A slightly delayed Friday photo, things are a little hectic just now with preparations for the launch later this month of the National Strategy for Business Archives in Scotland.
This is one of a series of photos I scanned in before Christmas to use for a leaflet about business archives in Scotland. This is an image of the William Beardmore & Co. works.
Festive greetings. Today's photo is of the Invergordan Excursion Coach taking a bunch of sailors somewhere exciting I hope. It comes from Bill's miscellaneous collection of photographs.
The Ballast Trust will be closed now until 5th January - Merry Christmas.
A while back I got a request via our flickr pages to use an image from the Dan McDonald collection. The request came from Danny at Queensferry Passage website. This website features lots of interesting information and images about the four ferries who worked the route.
The image in questions was of the Robert the Bruce ferry, which I've featured on this blog before and it now appears in this gallery.
Thanks to Danny for finding us and the nice credit to Dan McDonald and the Ballast Trust.
