Photo of my mother at Pittencrieff Park, aka Dunfermline Glen. I'd have dated this to late 70s after I bought my Praktica, as that's when I started using Agfa slide film.

Given the date (12 december 2009) and the other pics on the roll, this would have been taken with the Canon Demi half frame, with either Rollei Retro 100 or 400...
