Taken in the '70s but not featured here until June 2005 is this picture taken (as far as I can remember) near the village of Skinflats beside Grangemouth. Longannet power station is on the other (North) side of the River Forth.

I have no idea of the purpose of this construction, or how it came to be damaged the way it is. Something to do with the Second World War, perhaps.

A personal favourite. Taken from near the Kincardine Bridge over the River Forth. This is an updated scan of the original negative. Photographed in the mid to late 1970s.

Grangemouth is visible in the distance. Birds' footprints are discernible in the middle foreground.

This passenger-carrying boat leaves from Linlithgow and visits the aqueduct. There's a pleasant walk between Polmont and Linlithgow, too.

Across the other side of the canal is this large pool. This is on the Polmont side of the aqueduct. Its purpose is presumably for boats to turn round for the return journey to Linlithgow.

At the southern edge of the Ochil Hills is the town of Dollar. There's a spectacular walk up the glen, part of which is shown here.

This was taken a few years ago inside the castle. Everything was all ready; you just switched on the kettle and helped yourself. "20p for a cup of tea" says the hand-written notice.
