Stock Photography: Renfrewshire
Johnstone
I have amassed a large collection of Stock Photography images which previously could be accessed via a link to Photographers Direct.com. This was a well-established website with well over one million images on record, supplied by thousands of photographers worldwide. However, in early 2019 the site folded without warning or explanation, I suspect as the result of a downturn in the Stock Photography market.
As an alternative means of displaying my stock images, I am in the early stages of creating a series of thumbnail gallery pages featuring shots previously held by PD in addition to some of those included in the main posts. Due to the large number of JPEG files I have not attempted to re-keyword individual files as before but have grouped them under general headings so that they can be accessed via a general search. Larger categories will be sub-divided and some subjects may be duplicated on one or more pages.

Please note that all my images are subject to copyright. They are not free to use and have been embedded with a digital watermark. Also bear in mind that the thumbnails displayed are relatively low-quality, may be under or over exposed, and do not fully reflect the standard of images produced from the high-resolution files supplied to clients.
Johnstone War Memorial
The Johnstone War Memorial stands in a prominent position in Houston Square, off Main Street in the centre of the Renfrewshire town. The bronze of a kilted soldier of the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders is by the acclaimed Glasgow sculptor William Kellock Brown (1856-1934). His work included several other war memorials including those at Largs and Inveraray which have similar figures. Plaques commemorate the Fallen from both World Wars while others list the main theatres of battle from the First World War. The memorial was unveiled on Saturday 10 May 1924.
