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!

193. No travellers please - part two
As I mentioned yesterday, the ditch that had been dug previously was too easy for the travellers to fill in.
The solution was to bring in a digger to dig a deep trench all along the length of the grass, and also to dig out deep parallel trenches at regular intervals along the grassy area from the beach to the road.
The soil that was removed was placed in between the ditches to make a high ridge, so the whole area is very vehicle-unfriendly. It was all very bare at first, but grass and weeds are now covering the whole area.
I do wonder what geographers or archeologists may make of this strange land formation in centuries to come!!
