High Tides - damage and flooding - Nairn Saturday 15th December

Today's high tides came in on a fairly agitated sea, the result of bad weather elsewhere. The first one overnight left a considerable amount of debris on the dunes and the promenade. The one just around 1 p.m. caused severe damage to the path below the Golf View however and the Nairn Golf Club car park was underwater this evening. Pictures of the debris earlier today here

That is some serious damage on the promenade below the Golf View Hotel.

Yes reminds me of similar in the early? eighties I think. That time huge chunks were completely ripped away along by the Invernairn Hotel.
I imagine it won't be easy to find the cash for repairs this time round.

Great pictures Gurn.
Well captured as I missed the whole thing. Looks as if my Golf View walks to the baths will be curtailed for a few months unless the council get some urgent funding to fix the damage. I will not hold my breath in the current economic climate.
