Our nearest village, when we move.

Inverallochy and Cairnbulg are two ex fishing villages on the North Sea. Once separated by just a stream, this is now buried beneath a road. The road that leads through the villages and then left or right to the sea. Inverallochy has a harbour, soon to be upgraded. Whereas in Cairnbulg the fishermen just pulled their boats up on to the shore, and parked them between the houses. The houses were built gable end to the sea. For obvious reasons. But in todays double/triple glazing wouldnt it be nice to have had a view of the sea!

This was Inverallochy Castle. One of the "Nine Castles of Knuckle." Doesnt that just sound so spooky. Knuckle is the North East Corner of Scotland. Never heard that one before I started to research into the are we are moving to. Knuckle. Fascinating.

Cairnbulg Castle is still lived in.

Inverallochy has an 18 hole link golf course. Link courses are by the sea.

We have golfers from all over the world playing. Germany has no link courses and they find them a really enjoyable and exciting challenge.

I played golf many years ago but did find I got my ballet classes of years before that having an effect and always did some sort of pirouette when teeing off. It worked though!
