A Stroll Around Glasgow


A trip in to Glasgow today to have the sensor cleaned on my Canon camera.

As it takes a few hours I strolled around parts of the city.

As always I find Glasgow a friendly place and easy to engage in conversation with many of the people.

Below are a few of the images from the day.

Skelmorlie Aisle - Largs


The 'Skelmorlie Aisle' is regarded as one of the most ancient and ornate in Scotland. 

It was built in 1636 as a shrine by Sir Robert Montgomerie - a Scottish knight - to keep alive the memory of his wife Dame Margaret Montgomerie who had been killed in a riding accident a few years earlier.

Inside it comprises a Renaissance canopied tomb above the burial-vault entrance.

Greenock Esplanade


After a hurried dinner I scampered down to Greenock to get some pics of the SL Performance as she left the Greenock Ocean Terminal.

She was scheduled to move at 18:00, but the crew were obviously well unprepared and I gave up at 19:30 and headed home.
