Over fifty years old and still going strong, Twa Gordons in Macduff. Built in 1970 by Macduff Boatbuilding & Engineering in the traditional wooden style of a seiner as Trident BF68. The shelter deck would have been a much later add on.

’Twas Mulga Bill, from Eaglehawk, that caught the
cycling craze;
He turned away the good old horse that
served him many days;
He dressed himself in cycling clothes,
resplendent to be seen;
He hurried off to town and bought a
shiny new machine;
And as he wheeled it through the
door, with air of lordly pride,
The grinning shop assistant
said,‘Excuse me, can you
ride?’
‘See, here, young man,’said Mulga
Bill,‘from Walgett to the sea,
From Conroy’s Gap to Castlereagh,
there’s none can ride like me.
I’m good all round at everything, as
everybody knows,
Although I’m not the one to talk—I hate a man that blows.
But riding is my special gift, my chiefest,sole delight;
Just ask a wild duck can it swim, a wild cat can it fight.
There’s nothing clothed in hair or hide, or built of flesh or steel,
There’s nothing walks or jumps, or runs, on axle, hoof, or wheel,
But what I’ll sit, while hide will hold and girths and straps are tight:
I’ll ride this here two-wheeled concern right straight away at sight.’
’Twas Mulga Bill, from Eaglehawk, that sought his own abode,
That perched above the Dead Man’s Creek, beside the mountain road.
He turned the cycle down the hill and mounted for the fray,
But ere he’d gone a dozen yards it bolted clean away.
It left the track, and through the trees, just like a silver streak,
It whistled down the awful slope, towards the Dead Man’s Creek.
It shaved a stump by half an inch, it dodged a big white-box:
The very walleroos in fright went scrambling up the rocks,
The wombats hiding in their caves dug deeper underground,
As Mulga Bill, as white as chalk,sat tight to every bound.
It struck a stone and gave a spring that cleared a fallen tree,
It raced beside a precipice as close as close could be;
And then as Mulga Bill let out one last despairing shriek
It made a leap of twenty feet into the Dead Man’s Creek.
’Twas Mulga Bill, from Eaglehawk, that slowly swam ashore:
He said,‘I’ve had some narrer shaves and lively rides before;
I’ve rode a wild bull round a yard to win a five pound bet,
But this was the most awful ride that I’ve encountered yet.
I’ll give that two-wheeled outlaw best; it’s shaken all my nerve
To feel it whistle through the air and plunge and buck and swerve.
It’s safe at rest in Dead Man’s Creek, we’ll leave it lying still;
A horse’s back is good enough henceforth for Mulga Bill.’
By Banjo Patterson.

It was sold to Mid American Aerospace in Mar-09 and broken up at Roswell soon after. The registration was cancelled in Sep-09.
...before the day, before the day before Christmas. And I'm rifling through my old photos pining for a new photo shoot. I found a few lost shots from my phone and loads from old shoots in my 'maybe' bin. Well, I've been pruning my older less popular shots and have room to splurge. Love this gown. This is totally a gown. Not a dress. A gown. Feel so special in this one.
As we say here in Scotland! I love how striking these two stones of the Standing Stones of Stenness looked against the blue of the sky. Mainland Orkney.

I have created a Flickr group for photos shot with and of this rare camera: --> Click
Leica M1 (KOOCT), serial number 956752, made in 1959
Leica Super Angulon 21 mm f/3.4 (made by Schneider Kreuznach)
Kodak Portra 160 professional grade colour negative film, exposed at ISO 100
Developed and scanned by www.meinfilmlab.de
I'm putting together a little something and I've never done this in my 19 years SL for lack of motivation, ambition, and probably other things too.
More official details to drop on the weekend...
Rutherford’s Monument commemorates Samuel Rutherford who was Minister in the parish of Anwoth from 1627-1639 and later Professor of Divinity at St Andrew’s university. The monument is a 55 foot high granite obelisk that was erected in 1842. Just to the north there is a smaller monument in the form of a cairn. This commemorates all of the ministers of Anwoth and Girthon parishes up to the year 2000. From Rutherford’s Monument there is a panoramic view over Wigtown Bay and the Fleet estuary.
