Findhorn

Back in August, The Wombats visited Findhorn in Moray – and of course I grabbed the chance at a few Wander-style photographs. Findhorn is a tranquil coastal village, with miles of wonderful duney white sandy beaches. LOTS of boats, as you’d expect – look, that lot’s all upside-down.

 

 

There are plenty of rules to be observed in and around the bay. Keep your flapping halyards quiet. Also, “watch your wake”? Shouldn’t you be watching where you’re going?

 

 

 

 

The James Milne Institute, apparently, complete with thrilling bunting.

 

 

 

 

There are some very pretty houses – note the fishing reference.

 

 

 

 

 

Sky, trees, boats, water, tracks, sand, stump.

 

 

 

 

 

Findhorn has a fascinating history, in fact. The original village has long disappeared under the water.

 

 

 

And here’s @goodboyben leading us through the dunes to the rather wonderful and huge-skied beach.

 

 

 

 

There are real proper wooden groynes – picturesque, historic. I love the texture of weather-beaten wood on beaches.

 

 

 

 

 

Also, some brilliant pebbles for skimming and skipping on the water.

 

 

I’ll finish with a gratuitous panorama shot of the beach…
