Old Travel Blog Photograph King's Cave Blackwaterfoot Isle Of Arran Scotland
Old travel Blog photograph of women on a coastal walk visiting the King's Cave by Blackwaterfoot, Island of Arran, Scotland. King's Cave is one of several locations in which Robert the Bruce is said to have had his famed encounter with a spider. The King's Cave is one of several in a sandstone cliff. It is large and irregular, about 120 by 30 fee. Towards the East end it is divided by a buttress of rock facing the cave, behind which it contracts to a point. The narrow part of the cave thus consists of two passages of aisles, separated by the buttress of rock. On the side of the buttress, at the entrance of the North " aisle ", is a row of small holes cut in the stone in a sloping line, and on both sides, towards the point, is a row of similar holes, suggesting they may have been the sockets of small bars of wood. Similar holes occur in the other " aisle " at the same height, and at the outside of the cave, on the South side, is a row of larger holes, running towards the roof, without corresponding holes on the opposite side. There are figures of horses in the South " aisle " pretty far in; and on the wall of that side of the cave, opposite to the buttress, are deer and concentric circles cup and ring marks.

Old Travel Blog Photograph Esplanade Dumbarton Scotland
Old travel Blog photograph of the Esplanade in Dumbarton, Scotland. Dumbarton is 15 miles from Glasgow. An esplanade or promenade is a long, open, level area, usually next to a river or large body of water, where people may walk. The historical definition of esplanade was a large, open, level area outside fortress or city walls to provide clear fields of fire for the fortress's guns. In modern usage the space allows people to walk for recreational purposes; esplanades are often on sea fronts, and allow walking whatever the state of the tide, without having to walk on the beach. Esplanades became popular in Victorian times when it was fashionable to visit seaside resorts.

Tour Scotland Travel Video Easter Monday Evening Drive Around The City Centre Of Perth Perthshire
Tour Scotland Easter Monday evening travel video of drive around the city centre on visit to the Fair City of Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. Dropping tour guests off at the movies at 6 Murray Street. Opened in 1933 for a local company, the Playhouse in Perth became the flagship cinema for the Inverness-based Caledonian Associated Cinemas, when that chain was formed in 1935. The Playhouse, like many cinemas of the time, was booked from Glasgow by Alexander B King. The architect was Alex Cattenach Junior., who worked from the Kingussie based practice started by his father, Alex Senior. The Playhouse makes good use of the broad thoroughfare on which it is located in Perth city centre with a bold, unashamedly modern design. Sleet and rain on the journey this evening.
