Not quite Faroe...

... but a similar and also beautiful landscape. Crawton Waterfall.
Charging and shooting

Broughty Ferry has both - many charging stations to a very fair price at the train station plus a lovely photo spot, the castle. And many lively pubs!
Where are the bagpipes?

Cairngorms National Park let's my heart jump seeing this outstanding beauty of landscape.
So very Scottish, the moors and glens. The old military road connects Aberdeenshire with Perth & Kinross
Vegan EV TravellersYeah, I was west and north, never east though. It's at least as beautiful!
Clunie Water

The 500e conquering the Highlands at Clunie Water
Don't you just love the charging stops?!
4 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
So very convenient charging in Braemar (close to Balmoral).
You can choose between slow and fast charging (the latter tethered). We opted for slow and bought some souvenirs like a musical magnet forЧитать далее
Who needs Disney...

... if you can have the real stuff in Scotland.
I'm not surprised that the late Queen and her family loved Balmoral so much. It's beautiful and peaceful.
Castle Trail
5 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
Today is an overcast day, just perfect for taking photos of castles without any harsh contrasts.
We visit some castles of the Castle Trail in Aberdeenshire.
Castle 1: Fyvie Castle
More pretty than safe
5 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
Castle 2: Tolquhon Castle, now ruined, once one of the most elegant of the area. But the owner was pro Jacobite and that was the end of the elegance...
Rapunzel

Castle 3: Fraser
One of the largest tower houses in Scotland.
DO. NOT. TOUCH.
5 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
I really tried to avoid touching the stones of East Aquhorthies Stone Circle. You never know in which Highlander Saga you end up 😳
Groceries and charging
5 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Tesco's in Inverurie has PodPoint chargers. The 500e arrived with 26% and was faster charged to 100% than I could do my groceries.
Short but often
6 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
We had arrived in Eglin with 65% battery. So no need to charge. Still we did. Why? Because it was convenient while visiting Eglin cathedral just a few steps away.
My advice: charging whenever thereЧитать далее
Fish is in the air...
6 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
The most beautiful harbour village of Portsoy. In love with those authentic little fishing villages. Still peaceful. Saying that: Michael Gray was killed here in Peaky Blinders 😳😉
Fiddle away
6 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
The Bow Fiddle Rock in Portknockie.
Unfortunately too much sun.
Like every day in Scotland 🙄
And for sunset there wouldn't have been left any water...
Supper with a view

Picnic in Cullen
Neighbours
6 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C
This horse and I are neighbours in the rented cottage in North Aberdeenshire. His stable is wall to wall to my bedroom. When he's outside, he sometimes peeks through the window. No privacy for me 🤣
Charging thumbs 👎👎👎👎

In Ellon the ChargePlaceScotland chargers keep disconnecting after a few minutes. It happened to me and to another lady next to me. Now charging AC which seems to work but what a waste of time.

Beautiful scenery at Buller of Buchan.
Dracula
7 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
When Bram Stoker visited the Aberdeenshire coast in 1894, he found his inner Dracula after seeing this castle: Slains Castle. It's believed to be the inspiration for his famous novel. And of courseЧитать далее
Vegan amongst fish mongers
8 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
A great find in Peterhead, usually not the centre of vegan cuisine and rather an industrial fishing town.
The Vegan Bay Bakery.
They have everything. And everything 100% vegan. Bread. Sweet pastries.Читать далее
Scottish Rapid Charging
8 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
Not often you find fast charger up north in Scotland. If so, usually only 50 kW.
So I was very surprised to find a 75 kW Osprey charger just south of Peterhead along the A90!
Shipwrecks
8 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
The remains of several shipwrecks can still be found on the beach of Rattray Head. So it seems that the lighthouse doesn't work very effectively 😳
Even if so - it makes a fantastic photo subject.Читать далее
Glen Garioch (pronounced Geery...!!!)
9 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
A visit to one of the oldest whisky distilleries in Scotland - Glen Garioch in Oldmeldrum.
Due to the more or less 0 tolerance drink and drive policy of Scotland, I wasn't able to taste, but they gaveЧитать далее
Vegan in Aberdeen
10 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
The Vegan Bay Baker I was writing about two days ago, has a second shop in the heart of Aberdeen. Same yummy pies. And an interesting strawberry tart with vegan clotted cream!
Vegan Dolphins watching
10 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
Close to Aberdeen there is a bay (Greyhope) where often dolphins say hi by doing a leap.
Great thing: There is a café (The Liberty Kitchen) with 80% vegan snacks (and the rest is vegetarian).
SpoiledЧитать далее
