Nice one. Port Askaig. Hoping to be there in September, fingers crossed.

Aye, Culduthel. Just opposite Southside Rd you’ll see the gate. Sandy Macdonald from Lewis and his wife Laurna from Shetland. Had Shetland Originals shop where Shapla is now. Uncle and Auntie of Mrs Mantis but both long gone. I take it the cars are a bit dark for you

No it doesn't have a name just a number
-
Yip Yip !

Posh hoose in the Sneck

Oh well that didn’t last long, knew I should have picked somewhere further south

Beaufort Castle I think.

Hard to believe I took this 20 years ago.

At last the great man's run is at an end Have you got one @dumpmaster ?

Been aboard that one a few times as it started in 1983 from Ardrossan to Brodick. After 10 years she moved to Kennacraig for Islay. First photo is Port Askaig in 94, the other one is Oban in January this year.

Think this might be Rosehaugh near Avoch if it's connected with Coinneach Odhar. He was supposed to be from Uig in Lewis so I've heard all about him. I think he lives on in Johndo.

Haha, I was coming back from a game last year and I got an earlier train than it had on the ticket, so they flung me off at Kingussie and I had to kill an hour there. Should have taken my fish supper up the hill for a walk. Due diligence.

Spent a while hunting around last night as I thought it might be Fortrose. Still can't place the building though?
-
Oh I was slow there Give the man a coconut.

Not getting anywhere with this. I'm assuming you mean the road to Ullapool. Is the shop still there?
-
That’s an early Sierra isn’t it? Never owned a Ford but I had an Escort company car for about 6 months.
-
An epic. Devoured it at a sitting though. Yip yip.

Alba Cup final 2009
-
I think you've got us beat this time. I'm assuming it's a war memorial and it's still there...
-
Shoes off day!

Watched it on teletext Wouldn’t have travelled up for a midweek game on a school night at that time. Probably started with the United replay in 98.

Where did you get your hands on that footage? Never seen it before. A great performance against a decent Dees side with Jim Duffy, Morton Weighorst, Gerry Britton, Neil Duffy and George Shaw. They had beaten us comfortably in the League Cup 3-0 at Dens.

The one blootered over was Davie Brennan. Caley got him from Shotts Bon Accord. The other one looked like Paul McKenzie and so did the one in normal time. Either him or John Scott. That earlier one looked tailor made for 10cc to take mind you, as he won it. The goal we did get is a reminder of what a classy player Danny MacDonald was. His career was tragically ruined by injuries.
