Today was to be a day of walking the coastline. We started with a repeat of our walk to the golf club along the beach at North Berwick.
Bass Rock can just be seen on the horizon in these pictures
After lunch, we drove North along the coast, stopping at Port Seton and walking along the coast to Cockenzie and back. We kept seeing mention of John Muir Way, of which this coastal trail is a small section. The walk goes from coast to coast across Scotland and is named after the naturalist who was born in Scotland, but moved to America, where he made his name.
We then drove on to Portobello, parking on the outskirts of the town, walking along the beach and circling back through the town centre to the car.
No! This is not Brock, but 14-year-old Gracie, whom we met with her owners on Portobello promenade. We all had to do a double-take at the similarity between the two dogs.
Pottery Kilns, seen from the beach. These kilns were recently rebuilt, but they date to 1909, at the former site of A W Buchan & Co. Pottery. They represent the last surviving upstanding
remnants of the pottery industry in Scotland.
