Wonderful places I've visited over the years (for the Clyde area, please see my other blog)! Monday, September 12, 2011. This attractive small, hexagonal, lighthouse, built in 1851, is located at the westernmost lock of the canal in Crinan. It’s 6 metres high and the llight is 8 metres above sea level. The light flashes every 3 seconds and is white or green depending on the direction. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Finally moved back to Scotland in 2011 after nearly 50 years away!

Wonderful places I've visited over the years (for the Clyde area, please see my other blog)! Monday, October 6, 2008. The picturesque village of Killin in Perthshire is in the heart of the Highlands. I have been there several times (mostly on the way to Aberfeldy) but only have a few photos which I took in 1972, when I visited Killin with my aunts.

Thursday, October 18, 2012. 16 miles south of Oban, this remote and beautiful sea loch is well worth a visit. It’s a wonderful place for hill walking and cycling.

Wonderful places I've visited over the years (for the Clyde area, please see my other blog)! Monday, September 13, 2010. A lovely place I visited a lot as a child, usually as a stop for lunch on the way to Oban from Greenock! I don't have photos from every occasion but these are a few from the family album. First of all, the famous castle, of course! I took this (and the two below) in May 1968. The main shopping street. Some lads cooling off in the water! The Inveraray Bridge on Loch Fyne, August 1968.

Wonderful places I've visited over the years (for the Clyde area, please see my other blog)! Wednesday, May 20, 2009. We visited the amazing Falkirk Wheel last October (2008) in terrible rainstorms, but it was a great day out nevertheless once we were indoors! A model of the wheel inside a glass case in the shop. Two members of staff in the cafe. Here we are at one of the tables! Some of my short movie clips below from the boat:. The official website is here. And the Wikipedia page here. My Art and Photos.
