That part of the coast can be pretty spectacular. The weather is pretty mild and there are some good beaches around there. There are some very pretty little fishing villages such as Pennan, featured in the film Local Hero.

It is over 50 years since I was last in Portsoy.

I was on a cycling tour of Scotland and I stayed at the Boyne Hotel. I wonder if it is still there.

If you have half the holiday I had, you'll have a ball. I still remember it well.

I have an old B&W Photo of me at about 13 years old, standing at the end of the railings outside the Boyne Hotel. I am in full cycling gear and I was so thin then that you would be hard pushed to tell where the railings stopped and I started.

Nowadays, if I was standing at the end of a row showing the north end of south bound elephants, you'd be hard pushed to know where they stopped and I started.
