Bowfarts is a prominent coastal feature located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is classified as a headland, specifically a point that juts out into the North Sea. Situated along the northeastern coast of Scotland, Bowfarts offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area.

The headland is characterized by its rugged cliffs, which stand tall against the crashing waves of the North Sea. These cliffs have been shaped by centuries of erosion, resulting in unique formations and crevices. The exposed rock faces provide a fascinating glimpse into the geological history of the region.

Bowfarts is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and hikers, who are drawn to its scenic beauty and diversity of wildlife. The headland is home to a variety of seabirds, such as gannets, puffins, and fulmars, which nest on the steep cliffs. Visitors can often catch glimpses of these graceful birds soaring overhead or perched on the rocky ledges.

The area surrounding Bowfarts is also rich in marine life. Seals can often be spotted lounging on nearby rocks, while dolphins and porpoises occasionally make appearances in the waters below. The headland is a haven for photographers, who are captivated by the interplay of light and shadow on the rugged coastline.

Access to Bowfarts is provided by a well-maintained coastal path, which offers a leisurely walk along the edge of the headland. The path provides ample opportunities to admire the stunning views and observe the abundance of wildlife in the area. Overall, Bowfarts is a captivating coastal feature that showcases the natural beauty and diversity of Aberdeenshire's rugged coastline.

Puffin at the Bullers of Buchan Sadly, there seems to be less puffins this year than usual on the cliffs at the Bullers of Buchan. Possibly due to the very extreme weather whilst they were at sea this season.
