The River Spey runs to the sea. The Moray Firth is a beautiful stretch of water that links the North Sea to Loch Ness. From Nairn to Banff it is silvery gold sand, nabks of startlingly varied pebbles and mostly deserted.
There are shore birds, dolphins, seals and even whales to be spotted and today there were 2 collies (as ever on my blog pictures). This time Ralph was with me as we walked the 14 mile round trip, through the woods and along the shore. It was warm and sunny and as you can see the views were stunning.
The 2nd picture above shows the start of the Moray Coastal Path from Findhorn which felt a little moon-like...maybe a bit like the top of Bleaklow with no rain.
The harbour is at Burghead...a real fishing boat coming in but sadly not a fish shop to be had. We ate a club sandwich in the pleasant "Bothy Cafe" (you can either eat in or eat oot, the sign stated).

Finally as we neared the end of our shore walk back, the sun was giving the shore this silver sheen on the wet sand. You can see Moss's reflection.
It's a definite plus living only 22 miles from the sea.
