Brave or mad? I say brave as they are my relos. Good day from Australia, my descendants came from Drummore. Any excuse for even more whiskies.

I used to go there, back during my uni days.

Thanks for this, It's sad the landmarks which are long gone but testament to the area where so much has survived. It really is a great place friendly people who embrace visitors and night skies to die for. My late wife and I discovered Drummore some time in the late noughties and such is the welcome I've continued to return Long may I hope the unwashed masses continue to flock to the highlands. Leave this corner of Scotland to those in the know.

I loved looking at these. Thanks Edward!

RIP Jim, thank you for the memories. You were a real legend and a really lovely man.

Does this happen every year ? This needs preserving !

Some amazing images of the area...

Hi Edward love the video could you let me know the tile of this great piece of music thanks .Kevbo

Nicely done, Would love to have been able to see this in HD. Happy to see that even nearly 6 years on much of the area is unchanged.

Where’s the film sets? All we see are random people🤷🏼‍♀️

Having lived there for the 14 months I did, and watching this video, it brought a few tears to my eyes. I'll be back up one day...take care, Ted :)

The shark pictured a few times in this great collection of pics from the very early 70s, kindly posted by Ted Beck, was caught from the wooden boat in the background at 2.44. It was a Norwegian built Rana, with larch planking, measuring 16'6" x 5'5", and on the evening in question there were a total of 4 people in it. The printed material authored by Clive Sandground, featured a couple of times in the slide, is an interesting blend of fact and fiction. Contrary to the view expressed, it was for example well known that there were shark to be caught in the vicinity of the Mull of Galloway well before the capture of the first one in August 1970, but all prior efforts to hook and get one to the boat had failed, though several had been engaged at length, including one by Bob Hogg (hooked initially by Henry Marczinkowski, who immediately handed the rod over when it was obvious he was hooked into something very large and anti-social) that was likely to have been a Mako - it took to the air on three occasions when being played just off the Snib at the Mull of Galloway. Shown in the photos, amongst others, are several anglers who'd been chasing sharks and other specimens from the mid 60s, including Joe Kontrimas (Oxley Road, Preston), Bryan Hewitt (angling journalist), Roger Reynolds, Bob Hogg and several of his sons.

Nice video of a fantastic place

Wow, Ted, I never saw waves that high when I was in Drummore!

I used to holiday in Clanyard Bay in the 60s when Bella and James were there.

Come on mum !!!!

I always loved seeing Nana Reid on my way back from primary school, sitting on her fold up deck chair on the grass :)

So I gather this ocean activity is not the usual for this area. A bit rough, & water level higher than what is normally seen. Is it the time of year-- storm season? What time of year is it, anyway? I find it kind of exciting. As long as my house stays dry, & far enough away from the water, I could enjoy this weather. Very refreshing!

My Dad's family are from Drummore. I used to visit in the 50's to see my Aunt Nan and Uncle Jack who ran the village shop. My Great Garndfather was David Chalmers and my Grandfather Alexander and then my Dad Tom. Lovely to see these pictures thanks for the efforts. It brings back very happy memories.
