Today I paddled from Saltburn around to Balintore. I went on my own, the weather was lovely, sunny and no real wind.
There was a wee bit of mist hanging aboot though, which soon burned away.
I passed by the old Nigg fabrication yard where they are now building offshore windmills.
There were caves around the corner.
Ah remember those gun emplacements ?
Loads of Guillemots jumping into the sea, where they would 'run' along the water.
Loads of Shags too.
I found a landing spot on a very rocky shoreline, although I managed to jump out of the boat before the boulders on the shore, I took a bash from a submerged rock on the way in !
After a scone and a cup of coffee it was time for the final leg, soon Balintore was in site.
The wife will be here soon to pick me up.
...
Two hours later...

Thanks for this, I used to live in Dingwall and have a great affection for the area.

Aye Douglas, lots of the locals go 'down the road' everyone else in the UK seems to be moving to Inverness now though. :)
