Burnside of Crombie
The farm is one of few still occupied. In the distance, Crombie Castle, 15 kilometres from the coast, has almost vanished in the haar (sea-fret).

Burnside of Crombie
This farm house is in good repair, having escaped the fate of so many buildings in the surrounding area. Note the haar (sea-fret) rolling down the hillside to the left of the buildings.

Brae of Crombie
When I saw this croft I assumed that it was abandoned, though not so long ago because the car is an F-registered Lada (1988-9). However I have been contacted by the present owners, and I am delighted to be told that I am wrong, and that they are returning there to restore it to its former glory, which is great news.
The box in the foreground is a safe manufactured by Ratners, Bankers' Engineers, London. I was intrigued and puzzled to find it lying on its back in an uncultivated field halfway up a hill in Banffshire. The owners tell me that it was in the barn when they bought the croft, and the seller undertook to remove it, but only got this far before having to give up the attempt!

Brae of Crombie
The 1871 Ordnance Survey map of 1871 shows numerous crofts on the land named Mains of Crombie, and according to the 1:25,000 map this is one of two named Brae of Crombie. This is one of few left standing, but it too has been abandoned. The effect of the haar (sea-fret) contrasted with the sunshine on the buildings is quite eerie.

Brae of Crombie
The farm stands high on the slope of Meikle Brown Hill. It should have a fine view, but today there is a very typical phenomenon of the early summer in eastern Scotland - a haar (sea-fret), reaching well inland on a northerly breeze.
