Ok, most of you won't give a toss about this, but Sunny keeps bugging me about these so here they be. Also, this is some good advertising for the Scottish tourist board. :)

I've not embedded the pictures since some are quite big and will screw up the board dimensions. Click the links.

First up, the beach:

The locals. That's Orkney in the background:

Now, I was at the very top of Scotland. The pointy bit RIGHT at the top looking south. This photo I liked - it shows the North Sea on the left and the Atlantic Ocean on the right:

Same photo but larger and without the captions:

Abby with the Stacks of Duncansby in the background:

John O Groats (the most northenly inhabited area) harbour with some dodgy clouds. Again, Orkney in the background:

Finally, a small, secluded beach called "Scotlands Haven". It involves about a ten minute trek over moorland to find this place. It's not on the maps and there's no signs. There is, however, a seal colony normally on the rocks. The beach is awesome.

More people should come see this place. It's pretty cool. :)

I'll be your most Northern pickup, but still count me in too!

Sorry Foots, hi-jacking your thread but I think (well hope) these pics are also worthy.

Hunstanton near where I live, where I spent yesterday evening

I've been on a boat ride in Hunstanton when I was a kid.

I don't think I could go to a place called Hunstanton.

Although very few are going to get that joke.

From your perspective, I'd be bad guys A as opposed to bad guys B.

It's all perspective. The enemy of my enemy is still an enemy just not today.
