Summerlee Museum, Coatbridge

 
 As I was in the area I went up to the Summerlee Museum in Coatbridge.

It's many years  since I visited last and it has come on leaps and bounds with their exhibits and well worth a visit.

Even took a trip on the 'shoogly' - an apt description for the old trams - and thoroughly enjoyed.

New Lanark - Autumn


After my trip for the steam train photos, I went over to New Lanark and secured these images.

Lovely place and the autumn colours enhanced the views around the village.

Princess Elizabeth - Steam Heritage Locomotive


A very early Sunday start to get down to Carstairs to catch the 'Princess Elizabeth' as she went through Carstairs.

Elegant and beautiful in her crimson livery she was a joy to behold in the autumn sun.

She was of course appropriately adorned with her Armistice Wreath in memory of our fallen military personnel.
