Ruined 1824 Church of Scotland. The closed off graveyard has a 14th C. Celtic Cross with a polishing stone.Older sites nearby have been aged at 8th C.Its also a Commonwealth Cemetery for the two mass drownings of downed ships during the two world wars.
TBF they did reopen it after about 30 yrs of non activity.
Part of my documentation of classic cars in the wild in Berlin.
Lived nearby to me. Still a coveted wee car even back then.Germans take their Mini's very seriously.
Nicki's camera.Its such a small file..but I still like it.
Canon G10.
Scene in the wild and domesticated situations.
Student era photo. I lived near here.
Apologies for multiple posts! Built with iron captured off a German cargo ship.Mine is still in operation.This has always been local to me and I virtually knew zero about the history.
There are several of these dotted around the area...this is Acharacle...theres one on the A861 nr Ft William..and Ive seen others close to Inverness. Circa 1940s. From when electricity was first introduced into the area.
Snow in April in the Highlands is called a Cuckoo Spring.I was living in Acharacle at the time.
Acharacle to Glenfinnan. Im not sure when this dates back to...this is where the boat would winter out of the water.
I have a long history with this beast going back to 2008.Ended up buying it in a package deal in 2020. My late landlord had it first..but the problematic gearbox saw it stand again..after he'd thrown cash at it.
Albert Lewin. Edinburgh. 1899-1974. He trained as a lace designer from the age of 9.This painting was from his degree show at Edinburgh Art College 1923. He was a pilot in the Royal Flying Corps post WW1...flew a bi plane under the Forth Rail Bridge..and was Lancaster Bomber Command Squadron Leader in WW2. He had five children.He then became an art teacher.I still have a small pile of his original art supplies...and i use the watercolours. Hardly any of his work survives. My cousin has this painting.
Taken from a family home just above Port Askaig ..thats been around since the early 20thC. The Paps of Jura..this is where George Orwell wrote u/1984..to the left of the image. The Gaelic myth is a Giantess Fenian was using Jura as a stepping stone coming from Northern Ireland..and she tripped on the Pap and fell and broke her neck...her finger marks etched into the side of the mountain.
