  1. Ballifeary Road with the RNI at the top of the picture, 1 & 3 Springfield Gardens a visible, the old camp is on what is now Torvean Avenue. I have never herd of any camp being there will need to rely on the elder generation
  2. Lovely looking bit of grass soon to be where the new ring road is going to run! Speaking of the electric burn did I read somewhere recently that they were going to put in a mini hydro scheme in there or was it just a dream?
  3. Yes, it's amazing the difficulty some people have in making that out! On the other hand once they get it the first time it's usually less of a problem thereafter. The likeness to a German soldier of World War 1 is incredible, in particular the moustache which was popular at the time and the shape of the helmet which is subtly different from the WW2 design. Charles you are getting your helmets mixed up or your world wars, unless you are seeing a different German's head than me
  4. None of these fit so I must be perfect (not prefect)
  5. Very early motorbikes at Academy St at the lane going up to the back station, the garage R Macrae & Sons was that prior to Macrae & Dick?
  6. Easy for me the German's head at the Slocht, some people have never seen it even stopping on the old road!
  7. IBM

    THE DANCING

    That is old with only Duncan Fraser & Chisholm's still in business. The only other ones I remember are Gilbert Ross, Stratton & Dorando's.
  8. I had that a few times, most for spelling mistakes in Fort Augustus Primary, the teacher a Mrs Smith was a horrible woman and it didn't improve my spelling
  9. The thing I used to hate was the chewing gum stuck underneath the lids!
  10. I remember Roy Lobban when he used to drive for R & F Campbell and work part time in the Caley Club.
  11. I seem to remember one of these with numbers but may be wrong.
  12. Selling clothes pegs, like? No didn't do that but the water was so good that when drinking my morning tea I would make a wish that I would have time for tea in the afternoon and my wish was granted
  13. The Tarradale closed many years ago leaving only 1 pub in Muir of Ord (The Ord Arms) recently they were replacing the windows in it so there are renovations taking place but don't know what. From the left Austin 12, Ford Consul Mk1 & Mk2 and heading towards Tore a MG I think!
  14. Well done to weeman , I had a laugh to myself when he suggested that thinking there is not a river in Fortrose. I thought it was a bridge not a pier
  15. Hirdle Wood Munlochy, filled my kettle up a few times at that well when working over there.
  16. 9 Laurel Avenue near the top right of the dual carriageway.
  17. Thought I would struggle with that one but there is a VW Beetle heading away near the top of the picture! A rare thing in Bunchrew IHE
  18. I know you are almost always right on these things IBM, but is that not the Anderson Street side of Bon Accord with Jamaica Street round the corner to the left past the lorries? Is the end of the building, as viewed from Jamaica Street, not to the left? When I worked for Tommy Robb in my summer job in 1971 and 1972, I used to use both doors with my lorry and I think that one may be the one bedise the offices facing on to Anderson Street. Just testing you Charles was it the bottling plant that was on Jamaica St?
  19. Struggling with this one IHE, last guess the river Conon towards Maryburgh?
  20. The Zepher and Wolseley were from mid-late 50's
