I just make it to the Collieston car park turn-off for sun rise.

But still a few minutes to wait for the sunlight to reach Sand Loch.

Interesting light before the sun rises above the horizon.

The swans and ducks have woken up and started work.

Hackley Head and Aberdeen to the south.

Smaller bay along the way.

The last rise before Hackley Bay.

First glimpse of Hackley Bay.

Steps ahead to avoid dangerous cliff descent.

The last arc of the main path above the bay yields fine views all along the way.

Not the way down!

Can't miss it.

Not a bad bay, I would say or was it just the fine morning that made it seem that way?
