The Caves of New Aberdour
The caves of New Aberdour are beautiful. I’ve written about the beach before, but I thought the caves deserved their own post.
I lay on the sand for a while, sheltered by small dunes and grasses, near to the cave with the low ceiling. Sand martins darted about, worried for their rock-face nests.
I took a little walk round to the next bay to see another cave.
There are more. You can clamber and climb and find other caves, but these first two are easily accessible if the tide is out.
The low tide reveals rock pools too.
The dark entrance:
A few more steps and I stared out to sea through the rock.
Sisters at the Edge of the World
Novel Highlights Roman History of ScotlandHaving explored 16th century witch trials in THE MERMAID AND THE BEAR and 18th century child kidnappings in FIREFLIES AND CHOCOLATE, author Ailish Sinclair has now travelled far back in time to the Iron Age and the Roman invasion of Scotland.
From the provocative opening scene to the later dramatic and devastating events of the story, SISTERS AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD is a book that will continually surprise, delight, and sometimes shock the reader. The novel features the beautiful hill of Bennachie, and the stone circles of Aberdeenshire along with the cliffs and caves of Cullykhan Bay.
Aspects of the bookThe main characters are fiercely bonded chosen sisters, one of them neurodivergent.The story is set in the 1st century CE and features the battle of Mons Graupius between the Romans and the Caledonian tribes.There’s romance, but it’s rather complicated romance this time.The stone circle from Ailish’s previous books is still there in all its glory.The castle is not, obviously, but there is a great round house where it will be one day. And a wee hoosie in the woods.Sisters at the Edge of the World Main Book Page
