Glencoe in July

These are lovely, they look like postcards! Is that your brother taking a photo of the car? Was it a rental and he really liked it or something?

Yes, that was my brother, GB, but the car is his own. He calls it the Nighthawk and yes, he really likes it.

Beautiful photos of a place about which I've always known but never visited. Call us strange, but in Cape Breton people know all the words to The Massacre at Glencoe!

They are all great, with the 3rd from the top being my favourite in this series.

Hi Scriptor Senex,
What a spacious and wonderful area it is! You and your brother seem to monopolize this splendid beauty. I guess the charm of these grass fields differ from season to season. If you take photos here in different time, please post them! Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes,
keiko

Oh, to step foot there...is only a dream for me. Beautiful landscape...I would love to get lost in there for awhile.

Such lovely photos, and such a beautiful place. I've never been there, though I'd like to visit, but my sister-in-law (who is of Scottish descent) said it is the saddest place she's ever been, that the sadness and horror of what happened there has impregnated the very stones.
Did you feel that way too?

It certainly has a unique atmosphere, Canadian Chickadee. The first time I went through Glencoe as an adult was in the mist and rain and it seemed so closed in and heavy that I have always felt eeing it in sunshine is not really ideal - the4 scenery is lovelier but the atmosphere less obvious.

Ooooh Scriptor Senex, my family name is McDonald and old wounds run deep.

My mother won't ever buy Campbell soup!

Yes. I do love my car - up to a point! At the end of the day it's a pile of metal. I think I was checking my camera settings at that moment - the screen can point upwards.

We always enjoy a drive through Glencoe because there are so many different moods and you'll seldom see the same mood twice.

The Cast

This is my main blog insofar as it is the one I try to ensure has at least one entry per day - and usually two. It is also the one which has my Friday My Town Shoot-out on it.

My home is in Pensby on The Wirral in Cheshire, England but at the moment I am on holiday in the Outer Hebrides, staying at my brother's near Stornoway. (Somewhere I have a little map that says I am here and points to Stornoway but I can't find it and am too lazy to make another one). This is the cast of characters who appear regularly:-

Me - sometimes known as CJ or John and otherwise known as Scriptor Senex; Jo (alias Partner-who-loves-tea and also known as Partner-who-hates-being-photographed); Bryony (Food-loving-Daughter); Bryony's husband Mark (Son-in-law-who-cooks); Helen (Daughter-who-takes-photos); Helen's husband Ian (a.k.a. Son-in-law-and-Friend-who-loves-Otters); Richard (Son-who-watches-films);
