The mysterious Burghead Well in Burghead in Moray, whose origins can only be guessed at. Was it intended as a water source for Burghead Promontory Fort, the Pictish fortress in whose lower ward or annex it would have been found? More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/bur

The remains of Burghead promontory fort at Burghead in Moray. The image shows a grassy area beyond a road and stone wall that cut across the bottom of the frame. There are buildings at the far end of the grassy area and a linear mound running along its right side, in line with the photographer. The scene is in sunlight.

'Happy Times', watercolour, 59 x 38 cms - a nostalgic look back about 30 years, painted as a commission. The village is Burghead, on the Moray Firth coast of northern Scotland.

A beach scene; the tide is far out and many puddles have formed in the sand, though which the reflections of the village on the headland can be seen. In the foreground, a father carries his small son on his shoulders as the boy waves to the passing aircraft - a Royal Air Force Nimrod.

The busy harbour at Burghead in Moray. The town has an ancient history and the large fortress whose remains can still be seen on the headland above the harbour was very probably the capital of the Pictish kingdom of Fortriu. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/bur

Burghead in Moray. The image shows a busy harbour in the foreground with lots of small leisure and fishing craft moored to the quayside, which is on the right of the frame. Beyond the quayside is a road and then houses and larger stone buildings. In the background the land rises to the right, with more buildings. The scene is in sunlight.

Ducks! Some are plain and familiar, some are drop-dead gorgeous. I can't remember being closer to a Long-tailed Duck, in fact there were three of them, in Burghead Harbour. Fabulous.

This photo is from earlier in the evening when the men of Burghead take turns to carry the burning Clavie through the streets. Not only is it an arduous task, due to the size & weight, it is also very dangerous. Regardless, they are all very keen to have their turn.

#Hogmanay #photo #photography #Burghead #Scotland

Black and white photo in the darkness, with only those closest to the burning Clavie illuminated and partially visible. Lots of Burghead men (I think it is always men) gather round the flaming Clavie to get their turn to carry it through the streets of the town.

I took this #photo many years ago, in my pre-digital phase. It is of the fire festival in Burghead called The Burning of the Clavie, which is celebrated every year on the old Hogmanay (January 11).

The burning Clavie (a wooden barrel containing staves covered in tar, mounted on a stand) is carried through the town, and eventually to the Doorie Hill. On the hill, more tar is added so the whole construction, and parts of the hill, are ablaze.

#Hogmanay #photography #Burghead #Scotland

A black & white photo with the reflected light from the blazing Clavie, illuminating the faces of onlookers. Two men standing close to the Clavie have just thrown on more tar, resulting in huge flames covering the ground, and going up into the sky.
