Fascists and Racists have been trying to ramp up protests in the North east of Scotland, this weekend they are targeting the Broch.
Anyone in the Broch please share around and make sure they are made unwelcome.
Also this is being organised for Peterhead. Peterhead has a problem.

Had a wee trip up to #fraserburgh earlier this year after quite a few sightings of orcas nearby. This was the best shot I got I did get the mother and calf though and still worth the trip.

Matt Hancock: unintentionally hilarious.

The original Kinnaird Head Lighthouse (the new one is next door) is part of the Museum of Scottish Lighthouses. The facility is well worth a visit if you are in the Fraserburgh area. Not only can you see the castle and the lighthouse there is also an exhibition telling the story of the Northern Lighthouse Board.

Kinnaird Head Lighthouse
Fraserburgh, Scotland.This is the original lighthouse at Kinnaird and is the only light (I know of) built on top of a castle. The lighthouse was first used in 1787. The castle was originally built in 1570.
I was lucky the day I visited as not only was the sun shining, but the castle and lighthouse had just been painted.

I'll end my wee excursion to Fraserburgh harbour by showing you one of the smallest, and yet probably the most important boat.
The "Willie and May Gall" is the Fraserburgh lifeboat. It is a Trent class lifeboat. It is only 14m long but is capable of 25 knots and a range of 250 nautical miles. It takes a crew of 6 and is designed to operate in the harshest weather conditions.
-
All the ships we have seen so far have been fairly small. However, there were some enormous fishing boats in Fraserburgh harbour, too.
The boat in the photo below wasn't one of the biggest, but it was right next to the quayside and easier to photograph. Human added for sense of scale. 😃
-
In a different part of the dry-dock area, all the ships were being re-painted.
Anyone that has ever re-painted their car will recognise what is happening in the photo below. All the corroded parts of the hull had been sanded down, prior to the new paint being applied. The sanded parts gives the hull a spotty appearance.
-
In this photo you can see some of the many ships that were lined up in the dry-dock area for repair work.
One of the most obvious activities was re-painting.
-
There is a sort of tramway system in Fraserburgh dry-dock which allows ships to be moved around. If you look closely at the photo you can see the ship is sitting on wheeled trucks. Workers then have much easier access to the ships.
Maintenance and repair work is therefore much easier, cheaper and quicker.

CW: Mystery object
Well done, folks.
Everyone got the object correct, it was a #foghorn (I'll need to make it more difficult next time).Congrats to Mark, who not only identified the location but also linked to a map with photo. It was Kinnaird Head (An Ceann Àrd) near to #Fraserburgh in north east #Scotland.
If you are in the area it is well worth visiting, including the museum:
