This is a tribute to my father-in-law, Alex - a brilliant and proud Scot, and the most incredible grandfather to my son. All images are from the MacKenzie archive; all I did was scan photos and create the slideshow. You might notice a gap of about 25 years between the picture of his children (the little one’s my wife!) and the next picture. He says he wasn’t ignored, he was just a bit busy.

It’s not often I get the chance to take ‘proper’ pictures of my son, Fin. He thinks if I have my camera then I’m about to go to work and he’s not going to see me, so he’s not usually into it.

But last Sunday morning he came up to me and said, “Take my picture, Daddy”. Then he went and put his best shirt on!

I was speechless, but quickly grabbed my camera and shot a few of him sitting on the table in the window light before he got bored (about 30 seconds) and went off to build something out of baked bean tins. He’s cute, isn’t he…
