is being built on that site just now is going to be called "Wyvren House" which will be retail units and flats. The flatbed lorry is a Bedford RL and the tanker is a Bedford O series.
  3. They must have been heading for the town that is Lower Kessock Street and junction of Grant Street & Lochalsh Road.
  4. I don't think he will be the answer to County's problems at the back but do I care
  5. I hope Uncle Roy paid a decent price for him ?
  6. It is on the old A9 south of Inverness, in the photo you can see the barrier beside the A9.
  7. I have it now it's the BMX track beside the crazy golf and skateboard park. The building is the east end of the Ice Rink.
  8. Is that the new Kings Golf Course as CaleyD would see it?
  9. It won't make much difference they have a big squad with plenty more players

    Ferries

    Here is the current ferry approaching Berneray 'Loch Portain'. When the tides were low you could hear the boat scraping on the sand which you were warned about before sailing and the times were altered for sailings. It is a good service without having to from Tarbert across to Uig and back across to Lochmaddy which was the only option! After the road equivalent tariff was introduced which reduced the price to and from the mainland it left this journey much more expensive as it does not work for island to island.
  11. You will have passed the ruin many times ?

    Here is an old photo of Loch Brhusda arriving at the old pier North Uist.
  13. You will not find this one on Google like the Monster Midge something to work on with no football on this weekend. Where is this?
  14. Also the P&J links Rooney with St Johnston
  15. That would be something else whatever happens we have to unite and get behind the team whoever leaves or stays
  16. It's been talked about for a long time now and that could be the reason for his erratic performance this season. If he is going it's better to get some money now than nothing in the summer.
  17. I will put this here although it might not be the right place. From today's P&J
  18. That's a good blog with some great photos, much better than watching the TV

    Ferries

    The smallest ferry I have been on. You collected the keys for the BT Lismore van from Appin Telephone Exchange on arrival on Lismore the van was an old Austin Maestro which did not require a road tax or MOT as it was always left on the island. The engineers that were doing bigger jobs took their own van from Oban on the larger ferry that sailed only once or twice a week.
  20. You must have been sleeping all day then. that's the sunset ?
  21. You have me on the pies. You are right it was from Torrington, I thought you might have climbed it!
