Old Scans
Clearing out my parents garage, I found some old CDs I thought were lost for ever. The main excitement is being reunited with some songs I had lost and hadn't been able to recreate (like The People With Computers in Their Head), but along with my music CDs were a couple with scans of slides of Scottish scenes.
When I first created loveofscotland.com as a project to fill my spare time when on leave from working offshore (coming up for 13 years ago!) I decided to make pictures no wider than 600 pixels. A good monitor had a resolution of 800 pixels wide. But times change, and so I spent some time this Christmas holiday tidying up the scans and sticking them on loveofscotland.com. Here's a selection...
Castlebay, Barra:
On Curved Ridge, Glencoe:
Castle Tioram:
Rois Bheinn Summit:
Inveraray Castle:
Park Circus, Glasgow:
Edinburgh:
Grey Mare's Tail:
St Monans
Loch Quioch:
Hill House, Helensburgh:
I have plenty more slides I'd like to put online, but no scanner at the moment. Decent ones are still ridiculously expensive, even second hand. Anyway, that will do for now...
