Not the best of images, but that is the sad state of the retired "North Carr Lightship" moored in Dundee. Built in 1932/3 and Scotland's only remaining lightship. On the National Historic Ships Register. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Carr_Lightship I am informed that after various problems, a new team are about to re-start the restoration. I do hope that happens and not the proposed scrapping mentioned in the news media. Wish them all the best, ship restoration is neither easy nor cheap !

The other one of these three Yellow and Black vessels is moored across the river. It's in the background of the Shannon image. They are "Offshore Supply Vessels" - I think they answer to Njord Viking, Loke Viking and over at the other bank is what I think is Balder Viking. The fence / crash barrier protects those parking at night from a long drop into the river. I'm standing on the quay just outside the lifeboat station ...

Heading up the A90 [?] we could see snow on some of the higher points of the Scottish landscape - these are probably the Fintry Hills, almost hidden behind the closer ridge. Sadly, I missed the better examples and the roadside trees didn't help ...

On our way up into Scotland, we needed some food. The place we stopped at, outside Forfar, had an interesting menu. This is Cullen Skink - smoked haddock soup - absolutely delicious, as was the cheese scone. {I haven't had any for years, and I'm going to look up the recipe when we get home}
