Clackmannan in the Cold
This was a typically unpredictable morning. With a high pressure system in charge giving cold, frost and fog which had descended over Clackmannan meaning views were very peek-a-boo minute to minute. These photographs were taken from Kings Seat Hill upon which the parish of Clackmannan nestles.
It offers great views into Fife in the East, Ochils and Perthshire in the north, Stirling east and Falkirk to the south. The Bruce family settled and built one of the County of Clackmannanshire’s five towers to project their power.

Steam Train Scotland
The new Stirling-Alloa-Kincardine railway reopened as many enjoyed Steam Train Scotland. Traditional coaches were pulled by “The Great Marquess” No 61994 on inaugural trips between Alloa and Stirling on 15th May. As the train passed by Causewayhead in Stirling I photographed the engine passing the Wallace Monument in the background. There are passionate train enthusiasts. The area was busy with anxious people waiting for the train to pass.
