After the evening run to Methlick, Mary & I took a trip out that way to the Gight House Hotel at lunchtime. Just before Methlick, something caught our eye in a field on the left and brought us to a screeching stop......
The field was full of curious looking animals which we assumed were llamas:
However, after seeing the weekend papers, I've realised they were probably alpacas!
If you are interested in more info, see British Alpaca Society
They seemed quite friendly and didn't mind a close-up snap:
Nice view of Bennachie on the way home behind Folla Rule:
