Welcome.
Hallo. This site is essentially a gallery of some of our photographs from Scotland, and includes the Orkney Islands. Orkney, for those that don't know, is a group of islands six miles across the Pentland Firth from Caithness in north east Scotland. Some of the photographs were taken up to twenty or so years ago, others are more recent, so they have "progressed" from traditional SLR film cameras to digital; Panasonic, Olympus and JVC, occasionally coupled to a Sky-Watcher Explorer telescope. Any (minimal) editing is performed using Adobe Photoshop CS2. All the photographs were taken by myself, my wife, or our granddaughter (16), whose occasional "jokes" are featured as well, unfortunately. Sorry!
Some of you may have noticed (and some of you may have not) a link to our dogs website on the left. And on the right. Yes, I know, daft aren't we (barking, in fact)... Hutch is an Old English Mastiff, four years old in November this year. There's a (short at the moment) list of dog friendly Pubs, Hotels and Bed and Breakfasts (in Scotland), as well as photographs and video currently on his site. There are also links on the left to some photographs, of Scotland, Orkney, Egypt and, recently, Cambodia.
I will also attempt to upload my solutions to the Sunday Express General Knowledge Prize Crossword
and the Mail on Sunday Prize Crossword, usually by about 8.00pm (UK time) on the Sunday in question.
I cannot guarantee to do so, and I make no guarantee that I've got them correct.
Though I did win £25.00 once...........
Thankyou
for visiting this site. We hope that you like our photographs, or even the "Joke". If you are only here for an elusive crossword answer, then good luck should you enter the competition(s).
