  1. Earlier version from the late 40's bughtmaster.
  2. Yes he did well at the weekend and keeping Inverness in the news.
  3. The next one for leader of the Lib Dems will surely be 'Danny Boy' if he keeps his seat! That surely, and in my view deservedly, has to be a very big IF.... Just to clarify I hope he will lose his seat!
  4. You must have been thinking of the Marzine when you wrote that
  5. It's a school that's the best I can do with that one
  6. Carrbridge Hotel with Humber Hawk at front door.
  7. That stop is outside Gilbert Ross and I notice Macrae & Dick across the road don't know what they had there, I remember Burnetts shop in that one or next door. The front tyres on the bus look pretty slick! The cars opposite Austin A55, Hilman Minx & Ford Pop.
  8. I think that one went down to Balmoral, that was one good thing that General Wade did built roads all over Scotland!
  9. Wouldn't know how to I'm afraid - especially since my carrier pigeon has just died. It's easy Charles, click the red More Reply Options on the right, click Brouse, select your photo from your files (double click) click Attach This File and click the blue Add Reply.
  10. Queensgate, on the right outside the hotel entrance a Sabb, Ford Zepher or Zodiac, Triumph Herald estate & Humber Hawk, the van further along is a Austin or Morris J2 and the small car pulling out is a Hillman Husky Van which would have been converted to a car by adding windows and rear seats which was done often at that time as I think there was no tax to pay on the van. My father did it with an old Commer van in the early 60's.
  11. I hope they got a dram of Glenmhor after parade to warm them up!
  12. My son was born in 1984 and my daughter December 1986 both in the old one and the new one opened not long after so would be 1987, and I was born in Dunoon a long way from Raigmore.
  13. I think the first bit collapsed after e first Wick train in the morning.
  14. Easy IHE the junction of Raigmore Brae & Millburn Road, you can see Harbour Road on the other side of the railway, at that time the first building on the left would be the slaughter house and on the right was Autosales garage. Millburn caravan park which I think closed late 60's. The D series Ford would be a 10 tonner, there is a Rover 90 on the left & Mk1 Ford Escort on the right at the filling station.
  15. It is easier when you post the pictures
  16. Yes, the junction of the A939 & A940 (The Dava near Lochindorb) and a bit of history for Charles (the old military road)
  17. A good one of the Old High Church on the left, I got married there in 1982.
  18. That was outside the Rolls Royce Showroom I have mentioned in a previous post, on the left as you head east along Strothers Lane.
  19. Yes, they do a different one every year to advertise the annual ploughing competition.
  20. You are right about the car Charles I haven't a clue! It was the Falcon Square open market which run on Saturdays sometime between 1975 & 1980. It didn't last long, I knew 2 BT engineers who had stalls there, Eddie Mutch Fruit & Veg and Chris Neill an Old bottle & any other junk he could find stall!
  21. I am sure I red that they had got funding to do up the old hall which would be good to see it being used again. I went to judo a couple of times about 1969 but didn't like being thrown about so never went back and was not interested in the boxing either. The shop painted yellow used to be Mackay the butcher!
  22. There is one of them (not sure which one) had a red tin roof it was Logan Cottage
  23. The next one for leader of the Lib Dems will surely be 'Danny Boy' if he keeps his seat!
