Greenock Docks

Popped in to the docks on my way home this evening.

Light fading, but a shot in the Garvel Dry Dock, and a few at the quayside in James Watt Dock.

Busy River Clyde This Morning

A fair bit of activity on the river this morning as the barges 'Nab' and Needles' departed under tow with the tug 'Kingston'.

Dredging work at Faslane must have been completed.

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.
