Wanted to explore somewhere we had never been before so set off in the car on an adventure. Looking at the map we decided to explore the east coast beyond Inverness and Nairn but somewhere off the beaten track. Kept driving on the A96 beyond Forres and then turned left at a signpost marked to Findhorn, passing RAF Kinloss on the right, a journey of about 22 miles from Inverness. Eventually arrived at Findhorn Bay car park amongst the sand dunes. Walked up to view the rolling white waves of the North Sea entering the mouth of the Moray Firth. Walked along the endless sandy beach of Burghead Bay with snow capped mountains in the distance. It was rather bracing so we did not stay long, just long enough to take a few photos. Got swiftly back in the car and decided to have lunch by the warm coal fire of the Cawdor Tavern signposted off the A96 road on the way back home.
