Heritage and fun on the shoreline
Black Pots Playground, Whitehills的点评
点评：This amazing playground, with 200 years worth of historical connections, is a real gem between the caravan park and harbour of Whitehills, about 5 miles from Banff.
I was first drawn to this playground more than 20 years ago when my family were staying at the caravan park. Even then, it contained a huge variety of clever play equipment for youngsters. It's right next to the shore and the latest pieces of equipment include many links to Whitehills's history as a fishing village. Most startling is a four-way crow's nest I - sadly - had no excuse for climbing as there were no youngsters around but, oh, how I wished I was six again.
This area is steeped in history and the good folk of the village have kindly provided an information board which explains the heritage and the name. It also explains why Whitehills appears to have a second, smaller, harbour very near the main one.
Where the lovely little caravan park is now was once the Blackpots Brick and Tile works (between 1766 and 1974). At various times, they made roof tiles, bricks and field drains from the red clay round about and the wee harbour was used to export the goods while bringing in coal to feed the manufacturing process. It certainly explains all the rusty-coloured, sea-worn rocks and pebbles among the more regular ones right at the edge of the sea.
There was, at one time, even a small narrow-guage railway here! That's 200 years' worth of history that would be lost to most of us visitors without the board, and it certainly stirred the imagination and had us looking out for the older tiles throughout the village.
Fishing and the sea are still among big attractions, but the stories of the hidden gems are so fascinating and add to the joy of a place. It's also something to do while the kids are shinning up the crow's nest.

翻译：这个令人惊叹的游乐场有着 200 年的历史渊源，是位于怀特希尔斯大篷车公园和港口之间的一颗真正的瑰宝，距离班夫约 5 英里。
我第一次被这个游乐场吸引是在 20 多年前，当时我的家人住在大篷车公园。即使在那时，它也为孩子们提供了各种巧妙的游乐设备。它就在岸边，最新的设备包括许多与怀特希尔斯作为渔村的历史相关的内容。最令人吃惊的是四向瞭望台，遗憾的是，我没有理由爬上去，因为周围没有孩子，但是，哦，我多么希望自己能回到六岁。
该地区历史悠久，村里的好心人好心地提供了一个信息板，解释了遗产和名字。这也解释了为什么怀特希尔斯似乎在主港口附近有一个较小的第二个港口。
现在这个可爱的小旅行车公园所在的地方曾经是 Blackpots 砖瓦厂（建于 1766 年至 1974 年之间）。他们曾在不同时期用周围的红粘土制作屋顶瓦片、砖块和田间排水沟，小港口用于出口货物，同时运入煤炭来为制造过程提供原料。这当然解释了为什么海边的岩石和鹅卵石中夹杂着锈色的、被海水侵蚀的岩石和鹅卵石。
这里曾经有一条小型窄轨铁路！如果没有这块木板，我们大多数游客都无法了解这 200 年的历史，这无疑激发了我们的想象力，让我们在村子里寻找古老的瓷砖。
钓鱼和大海仍然是一大景点，但隐藏的宝石的故事是如此迷人，为这个地方增添了乐趣。当孩子们在瞭望台上玩耍时，这也是一件值得做的事情。
