Bill - what does it say. I had my face right up against the monitor but still couldn't make it out.

Well Davie,it's not Campbeltown from Dalintober....it's Low/High Askomil from Dalintober .For it to be Campbeltown you would have to be facing the opposite way,as you well ken :roll:

Picky, picky, picky! :)

I don't usually pay more than a couple of quid for a postcard on Ebay.

Of course you have to remember Davie that it was only about 20years previous that Dalintober became integrated with Campbeltown.So in1906 there were still plenty of people from Dalintober who did not recognise that they were now Campbeltonians,infact even to this day you can still find old die-hards who refuse to admit to the change.
