Steam Trains Head North - West Highland Line

Despite the miserable 'summer' weather continuing to make things challenging - I went across to Garelochhead to get a few images of the steam train heading to Fort William for the start of the summer Jacobite train tours.

It rained hard while they were at the station - so images are perhaps not as nice as I would have liked.

HMS Ambush Submarine - Faslane Departure

I was fortunate enough to catch HMS Ambush as she departed Faslane.

I was on my way to Garelochhead to get a few images the the North bound steam train when I saw her come down the loch.

Ultimax - Bulk Carrier

Nice to see one of the bigger vessels on the Clyde.

The bulk carrier ' Ultimax' passed Port Glasgow on her way upriver to Glasgow this morning, so got a few images before I headed over to the other side of the river.
