Echo Beach

Just some more proof that it has been a beautiful weekend here! The tide was in, so no picture of the golden beaches, but they are there, honest...

The lighthouse in the distance is Girdleness Lighthouse. Interestingly, it was designed by the grandfather of Robert Louis Stevenson, also called Robert Stevenson. It was built in 1833 and is well known for the loud foghorn (known locally as the "Torry Coo"). Although it's now out of service it is to be preserved as part of Aberdeen's maritime history.

But enough of that, a beautiful day for a walk along the beach front.
