IBM

Standing on the right is Willie Deans.

I think it was still used as classrooms when I was there 1969-72.

Easy one for me! Fort Augustus from the Battery Rock, the old junior secondary school on the right, The Riggs on the left where I stayed after moving in from Ardachy, Grants garage with the red roof and you can see the old railway pillars on the right in front of the canal.

Chick Young said that Willie Collum had a great game today but some may ask what does Chick Young know about football

The first half was the usual possession sideways back not achieving anything although a visitor from Canada sitting next to me at his first football game thought the passing was good. He said we would have luck tonight and he was right, the second half was pure football! We are at our best attacking and looked good going forward all the time 2 cracking goals and it could have been more. Jagster said before the game he thought we were on for a win tonight before the game and he was right. Looking forward to our next game now!

Might have been when Charlie was in the midfield

Yes the photo taken from Rattagan hill.

Well done to Ryan on getting the contract with Celtic, all the best for the future. So far the best young player to come through from the youth system lets hope there are more to come!

Another view. Another view. Ach no ..........that's the five sisters!

Yes that's it Scarlet on the way to Dores.

Thank **** I thought it might have been posting about Sir Danny

Well spotted you would not be able to use that description now

I know this is a traditional song, but who used to make it a trademark? Was it the Corries or Alastair MacDonald or the Singing Kettle or the Krankies? Not one the Corries sang, it was one the Singing Kettle sang I remember my daughter had the video's and now my granddaughter age 2 sings it!

The first chipper I went to after moving into Inverness in 1968 it was great ( no chipper in Fort Augustus) I used to get sent down for the family order 8 suppers in total we were not allowed chicken it was to dear then!

Aldourie Castle.

It is the channel marker for the entrance to the harbour I noticed it out in the firth to the east of the bridge on the way to the football on Saturday, they are red and green but not being a sea farer don't know the rules, I will stick with traffic lights.

Covering school book was one thing I was good at

A very bright and well polished Austin A35 and a smart Landrover! Great photo IHE, where is the location? West coast late 50's is as close as I could guess, note the small stripe on the AA patrol man's left arm was that for good conduct or long service?

Easy one tonight must be SMT showroom my Street, all Vauxhalls and a Bedford Dormobile Camper, 3 Victors on the right and 1 front left 3 Crestas 2 on left and in middle and the black on on the left is a Wyvern.

I had many a haircut at Wilson's and Anoraks from Nicols.

Great for a ceilidh in the 70's, the down side for me was that most spoke in gaelic and I didn't have a clue what they were saying but the music was good.

Riggs had a few shops one in Grant Street across from Mackay's Butchers. I think they also had a shop in Kenneth Street & Eastgate. Great stuff! And Inverness has solicitors by the name of Cheetham and Robb, albeit not working for the same firm. In Dalneigh in the 50s/60s, long before the era of Munro and Coffey, Bobby MacKay used to come round with his butcher's van and that was very popular. They did wonderful spicy, family sized steak pies. I think Bobby used to live in the house right beside the Tomnahurich canal bridge and kept the van there. The one in the OP is Flockharts which was at the "backawoolies". The shop closed long ago but the family are still active in the food industry. Duncan farms at near Croy and supplies my turkey every year. After Flockharts closed, my mum shifted to MacLennan's. Margaret MacLennan was a local councillor for some years, and I THINK may have deposed her commercial rival ex-Provost "Billy Butcher" Fraser to win her seat. When Munro & Coffey closed Mike Coffey took over the butchers in Tomatin Road and is now still working at Munro's in Dingwall.

That's some list Laurence! But all 'This nation' needs is a further swing to the SNP and we have cracked it
