Coastal Walk: Portsoy to Sandend (and back) Date: Sunday 28th February 2010 Company: Myself and Beinn Time: 2Hrs 30Mins Dog friendly: Yes (need to be kept on a lead in places) Almost one year ago, I swapped hills for coast to walk a stretch of my local coastline from Sandend to Cullen. Was feeling really scunnered with snow today so I set off to walk the next stretch of coastline from Portsoy to Sandend. Ten minutes after setting off from home I arrived in Portsoy. I parked at the harbour and after taking a few pics, set off along the coast. The Shore Inn, Portsoy:

Coast leading to Redhythe Point: 
Was interesting to find an open air swimming pool about 5-10 minutes along from the harbour. Shame it is now closed. Portsoy Open Air Pool (full at High Tide):

The next stretch of coast I had walked a couple of times previously, en-route to climbing at the Redhythe Point sea cliffs. Inlet between Portsoy and Redhythe Point: 
According to the Aberdeenshire Council website the ruin building at Redhythe is a former rifle range. Redhythe (former Rifle Range):

The Bin of Cullen was looking nice today (lots of forest surrounding the hill hence snow only at top) Bin of Cullen above Sandend village (zoomed): 
Have visited Sandend beach many times previously but didn't realise that there was another small bay next to it called Red Haven. Red Haven:
