It's circa 1971 and a very hairy Daddy Robbo (2nd from right) is captured in glorious sepia in the grounds of Motherwell's Dalzell Estate. Also pictured are (from L to R) Fraser Seith, Keith Wallace and David Morrison. "Get a haircut, the lot of ya".

It's me, on the right in case there is any debate, with my little sister Sheila. This photograph was probably taken at Montrose on one of our frequent exotic holidays. Heaven knows what year this was - late 1950's probably. We look like Tweedledum & Tweedledee. Still do, actually.

"Wot the heckers is this?", I hear you asking. Well, Daddy Robbo works for the company that makes Whiskas cat food and this was his company car during the 80's (only kidding). Mind you, it was fun on the odd occasion that I had the opportunity to take this beast out on the road. Babe magnet or what, eh?

Another one from the 70's I suspect. Lurking inside passport photo booths was always fun. Wasn't it?

ROBBO FACT

The gardens at Robbo Towers were closed permanently to the public in 1991 after a nasty incident in which Lady Robbo, who was in pursuit of her favourite pastime of nude sunbathing (in an effort to turn herself into a leather handbag), was awoken by the attentions of a visitor’s spaniel licking the snow from her bare chest. There were repercussions, I can tell you!
