Wednesday walk

The dogs and I walked around North Berwick Law yesterday.  Lots of lovely things to see, near and far - a great assortment of wild flowers, moon daisies, richly purple tufted vetch, greater bird's-foot-trefoil, wild thyme beloved of bees, and views across to the North Sea and Fife.

In the photo above you can just see Tantallon Castle in the distance, and below the last few remaining beech trees, planted in 1707 to commemorate the beginning of the Act of Union between Scotland and England.  It is believed locally that once the trees have fallen, the Union between the two countries is broken.  The trees are hanging on by a thread - and these days, so is the Union!
