Sunrise at Dunnottar

 We were up at 3am for the sunrise.  We knew we wanted sunrise photos, but I think we forget that during the summer the sun is up for for longer, and also earlier.  So to get photos at the moment of sunrise at 4:19am, we had to get up, drive from the hotel, walk down to the castle and set up our equipment by 4am for the beginning light.  And while the temperature that day was going to be in the 70s like most days, I had not packed for the 40s that morning. My legs were numb and I was close to giving up to reheat in the car, but I stuck through it! 


The clouds obstructed the initial sun, which was a bit of a bummer, but it was still beautiful.  Since we were the only ones there, we went down to the beach and had a fun photoshoot as well. 


From there, we drove a little down the way to the Stovenhaven War Memorial, a local World Wars memorial.  It was in a very picturesque spot on the top of Black Hill, overlooking the sea, with yellow wildflowers surrounding.  Dunnottar Castle could be seen in the distance, and with the sun fully shining now, it was very charming. 


After this, we headed back to Glasgow.  I think we were completely tired out, because we didn't even touch our SD cards when we got home!
