Apparently Sir Walter Scott's favourite view looking out towards the Eildon Hills
A very pleasant spot to eat our sandwiches and do a "quick" 7 minute exposure.
This is my newest heavy metal radio. It was found at the New England Vintage Electronics Club Flea Market in NH. I checked it out today and it works great! The radio receives from 0.54 megacycles to 18.6 megacycles. It was manufactured in August of 1945. The only modifications I notice are the attachment for the power cord and the replacement of the original antenna connector with a modern SO239. It is an AC/DC radio with no power transformer and all 12 tubes in series. The construction is awesome, as expected of Scott. This LRM (Low Radiation Model) is heavily shielded so that the signal put out by the local oscillator cannot be detected by enemy submarines.
Sir Walter Scott, the eminent writer, looks out from his gothic memorial in Princes Street, Edinburgh.
The sculpture, hewn from Carrara marble, was created by Sir John Steell and the monument itself by the self-taught architect George Meikle Kemp. It was inaugurated in 1846, 16 years after Scott’s death. It's one of the most recognisable monuments in the world (see below), and totally synonymous with Edinburgh.

I got to warped tour late and missed all the bands. I was back stage waiting for my friend (from production) to get off work, when I saw this dude sitting alone, next to a dilapidated tent rolling a cigarette. There were like 4 empty seats so I asked if I could join him.
Some one came up to him and handed him a guitar and he just started playing so I asked if I could take his picture because he looked cool. After two hours of hanging out with him and a couple of other guys talking about Jersey, New York, traveling and all sorts of random things. People kept coming up and asking to take pictures of them and with them and some people even took some candid shots. I finally asked them who they were. It turns out they are in the band Reel Big Fish. This is Scott Klopfenstein and Dan Regan is standing on the right.
I'm not going to get into detail about what we all discussed, Scott was a little stand-offish at first and he seems like a private guy. Also, I didn't take any other pictures because I didn't want to bombard them with my camera and fan like behavior. Any way, they were all cool, chill and I had fun hanging with them.

The Steamship Sir Walter Scott has been sailing Loch Katrine since 1900. Named after the Scottish writer whose famous works included the “Lady of the Lake” poem (set on Loch Katrine), it was built in sections in Dumbarton. The sections were then floated on barges up Loch Lomond to Inversnaid where they were offloaded and then dragged up a steep hill to Loch Katrine by teams of horses. The ship was then finally assembled on the shores of Loch Katrine and launched into the water at Stronachlachan £500,000 is now needed to restore the much loved historic steamship.

Scott Air Force Base (IATA: BLV, ICAO: KBLV, FAA LID: BLV) is a United States Air Force base in St. Clair County, Illinois, near Belleville and O'Fallon, 17 miles east-southeast of downtown St. Louis. Scott Field was one of thirty-two Air Service training camps established after the United States entered World War I in April 1917. It is headquarters of Air Mobility Command (AMC), and is also the headquarters of the U.S. Transportation Command, a Unified Combatant Command that coordinates transportation across all the services.
The base is operated by the 375th Air Mobility Wing (375 AMW) and is also home to the Air Force Reserve Command's 932d Airlift Wing (932 AW) and the Illinois Air National Guard's 126th Air Refueling Wing (126 ARW), the latter two units being operationally gained by AMC.
The base currently employs 13,000 people, 5,100 civilians with 5,500 active-duty Air Force, and an additional 2,400 Air National Guard and Reserve personnel. It was announced in June 2014 that two new cybersecurity squadrons will be added to the three currently on base.
Its airfield is also used by civilian aircraft, with civilian operations at the base referring to the facility as MidAmerica St. Louis Airport. MidAmerica has operated as a Joint Use Airport since beginning operations in November 1997. Allegiant Air, the only commercial airline with scheduled flights at the airport, pulled out of the airport on January 3, 2009, but now has multiple nonstop destinations.

Following the death of Sir Walter Scott on 21st september 1832 there was a widespread feeling in Edinburgh that a monument should be erected to his memory, and the initial decision to proceed was taken at a public meeting on 5th October. A competition was declared in order to select a design for the monument. The competition was won by George Miekle Kemp, a working joiner who had attained recognition as an accomplished draughtsman, especially through his drawings of Melrose Abbey and Glasgow Cathederal. In 1838 Kemp was awarded the contract to build the monument.
At the same time John Steell, later Sir John and H.M. Sculptor for Scotland, had been declared winner of a competition to select the sculptor of the statue of Sir Walter Scott to be included in the monument. In the autumn of 1844 the last stone was placed in the pinnacle by Kemp's young son, Thomas. The monument including the statue was officially inaugurated on 15th August 1846.
The Scott Monument is 200 ft. 6in high and 55ft. square at the base; the highest gallery is reached by climbing a total of 287 steps. It is constructed of Binnie stone, taken from shale workings near Linlithgow; this stone contains natural oils which are said to aid its preservation. Sir John Steell's statue of Sir Walter Scott is executed in Carrara marble and is more than double life-size.
The monument has 64 niches, in each of which, in accordance with the original design, a statuette has been placed. Several of these were contributed at the time of the original inauguration, and a movement instigated by James Ballantyne in 1870 brought the total to 32. The remainder were provided as a result of a motion placed before the town Council by Bailie Thomas Hall in 1881. All the statuettes represent characters from the works of Sir Walter Scott.
