Today’s question; where am I? I’ve posted two photographs from the place in Europe where I’m staying at the moment. The only clue I’ll give is that it is no longer in Luxembourg.

Apologies for the delays in posting, but my download connection from my camera to my laptop was playing up.

From Belgium we drove down to Luxembourg {the Country} to visit my sister. The following photographs were taken in Luxembourg City in Luxembourg. {You need to be specific as there is a province of Belgium called Luxembourg which borders the Country – can be very confusing}

Where we went from and to.

Apologies for missing yesterday evening, but we were aboard this vessel and it doesn’t have internet access.

Went out for lunch today to the Alloway Inn, which used to be the Ivy House, which used to be the North Park House Hotel. The first photograph shows it from a distance over the allotments. This is the new, since the building was put up about 10 years ago.

At a slightly different angle over the same allotments, we see Bellisle Hotel, which started life as Bellisle House in the early 1800s. This is the old.

I thought I’d give you a slightly closer view of Alloway Inn.

It’s been another fairly ‘yucky’ day here again, so I’ve posted a photo of Arran taken from the cliff-top walk at Culzean a couple of days ago. Once again, the mysterious Isle haunts me!

The weather is back to it’s its normal dreich way, so here’s another couple of photos from Culzean. {Blame the hour of the post for the error}

The first was very close to the fountain, the second is on the cliff-top walk, where the trees tend to be distorted during growth by the wind.

A far better day today and we yomped around the grounds of Culzean (pronounced Cullaine) Castle which was looking good. The first photograph is from the North and the second of the fountain in full flow.

From an upstairs window, the bush at the front shows that Autumn is upon us. If only we were having ‘Bristolwood’ weather.

This photo is from inside Ayr’s Carnegie Library, one of many which pay tribute to Andrew Carnegie’s generosity in funding libraries in Scotland. Scotland gave the USA Andrew Carnegie; He gave us US dollars (amongst other things!)

This is part of the roof in one of the reading rooms which is used for meetings by Central Ayrshire Local Group of the RSPB. It may be an old building,but it’s been well maintained and sympathetically adjusted to meet the modern library changing needs. It is nice to see the retention of older buildings for their original purpose is not totally lost.
