Fantastic set! So beautifully, almost hauntingly forlorn.
What are those houses like inside? A broad question I know, but can you modernize them with proper insulation, weather proofing etc.? I love the architecture but I imagine the ceilings are really low.

Thanks Shawn you would be surprised how modern those houses are inside they are better insulated and weatherproofed than a lot of the crap that's being built today.

are these vacation towns in the off season? kind of has that jersey shore in november vibe...
No not really most tourist that come to Scotland start in Edinburgh then head up the West coast .The east coast is relatively unknown it just doesn't have the dramatic scenery of the West but has a rugged bleakness I like.The first photo is of Pennan which was the film location for an 80s film Local Hero starring Burt Lancaster and does get the odd film buff but most of the towns and villages along the coast are ordinary working towns.
It looks... cold. There was (or maybe is) a Royal Marine base at Lossiemouth where my grandfather was stationed for a bit, but the cold is about all my mother remembers of it too.
Haunting, as I expected it would be. Thanks for the tour. The peripheral regions of Scotland have long been on my list of places to visit.
