I had the mixed grill - a lot of food. I only wish I had the character to stop before eating it all, but it was too tasty.

Newburgh on Ythan golf course claims to have a championship links. It certainly has a championship club house but nothing else. No irrigation, pock marked greens, irregular bounces, countless holes blind over marker posts or uphill. No yardage charts available either. There are lots of lovely tracks to play in this part of Scotland. Leave this one alone.

We went to see the seals and we certainly did. A lovely walk on the sandy estuary. Nice clean beach and dog friendly one. Free parking 5 minute walk to beach. Amazing beach with lots of flowery doons.
