Buckie Den 'Den' is the Scots term for a deep narrow glen. This one is spanned by the main east coast railway to and from Aberdeen. The seaward end of the den is covered by a profusion of wild flowers, though it has to be admitted that many of them are invasive aliens, like Himalayan Balsam.

Moon Jellyfish on Lunan Bay Beach, Angus This photo of a Moon Jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) was taken at a short distance from it and from almost directly above. Although large numbers of them can be stranded on the beach, often near the mouth of the River Lunan, this particular specimen was on its own. They are plankton feeders and have a mild, harmless sting. The distinctive four coloured gonads can be seen in this photo.
