Hi Jill - many thanks for the G/B entry, I came over and looked here, I need to look over more of your albums! Here, the shots are wonderful, and #17, the cairn, was VERY interesting. I've begun to see these along streambeds, and there are a few refs in my albums, and a picture of friend and myself making our own in my 'Potpourri' album. Look forward to checking out many of your pictures, take care! -claudia/New York

Ooops,in my haste to get to the wildlife i missed this one!!Another super & very informative album.Again i can't pick favourites,so a few comments.Unathorised vehicles would struggle to enter those BT Premises!LOL.I love the Eider Ducks,we saw lots of them in Northumberland.It took me a few seconds to find the Rock Pippit!he Nunnery ruins with the flowers are beautiful;but i don't think i would care to be on The Street of the Dead at night!!Very clever of you to book the meal & get the Abbey to yourselves,much easier to get some good photos :0)I will view the next instalment later.Really enjoying the trip so far.Angela.

I couldn't work out whether you had added any pics or not to this album so had another look through it all anyway. And believe it or not it all flowed through with no hang ups. Could it be that Webshots have finally sorted their problems? Hugs Peter

G'day Jill and this - the third album in your Scottish holiday series - is a real belter. I love it. You were not deterred by the dull, cloudy conditions and have produced an album that tells a wonderful story. Excellent work. Hugs Peter

Hi Jill, you have put all the phots in your album perfectly, and a beautiful one it is. We have not been that far, looks wonderful. Best wishes. Ray and Eileen.

Jill ... this is a wonderful album. I particularly enjoyed the boat shot in #21, but there are so many good ones here. It was an introduction (for me) to Iona, in my exploration of the British Isles. Thank you. ... Judy / FL

Hi Jill,I really enjoyed seeing Iona again courtesy of your lens,even as a youngster I could appreciate the tranquility on the island and it's steeped in so much history.I appreciated your descriptions with each image and the whole album tells the story of your visit so well,I must say I'd forgotten they had a little golf course on the island and I'm pleased you included it in a couple of the photos.The more I look at your holiday photos I get an increasing urge to go to the Oban area at the first opportunity,till then I'll just keep enjoying your albums of it,Regards,Rod.
