So we stopped over at Fraserburgh to see the museum of lighthouses, and they had a very convenient car park with a lovely view of the sea etc, a little bit sloping in places and a couple of boy racers had parked up early on, so we decided to stop the night. The boy racers moved from their flatter spot so we moved the van there and set up for the night, then strolled into town for liquid and solid refreshments. On our return to the van there were some more boy racers around but not seeming to do anything else except sit in their cars with the engines running and music on, so we settled down to watch a film before bedding down. The boy racers moved about a bit, came and went several times, and even seemed to turn their music down when they parked up near us, very thoughtful we thought... One or two seemed to park facing us with their headlights on, but it didn't spoil our film, so no real concern there. Bed time beckoned and we went into the rear of the van but left our front screens open and I drifted off quite easily to sleep, helped slightly by Wetherspoon's liquid refreshment from earlier on!!
My better half appeared restless but I just ignored her as usual, however some time later I was aware of some dull thumps, and put it down to waves crashing on the shore. In the morning I got up to make our cups of tea, and noticed the sea gulls had been busing messing on the windscreen, so I exited to wash it off and found eggs shells on my wipers and down the front of the van, it became clear then that those thumps I had heard was the young infant drivers expressing their frustration at us parking in their spots, and had thrown a couple of eggs onto our windscreen.
I washed off the crud before the sun baked the mess into a cake, and we mentioned the issue to staff at the Museum, learning that the boy racers were particularly untidy with dumping their litter, and annoying visitors to the museum by reversing up to the entrance door and leaving their engines running to send fumes into the reception area and frighten the foreign visitors away.
The childish behavior of these individual did nothing to enhance attraction of Fraserburgh, and although we thoroughly enjoyed the lighthouse museum experience, it is unlikely that we will bother to visit the area again.
