Crovie to Gardenstown and sunset over Moray Firth

[litljortindan]

It has been a very quiet June in terms of hill walking i.e. no hills climbed. However, I've managed to do a bit of low level walking with my wife including multiple walks and jogs along the relatively new Crovie to Gardenstown cliff-top path. This is one of several new paths in the area that appear to be grant and farmer driven. A good idea (possibly) if more of the coastal strip can be opened up this way or maybe some is better left as rough walking.
This must make the combination of the coastal and cliff-top paths a really good walk but I must admit I/we haven't got round to walking the whole loop yet.
These photos are from the best walk there yet and I've added on the subsequent sunset at Banff beach since it was quite a good one.

I wonder what the view is like from the boat, with Morven and Scaraben showing through to the left.
