I just had to ask ... .... what this man was doing. He explained that he is working for the charity BADA, which is devoted to the prevention of tick-borne diseases. He was using the old towel to collect ticks, and he and his colleagues showed me the dozen or two they had just collected. BADA runs an annual tick awareness week, and offers advice on avoiding tick bites, how to remove ticks if you do get bitten, and on the various diseases the tick can transmit.

Urquhart station (remains), 1988 View westward, towards Elgin: ex-GNSR Coast Line, Cairnie Junction - Buckie - Elgin, closed 6/5/68. Its use 20 years later is uncertain, but it seems someone lives here. In 2014 the surroundings are very different, with many new houses large and small.
