You are having some lovely weather up there, Joe. I don't know anything about about Napier and his engine, other than it must be important enough to warrant a place in Dumbarton.

P.S. I can't find any of your photos of the broken pier in St.Andrews. Please point me in the direction. ;-)

Robert Napier was a Scottish marine engineer who made significant contributions to shipbuilding and marine engineering, including the development of the side-lever engine

Thanks for your very kind comment, Amelia.
