This weekend Historic Scotland are letting you access their properties for free, so I thought it would be an ideal opportunity to have a trip along to Stanley Mills at Stanley (15 minutes drive) It is a huge complex of old mill buildings, part of which have been converted into flats. The mill is right beside the River Tay. The visitor centre has been very well done, interest for all ages and very hands...

Campsie Linn, River Tay, Perth, Scotland. Campsie Linn on 22nd November 2009. As the floodwater in Scotland subsides, The River Tay is still running high. Perth was one of the earliest places to install flood defences against the might of the River Tay, and this has proven a wise move. Campsie Linn normally has a nice beach, and is popular in Summer, but for now the beach has disappeared under the...

The River Tay by Newburgh North Fife November 18th. A dreich day, dull, murky, cold, wet of a kind that finds ageing joints without much feeling good factor.

The weather being...

Here we see an order from Wykes of Leicester placed on 10 August 1978. India became independent in 1947 and imposed import tariffs on cotton goods, damaging a major export market. The growing availability of electricity also shrank the market for belting. By the late 1960s, Stanley was mainly producing artificial fibres. In 1979, a management buyout led to the formation of Stanley Mills (Scotland),...

View from Black hill,Perthshire, Scotland. Nice walk in the Sidlaws today. The view from the Black hill captures most of Perthshire, being an ideal viewpoint.

View from Black Hill to River Tay. To search for a cottage...

One morning recently, I came across the Morgans. They were out for a walk with their little dog, Mo. After calling off little Mo, who had presented herself to me in a most affectionate way, and explaining that she was in season, Morgan told me that my blog lacked zing. He liked it when I was in ranting mode, but felt that photographs of rushing water and autumnal landscapes were not sufficiently exciting....

The Lake district is a magical spot but you have to stay in a holiday cottage in Scotland to experience the wonders of the "Loch District". There are over 31000 lochs and lochans (small inland loch) in Scotland. Yes really! You can ask Lochearnhead's resident sea plane pilot who has landed on many of them. There is only one freshwater Lake in Scotland. The Lake of Menteith. Many lochs boast...
