Apparently the coast here is a hot-spot for "exhilarating" storms:

"Banffshire Coastal Tourism Partnership said: "What better way to
experience nature and the beauty of Banff's coast than to see the
power of a storm."

Pretty stupid , is this. The more you think abouut it, the more stupid
it seems. In fact, the *only* reason I can think they might be saying
it is desperation to get a mention - ANY mention - in the media.

If that's the best that Banff can offer - a one in 1,000 or worse
chance that I'll be there when a spectacular storm is occurring - and
that I'll be able to be outdoors watching it at the time, I won't be
heading there anytime soon!
