Many thanks, Gary, Akira and Jakov -  stay cool, J. - the time will pass already too quickly. When you're my age, anyway.   :-\ :)

My broadband suddenly went down just then but came back on very quickly - anyway here is Killin main street at rush hour.   ;)

Fabulous images, Dave !

I enjoyed each of them. 8)

the last one (Killin) gives us an idea what your environment looks like (perhaps without the snow when we meet, though.)

Can't wait... :)

These are great! I never realized Scotland had landscapes like that. It looks like mountains that are much taller than 1200m. I would have guess 5000m or more.

Thanks for your kind comments, Jakov, hotrod and rosko.

Dave, do we need to pay congestion charges in Killin :)

Jakov - yes, and I am the official collector, £20 per day, cash only.   8)

I like the "rush hour" concept of that little town. Pretty dramatic congestion of the streets :D

What a lovely town. The images in this thread makes me wish I had lived a little closer to this gathering.
