From time to time I post other peoples images on my blog where I think that they would be appreciated by a wider viewing public than they would otherwise get.
Of course, I always seek permission to use such images and always credit the photographer accordingly.
This selection were taken at the ‘Scottish Vintage Bus Museum’ at Lathalmond in August 2015 by friend Peter M. Rose.
