Haven't posted for a while. I've been off staying with my folks in Glenluce for a couple of days. Had a good days fishing at Port Logan with Dad, we caught some good sized Ballan Wrasse, pollock, colefish, a couple of flatfish and a gurnard. Best catch of the day was a huge edible crab that Dad got, it was stealing his bait and got its leg tangled in the line. Made for some very good eating. It must have been sitting there stealing fishermens bait for years.

Popped up through Glentrool to Ayreshire, picture of a statue of Robert Burns wife. Then on to Douglas for a picture of the oldest working clock in Scotland, gifted to the town by Mary Queen of Scots.

Then on to Glamis for a picture of a pictish standing stone. There are actually two in the vicinity of Glamis. The obvious one is in the garden of Glamis manse. Less obvious and probably more interesting is the St. Orlando stone which is in a field on the outskirts of town. It was a bit of a hike to get there. This stone has a picture of a viking longship on it. It's less well preserved but more authentically pictish.

I'm in Forfar just now, had a night out with my brother and his mates. All very sociable. I'll stay tonight then onwards tomorrow.
