Achnahaird to Newburgh

West to East, always a thought, but the promise of a Humpy whale at the Ythan (and back to sea glass and pottery beaches for me) made it better. From Clachtoll we went to Lochinver then took the crazy nail biting coastal route south to Achiltibuie where we stopped at Achnahaird beach for the dogs and us to roam Atlantic side one more time. To Ullapool and then across Scotland.

And at night, out to Newburgh Estuary, standing waiting and watching for Humpy. Who was of course nowhere to be seen. Chips from Balmedie Chipper on the way home, yas!!! (Newmachar chip shop is mingin' and to be avoided) and on that note, being Scottish - and therefore being chip supper connoisseurs by default - we hope the lovely Dyce Salt n Soul can rise from the ashes soon. I've digressed again into Elaine's world of chips again haven't I.

Elaine's enforced Diet Coke ban day 1: Fentiman's coke is nae a fine substitute.
