A collection of the buses and coaches of the many independent operators in Moray and Aberdeenshire. This includes some interesting vehicles, such as Allan and Black's 1969 Leyland Leopard which is still in regular use with the company, and also their ex Nottingham Scania "R" type decker. Watermill Coaches large fleet of contract double deckers is shown, as are the school and local bus service vehicles of Deveron Coaches, based at MacDuff and Buckie. Several of the pictures are taken close to schools and I feel obliged in the current environment to add, for the avoidance of doubt, that these were all taken with full knowledge of the local authority and school management.

There are all digital images taken with a Fuji Finepix 4700 camera up until October 2004 when I moved onto a Canon Powershot A95 camera.

Thanks for visiting - haste ye back.
