Hi Piers,
I'm still around, but don't get to post much these days. 4-year-old
daughter, plus insane job, plus attempting to move house has put a stop to
most leisure activities around here for the last few months.
One day it will get quieter. I just keep telling myself that !
Glad to see you and Chris managed to meet up with a few list members in
Scotland. I am just a little jealous of the scenery you have up there. One
day I'll get back ...
Jon

Good to see that you are still around, Jon - long time no see, or was I
asleep?

Iconic indeed. Used extensively in the "Highlander" film, and also in one
of the Bonds ("The World Is Not Enough", I believe).
Went there years ago, with a group of my student friends. One of them
bought a replica "Highlander" sword in the gift shop. I'll never forget him
running over the bridge shouting "there can be only one", as Japanese
tourists ran for cover ...
Gorgeous photos anyway - makes me realise I have a lot of scanning still to
do.

Two views of Eilean Donan Castle, arguably Scotland's most iconic castle. We
heard it pronounced two ways: A-len Donan, or ELL-en Donan. Very old and
storied structure, destroyed during the Jacobite unpleasantness. Two views
at this point, one black and white, one color. Not the same image.
