This is Hannah, my younger grand-daughter, and the photograph is entitled "When Hannah puts the hair clasp in herself!"

This is what a new grand-daughter looks like to me ... and it is not a 'let them eat cake' moment. The rest of us were eating the 1st Birthday food!

Full marks for enthusiasm, but I am heading for cover. Gypsy Rose takes on the world.

Gill and I love Oystercatchers. They are such striking birds. This one was photographed on Cretshengan Beach near Kilberry in Argyll in May 2012. My family coat-of-arms has two oystercatchers on it, in profile with much the same stance as here, and our Gallery (sold in March 2011), was named 'The Oystercatcher'.

This photograph from July 2012 is of the view from our home in Kilmartin, Argyll, looking northwards to Carnassarie Castle.

'The castle was built by reforming churchman John Carswell, who was Rector of Kilmartin, Chancellor of the Chapel Royal at Stirling, and later titular Bishop of the Isles. Carswell published the first book to be printed in Scottish Gaelic, a translation of John Knox's Book of Common Order. Construction began in 1565 using masons brought from Stirling. Although the castle was notionally built for Carswell's patron, the Earl of Argyll, he intended it as a personal residence for himself.' (Wikipedia).
