  1. Nor me, I presume the building must have been a weather station or research station, did not know there was ever a building up there although I knew there was a Model T Ford driven up!
  2. The good old Ferguson tractor which later became Massy Ferguson.
  3. Gee whiz Charles that's some answer I bet your pupils at school didn't ask a question at the end of the last period or they would have missed their dinner
  4. IBM

    THE DANCING

    A quiet Academy St in 1977 with the front of a Crysler Talbot.
  5. Just bet me to it Charles! That would be early 70's with the then new houses at Wyvis Place, Ord Terrace and Glendoe Terrace where you can see 3 of the 6 blocks of flats. I stayed in Benula Road which is just out of the picture. The large building on the left is on Carsegate Road South was Lawson and Turnbull which later became Parkinsons and the large one on Carsegate Road North was Robert Sinclair with the Alliance Cash & Carry across the road.
  6. The guy has a right Sneck coupon. A relation of IHE's?
  7. I think you were doubting me Charles, I was joking when I said I could see Midmills Road on the sign just have a good eye for buildings and places and a good memory for now! I would loved to have seen you outside Chris Crooks this morning checking the angles and bet that passers by were looking at you wondering what on earth you were doing
  8. Philip Black, Billy Sanderson & Alan Douglas all in the same year as me in the High School (I didn't play football so no chance of being in any pictures)
  9. Charles you were the only one not looking at the ladies
  10. From the same rally, who owned one of them?
  11. The Black Bridge and railway bridge Waterloo Place, Shore St and Innes St, part of the power station beside the bowling green. Not much on the north side of the railway line, looks like a row of huts on Longman Road. The large building top right is Highland House which is still there and the houses at the front of it were opposite the old PO/BT garage and demolished when the road was made dual carriageway.
  12. Cromarty, I think that building was an old mill.
  13. Penny chews and that was an old penny!
  14. Here is a better one from 2007 at Glenurquhart.
  15. The Crown School steeple behind what is now the site of the Crown Church.
  16. That is dangerous IHE, who is the guy with the bunnet?
  17. They don't need to all the other parties are doing it for them
  18. The Black Bridge and railway bridge Waterloo Place, Shore St and Innes St, part of the power station beside the bowling green.

  19. SMT showroom on Academy St, the store was at the right hand side with a moan of a storeman in the early 80's! 2 Victors and a Cresta in the front, how times have changed without dozens of cars out the front.
  20. About 5 miles west of North Kessock along the shore road.
  21. Millerton Filling Station with a Wolseley 18/85 on the left, in the middle with the twin rear windows I think is an Austin 12 and on the right is a Ford Popular.
  22. Or maybe that show that used to take place in the Bught round about the same era (forgotten the name)? Is the floral arrangement in the middle meant to represent a Roller for which I believe the IMC were the local agents? That would have been the Highland Show which used to be at the Bught, I think that car is meant to be a Jaguar. I am sure it was Macrae & Dick that were the Rolls Royce agents in Inverness.
