Massive Lochiel Picture Archive



This slide show has an amazing selection of Lochiel pictures. It is part of the gallery sent to me by Janet in Lochgilphead last year. Also below are other slide shows of Dan Macleod - Janets stepfather.



Pictures of other Lochiel crew members during the 1960's.



And a selection of pictures from the Lochiels final Islay run in 1970.



Many thanks Janet - this archive is tremendous.

Also want to say thanks to Ally and Donnie MacNeil who both been in touch to say their grandfarther/father, John Alex MacNeill was quartermaster on Lochiel. Donnie was involved in creating the memorial garden in Port Ellen which has Lochiel Memorabelia - can't wait to see when we are visiting Islay in June. Thanks both and look forward to keeping in touch.

I looked in to your blog tonight for the first time in ages and was blown away to see this quite stupendous collection of beautiful photographs.

I'm sure that when you started this blog you never dreamt that you'd see such a treasure trove - I know that when I first wrote about Lochiel nearly 2 years ago, I never expected to see such terrific pictures

Bravo to Janet

best wishes
