Scotland highlights. Photographs by my sister Clare.
Our first days wander along the 5 miles of beach from Burghead to Findhorn, worm casts, clear sea, tracing the waters edge with bare feet.
Finding washed up Jellyfish on our return journey and throwing them back into the sea.
Scoffing my first knickerbocker glory since childhood in the Bog Cotton cafe, Cannich.
Stopping in our tracks on hearing an odd sound in the sky while walking around Loch Affric. Turns out it was a Snipe, a feather in its tail creating this strange noise.
Shrieking as a young Golden Retriever bounded over a rock and stuck its head in my rucksack, lured by a cheese sandwich.
Wailing seals off the beach at Lossiemouth.
The breathtaking prettiness of Rosemarkie.
Seeing Moray Firth dolphins for the first time at Chanonry Point. Their fins and tails popping up in the water, the sound of their blowhole out breaths.
A strip of pink sky and wonder at the 11pm light on the drive back from Findhorn where I danced to the drums of Kakatsitsi.
