on the grass...

 Four days of grasstrack racing..we are "fillers" in the general events..

 the fell run course

Alva, near Stirling...then next day to the West and Rosneath..




Under every tree..a piper trying to stay in tune! With a rough track and long grass, I missed out on this one.
Loch Lomond on the way home.
Its there somewhere...honest....

Next day,a complete contrast...Burntisland,opposite Edinburgh,on the Forth...and the games held on the public links in fair week...









 and then the long drive over the Rest and be Thankful to Inverary on the West again..somewhere we must visit again, with camera and drawing book,to enjoy and go leisurely.
The games were held on the shinty field of Inverary Castle, the home of the Dukes of Argyll, and head of Clan campbell.

 the estate gardeners,mending the divots raised by the Heavies...
 and the Inverary and District pipe band...world champions...

 and me,bringing up the rear,making up the numbers!

and above all,the watchtower,once on alert for invaders

We longed to stay longer once the games had finished...but at 4 pm
 with a hundred miles to drive.....
