Myself, Becky and Beinn went for a wee stroll today along a local stretch of coast.
We started at the small car park beside the caravan park and walked as far as the Cullen Sands before walking back.
From the car park, we set off along the path towards Logiehead, however on reaching Muckle Hythe we took a left to walk along the shore towards Cullen Harbour.

We then walked along a path between the golf course and Cullen Sands. On reaching a couple of large mounds of conglomerate, we opted to head back.
