<font face="Arial">Travel down to that area? Tom i LIVE in that
area! I live in Gourock beside Greenock, and the end of my street
looks right across to the Holy Loch. When the US naval base was
there I tuned a piano there a couple of times, and pianos of US
naval personnel. When were you there?<br>

Did you see the photos I posted the other day of Glencoe, where
one half of your ancestors massacred the other half, 320 years ago
this month? You can see them, along with some photos of this
area, on my Facebook business Page, David Boyce Piano Services.
The first of the 2012 Calendar pics has the mouth of the Holy Loch
right in the middle of the shot.<br>
