This is Caitlin and Karen in Fraserburgh (pronounced Frazer-bura). Today was a lovely sunny day, in fact, the nicest day since our arrival in Scotland. We started the day with an extensive tour of a massive fishing boat with the skipper, Andrei. Fishing is the leading industry in Fraserburgh and fresh fish, including herring & haddock, is readily available to the locals.
After a nice walk on the beach, we went to the nearby village of Gardenstown for hike through the hills. The views of the countryside were unbelievable - see for yourself!
The boys didn't make it into the water again today but here's a shot of Scott in the North Sea yesterday..
Our group presented at the Fraserburgh Rotary Club last night. At my table (Caitlin), the Rotarians were talking about the sport of curling. It would have been interesting had I been able to understand a word of it - they were speaking in Doric. This dialect is ridiculously hard to understand as an outsider.
Karen was sitting next to the club president, Pauline, who is a general dentist so they were able to talk shop. All in all, the evening was a great success!
Tomorrow we are off to the Macduff Aquarium and then to a college for a catered lunch prepared by culinary students - nice!
That's all for now - Haste ye back!
