Firth of Forth

Here's the Firth of Forth, sent to us by Pinkhairedlady for our our blipper-sourced online album of photographs of locations associated with Lorna Lloyd and her Diary of the war (previously blipped in full in the LornaL journal, and now available as a podcast series). Thank you Pinkhairedlady!

Lorna mentions the Firth of Forth in her war diary entry of October 16th 1939 with reference to a daytime German raid in the area that day. Listen to Lorna's testimony in Episode 3 of our podcast series.

If you have a photograph(s) of any of the places listed below (that you have not blipped already), please do send it(them) to h.hall@napier.ac.uk and we will feature it(them) alongside the others that we have been blipping here since 13th July 2022. In recognition that some of these locations are hard to reach, as well as shots of the actual places themselves, we are also happy to receive photographs that represent them (see for example our blip of 4th December). Thank you!
