These were our last few days in Scotland. We got in one more hike along the coast, I walked about town one last time taking pictures, and we spent some time at John & Donna’s new place. Then it was finally, officially time to head home.
The Moray Coast Trail
This was a section of coast to the west of Banff, between the towns of Portnockie and Cullen, with some picturesque rocks (and scary surf) just offshore. The main trail was a fairly mellow path, but you could also go exploring the rougher terrain if you wanted.
Last Walkabouts
These are some shots I took while walking around town. The first photo was from a walk between Gardenstown and Crovie, of some rocks that made cool sounds banging together in the surf, and the others were from a walk down and onto the harbour.
More Stately Mansions
I took a few interior photos of our cottage, and some external shots of John & Donna’s new house.
Parting Shots
And finally it was time to go. This first photo is on a touristy, decorated old fishing boat in town, planted with flowers and festooned with local kitsch — the little saying on the fish decoration is (supposedly) an example of Doric, a local Scots dialect. We passed this boat every day, and I took this on on our last night in town.
The seagull photo was the last one I took in Scotland; we were waiting for our ride and I couldn’t resist when the bird just landed outside our cottage.
And that was our trip!
