I’ve got 19 kilometres to walk to end up 200 metres from where I’m standing!


Never heard of this band before.

There’s something very special about a forest next to the sea.

  1. Stunning photos as ever. I’m curious, how vdo you find the history? I had no idea the wooden posts were anti glider defences until you told me. I really enjoyed this section though I did get quite lost in Culbin forest trying to get to the beach, but made it in the end.

    Back in 2010, BBC Radio Scotland broadcast a short series of only five episodes entitled Walking Through Landscape, presented by geologist Iain Stewart. Each episode takes a walk through some of Scotland’s most intriguing landscapes, revealing how human activity has shaped the land we see today.
    The first episode focuses on Culbin forest! The series is still available to listen, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend it.
    I’d provide a hyperlink, but I suspect WordPress antispam may well reject my comment, so instead Google “bbc radio Scotland walking through landscape”

    These are great Quintin. I spent time in the Findhorn ecovillage. The walk is an achievement in itself, but thank you for sharing all the picutres – the editing and curation must be another level of effort. Well done/ Bruce

Whether you have comments on the photos, some knowledge or a personal story on this area you’d like to share, or you’ve spotted a typo or error, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
