Latest updates to the web site (URL at the end of this text) include:

*** NEW COOLSCAN SECTION ***
Lothian and surrounding areas. Not including all-digital photos and
scanned prints. All photographed in the late 1970s.

Auchendinny  647 x 768  132K   The village near Milton Bridge near
Penicuik. 

Crighton Castle  519 x 768  124K  Not far from Pathhead on the A68
road south of Edinburgh. I think I originally did a sepia-toned print
of this, in which the castle stonework resembled a bar of chocolate.

Galashiels  665 x 768  123K  The winter of 1978/9 has left its mark in
the form of snow-drifts along the dry-stone dykes on the hillside.

Viaduct 1  800 x 600  66K  There used to be a railway in the Borders
and this disused viaduct carried trains across the River Tweed between
Earlston and Newtown St Boswells.

Viaduct 2  800 x 600  119K  This is how it looks closer up, near the
back road to Melrose.

Trees Snow  1024 x 688  215K  or  800 x 538  103K
This line of trees beside the A701 created amazing shadows on the
immaculate white snow. Taken in the winter of 1978/9 with a 24mm lens.

Calmer Soutra  1024 x 768  158K  or  800 x 600  87K
Soutra Hill on the A68 driving south towards Oxton. Same winter as the
previous picture. The morning sunshine is melting the snow. A calmer
day, eh?

Leader  514 x 768  178K  That's pronounced as in lead - the metal. I
called this picture of trees that because I vaguely remember it being
beside the Leader Water, a tributary of the River Tweed, I believe. 


*** Additions to the Coolscan Edinburgh City Centre section ***

Blair Street  1024 x 682  197K  Waverley Cameron and their enamelled
signs advertising pens. There was also a metal merchant nearby, if
memory serves correctly... 

Niddry Street  800 x 723  162K  To the left, behind the hoarding, is
the vacant site now occupied by a hotel


*** New in the Coolscan Edinburgh Main section ***

Gilmerton Rd  800 x 600  104K  A Monkey Puzzle tree and recent snow
give this view of a bungalow its strange appearance. 


*** New in the Coolscan Leith section ***

Buttercup  640 x 480  36K  The Buttercup Dairy Company in or near
Manderston Street. Not a particularly stunning photograph - only
really here for historical interest. 

Manderston St  1024 x 768  176K  This is how it used to look, back in
1978. That's Leith Walk along at the end of the road. The arches were
part of the railway, which crossed Leith Walk on the bridge adjacent
to Jane Street.

Conservatives  1024 x 686  135K  They actually had a political
presence in Leith at this time, and here's a photo of their premises,
squeezed in between a model shop, a pub and a pawnbrokers. 


*** New in the Coolscan Various section ***
   
Waltzers  800 x 600  106K  That was my daughter, son and first wife in
that fairground waltzer. I can't remember the exposure I used - but it
captured the movement OK.

Self Bulb  800 x 600  74K  Blatant plagiarism here - but at least I
paid homage to Escher by including one of his pictures in the
reflection. 

Snow Shadows  1024 x 768  183K  The railings near the east end of
Braid Hills Road cast interesting shadows on the drifted snow.
Photographed in the winter of 1978/9. 

Six Ladies  1024 x 494  145K  It was a warm day and this seat at the
bottom of The Mound provided welcome rest for these women.  
   
   
That's the new stuff, uploaded today Sunday 25th July. The web site
has grown to 44MB, virtually all of it 100% free, original
photographs. Coming soon, all-digital colour photos of the Avon
Aqueduct between Polmont and Linlithgow.

regards, Dave.
