399. Shortlived sunshine!

It's a wild, wet, horrible day here today, but shortly before the rain started the low sun was casting a lovely light onto the waves as the wind was getting up.

397. Morris Dancers

Here's something you don't see every day!  A group of Morris Dancers called in this morning on their annual tour of Scotland.  They performed down at the harbour before heading off to dance again at Dunnottar Castle.

396. Bovine love

These beautiful beasts are on the steeply sloping field just past the Narrows.

395. Half and half

This large boat has been sitting on the wall dividing the inner and outer harbour for a few years.  

It's now getting a paint job and at the moment the two sides are completely different!.  

394. Flowers at the park

I took this photo at Wairds Park in Saturday's evening sunshine.
The flowers are growing in the top of the wall by the entrance to the park and they look absolutely lovely.

393. The Plough Inn (as was)

This house, formally a pub, is the building across the road from the lobster shed.  

Over the last few years it has been undergoing a massive refurbishment.  

Unfortunately I don't have any photos from before the work started (that predates this blog), but these show recent developments which have dramatically improved the appearance of the building.
