🌊 Lossiemouth, Moray β€” looking out across the beach from inside one of the coastal defence structures.

A peaceful view today, but these dunes and defences once formed part of Britain’s wartime coastline. A reminder of how much history lies hidden in plain sight.

🌊 Sunnyside Beach, Moray Firth 🌊

A wild and beautiful stretch of coastline, where rugged cliffs meet the sandy shore and the waters of the Moray Firth roll in. There’s something special about the raw, untouched beauty of this part of Scotland. πŸ’šπŸ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ

A dramatic sky, the rugged coast of Cullen and the old viaduct standing quietly between them.

There’s something special about a Coastal Trail like this β€” rugged rock and a narrow path winding its way through the wild. πŸŒŠβ›°οΈ

No crowds, no distractions, just the sound of the wind and the feeling of being completely surrounded by nature.

But here’s the question… who knows where this is? πŸ‘€

Have you walked this trail before, or can you recognise the landscape?

What a sunset over the Moray Firth tonight! 🌊

The sky was putting on an incredible show this evening, with layers of wispy, sweeping clouds stretching across the horizon and catching the last light of the day.
