Very happy to come across this clip of George. He was a legend. The party fishing that week was that of Mr William Murray who if I remember correctly was a retired solicitor from the Glasgow area. Mr Murray is briefly featured sitting on the bench, with myself seated on the ground. Other members of the party I remember were, William Bowie, seated on the bench talking to the lady and Sir Robin Mcpherson on the far bank fishing with George. It was great time and and an honour to have known George and having been able to fish with him and listen to his stories. He was a true gentleman. They dont make them like that anymore. When George passed away we uplifted a large stone from the Junction Pool which George used to sit on and placed it at the head of Michaels Cast, a run George liked to fish and named after him. There was a plaque put on it in his memory. I would like to think its still there.

In June, 2022 a 12 year old set fire to the hiouse which had to be demolished. By that time the river had reached the frront of the house. The river has taken out most of the trees upostream of the house and is slowly eroding westwards behind what was Ross House. Further footage of the area and Garmouth along with Kingston beach can be found by sesrching KZbin for ICC Kingstaon and ICC Garmouth and Kingston. The Speymouth Environmmental Partnership has been formed to rasie money to guide the river back to its pre 2000 course. If not done Lower Grmouth is in in severe danger of being washed away by the river. 14.03.2023

Brilliant, I stay in house next to clocktower and great seeing picture of it being built

Hi--thanks for sharing this. My great-grand-parents and their children lived here. An O/S 1870 map names the location "Mills of Garmouth." An O/S 1977 map says "Ross House." The location has a history of fires and flooding. My research describes the location: Meal mill and mill croft - 1848. Flour mill. Woolen manufactory, weaving house, warehouse (fire 1861). Farm steading - Queenshaugh (fire 1900). Then rebuilt again. I was in the house once in the 1990s.

I kayaked down past yesterday and dont think it will be standing long

2022, the house bricks are fallen off the closest side to the river

It’s only a couple metres away from the bank of the river now maybe less as I went to see it yesterday, will probably be knocked down soon I reckon as they won’t let it fall in the river, just my guess though

Amazing. Always wondered what life in Lochinver looked like back in the day.

Sorry about the typo Below, I meant , “and now of course we have fish farms.....”

It’s really quiet surprising anyone is surprised there were and still are no fish, they were hunted to a extinction , masses and masses of coastal nets, drift nets at sea, nets in the lower river. And then I have to say as an angler myself , far t9 much rod pressure , and until quiet recently everything was killed. Before the Second World War few people fished for salmon, by the 1960s and 1970s beat were split up and more and more fishers came as there was more money about. The sport went from a gentleman’s pursuit, or the pastime of a few people of modest means to far more anglers. And now of course we have fish far,s and climate change (I am not sure about the latter contribution but I am told it’s an issue). On a personal note, I don’t like catch and release, it knackers the fish and if there are not enough to take a few I think we should stop fishing them. I won’t be popular with other anglers for saying that.

Hey our Scotland amazing hey like something out a story book Scotland absolutely beautiful

I live hear

That's my hours

well the dornoch firth is just as bad as anywhere else,,

Thank you for posting. When life was more relaxing before the introduction of constant connectivity.

I played there, as a wee loon.

My Mum came to dinner this evening and I was trying to explain to her how amazing KZbin is as a resource. Purely as an example of how good it is I typed in Aberlour orphanage, imagine her reaction on her seeing herself captured in a photograph from all those years ago, a special Mum/Son moment. Middle girl at 21:30 Thank you GlenAffaric :)

Brings back may happy memories as well some sad. The only home I had as a child and youth. Kindest regards, David

My father George Wallace Ross his brother Christopher Ross and their sister Jan McAulay Ross were brought up in Aberlour Orphanage after their Mother died in 1924 she was 36 years old. They were at the orphanage for eight years before moving close to Keith to live on a farm with Peter McCandy at Boharm. This drone photography gives me an inset into the area where they spent their childhood. I hope to visit the area this year 2017 and see the beautiful landscape that these scenes show us all. I was brought up in Montgarrie in Aberdeenshire and love my Scottish roots. I have left the UK and live in Thailand now another beautiful country.

Quite brilliant, where I grew up went to school lived and worked and even played truant under the steps at Abelour House, back in the 40s and 50s even 60s, thank you for the memories

Loved it. Thank you so much for sharing. Happy memories!

Could I Take A screenshot of Aberlour and use it on Facebook? would you like recognition? thanks

Hi There, Have still all the gear but am not flying anymore. I had a stroke so that has wound me back a bit. The motor I used was a J. Perkins, 5510350, JP POWER SPEED, 660 Motor. Regards, Duncan.

Hi there, Word Reet, I`m afraid that the Seagull and all my kit is sitting in my shed and has been for a couple of years. I have had another stroke. It is just like having my brains filing cabinet kicked over and having to re-set everything. Annoying or what? You are brave! This is my third Seagull! Video taker, John also has a Seagull. We had a mid air collision and trashed both!! You would not believe it was possible. Formation is fun but expensive! I now have some great balsa skills. Enjoy.

I like the vintage video style. :¬) I shall fly my Easy Pigeon for the first time on Sunday. But I reckon it has the same fuselage as the Seagull. Hmm, thinking I could buy the Seag's wings and have 2 gilders for almost the price of one.

ok thanks

i have this this glider with spektrum internals, i get 2 kilometres +

@GlenAffaric no iam going fpv mate

@8995Ryan You are forgetting the MAJOR problem......eyesight !!!!

@GlenAffaric thanks i am just wondering because i have a jet and it dose 1000m and i wanted to now if i should put the electronics from it in to the seagull

@8995Ryan Difficult one........At a guess, I have never flown it over 200 Mtrs. radius.

when you first buy one whats the over all distance it can go from the transmitter

a bit hard ^^

lol thats cool, looks like one was trying to get a closer look.
