Skywatch friday



We didn't want to venture too far from home on Sunday for a walk so headed for the Bin of Cullen. We have passed the sign for Hill of Maud many many times - and the name always makes me smile. Litle did I know that the Bin of Cullen and Mill of Maud were one and the same place.

Walk started off flat through the trees - we were lucky enough to spot a Great Spotted Woodpecker - but not close enough to get a photo. Slowly you climb up out of the trees towards the trig point at the  summit. the path zig zags up but we had to watch out as there are down hill mountain bike tracks and you don't want to be on one of the tracks when they come hurtling down at high speed.

The views from the top were wonderful - you could see all the coastline from Buckie, past Cullen and beyond and inland to Knock Hill:

Love how the land at different elevations looks like the sea at different depths. The colours and textures are so distinct. I know this is a Skywatch post, but that's what struck me...
