  1. From the same rally, who owned one of them?
  2. 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.
  3. Cromarty, I think that building was an old mill.
  4. Penny chews and that was an old penny!
  5. Here is a better one from 2007 at Glenurquhart.
  6. The Crown School steeple behind what is now the site of the Crown Church.
  7. That is dangerous IHE, who is the guy with the bunnet?
  8. They don't need to all the other parties are doing it for them

  10. 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.
  11. About 5 miles west of North Kessock along the shore road.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Back in the Clearance era, did everyone actually wear sporrans in front of kilts of that style? And is the large figure a man or a woman? It sends out mixed messages. (PS - I'm perpetually on Over Romanticised Pishwatch!) I can't remember that far back if they wore sporrans, the large figure is a man with a chest like that! Charles you have too much time on your hands now you are retired Yes, i did spot that but with hair like that it also looks like a girl! There were no barbers around in them days!
  15. IBM

    THE DANCING

    First introduced in the London area on 30 June 1937, the UK's 999 number is the world's oldest emergency call telephone service. The system was introduced following a fire on 10 November 1935 in a house on Wimpole Street in which five women were killed.
  16. It's not just the football stats you are good at Sneckboy

  18. A guess that would have been the Black Isle Show early 60's
  19. Yup, Culbokie Inn looking towards Ben Wyvis & Cromarty Firth
  20. I did hear that Volvo Truck were moving into one part of it, might be a rumor though.
  21. The memorial to the people of the Highland Clearances in Helmsdale.
  22. Must be a gadgie trike, never seen one of these!
  23. Not only does he get his information from the Daily Express but he believes it as well
  24. From todays P & J Brora Rangers sponsor Ben Mackay will continue to support the his club if it earns promotion into senior football.
