You might have noticed my fondness for classic motorcycles… This beautiful 1943 BSA M20 was photographed at one of the local ‘mustn’t miss’ events, the annual Classic Motorcycle Day at Crich Tramway Village in Derbyshire.

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

19 years ago it was bustling port of Mallaig in the Highlands of Scotland.

The Caledonian MacBrayne ferry MV Coruisk (Coir’ Uisg’) (named after Loch Coruisk in the heart of the Cuillin of Skye) was plying its trade between Mallaig and Armadale on the Isle of Skye. It was built by Appledore Shipbuilders of Bideford in Devon and launched on 3 May 2003.

The fishing vessel AMETHYST (BA.123) was undergoing a repaint when photographed, she was/is a 14m long wooden stern trawler built by Macduff Boatbuilding & Engineering Co in 1976 and her first owners were George Ritchie & George W. West of Gardenstown near Banff.
