One for the ferry interest group....

A ferry with 'Caledonian MacBrayne' written on its side moves through calm waters. The deck is visible with lifeboats and railings. Hills and a cloudy sky form the backdrop.

I recently had several months worth of auction lots shipped, and last night I finally had time to open them. It has, unfortunately, been a crazy couple of months.

This is the first batch.

First up are five Ardbeg bottlings - the original 17 year (not the recent re-release), Traigh Bhan release 02, the Twenty One, Twenty Something 22yr, and Twenty Something 23yr.

A run of nice Single Grain bottlings from Clan Denny - 1997 20yr Invergordon, 1998 25yr Cambus, 1974 35yr North of Scotland, 1975 36yr Cambus, 1965 45yr Dumbarton, 1965 45yr Girvan, 1965 45yr Caledonian, and 1963 48yr Cambus.

And a 2006 bottling of Compass Box Hedonism. That's one I was missing from the lineup.

Fascinating #map I'm interested to see a few of the major internal waterways evident too.

The #Caledonian Canal gives the impression that half of #Scotland is a different isle!

a day of blue skies and sunshine with a few fluffy clouds drifting by on a slight cooling breeze was ideal for a walk along the side of the Caledonian Canal, a broad waterway that cuts across Scotland. There are a number of boats moored up on the right, their reflection gently shimmering in the almost calm waters.

The Caledonian Sleeper rail service is to be nationalised later this year.

The move comes after ministers decided last year to terminate Serco's contract to run the service seven years early.

The out-sourcing company will stop operating the cross-border rail service when its contract expires in June.

Transport Minister Jenny Gilruth said an arm's length company of the government would take over the franchise on 25 June.

Here we see a #Caledonian Railway advert in early April 1913, advertising excursions to the #England-#Scotland #football match of 5th April. I am not sure of the location (likely Princes Street), but it was described as being 'mammoth', at 42ft wide and 10.5ft tall.

Scotland won the match, 1-0.
