Minerva will be in Invergordon on wed with a much bigger ship, The Grand Princess, hopefully will be able to get some pics of them together.

grumpyhippo,

Some excellent photographs, I especially like the second one of the Hebridean Princess.

Tugmistress,

Particularly like the "Bum View" and the photograph of the photograph with both ships in, did you take this from the road with a long lens?

Hi,
I took the 'leaving' shots from the road at the top of the steps into Scrabster village with the 70-300mm lens :)

Cool - uninteresting fact of hte day was that my sister worked on The Grand Princess some years ago as a Beauty Therapist! She hated it and didn't last long...
