Wave Watcher - Hopeman Harbour from East Beach |
The north and east coasts of Scotland were battered by what is being described as "the perfect storm" overnight last Friday/Saturday - spring tides, high tide and gale force winds from the north east.

There was a lot of sea damage done to the coastal communities - Hopeman seems to have come off quite lightly in comparison to some.

Here are some photo's taken the morning after - when the wild sea had not quite died down and the wind was still blowing in from the icy north.
