Good day Oz, Once again such great photo's. I for one am very grateful for all your input. We are living here in Hot Sunny Cyprus and your lovely photography takes us back and it great when the memories come flooding back.

Please keep them coming.

Kindest regards

Peter

Very nice photos Oz. The View from Drumburn is particularly good, really captures Scotland.

Not many hardware shops have a replica of a 1920's motorbike for sale in the window! If you zoom in on the card with the bike you'll see the details of what it is.

What I like is that nothing changes. Always looked like that. Thanks for reminders and sharing.

We like that too but don't spread it too widely - let most people continue to bash on from Carlisle or Berwick for the central belt and the Highlands and Islands!;)

Great post of the pictures off Scotland, made me slightly homesick. So much colour and diversity. A lot of them remind me of the highlands of Scotland, the countryside is just breathtaking.
