           Spent a few days away last week with my wife on holiday. We were staying at Inverness and did a little walking although the weather was poor some of the time. The picture with the tree and my wife was showing one of a number of Douglas Fir planted around 1860, I"ve never seen this large before in Scotland. Couple of highland cattle was all I could find for those who like livestock. The house looks as if its one of only a few sole survivors of this low level and very basic construction. Hope you enjoy these. Bill |

| Scotland is beautiful. Was stationed in Dunoon for 2 years. Used to love hopping on the cycle and just cruising the countryside. |

| I see you have a yeah or nay coming up shortly. what is the opinion out there.This time there is no army. Always enjoy the photographs.My GG mother came to Australia from Wick right after she got married, I suggest it might have been around about the time of the potatoe famine or when the crofters got shafted, however things weren"t good there. |

| The Jeep belongs to my brother who is no longer able to drive it (he's wheelchair much of the time). He has very kindly offered it to me and my sons, we live 600 miles apart but I am going to go get him and support him on a visit back to Scotland to see parents and friends on his 50th birthday. I guess the Jeep will make its way up to Scotland fairly soon, we are thinking of converting it to LPG due to heavy cost of petrol (LPG is about half price). Bill |

| | Great. Love the scenery and the cattle. Probably still have some family members there, but no one in the family has any contacts there. Last names would be Potter or Pyle. |
