I have discovered the joys of Scottish auctions this week
which has turned up all sorts of things and not just records,
I won a couple of boxes of folk albums of varying quality but
pretty much all in tip top condition. However, when the kind
gentleman from the auction house loaded them into my car
told me to make room for the other stuff I'd won which confused
me as I assumed I'd only won records but it seems part of the
lot included paintings, crockery, mirrors and other stuff I never
wanted.
So the lesson I have learned is that I have to watch the "additions" to lots I bid for as I was left with a car full of some
dead persons belongings that I had to make a trip with straight
to the nearest charity shop, apart from a couple of really nice plant pot holders..jpg)
I found quite a few Scottish singles in the charity shops
(probably no surprises there) but there were some interesting
ones (to me) like this pair celebrating the opening of the Tay road
bridge in August 1966 turned up among the albums.
The blue bags hanging from the railings were full of sweets and
crisps (not poo) and are dotted along the bridge, not sure if these
have been left to try and dissuade folk from leaping off but it's
possible as there are lots of warning signs not to jump.

The legendary rail bridge is in the distance, it was as grey a day as it looks too.
Charity shops and SNP HQ side by side.
A cool minimalist sleeve for a disc by a folk duo released in 1963
and how nice to "come by" a whistling EP by the great Jimmy Shand.
Does it get any more Scottish than these three?
yes it does...
