The guest house where we stayed on that occasion.I wrote to the daughter, Susan, for several years until we lost touch.
I wonder where she is now?

I love this castle and the bridge. The contrast of the older photos with the more recent nicely protrays the area. Thank you for sharing this lovely collection of memories.
Thank you so much Shirley!
What wonderful, priceless shots! Thanks for sharing...really!
Thanks BPOTW!
Jane, if you took a photo of that castle in May of 1968, I WAS THERE IN DUNOON, KILMUN at the same time! How amazing. Hey, I love the live webcams to Dunoon. Bells is still there!! Love, LOVE, love all your blogs!
I am aching to return to Dunoon! To my "Bonny Scotland'!
Thanks again Melinda!! Yes - amazing we were both in the same area all those years ago!! I'm aching to go back too...we'll be there for two weeks in May, so not long to wait...
Jane, your photos, old and new are just breathtaking. When I look at them I feel like I was back in Scotland again. Love the color of the page, the old photos and YOUR blogs!!
Thanks a lot for this!! I was inspired to change the colours of my blogs after seeing yours!! My blogs aren't as full or informative as yours, they are mostly just photos!
