Montrose Basin Sunset qax5680jhp Montrose basin Scotland water autumn orange sunset clouds colourful a major town south of Aberdeen in the North East of Scotland which has a developed harbour with oil and offshore renewals support facilities. The harbour has a long history of supporting trade across the North Sea with my own forebears working in the wood shipping trade in the 1800’s. A WW2 airfield of note with contemporary museum, beautiful beach, strong academic history, golf course and many other attractions on offer. The basin at Montrose, a tidal inland lake is rich with bird life especially as a roosting area for geese in the winter months. This view is from the railway station on the main east coast line from Aberdeen to Edinburgh and further south to London.
