Is Torry an old Scottish name. Whenever I see it, it reminds me of the Torry Canyon, or better still the Torry Dock in Aberdeen, were you named after either ? The Torry dock was adjacent to the well known pub the 19th. hole which was adjacent to the Golf Course. Seeing you are from Aberdeenshire you should be well acquainted with. Cheers JWS

The site is " Clyde Built Ships " data base - when you look it up the Address Bar shows a Red Triangle with the words Not Secure - and the url has a red line through the https prefix which is also in red. So it seems the site is not regarded as being secure by the browser. As I said before I had a similar experience with Our Site when I was using Firefox.

Clyde Shipping is a different site.

Hi Chris, I think the problem is that the browser concerned is not familiar with the website in question, and marks it as
not secure to be on the safe side once it's been used without problem the browser accepts it as safe, that is my experience
from a similar incident last year. cheers JF

Thanks John, I have done some research and have found the following A “Not secure” message will be presented on pages with password and credit card form fields that are not protected with an SSL/TLS certificate. - Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are cryptographic protocols that provide communications security over a computer network or web site.That figures, as this site, the Clyde Built Ships site, and in fact most membership web sites, require passwords to gain entry. It would now appear that Browsers are being programmed to issue Not Secure warnings on all sites which do not hold an SSL / TLS certificate. I suppose we cant complain as its keeping us all more secure from viruses and hacking.

For John Sabourn #24
TORRY That was now long gone. John I was brought up a Torry "Loon" In the nineteen fifties it was a wonderful place to grow up in with a freedom to rove that you can't imagine today.
The Old Torry folk looked on those of the New Torry with a jaundice eye they were a different breed. I hope the attachments show up.
Regards Bill

Hello Marian #36. Torry is still known by that name. The old village was demolished in the nineteen seventies to provide Shell U.K. With an oil exploration base. A very under handed deal by all involved. It now has a very large population of Eastern Europeans and others. This is nothing new as when the trawling boom took off in the late eighteen hundreds and the early nineteen hundreds there was a great influx of people from Shetland in the north to Lowestoft in the south, it was called little England for a while as they formed a large part of the community.
I could go on and on as over four hundred years of recorded history is some story. Marian if you are a member of a library a book by Diane Morgan Lost Aberdeen The Outskirts chapters 4 & 5 gives as good a view of what it was.

Regards Bill
