Brora

Brora is the next village north on the A9, about five miles from Golspie. We drove there this morning to avail ourselves of two services which. our village doesn't offer but Brora does, a recycling plant and a filling station. Both villages used to have many more services which have since disappeared, including the one which we most miss, a bank.

Whenever we visit Brora we take a brisk walk along its miles of open sands, populated today by one other walker, a few seagulls and, on the golf course....

....six oystercatchers feeding on worms.

Although only a light wind was blowing, walking was cold work, the air temperature being slightly below 4C, held there by some thin, high cloud which blocked the sun. This cleared just as we arrived home.
