Ha' Cove is a picturesque and serene coastal area located in Kincardineshire, Scotland. Nestled between the North Sea and the mouth of the River Dee, it boasts a stunning blend of natural beauty and historical significance. This small, sheltered bay is often referred to as a sea, estuary, or creek due to its unique geographical features.

The cove is characterized by its rocky coastline, which is adorned with vibrant green vegetation and rugged cliffs, providing a dramatic backdrop to the sparkling blue waters. It serves as a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, offering breathtaking views of the sea and the surrounding landscape.

The estuary of the River Dee flows into Ha' Cove, creating a haven for various species of marine life. The area is a haven for birdwatchers, as it attracts a diverse range of seabirds and waders, including oystercatchers, curlews, and terns. The cove is also home to a variety of fish species, making it a favored spot for anglers seeking a rewarding catch.

The history of Ha' Cove is intertwined with its maritime heritage. In the past, it served as a bustling fishing port, with fishermen venturing out to sea in their traditional boats. The remnants of this industry can still be seen, such as old fishing huts and boat sheds that line the shore.

Today, Ha' Cove offers a peaceful retreat for visitors seeking tranquility and natural beauty. Whether it's exploring the rocky shoreline, enjoying a leisurely walk along the beach, or simply taking in the breathtaking views, this coastal gem is sure to captivate all who visit.

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.
