This short walk was excellent and enjoyed by all.The forest at the beginning of the walk where nice and the views just got better the further up we got.
This was our first walk in this area and an impressive one, just proves you don't need great height for great views.

Nice to see another report of the Bin of Cullen (and being enjoyed by little uns).
My guess, from the first photo, is that you were staying at Inverboyndie? - my local beach.
Cheers

Brings back memories from almost 16 years ago when I was last in Buckie.
The windmills are a new addition since then.
Thanks for posting the report !
