Last night we drove up the road to Neil’s house at Cruden Bay. Neil wasn’t there because he was busy running the length of the West Highland Way which is 153Km with 4499m of ascent. He managed to smash his personal best and completed it in 23h 11mins. Crazy, but well done Neil!
Today it was typical Scottish summer weather; windswept and interesting (with torrential downpours). We first went to Inverurie to see a Sunday Market which was held in a cattle market and there was very few buyers or sellers because the weather. We bought some cakes and some fish for dinner and then after lunch headed back to the coast and to Peterhead where the cormorants were drying their wings on the rocks.
We headed down to the harbour which at one time at least was the biggest white fish port in Europe. There were a few boats around and a lot of seals cruising around looking for fish falling off the boats. We saw a couple of seals finding and eating flat fish that must have fallen overboard (bottom picture).
