| Prior to our holiday in Orkney we spent a few days in Newmachar, Aberdeenshire with Gaye's friend Collett and enjoyed excellent hospitality and Tom and I had some excellent walks. |
 |
| Our first walk was near Newburgh north of Aberdeen on an area of sand dunes that is now a nature reserve. |
 |
| There was plenty of wild life to see and these Eider Ducks were very noisy |
 |
| This Seal was very nosy and followed us along the coast for quite a while |
 |
| A large colony of Eider Ducks |
 |
| The sand dunes that had to be climbed before we reached the sea |
 |
| Tom believes in being dressed for the occasion complete with his two hats |
 |
| The mile walk along the shoreline |
 |
| On our way back to Newmacher we stopped at President Trumps new golf course. Nobody was playing. |
 |
| The next day we headed to the Banff coast for a walk along the coast from Portsoy to Sandend. |
 |
| The weather inland was not good but at the coast it was perfect |
 |
| There was gorse everywhere and it was spectacularly colourful in the sunshine |
 |
 |
| The return journey to Portsoy took us away from the coast and through farmland where we saw this lovely Yellowhammer |
 |
| The walk took us to the village of Sandend and its lovely harbour |
 |
| The last mile of the walk along the shore from Sandend to the point where we turned inland has these great concrete blocks placed there during the war to stop a German landing. |
