Edinburgh – City of Stag Parties
Walking up to Church Street and spotted ‘flesh’ in the window of 56 North. Had to take the photo … -
Edinburgh’s Cost Effective Tram lines
Why waste billions of £s laying miles of tram lines when all you need is a few metres! -
Myra the Border Terrier
Sitting waiting for people to arrive, I look right to see a small dog approach from the horse yard. Next, I look left and the little devil is sitting next to me, looking at where I’m looking, up the hill. I get out my phone and the ‘bitch’ has decided to rest her paws on [...] -
The Big Knicker Shop
Yes Ladies, you can still get them, for all shapes and sizes of bums. In a small town called Dollgellau near the Royal Hotel is a relic to the past. Ronnie Barker would have been proud to have this outlet as a compliment to his corner shop. Inside were functional clothes for all weathers and even [...] -
The Three Peaks finally done!

Above each Close is a name plaque and sometimes a little bit of history. But one Close has the most decorative stonework plus a scroll [...] -
Campagnolo – Genius!
At the top of a very, very steep pass in the Feltre area is the village of Croce D’Aune. Once you’ve got your breath back and look around you’ll see locals sitting under the canopy of the only hotel left open on the pass. Also around you is a tourist office, car park and some [...] -
Neist Point
A very strange thing indeed. You walk onto the shore and all around you are piles of rocks, little cairns constructed carefully, often tediously, just to be different from its neighbour. And there are hundreds of them all scattered around the point. I realised that when people came to Skye, had travelled for hundreds of miles [...]
