  1. That could be anywhere in the Highlands, it may have been the winter of 1978/79 I think when the Black Isle was covered like this even driving a lorry was strange only seeing snow out the sides 10 feet deep in the drifts. I was down between Culbokie and Poyntzfield in the morning and 2 guys had started to dig their car out similar to the snowplough. Passing back up the road a few hours later they had uncovered the car only to find it would not start After a jumpstart to get them going they went on their way.
  2. You are far to polite Charles
  3. No gritters in them days, just piles of sand at the road side an use your own shovel.
  4. Not an easy one but only a guess, it may be Tarbert or Scalpay in Harris.
  5. I bet you can count on nothing from Aberdeen, they are far to mean!

    Think positive Charles! I do wonder if that plus option 6 will be a total waste of public money!
  7. That's west to a not so busy Thurso harbor, the church tower in the town center stands out like a sore thumb!
  8. That is some dump of snow in Grantown on Spey, I think that old sign is still on the now closed Strathspey Hotel!

    A high spring tide at the Ness Bank Church, we shouldn't see that again when they finally finish the flood barriers!
  10. The game will be off this weekend then!
  11. The Wick herring fleet at a time when 500 gallons of whisky a day was consumed!
  12. The old Post Office and Telephone Exchange on Queensgate which would have been demolished in the early sixties to make way for the building that is now the Modern Post Office!

    Great viewing, good luck Billy whatever you decide to do!
  14. Back to Laurel Avenue looking north from the roundabout. There was a young guy lived in No9 away down on the right hand side in the late 70's who had a Flame Orange Mk3 Cortina 2000GT
  15. I do remember Brown Brothers but not having a cycle department though. Another fine structure in it's day!
  16. Not got a clue on this one IHE and you can't even see out the window to see if there is a car outside!

    THE DANCING

    It's not the Playhouse as I remember it, I thought you went up steps and I have never herd of Soldiers and Sailors Home in Inverness. The photo is from Baron Taylors St with the Imperial Bar on the left which was still called that until the late seventies. And the car may be a Triumph Mayflower
  20. The top of Lower Kessock Street with Thornbush Road beyond the railway bridge and Hugh Jamieson's lorry turning on to Grant Street. In 1968 on the right was Davidsons the Grocer which was run by a pipe smoking man called Calum, just down a bit was K Junor another Grocer and very near that was Grant's Agriculture yard. That photo will be late 50's with the Ford Popular and the Albion behind but can't make out the name on it.
  21. Vince Robb's Bon Accord, I remember the lorries going around the streets with about 10 kids hanging on the back going round the doors selling the lemonade!
  22. That's an easy one IHE it's a red Ford Anglia
