Northern shores of Tay, near Dundee...

... the place were young Mary Shelley formed castle in the air. Only some years later Dr. Frankenstein traveled along the Tay, followed by a monster. He visited Edinburgh, leaving after a week and passing through Coupar, St.Andrew's, and along the banks of the river Tay - stopping for a lunch in Newburgh, which is shown somewhere on this pic - to Perth. Some friends were expacting him there. But he didnot stay for too long, as he was impatient to arrive at the termination of his tour. Starting in Perth Doc F. crossed the Highlands and find a miserable hut on one of the remotest Orkney Islands. Arrived! ... to face the monster.

Orkney

This is Shapinsay, seen from Kirkwall harbour on Orkney Mainland. Sun is not West but North, it is July 21th, 23.00 h. The time when the ship come in travelling from Shetland or Aberdeen. Surprise: It is not dark at all. There is plenty light left to find B&B, Hotel or Youthostel. Darkness falls later than midnight or so, as I remember.

Whitby

Wonder if there is a better place to sit with an old typewriter and tell the world about vampiers than this place - is there a better place to tell world about vampiers than the cliffs of Whitby while watching the sea changing into a bloody mess?? Whitby is a small harbor half way in between Hull and Newcastle. Place is famous for Captain Cook, Count Dracula, Fish&Chips and dramatic evening skies.

North Yorkshire Moor

A fantastic route for bicycle cyclist: North Sea Cycle Route leads you up and down the hills of Yorkshire Moor National Parc. Reaching the top of the hills, what you finally see is sky, sky, sky and sky. Some 300 meters downhill you started to climb up at river Esk on waters way to the sea. The moor is located on the cycleway between Whiby Darlington.

Harwich

Harwich and Dovercourt are two towns at the English Northsea coast. Travellers on the Northsea Cycle Way pass by, when they change from or to European Continent. This places are brilliant boring. One can walk around, watch sundown, sky, ships and sea.
