Fun stroll in a Scottish seaside town

Hello Hello Hivians

I just had to put on chain my recent walk and what better way than to participate in the #wednesdaywalk initiative for the first time in May.

Let's go

First up was to drop Mrs T at her crochet club in the Galleries and then head down into town.

The time of this walk is between 1.30 and 3.30 pm.

Just look how beautiful it was and the sky was that gorgeous blue colour we all love 💙

It was time to head into town. The High Street is fighting, but there are far too many shops that have left and so buildings are still to let.

Meanwhile I had some shopping to get done!

Nothing too heavy mind you!

The sky was still a gorgeous blue and it was pleasantly warm as there was no wind to chill the air!

The sea even looked calm just to prove my point.

That sky, I am writing this at 7.15am today Wednesday and how I wish it was blue like that, we have rain!

Yes yes many of you reading this love the rain and comfort it brings, well at night it is fine and it is what keeps Scotland looking so green lush and beauitful!

The buildings, we forget how lucky we are to have architecture that has been around the block so to speak!

Whilst we are on the subject of forgetting, you can't forget what country you are in when you see a sign for Kiltmakers....

I wonder if all the ladies that make dresses know how much tartan goes into making a kilt!

All those pleats and folds account for a surprising amount!

Take note of the sky in this picture we will be walking up this street in an hours time ....

I sauntered down to the esplanade at the intersection where the heart is ...

But what lies beyond the heart? Let's find out...

It is the last of the beach.

We are going to zoom in a bit, the eagled eyed amongst you might see some blobs on the rocks...

They are Eider ducks, the brown one is a female and the black and white ones are the males.

but what about these two wee ducklings ... Cute huh?

I did write Fluffing Eider cuteness if you want to see some more of the funky looking Eider ducks!

The blue sky meanwhile is starting to vanish, actually it is being replaced by a ha'ar coming in from the sea ....

Before we headed towards Dysart look at what was sitting in the road!


It was an old Ford Cortina and it was in fantastic condition.

I wonder how old it is ... Any ideas?

Those wheels were sparkling!

Like many places with docks and waterfronts, newish flats were built although they still have some wee boats in the harbour which are always colourful things!

Can you guess what the Carr's building is ....

It is actually a flour mill, one of only 2 left in Scotland.

This was me about to turn around ... I was not about to go up those fluffing steep steps though!

Actually they do look good old fashioned set of steps with the metal hand railing in the middle...

One last look and then time to turn round and back we go....

Of course I just had to snap BABYLAND and immediately thought of @lhes

Past the heart now and you can see that ha'ar rolling in. Like fog or mist it cuts down your visibility!

Up the street we go and for some reason unusual vehicles were about to come into view....


What a funky trike, that tickled me, sitting back and two wheels at the front, I am guessing more stable or something?


Two seconds later a wee red sports car popped past taking advantage of the good weather by having the top down ... a MG maybe?


Ah here comes the curmudgeon rant, I cannot abide wee NEDS who take delight in fcuking destroying everything. Councils and local tourist offices try to make places better and then shit likethat happens.

Now it was time to come up the last hill, and remember I told you earlier to look at the blue sky with this building with the clock...

Not fluffing blue anymore not that the ha'ar has taken hold of the sky...

Next up we changed from two webbed feet of ducks to four paws of the pup variety!

I just love this house with the clock of the Auld Kirk in the background, you would think we were back a few centuries....

Luckily there are no lorries that go up and down this road as look at that fluffing tree that overhangs almost the whole street. Yes winter has well and truly fluffed off!

Now then, how many dogs ....?

Did you spot the wee one to make it four, I didn't until I made this post!

Then it was time for a breather and a swig of water and look at that view...

The view in question was this big church.

Now though it was 3.20 pm and I needed go meet Mrs T!

This post is also my first May 2024 walk for #wednesdaywalk which was started by the wonderful @tattoodjay.

Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of your day!
