Taking the air

A cold but dry February day with a gale force 'bracing' westerly blowing off the sea ... classic Scottish beach weather!


"What tho', like commoners of air,
We wander out, we know not where,
But either house or hal',
Yet nature's charms, the hills and woods,
The sweeping vales, and foaming floods,
Are free alike to all."

(Robert Burns - from Epistle To Davie, A Brother Poet)
