Iain MacMillan, the photographer who took the iconic Abbey Road photo, was born in #Dundee in 1938. Here he is (aged 20) at my parents' wedding in Dundee on 5.8.1959 - almost 10 years to the day before he took his most famous photo. #AbbeyRoad50 #AbbeyRoad #TheBeatles #Beatles

A cheering sight for a Monday morning... just a wee laddie in wellies playing with his toy boat at a pond, with the Firth of Clyde in the background... filmed in around 64/65, think the location is #Largs or #Helensburgh. #archives #Scotland #DoonTheWatter #ToyBoats #RiverClyde

River crossings by bus... the South Bridge over the Tay at Perth, then the Auld Brig over the Forth at Stirling... special bonus: the villa in Glasgow Road in Perth in where John Buchan (wrote 'The 39 Steps') was born. #BusPhotos #BusFilms #Scotland #RiverCrossings #writers

A Sunday afternoon visit to the local fleapit to see 'Wind, Tide & Oar'... a 2024 documentary about engineless sailing, which was filmed on a clockwork camera made in the 1960s... think it'll likely be 16mm film, rather than 8mm. #HuwWahl #retro #CineFilm #clockwork #cinema

Bus photos - the X54, Edinburgh to Dundee: a sun-blessed River Tay early this evening, as folk gather for The Human League concert. #BusPhotos #BusFilms #riverscapes #RiverTay #Scotland
