The Straw Bear dance is an old local tradition, revived in its modern form in 1980, and is now the focus for a large festival of Morris dancing, with around 30 troupes performing

Launched in 1975 as the Dayspring, it was later renamed the Golden Harvest. After a very varied career in locations in Scotland and Ireland, it ended up being moored in Camusnagaul Bay on Loch Linnhe. In 2011 a southwesterly storm caused its moorings to fail and it was blown ashore near the opening to the Caledonian Canal near Corpach.

Dominating the foreground is a brightly coloured decorative feature portraying the arms of the London, Chatham and Dover Railway, who built the bridge, and the monogram of Queen Victoria with the date 1867. This cast iron carries the legend "Invicta", the county legend of Kent, from whence the trains come.

I like the name.

Boundary stones or markers are quite common remnants of the world before accurate mapping. This one also marks the boundary between Lancashire and Yorkshire, an important distinction.
