This blog started as a year long project to post a photo taken in the Aberdeenshire village of Johnshaven every day for a year. Having completed all 366 postings, I'm going to keep adding the occasional photo. All comments are very welcome. If you see anything on here that is factually inaccurate, please feel free to put me right!

192. No travellers please
In the past we've had lots of travellers setting up camp along this coastal dead end road. It's a very popular walking route, but when there are scary dogs chained up outside a caravan and barking from dawn 'till dusk, it's not very pleasant to walk past. As far as I'm aware, the travellers themselves haven't caused any bother in recent years, but the mess they leave behind is often shocking.
Previous attempts at making the ground difficult to access by digging a ditch between the road and the grass were thwarted when the travellers just filled in the ditch to make a sort of bridge to drive over.
So, last year the local landowner decided to do something to stop this problem once and for all. This height restriction is one of the measures used.
