Sorry. If you still want to use it just credit it to Blueskyscotland. As I write Scottish photo books on kindle that no one seems to buy I need all the publicity I can get :o) <br />Best Wishes.

Loch Ard river trip and Ardlui River Falloch. Both provide enjoyable paddling and are great easy day trips if you haven't done them. No doubt I'll be checking out your back issues when planning future kayak trips as there's not much info on urban rivers at all. Already done the White Cart on Saturday just passed and loved the experience so will post that soon... seen an otter and loads of other wildlife so it must be fairly clean although I was not keen on falling in as it did smell a bit dodgy. <br />Happy adventures and best wishes.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-12127329149821851262016-07-18T07:30:52.730+01:002016-07-18T07:30:52.730+01:00Thanks for the info.

I grew up in Pollok and lived there for many happy years so it was a cycle ride back in time.<br />Just by co-incidence I was checking out the White Cart Water for a kayak trip and you were the only person who had posted anything online about it I could find. <br />If you don't mind I'll add you to my blogging list as you seem to like similar outdoor things... cycling, kayaking, hill-walking etc. I'm always looking for new places to go. blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-5449571415252998762016-07-17T16:57:00.581+01:002016-07-17T16:57:00.581+01:00Hi Carol,

And those areas under the buildings look pretty scary!<br /><br />As for St. George and the dragon-slaying - unfortunately, the tougher standards only apply nowadays to people - other creatures still get a raw deal. What makes me particularly irate is that if someone tortures, maims or kills an animal (especially for fun), is that it's classes as 'vandalism' within the law.

There's a fine line between enjoying going away then posting stuff and it becoming a burden if you do not have much free time left. I noticed that effect on longer holidays when I had hundreds of photos to sift through and it became a daunting task rather than a pleasure to pick the best ones. Think I'll stick to what I've got now as it sounds like a major task you had and I'm not that keen to expand my workload if I can avoid it. blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-45091721023687385282016-07-15T21:28:29.818+01:002016-07-15T21:28:29.818+01:00Great post.

I do it through Google Friend connect so maybe that's why. I also can view your photos full size just fine (just tried to do it and it worked). I have noticed I've not been getting as many comments as usual on my blog so maybe folks have been commenting but they're not getting through. (I do have comment moderation turned on so that might have something to do with it????)

There's no doubt you can do more with WP, but the two platforms don't really like each other. BUT - Google Friend Connect works really well from Blogger. Aspects of Blogger are really very good. I am experimenting with Bloglovin, and that's OK - but for some reason it won't let me leave comments on your blog, and a couple of other Blogger blogs. Most of them work fine. I've just included you in a WP feed - which I don't really understand yet - and I'll see how that goes. Your photos work fine - and are great, incidentally. That was an interesting, and varied, tour. A reflection of the City, which certainly has a great deal of variety; as, I guess, do most cities. It's Friday - time for a pint.Mike@Bit About Britainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741370413282813229noreply@blogger.com
