Fraserburgh gale

'Have you seen the mighty flail 

Of the roaring North East gale

Drive the billows to destruction

On the rocks off Buchan Ness?'

The ferocious seas which are aftermath of the yesterday's gale reminded Grey Granite of the lines quoted above. They are from Buchan Beauty by Peter Buchan.

The photographs were taken at Fraserburgh this morning, as the wind was starting to drop.This was described by the Meteorological Office as being 'the perfect storm' and has caused extensive damage down the East Coast.

 The lower photograph was taken at about the same point as the oystercatchers in the previous posting.
