We have just returned from our tour of Scotland. Starting up the east coast, along the North then down the West as far as Ullapool where we boarded the ferry for Lewis and Harris. After a few days on the Western isles we returned to the mainland to finish our tour down to Glasgow.
A few pictures.

Some of those pictures are exceptional especially the one of the viaduct.

Went up to Scotland many years ago and loved the place especially the Lochs. Used to drive up there also when on the Liquid Sugar Contract.

Regards
Nigel.

Beautiful pictures, Mick! Thanks for sharing them with us. I noticed a group of trainspotters in your viaduct picture. B-)

It’s the Jacobite steam train crossing the Glenfinnan viaduct, made famous by the ‘Harry Potter’ films. It crosses twice a day and there are always crowds waiting with their phones and cameras every journey. Quite a spectacle.

Many thanks, Mick.
A good selection you've put up for us.
Mrs A thinks that's Robbie Burns locked into the tiny yard on top of the tower; I wouldn't know :dunno:
