Ken Bridge

Day 1 of our Scotland Trip

The Ken Bridge Hotel and Ken Bridge over the River Ken. In 1821 the present bridge was built from granite hewn from a local quarry after the previous bridge was destroyed by a flood in 1811. Alongside the Ken Bridge hotel provides food, ale and fishing. Heaven.

1/365

Well, my first New Year's resolution for 2011 was to create a blog, and the second to have a go at a 365 (more about that later).

This is my first blog - so a bit of a learning curve : ? - here goes!!!

Our New Year usually starts with a walk, and this year, despite the grey skies, we had decided to visit Flint Castle. Despite being only 20 miles away, we had never visited. The castle was locked up due to the "extreme weather", so we had an amble along the foreshore, on the way back to the car, this picture was one of a few taken. I hadn't been that inspired by it, and only when I got home did I spot the shots potential.
