    Yes, Oban on the way to Barra. Just discovered this thread, got hundreds of pics, just need to find an area you haven’t been ?
  3. The Mantis
    Guess the town:

    Ah yes, I see it now, I have the 1:50000 maps on the iPad. I went round the whole of Mull and Skye but I missed it. Here's a pano of Staffin I stitched a few years ago.

    Yes it was a trifle rusty at the wings and sills. I think I got it through one MOT but the next time it went to the scrappy and I got a fiver for it ? A kind of strange thing that happened in the 90s... I got a Citroen BX diesel at the auctions at Ingliston. C782 YST which had been bought new at Pedigreed Cars in Forres. On one of my trips to Lewis I drew up at the Uig Community Shop which is in the middle of nowhere. The car I parked next to was C783 YST, same model, same dealer.

    Never seen a DKW but I remember it was in my I-SPY book of cars when I was at school ? Here's my first car. CFS 816B, bought for £85 in 1975. And IBM can say what the other one is.
  7. The Mantis
    I hope IBM is as good at this as he is with cars. I'm stumped.

    Struggling with this one. West coast, topography and settlements suggests Mull or Skye. Hoor of a load of motor homes. The traffic seems to be blocking the road too.

    Usually an evening kickoff but I’ve seen Hibs and Hearts using the Oriam during the day for this cup. I’ll let you know ?

    I’ve got a Kodachrome slide like that from about 1980. I tried to get the same shot with digital about a year ago but the trees are right up to the road.

    Aye the bealach is on the road. The Loch Garry viewpoint is hopeless now too, it’s signposted for the tourists to pull in but they need to fell a few trees so they can all get a photo like before.
  12. The Mantis
    Round about the Bealach Ratagain. Used to be a fine viewpoint but there’s been a lot of changes in the forestry over the years.

    Beat me to it...

    Alan, I think Storey dropped his magic hat somewhere along the A96 ? He’s about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike.

    Having entered at Round 2 and beaten Alloa 4-0, ICT have been drawn AWAY to Bonnyrigg Rose in the last 16, to be played on December 6. AFAIK, Youth Cup matches are played at the club's main stadium so this should be at New Dundas Park (where the televised match v Buckie was played recently). I should certainly manage along to this as it is just a mile down the road. The Edinburgh ICT hordes should get themselves on a 31 bus which will take them right to the ground. Obviously Bonnyrigg has nightlife to rival Edinburgh on a Friday.

    The mannie is on the Five Sisters ridge looking down into Glen Shiel. The Saddle is the Munro left of centre and the jaggy bits on the left skyline are Sgurr na Forcan and the Forcan Ridge. I'll mention Forcan Jaggies before IHE does...

    It was Carn Dearg back in the days when the SYHA had no competition, but they're marketing it as Gairloch Sands nowadays.

    Applecross peninsula. Has to be away north of the village as Dun Caan on Raasay is lined up with the Cuillins. Near Lonbain.

    @RiG leaving early was more of a talking point on the way home than the actual game. Yngwie was restrained in not putting his hands together at the end. I must confess I was shouting abuse at them, for probably the second time in my life. I hope the virus was a big factor as it would explain the second half collapse, but to be honest we were second best in the first half too. The steak and block puddeen pies were good mind.

    I see Gorgeous George and B***y M***y both netted in the Hamilton game while Fon Williams and Draper also featured. Oakley's was a decent strike.

    Do they provide baby chairs as bar stools?

    Other people's words bud, not mine. "Legend" will do for me. Some people say " Russeldinho" was invented by me ?

    Can't seem to link to the actual tweet but it comes after this one.

    If I've got this right, it's our first visit on league business since March 2003 and we were to go up as champions the following year after losing out to Falkirk. We came from behind to win 3-1. Hislop and 2 from Wyness. If I remember correctly, Arbroath scored right on the half time whistle. The team makes interesting and nostalgic reading: Brown, Tokely, Munro, Mann, Golabek, McCaffrey, Robson, McBain, Hart, Wyness, Hislop. Subs: Fraser, Stewart, Bagan, Keogh, Ritchie.
