The link to my late father's photos is here: http://s88.photobucket.com/albums/k169/lexin0/Dads%20photos/

There are about 25 or so, and I think the wild array of colours is as a result of the way that time has affected the dyes on the original slides. A lot of people who bought the slide scanner, according to their comments on Amazon, had trouble with the slides turning out blue. I have a bit of that with some of them, but not on all.

Now, my late father simply bought the best film he could afford, and had it done by the best place he could afford - but that varied because he was a badly paid teacher. So the slides come from all over the place. Plus, they're from a wide span of time - some are very old, some comparatively new, where "comparatively" has the extra meaning of "at least 30 years old."

Anyway. Lots of pictures of Scotland, plus some of people.

ETA: I added some more. Quality is very variable.

Some of the landscape shots are really beautiful. You're lucky to have them; my mum got rid of a lot of slides after Dad died, without asking if we'd like to look at them. I'm sure they were mostly of people, particularly me and my sister as children, rather than lovely landscapes, but it would have been nice to see them. Ah well...
