Life in Newburgh on Ythan

By Talpa

Blue places

It is a small world; last Friday I was in Budapest walking along the Blue Danube; today I was at the harbour in the Blue Toon*.

* Peterhead is known as The Blue Toun (locally spelt as "The Bloo Toon") and people,  who were born there  are called Blue Touners, but more correctly  blue mogginers, supposedly from the blue worsted moggins or stockings that the fishermen  used to wear. Mrs T is a blue mogginer.

The Altaire is a trawler based in Lerwick in the Shetland Islands. You can see a video of her in heavy seas.
