The Battle of Culloden was fought on 16th April 1746 and it was to be the last battle to be fought on British soil. I grew up not to far from here, and the battle site was a pretty regular location for school trips. It was a sombre and sobering experience.

As a Scotland fan, I don’t often get much to cheer about. This year’s competition was no exception. And so now I look forward to the World Cup this autumn, in hope more than expectation…

I just love how peaceful this is. The moon reflecting on the waves and the distant streetlights of a town/village on the far shore.

The waiting is almost over and, in a couple of hours this year’s competition will kick off.

A scan of a photo, taken probably about 1985 with my first camera. I used to walk under this (Edinkillie Viaduct) every day on my way too and from the school bus.

Today is Burn’s Night in Scotland.Which is basically just another excuse, as if we needed one, to drink a lot.

Kelpies are a mythical beast that live in lochs and take the form of horses.
