Only a few minutes up the coast today a short tri from Latheronwheel is Lybster Harbour once one of the largest North Sea Herring ports in the area. Posted for the North Coast 500 Group!

Herring processing plant and smoke house on the quayside at Lybster Harbour, It is now Waterlines Heritage Center. Note the smoke stained walls around the entrance to the smoke house (on the right) A fascinating history, Link, www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/lybster/waterlines/index.html Another image posted for the North Coast 500 Group

Lybster Harbour from half way up the steep hill which is the only way up to the village, A large view is rather rewarding in my opinion Posted for the North Coast 500 group

Fishing never stops, this was taken on a Sunday afternoon at Lybster Harbour. Caithness. Note the Creels stacked on the quayside. I rather like the reflections in this image!

We end our day in Lybster with an evening image taken just after a major thunder storm had passed over. Added for the North Coast 500 Group Large may be better

Our journey north continues with a visit to the small but beautiful harbour at Latheronwheel in Caithness, the bright sun caused some lighting issues but not enough to spoil the images I hope, A large view may be rewarding Uploaded as a part of our journey following the North Coast 500 route and uploaded to the North Coast 500 Group.

The narrow Latheronwheel Harbour entrance in shadow, This was once one of the many east coast herring ports.

The road down to the harbour and the bridge, Herring used to be carried up this road in the days of the "Silver Darlings"

The bridge at Latheronwheel in Caithness as we continue our North Coast 500 Journey, Herb is travelling the route clockwise while I use the opposite way around, we expect to pass around Durness.
