Some of the best village ramparts in France
Spey Bay and Banff

Bertie has been a bit quiet over the winter and we reckoned the weather had improved enough to let us venture out on a short trip. In March 20127 we had bumbled the coast to Fraserburgh and back but this time we wanted to to a bit further and explore the coast north of Aberdeen. We left Forres at midday, fuelled at Elgin Tesco and then headed for a lunch stop at Kingston at the mouth of the River Spey.
