Caption: | The Cabrach moor on the road from Rhynie to Dufftownoffer some of Aberdeenshire and Morayshire bleakest landscapes especially during a nasty winter day. A few ruined crofts or farms can be seen and evidence of past Highland clearances as well as illustrating the hard life of farming in this unfertile moorland where in today’s harsh economic climate even sheep farming is a struggle. |
