Anchor Mills Waterfalls - Paisley

 After the walk around Paisley Abbey the rain was still coming down.

Walked over to the old Anchor Mills but too wet to spend any real time there.

A few shots while sheltering under the bridge, then a bit closer for a couple of 'grab' shots trying to keep the camera and lens dry.

Paisley Abbey

After catching the Tour train passing through Paisley station the rain prohibited any outdoor shooting.

Having never been to Paisley Abbey this presented an opportunity to get some images and also stay dry.

Also met someone from my past while there.

The Abbey is well worth a visit and it deserves another trip through some day.

Queen's Jubilee Beacon - Greenock

Over 4,200 Beacons were lit across the UK, and worldwide to celebrate The Queen's Diamond Jubilee tonight.

Greenock was no exception as a fair sized crowd assembled at the Lyle Hill to enjoy the occasion.

The weather was very kind and after the sun set, the beacon was lit at 22:15 after a few words were said.
