Today the weather was fantastic for this time of the year, it was warm enough for tea-shirts. Dunbar was an interesting town with a natural harbour protected by some outcrops of rock. Dunbar seems to be the midway point between Edinburgh and the border at Berwick-upon-Tweed.

I have had an enjoyable three night stay in North Berwick at the Richmond Cottage B&B. The accommodation was extremely comfortable and by hosts, Brenda and Franc were very friendly and made me feel at home.

I leave Longniddry and follow the coastline round to Aberlady Bay. From here I follow the Trail into the RSPB Nature Reserve. You are requested to keep to the paths so as not to disturb the wildlife. I eventually take to the beach which I walk along to Gullane Bay.

I start today at the Ocean Terminal in Leith, the home of the Royal Yacht Britannia. I was surprised to see that the terminal was part of a big shopping complex. I nipped into the complex and found a viewing platform by a coffee shop where I could take some pictures.

I have decided to do something which I did not originally plan to do. Because of a number of things that have happened during this year which meant me taking more time out than planned, and the daylight hours are getting shorter, I will skip round to Edinburgh to continue my walk down the east coast. But do not worry I will be back next year to complete the stretch from Ullapool to Edinburgh.

Life in the slow lane
Mad dogs and Englishmen decide to walk the coast of Britain! I don't think I'm a mad dog but many think I'm a mad Englishman!
