After breakfast we took a stroll round the area to see what there was.
Leaving Fraserburgh we headed on to Peterhead and then to Aberdeen. The ring road round Aberdeen was very busy and it took quite a while to get round. The wind had picked up and we were pleased to be in a closed car.
Stonehaven was next then on to Montrose. We rook a white road down to Lunan where we stopped for lunch and a short stroll on the beach.
Onwards down the coast through Dundee & St Andrews then round to Crail and Leven. Easy going till we hit Kirkaldy where traffic was heavier, speed limit was 20mph and there were speed bumps everywhere.
Our arrival at the B&B in North Queensferry gave us our first and only problem with the car. We misread the signs and pulled up in the wrong driveway. When we left the car wouldn't start. Lights were working but there was no action from the starter motor. It turned out to be a wire had come adrift from the starter. There are two connections it could have fitted and it took a couple of goes to get the right one. I was laid on my side working by feel. That's my excuse anyway.
Once we found the right place, it was amazing. The cottage was over 200 years old and the Forth Rail Bridge had been built over the top of it. The old & new road bridges were right in front of it.
