The tower of Carriden Church seen through one of the windows of the ruin of Carriden Old Church. The Church and ruin are at Carriden, Bon’ess, Falkirk District, Scotland. Carriden Old Church was built in 1766 to replace the medieval church adjacent to Carriden House. It is T-shaped in plan and finished in simple Georgian style. An aedicule was attached to the north side of the building in 1771 to protect the monument to Sir William Maxwell of Carriden. A tower with a spire and a session house were added around 1840. When the new church was opened in 1909 the roof was taken off the old one and it is now a picturesque ruin. Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Photomatix.

We were having a look at the Church and ruin at Carriden, Bon’ess, Falkirk District, Scotland, when I took 3 bracketed shots of this bush. It really did not look as red as it does in the photograph, but when I ran it through Photmatix, this is what popped out. I rather like it, I hope you do to.

LNER D49 Class 4-4-0 No.246 Morayshire. Shown here at Bo’ness, properly Borrowstounness, a town in the Falkirk council area of Scotland, lying on a hillside on the south bank of the Firth of Forth. Prior to 1975 it was in the former county of West Lothian. / Morayshire was designed by Gresley and built at the LNER Darlington Works in 1928, Morayshire is the only surviving member of 76 ‘Shires’. As British Railways No.62712 Morayshire continued in service until 1961 and was then used as a stationary boiler at Slateford Laundry until 1964. The locomotive was subsequently donated to the Royal Scottish Museum. It was restored at Inverurie Works, Dalmeny and the SRPS Falkirk Depot. In 1975 Morayshire featured in the Stockton & Darlington Railway 150th Anniversary at Shildon and hauled several main-line excursions until 1981. A major overhaul of Morayshire has recently been undertaken at Bo’ness and it now regularly carries passengers up and down on the Bo’ness & Kinneil Railway from Bo’ness Station to Birkhill. The Scottish Railway Preservation Society operates the Bo’ness & Kinneil Railway, which has been developed since 1979 on a green-field site by the south shore of the Firth of Forth. Several historic buildings have been obtained and re-erected to provide a traditional railway setting. Bo’ness station opened in 1981. The line was extended to Kinneil in 1987 and to Birkhill in 1989. The passenger service now operates to Birkhill, where the fireclay mine is open to the public.

Kinneil House in Bo’ness, properly Borrowstounness, a town in the Falkirk council area of Scotland. The house was one of the homes of the Hamilton family. The House itself began life as a large 15th century fortified tower house. In the mid-16th century a ‘palace’ was built next to the tower to provide more elegant living quarters for the family. This building contains several murals on religious subjects thought to be amongst the finest surviving examples in Scotland. Most of the house is just a shell as they were in the process of pulling it down when the murals were discovered. The roof has since been replaced, but the floors are missing in the main part of the house. Finally, in the late 17th century, under the influence of the Duchess Anne Hamilton, two pavilions were created one of which linked the old tower to the ‘palace’. In the late 18th century, Dr John Roebuck of Carron, stayed in the house and it was he who brought the engineer James Watt to Kinneil where he worked on his improved steam engine in the little workshop at the back of the house. Behind Kinneil House on the other side of the Gil Burn (stream) is the site of the village of Kinneil which was abandoned in the late 17th century. The ruins of the 12th century church survive with only the west gable standing. The Roman fortlet of Kinneil was identified and excavated in the 1980s to the west of the house.

Early in 1990 the remaining section of the line was relaid to provide a connection with the BR Edinburgh to Glasgow main line at Manuel, where it is intended that a new station will be constructed. In the meantime this line is used for the movement of locomotives and carriages, and has allowed the SRPS Railtours train to be based at Bo’ness since 1991. It also enables locomotives from other preservation groups to visit the Bo’ness & Kinneil Railway. BEST VIEWED LARGER Related shots can be found at: Bo’ness or Lowland Scotland.

In 1769 and 1770, when John Roebuck was the tenant at Kinneil house, Bo’ness, Scotland, he employed James Watt to undertake experiments to develop a more efficient steam engine capable of pumping water out of deep coal mines under the River Forth. Watt succeeded in his quest, though only after he had left Kinneil. The experiments were kept secret by housing them in this cottage close to Kinneil House itself. Whether it was entirely wise to employ someone to develop a bigger and better steam engine only yards from where you are living is open to debate: though perhaps the fact that the old tower house has walls that are six feet thick gave Roebuck a greater sense of security! James Watt lived from 19 January 1736 to 19 August 1819. He was an engineer and inventor whose improvements to the steam engine were fundamental in bringing about the industrial revolution. He was once described as the 22nd most influential man in history: and the SI unit of power, the Watt, is named after him. Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Photomatix.

Caledonian Railway 0-4-4T No.419 Shown here at Bo’ness, properly Borrowstounness, a town in the Falkirk council area of Scotland, lying on a hillside on the south bank of the Firth of Forth. Prior to 1975 it was in the former county of West Lothian. CR 419 was built by the Caledonian Railway Company at St Rollox Works, Glasgow, in 1907. The class was designed by J F Macintosh for branch line and suburban work. Following withdrawal from service by British Railways in the early 1960s, the ‘Caley Tank’ was one of the first locomotives to be acquired by the SRPS and is the Society’s emblem. A major overhaul was completed in 2000, since when No. 419 has been in regular use on the Bo’ness & Kinneil Railway. Related shots can be found at: Lowland Scotland. Best viewed Larger.

The ruins of the 12th century Kinneil church at the site of the medieval village of Kinneil, Falkirk district, Scotland. Only the west gable is left standing. The church was originally built in the 1100s, and by the 1400s was the focus of the village of Kinneil, which occupied much of the parkland to the south of the church. The main street through the village even reused the stone base of the (otherwise turf) Antonine Wall (the northermost frontier of the Roman Empire). During major redevelopment of Kinneil House in 1667, the village was cleared to allow a park to be established, the villagers mostly relocating to the rapidly growing town of Bo’ness a short distance away. Today, all that remains of the village and the villagers are the grave slabs around the ruin of the church (and others kept in the vault of the palace of Kinneil House). The church itself continued to be used as a chapel by the Hamilton family until 1745, when it was accidentally burned down by troops based in it to guard Kinneil House during the Jacobite Uprising.
