The beginning of the Glasgow Fair a week ago brought many visitors to Lewis while I departed for a week on the mainland. Although I left Stornoway in bright sunshine it was pouring in Inverness and the poor weather continued for most of the week…
I visited a few of the East-Coast fishing villages : Buckie, Cullen, Portknockie, Portsoy, Findochty. Most of the fishing vessels that where around when I visited some years ago are now replaced by yachts. In Sandend a small, beautiful village down the road where my friends live, a good many of the houses are holiday homes.
But it was lovely to hear Fred the fishmonger and his son speaking Doric to me when I purchased some locally smoked fish.
