Fionnlagh.......

...or Finlay, as we lowlanders spell it.

A very functional start to the day with a trip the railway station to meet a work colleague, then to the hypermarche for the weekly shop. Collected Owen from Ethan's gaff where he'd been for a sleepover. Bit of a chinwag with Claire (Ethan's mum) before collecting Nancy and heading down the A68 to the Borders. A pleasant if unexceptional meal in the Railway Hotel in bonnie Melrose before joining the phalanx of visiting family members intent on photographing and holding young Fin (age 1 day) at his room in the Borders General Hospital and Spa Resort.

Weez looked tired but the endorphins are clearly still wooshing around as she beamed throughout the visit of brothers, sister-in-laws, nephews and nieces. Craiga just looked like the cat that's got the cream, and well he might, for his son is a wee cracker.

For those of a family persuasion scattered across the globe, here are some additional shots.
