New Camera Today
Well today was the day my new camera arrived, so had to give it a whirl.
Some shots of birds and swans in Greenock, and a wee sunset down Gourock way later in the evening.

Georg Stage - Danish Sailing Ship in Greenock
A nice day - went down to see the Georg Stage again as she was open to the public.
Very friendly crew and she was spick and span - as you would expect.
The crew are aboard for 3 - 4 month, and she sails at 10:00 tomorrow morning.

Birthday Treat
We had a very good day today - took my mum for a nice lunch to the Stables in Balloch.
It's her 81st birthday.
Then to the outlets for some shopping, and on to Luss where the sun shone brightly - and warmly. We had an ice cream sitting in the warmth.
Headed home, but not before we stopped off at Erskine to pick up some Pineapple cakes to have a coffee before we ran her home.

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.

Loch Katrine - Trossachs
A nice warm day, but the sun didn't break through till late afternoon.
Very peaceful, and some nice reflections.

Sunny Day
Nice sunny day today and warmer too. Wind spoiled any chance of a real warm one.

Killin, Stirlingshire
After a prolonged wait for the steam train at Crianlarich, we decided to head across to Killin for lunch.
After returning to Crianlarich to discover we had missed the train, we went back across to get some photos before heading on down to Loch Katrine.

Tourist Trail
Headed off to Crianlarich as heard that a steam train was bound for Fort William.
Sadly missed the train despite arriving early. Went off for a lunch and it came and went during that time.
Normally take on water at Crianlarich, but sadly for me, not today.

(HMS) Diamond - Type 5 Destroyer
Although not an "HMS" till she's handed over, here she is on trial and must be close to getting handed over to the Royal Navy.

Cloch Lighthouse & Submarine
Headed to the Cloch around lunch time as the USS Albany was departing Faslane to head downriver.
After a long chat with a local from Inverkip I decided to grab a few shots of the Cloch Lighthouse - an icon of the Gourock area.

Gourock Highland Games
It was Gourock's annual Highland Games this afternoon.
Remarkably, it stayed dry for the entire duration - which I believe is not always the case.
Had discussions with some French visitors - one of whom was a Professional Photographer, and a couple from Seattle on a short holiday.
