I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SCOT_040403_018.JPG: This wedding was going on within the grounds of an abandoned church
2. SCOT_040403_043.JPG: The Atholl Memorial Fountain. The Fountain was funded by public subscription and built in 1866 in memory of George Augustus Frederick John 6th Duke of Atholl. The Duke had introduced a piped water supply to Dunkeld, prior to which all water had to be drawn from the River Tay -- hence all the wynds [alleys] leading to the water. The Fountain was designed by C.S. Robertson and erected on the site of the Market Cross. Several changes are apparent over the years, but there is fine detail in the carvings, which include native animals and birds. Masonic symbols are also incorporated -- the 6th Duke was Grand Master Mason of Scotland from 1845 until his dead in 1864. The Atholl Family The Atholl family has had a long and significant connection with the Dunkeld area and its people. After the Battle of Dunkeld (1689), much of Dunkeld was rebuilt and successive Dukes gradually acquired many of the properties during the 18th and 19th centuries. Stanley Hill, now a park, was landscaped by the 2nd Duke in 1730. Duchess Anne, widow of the 6th Duke, founded a girls' school in 1854 and the building still bears her name. The 8th Duke was the first President of the National Trust of Scotland and his wife, Katharine, Scotland's first woman MP, used her parliamentary salary to renovate some of the Dunkeld houses. The Little Houses at the Cross and Cathedral Street were mostly given to the Trust by Atholl Estates between 1954 and 1961. These near-derelict properties were restored by the Trust, and others by the Local Authority to provide homes for local people, as well as re-created the 17th-century approach to the magnificent setting of the Cathedral of St. Columbia. Ownership of the Fountain was publicly transferred to The National Trust for Scotland in 1991 in a ceremony conducted by the 10th Duke of Atholl, attended by his Atholl Highlanders. The Duke had a long association with the Trust and was its President at the time of his death. The Trust restored the fountain and its water supply (not drinking quality) with generous assistance...
3. SCOT_040403_070.JPG: Notice the sign on the building identifies it as having been built in 1510.
4. SCOT_040403_123.JPG: This is the Pitlochry Power Station. Coming from a country where you're not allowed to come near a dam, it was refreshing to be able to walk over one, see the fish steps on one side, and actually see the generating equipment inside the building.
5. SCOT_040403_159.JPG: This lamb had just been born. If you look closely at some of the pictures, you'll see the umbilical cord still hanging from the mother.
6. SCOT_040403_232.JPG: This is called Queen's View. Out here is Loch Tummel. The view itself was made famous by Queen Victoria's visit in 1866 although a sign says it was probably named for Queen Isabella, wife of Robert the Bruce.
7. SCOT_040403_239.JPG: Margot Lebow and our driver from Glen Eagles
8. SCOT_040403_268.JPG: This marker indicates: "Maggie Wall burnt here 1657 as a witch."
9. SCOT_040403_315.JPG: This mansion is owned by the family that owns most of the land around Auchterarder.
10. SCOT_040403_325.JPG: Bruce Guthrie and our driver from Glen Eagles

(Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
