Day trip: Aberdour

May 30 2010

We hopped on the train last weekend and headed for Aberdour, one of the best beaches near Edinburgh.

Everyone else in Scotland and soon joined us at the beach for what was probably the best weather we’ll have all year. Most of them also piled into the queue for ice cream, neglected to apply sufficient sunscreen, and sported some sort of fake tan.

Here’s a few shots from the trip.
