Ferghas' Adventures
Ferghas the Highland Cow trotted up to Covesea Viewpoint, eager to see the sea. "Ooh, look at that lighthouse!" he mooed, inching closer to the edge. But then a gust of wind whooshed past his horns. "Och, maybe not!" he said, backing up quickly. "Better safe than soggy!" He found a comfy patch of grass, sat down, and enjoyed the view from a safe distance, just like a clever cow should.
The view here was incredible, the next time i visit i plan on doing the full walk from Lossiemouth to Hopeman 🐮
