From the Undiscovered Scotland website:
"Wandering around Seatown is a slightly other-worldly experience. It was obviously a planned community;
but the plans were interpreted in any number of slightly different ways as individual cottages were built.
One fascinating feature is the brightly-coloured appearance of the render applied over the joins between the stones forming many of the cottages,
but not over the faces of the stones themselves, producing an odd patch-work effect."

This was taken from the old railway line that runs over the viaduct: a good place to start a walk to Portknockie and the Bow Fiddle Rock...!
