There is a line at the back door of the cathedral which points to it and another pointing to the position of the sun rise on the longest day. When I went to photo the sun rise, I met a teacher who told her class that's where she would be on the longest day at dawn, and one of her pupils said her great great grandad had made the mark.
I can't quite see the Bell Rock lighthouse from my abode but just up the hill (1/2 mile in old money), its flash is visible at night. If I am coming home that way and the visibility is good, I wait until I see it.
Not only is the museum at Arbroath good ( and free I think, maybe wrong) but the Museum of Scottish Lighthouses at Fraserburgh is excellent (although they have got rid of the Tod Head Lighthouse room - a special favourite of mine- to make way for other stuff) as is the Fraserburgh Heritage Museum next door.
I think I need a commission from the Visit Aberdeenshire brigade, the amount I plug it through this forum.
Back to the quiz...
