Dunure

Down on Ayrshire coast between Ayr and Culzean is the little fishing village of Dunure.
When my father was alive it was one of his favourite places to visit. So as a memorial to him we always try and stop if we are near.
Today I took mum out for a drive and we ended up stopping by the harbour for half an hour.

While looking around the castle I read about its history. Quite interesting story including the roasting of the abbot!





Also digging through my files I found an image from the mid 70's today's shot is not from the same spot but its close.

Llangrannog

I guess anyone who has a collection of old family photographs has some photographs that they can't associate with any of their relatives.
In my case I have a collection of prints of pictures taken all over Great Britain. Some I can recognise but most are of unknown locations. 
A very few of the pictures have a location written on the back but most don't. 
The composition of the pictures are all of good quality, far more than casual snaps. Very few have people in them. Infact more have horse and carts than people.

The main set of images that are annotated are from the small port of Llangrannog, located on the Welsh coast of Cardigan Bay near Newport.






It is hard to date these images. I would have a guess that they date from the turn off the 19/20th Century.

Sunset Margaretting

 A nice sunset but full moon stayed behind the clouds.
