- Description
- You'd think after 5 weeks in Orkney and Shetland we'd have had enough "seal spotting" but a stop off at Newburgh Seal Beach proved otherwise. Hundreds of them hauled out on the beach for a rest at the entrance to the River Ythan estuary.. A lot of eider ducks as well. Some grand dunes on the beach and the misplaced WWII defences showing how much they move over time. On our return, we saw a Scottish wedding party taking photos at the local beauty spot - seems to be a Scottish thing as we saw the same at The Bridge to Nowhere at Dunbar the last time we were in Scotland.
