Tiger Hill
Tiger Hill is the largest sand dune at Fraserburgh beach. There are different theories as to how it got its name. One is that it looks a little like a crouched tiger. The other involves actual tigers. It’s said that four fighting tigers were used to ward off Viking invaders in the past, and that the animals were then buried where the dune is now.
Whatever the truth, Tiger Hill is beautiful.
Sunrise
Yesterday’s sunrise was beautiful too. It lit up the town.
I loved the pinks and blues of the sky.
TENDU Aesthetic
The Wee Writing Lassie made this TikTik for TENDU, capturing many elements of the story:
An Autistic Dancer, a Byronic Hero and an Obsessive Scientist
Read my series A Dancer’s Journey. There’s ballet. There’s lots of naughtiness. And there’s peril!
Enjoy a kiss on the London tube in the first book, TENDU. Romp up and down the castle stairs. Dance in a stone circle. Attend a Ceilidh in the great hall. Have your brain studied in the dungeon. All fun, I assure you. Well, not quite all…

Oh wow that’s so beautiful I almost cried looking at it
I find sunrises and sunsets really emotive too.
From high up or on a beach as it breaks
Glorious.
It was 🙂
Looks magically perfect…
It was that sort of morning.
That’s a beautiful sunrise, Ailish. I really admire tigers, and it’s amazing to me that they were used to help fight off the Vikings.
It would take some quite extensive digging to find out if the story is true!
It surely would.
Great shots, Ailish! I can’t believe I had no idea the dune had a name. I’ve been up and down it since I was in nappies
Now, that’s a hard climb 🙂
But it’s a fun one if you like climbing!
Great view from the top too.
Definitely!
Thanks for the lovely photos.
I’m glad you like them 🙂
Quite beautiful! Greetings from Dallas where we are about to celebrate Thanksgiving! I’m grateful for all my connections across the ocean!
How lovely 🙂 Have a great holiday, Dorothy!
Fantastic photos, Ailish! I wish I could be there to see those views!
We do get some good sunrises at this time of year. I hope you see some soon too 🙂
Interesting tale about the tigers vs. Vikings battle royale. But why did they bury the poor beasts afterward?
I can only surmise that the tigers died in the battle, or at a later date, and some sort of fighting-pet cemetery was created.
Now it’s only one aspect of your post, but those are some excellent photographs.
Thank you, Fitz 🙂
Look great perfect. So beautiful Sunrise.
It was a stunning sunrise.
Yes,I Like!
