A Road trip to Mallaig, North(ish) West Scottish Highlands done in my car while the bike is undergoing surgery I'm afraid.

Nice weather up there. Are these recent pictures? Seems to be the perfect time for taking pictures at Glenfinnan. No tourists to be seen.

Again, GREAT pics Mr. Frogwell ! Your last post inspired me to go out and fix some of the bikes in my shed.

It's difficult to get the motivation to start sometimes isn't it? Once I get going I'm fine, I can spend hours, night after night fixing up the vehicles, but it's just that initial inertia to get out there is sometimes a little difficult to muster :)

Ask anyone I can't even spell "motivation".

Keep up the great work...No it must be a pleasure..

Frogwell, once again you have posted great pics, to us Scots the Glen Finnan monument is sacred ground.
I have been there last time was in 1990 or 91.
Thanks again.

Wow!

Very nice pics! What lense/camera combinations do you use (I'm sure you've been asked this a million times). Do you use a fish eye and digitally correct?

Also, I'll be in Scotland this fall. Is that a good time?

Isn't that bridge the one they used to film the flying car scene in the second Harry Potter movie? Glenfinnan viaduct? Near Lochaber?

Thanks

Those photos are incredible! Were they taken with a digital camera?

As always, absolutely stunning. I think you are singlehandedly driving up real estate prices in Scotland..
