  1. Shouldn't have told me that I might be tempted to chip of a stone for my garden I have got stones from all my travels throughout the Highlands and Islands in my garden and even a cobble from Edinburgh! It's a bit off topic but here is the front.
  2. Well a fresh look again tonight and it's Loch Tulla Viewpoint. I have passed and stopped there many times without even noticing a cairn! Here is a couple from the same place.
  3. I am sure I know this one but can't think where it is someone else might have a clue.
  4. The main stand side appears to be sorted but the side opposite was not looking great.
  5. The well of the seven heads at Invergarry. As a boy living in Fort Augustus going to visit my Grandparents in Dalwhinnie that was always the stop for a treat in the summer it was a Mivi ?
  6. I thought that would have been a hard one to work out! I stayed there for a couple of night for my 50th birthday (a few years ago ) it was excellent. The first owner of the hotel had a guest house there and liked a flutter on the horses. He had a big win on one that enabled him to extend the house into a hotel. The name of the horse...............Tingle Creek
  7. You will know where this is but where was it taken from?
  8. I have it now that was harder as I was thinking it was away in the back of beyond! Dalmally old church hall it's right beside the main road near the auction mart
  9. No I was up early this morning but still no idea so I will have to leave this one to you!
  10. Well that narrows it down a bit I will have to sleep on it tonight.
  11. That's much better than my house Looks like an old village hall, is it down Kinlochmoidart way? On the last one from IHE I have not been past the Glenuig Inn and surprised he got past it as well
  12. Looks like Rassay and the Cullins from Camusterrach Wester Ross.
  13. That is an AEC registered in 1948 outside the old school at Muir of Ord on the old A9.

    Ferries

    Canary, if you are going from Oban to Mull you could then get the short ferry to Lochaline on the mainland then head for Malaig and across to Armadale (All Cal Mac) on Skye. Assuming you are not going to the Outer Hebrides you can get the ferry from Kylerhea to Glenelg which is a small private turntable ferry. From there head for Kyle and up the coast to Plockton and keep as much to the coast as you head north. A lot of single track roads but worth it! If you have not been to Orkney before it's worth getting the ferry from Scrabster to Stromness (Northlink Ferries) and return from St Margarets Hope to Gills Bay (Pentland Ferries). I hope this helps. You can also do a daily report with photos for us
  15. I am happy if I hear the announcements
  16. A cosy smoking lounge for coffee ?
  17. Beast they would be better demolishing the lot. I don't think cladding is a good option for any building
  18. No that's one I have never been on. The last I heard someone was going to renovate the Scott 11

    Ferries

    I traveled on the Hebrides many times a very good boat for that crossing. I have a friend from Edinburgh who went from Ullapool to Stornoway with their dog and campervan and returned from Harris to Uig. He did not enjoy the sailing and on the return journey he had a few beers (I think he had too many) and left his wife to drive off the ferry. He told me the ferry must have run aground before arriving in Uig saying you could hear the bottom scraping on the rocks I explained to him this was the crew unchaining the lorries and dragging the chains along the deck

    Good photos again Mantis you must be older than I thought or you must have started your travels as a boy
  23. That was in the good old days when you could turn down Church Street from High Street.
