BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS

Hi, you are “face to face with Shell”.

I have made up this page to show you that there is so much beauty all around us.  I will probably keep adding to this page as time goes on.

YOU CAN HAVE A LIFE AFTER BURNS/DISFIGUREMENT

The first short video is taken from Plean Country Park and afterwards, there are another two short videos that were taken a while back.

There are also a few photos from Plean Country Park.

I’ve added another video below.  We took a road trip after COVID restrictions were lifted (May 2021). There are also a couple of photographs of the Forth Bridge. 

We then took another trip to Oban (July 2021) a beautiful town on the west coast of Scotland (there are a few photos of that trip as well).

So, sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Here is the first video:

And the other two, taken a while back:

 

Below are some photos of the beautiful Plean Country Park in the snow:

Chris and I took a trip to Falkland (November 2021) please have a look at the video below:

 

In December 2021/January 2022, Chris and I went away for a break over Hogmanay (which is what us Scots call New Year’s Eve).

I wanted to share the beautiful scenery with you and post some photographs; please see the video and photographs below:

I hope you enjoyed the videos and photographs, and that they have given you some pleasure, especially if you are currently isolating or feel that you don’t want to/can’t go out at this time, for whatever reason.

Below is a short video that was taken in 2023, Chris took me away to a beautiful inn called the “Lion and Unicorn”, Thornhill, near Stirling for my birthday.  Please take a look at the video and photographs below:

 

Below is another short video where I speak of another beautiful inn that Chris and I visited for a weekend in early 2023; the “Smiddy Haugh” in the village of Aberuthven, near Auchterarder.  Please have a look at the video and photographs below:

 

Please have look below at another video where we had a great weekend away at Kinross (early 2023) which is very near Loch Leven, where Mary, Queen of Scots was imprisioned (and a couple of photos):

 

At the beginning of the summer (2023) Chris and I visited the beautiful Horse and Hound Country Inn, Boncaster Bridge, near Hawick in the Scottish Borders.  We also had a quick look around Jedburgh.  Please have a look at the video below:

A few weeks after visiting Jedbrugh, we visited The Anchor Inn, Garelochead and then drove to Arrochar, which is on the shores of Loch Long.  Please have a look at the video below:
