We continued along the coastline to a very special place called Cove Bay. It appears listed as one of Scotland’s top ten hotspots on many lists so I dragged Emma on another walk but thankfully we reached our destination on this one, unlike the mysterious Castle in Cullen.
In Lossiemouth I had a heated debate with guys doing swab tests from a mobile van. The scenery was pleasant too as RAF jets flew overhead.
We visited the small village of Portsoy on our way to stay with Pam in Elgin as her garden house sounded much better than another night in a wet tent.
When we arrived in Cullen I gave a book to a couple who had a beautiful New Foundland dog. They told us they were just back from visiting a ruined Castle and that the walk was worth it. That was good enough for me so I dragged Emma along despite her reticence.
We set off from Loch Rannoch to Aviemore in the wrong direction but when we got to Aviemore we then had to find a place to pitch the tent. Up the top of a mountain was not the best advice we’ve ever taken.
