A spot of shinrin-yoku with friends on an estate renowned amongst other things for being the home of Byron`s mother. The Gight Estate is now a wildlife reserve under the aegis of the Scottish Wildlife Trust. A very warm, muggy afternoon meant a slow stroll was the order of the day, in amongst venerable trees,
and interesting plants (the youngest member of the party being particularly interested in the numerous bugs).
Ruined buildings spoke of former pomp
while more pragmatic modern solutions had been found for what, in the winter, tends to be boggy ground
and for crossing the River Ythan which runs through the estate and beside which a picnic was taken. We even had a picnic blanket! (Thank you M)
Altogether a most relaxing few hours.
