Grangemouth Refinery

Grangemouth Refinery is a major industrial landmark in the Forth Valley.

It can't be claimed to be pretty with its numerous gas flares and cooling towers dominating the landscape.

Through the hours of darkness it is very brightly illuminated and can be seen for miles around.

It does however produce and supply refined products to customers in Scotland and other parts of the UK.

It also provides much needed employment in the area, and is I believe the UK's second-oldest refinery.

Bo'ness Station After Dark

After travelling around the area during daylight hours it was now time to spend some time at Bo'ness Station as the services were running in the evening.

A good - and perhaps challenging - opportunity to get some images in different lighting conditions.

Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway Day Trip

What better way to spend the day than a visit to Bo'ness and Kinneil railway.

Some lovely sunshine and relatively warm for the time of year too.

Not too early a start either as intending to spend the evening here for some night shots.

Covered a variety of locations and enjoyed the sun while it lasted.
