Roseisle is a beautiful place. The beach is golden and stretches for miles between Findhorn and Burghead, and every time I’ve been there, the sky has been bright blue.
It was the perfect place for me to visit recently. I had to come off my latest medication due to side effects, and I was frightened that I was experiencing the first signs of becoming unwell. This stage of chronic illness is always a balancing act between resting and getting things done while I can. So, I gallivanted gently, and so far, I am still well 🙂
Roseisle Beach
There are pillboxes and concrete blocks all along the beach, defences left in place from the Second World War. People use them as shelters and picnic tables today.
Roseisle Forest
The forest, planted in the 1930s, is rather magnificent too.
In the open area, there are picnic tables, and toilets, and even a food truck; the skin-on fries were very good.

I did gallivant on a little further up the coast:

Fantastic pictures, Ailish. It’s good that you can be out observing such beauty. Beat wishes for your chronic illness.
Thank you, Tim 🙂
How interesting that the fortifications are still in place. The forest might be a better example of permanency, though.
I hope so.
what a lovely way to recharge one’s soul.
It was 🙂
I see the pill box and other coastal defences prominent — they’re all over the UK once you start looking for them. Very nice photos
Yes, they are present all along the coast here.
Beautiful!
I’m glad you liked 🙂
Alish, I fondly follow your blog and look forward to your postings. With your photos and descriptive writing, I often feel as if I am walking with you on your galavants. I sincerely wish you comfort as you struggle with your chronic illness.
Sincerely,
Doray
Thank you so much, Doray. I’m really glad you enjoy the posts 🙂
It occurs to me that your blog would make an I interesting show or travel book. I’m not a producer and don’t know for sure, but the idea does come to mind.
I do like to don that tourist-guide hat at times!
What an absolutely gorgeous place, Ailish. It takes my breath away. Thanks for the view!
It is a lovely place.
The pictures are amazing. I love trees, given I’m housebound 90% of the time, my husband and I have created our own little forest in our garden. Trees are medicine
Your forest sounds wonderful. I find trees therapeutic too.
