Strathlene - Findochty
Had a wee walk this afternoon from Strathlene to Findochty. A little bit nostalgic as I lived in Findochty until aged 13. We spent a lot of time on these rocks and cliffs as kids. We weren't scared of the cliffs or rocks, but we were scared of the sea and with good reason, quite a few kids drowned falling in to the sea while playing on the rocks. Odds were you would bang your head and you'd be finished. Anyway, I loved the area. Just a pity the locals were insular, parochial, backwards-thinking and all related if you know what I mean. We were outsiders, but still had the last laugh, as there was a huge influx of outsiders after we left. I wonder how the locals dealt with that?
