Donkey Rides on Ettrick Bay?
Posted: Sunday, 11 November 2007 |
We spotted four donkeys in a field near Ettrick Bay (a third grey one out of shot). Do you think there's going to be donkey rides on the beach next year? I don't think I've seen these donkeys around the island before (they're not the ones from Ballianlay or The Straad).

What is it about donks that make you just want to give them a big furry hug and tell them 'there there everything's going to be ok' when they are obviously happy and well cared-for...
Flying Cat from can I have one please?
Those donkeys were well patted on the head, I can tell you. Still didn't crack a smile, though.

Oooooohh, they are lovely. Just imagine taking a ride on a donkey cart for several days! Travelling the local countryside and you could, I am positive, see everything at a relaxing pace. Lovely photo!

Parental units have strolled on the beach at St Cyrus. No donks though.

Which daft poet was it called them, "The Devil's living parody on all four footed things." PS; not redeemed by the nativity verse either.

Healthy looking donkeys. They look youngish - or do they always have that fresh Sunday look?

For a mere quid we now possess a wonderful book called 'A Passion for Donkeys' which tells everything anyone might want to know about these delightful equine creatures. Even 'how to age your donkey'. Must catfully refrain from comments along the lines of 'work them hard and don't look after them properly...'

Aha...in that case, you could have been 'Shakin' All Over.' Especially on a donkey...
