Yes a lot better than what we have now, the building that is not the horse & carts
-
The best parts of the old town seem to have been demolished in the 60s, I am sure the buildings could and should have been renovated!
-
Great through to the next round
-
Hope we can hang on!
-
I initially thought that was Station Square but didn't recognize the building on the right. After what Charles said I had another look and realized he is right on looking closer you can see the Railways War Memorial which is still there on the wall above the old Austin Taxi. Looking at the Taxi Office it looks like there was a lane between the two buildings.

Even Chick Young has to praise ICT today! Hope they can get another goal to seal a win.
-
The Clansman, it has not changed that much over the years.
-
A lot of open space at the prison on the bottom right! Church Street seems very wide at the north end where you can see old buildings where the telephone exchange is now. Note the very large roofs on the St Columba, Free North and Old High churches.
-
That is the Kiosk at Kilmuir on the Black Isle, BT removed the payphone a couple of years ago but the locals would not let them take the kiosk away, it was bought by the community for £1 and they have to upkeep it.

A Bedford OLB
-
Which was the one that Grasser stayed in?
-
Grantown on Spey?
-
Kingsmills Care Home and 9 large houses.

The Fort Augustus pier station was the end of the line coming north where the passengers and mail transferred to the SS Gondolier and sailed up Loch Ness. The last of the old buildings at the main station in Fort Augustus were demolished about 1966 to make way for the new school.
-
I think that was the popular one before Skol, was no competition for Tenants!
-
That looks like the North side of Bridge Street in 1959 or later (because there is a Mini in the shot - eat your heart out IBM ) with McManus's bike shop in the centre. The edge of the Gelluns is, I think, to be seem on the right hand margin. In between is the Record Rendezvous before it moved to what replaced the Northern meeting Rooms in Church St. You are getting better Charles! What size of engine did that one have?
-
It was never like that in the Caley just the floor swimming in drink!
-
Was the jags pitch not always like that?
-
Good pictures Tichy! The first 2 show the old ramp at Macrae & Dicks from different sides, I have seen the one of the Albion double decker before with the tin garage behind which was Macrae & Dick's as well. The minister beside the Bedford j series bus looks happy, note the Bedford Dormobile Black Maria parked outside the police station, anyone going to admit to being in the back of one of them? Did anyone have a Honda 50 like the one beside the red & blue Highland AEC?
-
My guess would be the Eastgate Hotel but Charles might know beter, he is older than me
-
The Leyland Bus is that the clippie standing at the rear? The car is a Vauxhall 10/4, is that the Empire behind the bus with the old SMT garage to the rear?
-
Missed this one, Morris Six, the next I don't know but note it has a foreign registration with a Vauxhall ( may be a Victor) tucked in behind.
-
Think it is Eastgate looking towards High Street with the only shop I recognize Riggs the butcher on the right. Mk 1 Ford Cortina, Mini, Mini? Austin A40 van I think, going other way Ford Popular or Prefect I think and Bedford Dormobile.
-
The south side of High Street with the only building still standing is on the left, might be Lipton grocer.
-
Not got a clue on that one but must have been in the early days of camera's as everybody is looking at it!
