On the bonny bonny banks of Loch Lomond

Richard Stephen clearly takes the low road tae Scotland and so found this spectacularly fine pole at Balloch afore me.  This was taken back in August when Richard and his wife were heading for a boat trip on Loch Lomond.  And just as these photos made his day then, so they make mine now.

Balloch is at the southern end of Loch Lomond.  I've always been in too much of a rush to get further north into midgie country and so have missed this gorgeous specimen before now. It still would appear to be carrying a single phone line, if not two.  So let us all be grateful to the local pole inspectors for leaving it in situ with all it's redundant crossarms and its array of telenduron screwtops.
