Thursday 16 June 2011 - Whitehills again

Again we do not expect any wind and so thought we would explore a bit more of the area rather than spend the day motoring.

Whitehills harbour

Walked to Banff (I don't mean the place in Canada, but a town about 3 miles to the East) which seems like a nice place. It is the County Town, but seems a bit small for that role. Had lunch there and bought some provisions including Scotch Pies.  Whilst buying the pies I asked what "stovies" were and we were given a taste (it's a tradional way of cooking up the leftover beef from the weekend and serving it on Monday).  Walked back. On the way we passed an old well containing some mineral-rich water.  There used to be a circular walk from Banff where people would take the waters from several such wells. It did not look suitable for drinking.

Really must leave tomorrow or we will be here forever
