Alison in Eastbourne. This was her first photograph given to Alastair when they were courting in 1950.

Alison sitting on the bank of a river. This is almost certainly somewhere on Skye, and may be near Uig where she and Alastair stayed in the Youth Hostel when courting in 1950.

Alastair and Alison's wedding, Eastbourne. March 26th 1951.

Alastair and Alison with Fennec in the garden at Seabank House. c1991.

This shows Alison attending the regatta on her electric scooter. Sadly the scooter became a necessity after an abortive hip replacement operation at Raigmore Hospital, and a long, slow recovery from MRSA.

Taken when Alison was suffering from neuralgia in her left cheek subsequent to an eye inflamation, and on strong pain killers which made her rather dopey, late April 2006.

This photo, taken by Fiona in April 2006, and the last one of them taken together, shows Alastair and Alastair sitting in their favourite place at the gable of Seabank House. Note the horn on Alison's zimmer. Sadly, Alison died only a month or so later, and Alastair died 8 months after that.

Alastair's dedication to Alison on his funeral bouquet. A quotation from the Song of Solomon, which he always loved, and oft quoted when giving a Christmas or Birthday gift to Alison. It was mete that he should quote it on his last bouquet to her.

" Behold, thou art fair, my love;
Thine eyes are as doves."

A small display of Alison's pottery and paintings at the 2006 Cromarty Group Exhibition, the annual exhibition she instigated in 1977 and contributed to for more than 20 years.
