Sinclair Inlet is an arm of Puget Sound in Kitsap County, Washington, USA. It is the southwestern extension of Port Orchard, and it touches the shores of three of Kitsap County's four incorporated cities: Bremerton, Bainbridge Island, and Port Orchard. It is connected to Dyes Inlet by the Port Washington Narrows and to Puget Sound by Rich Passage. It was named by United States Navy explorer Charles Wilkes for George T. Sinclair, acting master of one of his ship's crews.

The Sinclair Castle, aka Castle Sinclair Girnigoe, is located on the east coast of Caithness, Scotland. Built in the late 1400s or early 1500s, it is considered to be one of the earliest seats of Clan Sinclair. More info on the castle can be found at www.castlesinclairgirnigoe.org/index.html
Sinclair Community College’s founder, David A. Sinclair, was part of Clan Sinclair. Several Sinclair employees, including the college’s current president Steven Johnson, have visited the castle during a trip to Scotland.
This photo was taken by a Sinclair employee during a recent trip to Scotland.
I always liked the Googie-style architecture at these service stations. This one's in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, at 26th and Kipling. Circa 1990.

My mid 1960's Sinclair bagpipes as I've known them since my Mom and Dad bought them in the late 60's.
This is an neat example of some of the promotions of the time.....by purchasing gas at Sinclair (Remember them???) stations, one could win cash, a Chevy Camaro, or even one of those new fangled transistor radios, & "among other prizes"!!!!
Sinclair Refining may be gone, but Dino, their iconic mascot lives eternally in logo heaven!
The Tall Sign Was Added By Sinclair In The Late 1960's, When The Station Was Built. The Original Logo Survived All The Way Until Circa 2010. Then, A Newer Square-Shaped Sinclair Logo Replaced The Previous One At That Time. Then In Early 2019, A Storm Knocked Out And Destroyed The Logo Of The Sign. Since 2019, There Unfortunately Was No Logo On The Sign.
The Station Has Always Been A Sinclair And Still Survives As One To This Day!
They Also Have Sinclair Gifts Inside The Store!

This 1985 Sinclair C5 (if you've never heard of it, Wikipedia it - and you still won't believe it!) was bought from a Cornish junk shop in 1992 just before the launch of UK local radio station, Pirate FM102. It was liveried as one of the fleet of radio station cars as a joke played on one of the station DJs.
