Summerlee Museum, Coatbridge

 
 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.

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.

Myths and Legends Firework Display


Tonight was the firework display forming part of Inverclyde's 'Myths and Legends' event.

This is the fifth year of the event, and sadly it had less content than last year and there seems a decline in enthusiasm and imagination.

The event has declined each year with the first year by far the best so far.
