    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.
    Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing. But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

    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...
