He is not actually using a shovel, that is a broom.  He is tidying up, bless him.  He soon lost that habit.

Nah. Solid virign rock. Also ( what you can't tell from the photo ) beyond that wooden shuttering is a 1m wide lane - so not quite as close to the neighbour as you may think.

It is - it's an old sand dune, but the sea hasn't been anywhere near for hundreds of years, sea is now about 6 miles away.

 

We added 600T of top soil to it for landscaping

I was born in Elgin and grew up in Lossiemouth. Lovely part of the World.

I came kicking and screaming with the RAF, to Lossiemouth, been here nearly 26 years now, it's great.

If it is the same as ours then it is nothing to do with the sea, but is glacial. When the glaciers formed rivers of meltwater they crushed rocks and carried boulders and sand with them. They dropped it as they went. These are called eskers and can be up to 50m thick.

Our ground is mostly single sized, rounded sand, with some beds of gravel, and extremely dense. Like soft rock to break through, but then crumbles to sand.
