    We are not that far from you at the moment as we are doing a cruise around the Norwegian Fiords to celebrate my wife's upcoming birthday. Taken a few nice photographs but not many of boats worthy of showing compared with you guys!

    This is the view from our balcony on one of the stops.

    Moved along to Fort William along the Neptune Stairway set of locks.

    I walked up to the top and photographed a few boats for everyone.

    We took the train to Glenfinnan to see the old steam train crossing the viaduct a6 km walk/hike. Then we boarded the train to Malliag where we toured them museum where I photographed several model fishing boats called Drifters from the Herring fishing fleets.

    They also had a large SNLI model. I know these are a favourite of many of you.

    Saw one boat, one ship and two models yesterday.

    This solid wood hull model was at our hotel, Lynnfield Hotel and the owner gave me permission to handle it. It needs repair but the model appears to be a steamer with two masts and sails. Name on the bow is Cormorant.

    The sea stack is The Old Man of Hoy famous here on the Orkney Islands. During WWII some Spitfire pilots flew through the gap wing tip to the sky.

    I found a photo in a book of someone doing the stunt. Betcha his flight commander was not too pleased with that pilot!

    It looks like a breakwater, I imagine they get some pretty big seas up there.
