Tides of Time - At Alness

23rd July 2009

Mud flats, sand and gravel - areas of transition between the earth, sea and sky. Rivers meet tides, sand and silt creep seaward, and the finest layer of water on mud reflects the ever changing skies. The shores of the Cromarty Firth which are recognised places of scientific significance, habitats for many wild creatures: birds, mammals and invertebrates, are also rich in history and myth, stories of marine activity and Selkies abound in folklore of the area.
