This is the Forth and Clyde Canal. In 1963 the canal was closed rather than construct a motorway crossing, and so it became disused and semi-derelict. Canal locks in the Falkirk area on the Union Canal near the connection to the Forth and Clyde canal had been filled in and built over in the 1930s. As part of the millennium celebrations in 2000, National Lottery funds were used to regenerate both canals. A boatlifting device, the Falkirk Wheel, was built to connect the two canals and once more allow boats to travel from the Clyde or Glasgow to Edinburgh, with a new canal connection to the River Carron and hence the River Forth. The Falkirk Wheel opened on 27 May 2002 and is now a tourist attraction. HBM and a good week to all, ,,,,,, in 16.9 format therefore a large view may be better!

A misty view of the Loch Indaal Lighthouse, Port Charlotte, Island of Islay. Discovered in the archives and taken on the first of many visits to The Whisky Island, The lighthouse (also known as Rubh'an Duin or Rubha an Duin) is a picturesque, compact lighthouse on the southeast side of the Rhinns of Islay peninsula, on the island of Islay (one of Scotland's Inner Hebrides, often called the "Queen of the Hebrides" or "whisky island"). It sits near the village of Port Charlotte, overlooking the sea loch of the same name. Built: 1869 by renowned Scottish lighthouse engineers David and Thomas Stevenson, About 13 metres (43 ft) — a relatively short, "stumpy" white cylindrical brick tower with a balcony, lantern room, black dome, and ochre/yellow trim HFF and a good weekend ,,,,,,,, in 16.9 format therefore a large view may be good!

A somber sky and mood for this image of Bornesketaig Church, which is a ruined church on the Trotternish Peninsula of the Isle of Skye, Scotland. It sits in the Kilmuir area, visible from Kilmuir Cemetery. The ruins stand on a grassy slope above Camus Mor Bay, overlooking the sea—making it a handy navigational landmark for vessels in the past, Built in 1810. Still shown as intact on Ordnance Survey maps from 1903. Recorded as a ruin by the 1961 map (it likely fell into disuse sometime in between, possibly around the 1920s when a new church opened nearby in Balgown). HWW to all!,,,,,,,,,,, Large perhaps !

Moine House is a ruined stone cottage in the remote Scottish Highlands of Sutherland, sitting on the vast blanket bog of A' Mhòine This area forms part of the Flow Country, one of Europe's largest peatlands. The house was built in 1830 as a halfway refuge for travelers crossing the difficult moorland between Loch Eriboll/Loch Hope and the Kyle of Tongue. Before the road, traversing the bog was a major obstacle—impracticable for most except hardy locals, often taking a full day of toil. The first proper road across the 14-mile morass was constructed at the sole expense of the Marquess of Stafford (later Duke of Sutherland), with the house serving both as shelter for weary travelers caught in bad weather and as a modest family home. (Ben Loyal range as a backdrop) HWW and a good 2nd half of the week!

The Skye Museum of Island Life is a fascinating open-air museum located in Kilmuir on the Trotternish Peninsula of the Isle of Skye, Scotland.
