Located in Kincardineshire, Scotland, Big Rob's Cove is a picturesque coastal area renowned for its breathtaking beauty and diverse ecosystem. Nestled along the North Sea, this idyllic cove features a unique combination of sea, estuary, and creek environments, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers.

The cove's main attraction is its pristine sandy beach, stretching for approximately 500 meters. This expansive shoreline offers a serene setting for leisurely walks, picnics, and sunbathing, with its soft golden sand and crystal-clear waters. The beach is also a popular spot for birdwatching, as a wide variety of coastal and marine birds can be spotted throughout the year.

At the eastern end of the cove, a small estuary forms, providing a sheltered habitat for various marine species. This estuary is particularly rich in biodiversity, attracting both local and migratory birds, as well as numerous fish and crustacean species. The estuary's calm waters are perfect for kayaking or canoeing, allowing visitors to explore the stunning surroundings from a different perspective.

Further inland, a tranquil creek meanders through the picturesque landscape, offering a peaceful retreat for those seeking solitude or a quiet fishing spot. The creek's gentle flow, framed by lush vegetation and towering cliffs, creates a sense of tranquility that is hard to find elsewhere.

Big Rob's Cove is not only a paradise for nature lovers, but it also holds historical significance. The area is named after a local fisherman, Big Rob, who was known for his remarkable fishing skills and deep connection to the sea. Today, his legacy lives on, as the cove continues to captivate visitors with its natural wonders and rich heritage.

Sill exposed on Darn Bay cliff The sill runs from half way up the left of the frame to the top of the cliff on the right in a very flattened S curve. Samples taken on 22 Dec 21 were consistent with lava. If this is an offshoot of the dyke shown on the BGS overlay about 100m to the left (W), then it is a 'North Britain Siluro-devonian Calc-alkaline Dyke Suite - Microgranite'. The rest of the cliffs are Gourdon conglomerate with interbedded sandstone layers.
