A cold but beautiful winter day with a weak sun, high cloud and very little wind, hard to imagine the fury of the wind a few days ago. We took advantage of the good light and calm weather to walk 'Round the Horn' from Rosehearty. Cutting across the Cairnhill we were able to look down over the town to see the yellow digger and gang of workmen already repairing storm damage to the pier.
Along the short section of path from the War Memorial to Cairnhill Road we found these flowers still in bloom. daisies and gorse were also flowering, despite recent frosts and the ravages of last weekend's storm.

Meanwhile, in the trees by Pitsligo Castle, rooks flew about their nests and quarreled noisily.
