Gabrielle is here for a week from Nuremberg in Germany which is Glasgow's twin city.

Here we take a break from watching the salmon leaping the cobble cauld. At this point there is a dam at the entrance to an old mill lade which the salmon leap at this time of year on the way upriver for spawning.

Further upriver the autumn leaves are falling in the park.
I am wearing my USA Kilts semi-trad in Hunting MacLeod tartan.

Still mild enough for the last of the midges to be out yet cold enough to need to huddle together!

Gabrielle admires the statue of Jimmy Guthrie, motor cycle rider from Hawick who was killed at the German Grand Prix in 1937.

Kilts and red haired lassies - I recall a thread a few years back about how kilt wearing men and red-haired lassies seem to be drawn to one another.

That's all folks!
