Chemtrans Oste - Bound for Glasgow

One of the many tankers passing Greenock as she heads upriver to Rothesay Dock near Glasgow.

Lovely to see the river on such a fine day.

Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway

Being over in that part of the country it's a no brainer to visit this lovely heritage railway line.

Pleased to see the 'Morayshire' in full steam today both on her departure, and arrival after her run to Kinneil and Birkhill.

The sun still shone and warm too. A pleasant day throughout.

Museum of Scottish Railways

Another visit to this museum - this time with tripod.

The museum consists of two main areas and contains many locomotives - both steam and diesel - plus rolling stock.

Another one that is worth a visit with the added incentive of a real working heritage railway next door.

Blackness Castle

 On reaching my third location today the sun was still shining and very warm indeed.

So, it was nice to be by the sea with a fresh wind blowing.

Blackness Castle was a very strategic castle and important to the monarchy of those times.
