Spume

A Doric A-Z: S revisited, yet again

Doric, the dialect spoken in the North-East of Scotland is rich in words and phrases associated with the land and the sea.

SEA-GUST: Salt spume driven by wind on to the land.

This was the view this morning at Cransdale, the bay just to the north of the village of Collieston. Frank has whipped up large amounts of spume which are being driven ashore by the southerly wind, over buildings and up steep roads!

My plan was to drive down to the bay to photograph the waves, but I retreated!
