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.

Breaking free and paving my own way.
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!
