Devised by Bill Forbes, originally from Buckie, for Anne Taylor of Fochabers (Moray). Strathlene, on the eastern outskirts of Buckie, (Banffshire) has wonderful winding paths - a hiker’s paradise - leading away from the sea up to the golf course. The Braes cradle a fairly large holiday park overlooking the Moray Firth, famous for its sunsets - an unbelievable view. The Village of Findochty nestles to the East of the Braes and is where Anne grew up. “PS. I am not employed by the Scottish Tourist Board,” writes Bill Forbes.
