Looks like you had a good day Alex.

Thanks for sharing the photos.

Thanks for the photos, Alex. I particularly liked the border shots as someone here had the temerity to imply Scotland was not a country in its own right a little while ago.

Great photos as always Alex, and congratulations to John and Yvonne on the Anniversary.

Very enjoyable, Alex. Somehow the border delineations interest me more than the same thing would w/o it being a border. Maybe it's the idea that there's no difference one side or the other except that which man has assigned to it.

Beautiful landscape shots. May I ask what the ceremony about the "colors" was about?

May I ask what the ceremony about the "colors" was about?

The colours - Legion Colours = the flag of the local brnach of the British Legion.
Queen's Colours = The Union Jack
Both become faded and tattered through time and use and the ceremony was to retire or lay up the old colours into the care of the Church and to have the new colours dedicated by the Minister.
