is where raditional costumes and streetwear together with photography and art meet in this postcard of the Rue du Port, somewhere in Brittany, France.

I do lover an orientation table and from this viewpoint over the Firth of Clyde the islands of Arran and Bute and lots more will be seen. The postcard was sent in 1980 so I'm thinking 1970s or late 60s fashion.

| Scotland Its Highlands and Islands "Off Staffa" |
Going back further in time once again traditional and 'modern' dress is combined in this railway poster of the 1920s/30s encouraging travel to Scotland. The poster invites the reader to contact David MacBrayne Ltd whose ferries still ply the islands and islands (now trading with the name Caledonian MacBrayne) and still sailing past the basalt island of Staffa and the famous Fingal's Cave although our travellers seem to be distracted elsewhere.

I've been to Largs during that time, but that is not me on the card!
I like the mix of styles on the French card, very clever.
That first one is great, so unusual! The Scotland one certainly features happy travelers.
I also love the first postcard a lot. The combination of photograph and illustration makes it special. It could be anywhere in Brittany!
Great first postcard : I love the dog in it! The Scottish card is adorable!
