Sheep Dog Trials, Strathaven, Scotland
This evening, I am posting images and videos taken at the 2012 Scottish National Sheep Dog Trials held at Strathaven in Lanarkshire, south of Glasgow. Handlers and dogs in this post are: J.B. Ramsay with Rib, D. Wallace with Rob and N McEachern with Ann.
Carfin Lourdes Grotto, Central Belt, Scotland
Today, I visited an oasis of serenity in Scotland’s busy Central Belt, namely the Carfin Lourdes Grotto. A summary background as follows:
Falls of Clyde at New Lanark, Scotland
In course of last couple of days the S.W. of Scotland has experienced very heavy rainfall leading to localised flooding. With this in mind drove to New Lanark World Heritage Site to view the Falls of Clyde in full flow. Regrettably, the only still image I took was from a cellphone camera (above) which is of mediocre quality. However, I did take a number of reasonable quality video clips which are provided below and which demonstrate the sheer force and volume of water. As I drove back to Glasgow I followed the Clyde Valley and noted that the river was close to bursting its banks in a number of places. The rain continues as I write this!
