Burghead

Morayshire view map

Burghead is a small fishing port on the Moray Firth, some way east of Inverness. Each 11th January it holds a fire festival called the 'Burning of the Clavie'. Why 11th January? It's actually a New Year's Eve festival but the date is distorted by the switch from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar.

Nice to see them using solar energy on the roof of the lovely cottage. It's quite a wide street...quiet too.
