We arrived on Sunday, but it's been too windy to get the awning up. Weather is improving. Our view of #bassrock from #C&CC #dunbar #eastlothian

A wander around North Berwick before the strong winds arrived #northberwick #eastlothian
This used to be the Camping and Caravanning Club Site at Barns Ness. We used to put the caravan near the trees in pic 1, and go through the gap in pic 2 for walks #Barnsness #C&CC #eastlothian #Scotland
A wander around Dunbar Harbour #Dunbar #eastlothian #Scotland
Walk in #eastlothian earlier today. Blissful moments without following the news. (Sadly the news have caught up with me again)
Aurora over the garden just now in #EastLothian
Inside the lovely Seton Collegiate Church in East Lothian. Its origins go back to 1242 and it was adapted in 1470 to become a collegiate church, in which a college of priests prayed for the souls of the benefactor and their family. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

One of two midget submarines, or XT-Craft, whose remains can still be seen at low tide in Aberlady Bay in East Lothian. They were moored here in 1946 and used as training targets by locally-based RAF aircraft. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...
Some of the Dunbar harbour wildlife inhabitants. At high tide the great black backed gulls, a male eider and a cormorant were all close in with Dunbar castle and its #RNLI flag, blowing in the breeze, as a backdrop.
Our local community #woodland is still surprisingly green still. Caught this #greysquirrel with what appears to be an acorn capsule in its mouth. I’ve been seeing a lot of grey squirrels around various #EastLothian woodlands recently - usually scurrying away!
Good moss hunting this weekend

Seton Collegiate Church in East Lothian, one of Scotland's finest surviving medieval collegiate churches: churches set up with a college of priests whose full-time job it was to pray for the souls of the founder and their family. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

I wasn’t expecting to see a #PaintedLady #Butterfly near Dunbar Harbour at the weekend. It was warming itself in the sun on the paving stones. This would be one of the new generation to emerge here this summer.
The superb beach at Seacliff, three miles east of North Berwick in East Lothian. This place is also home to a remarkable, tiny, harbour and the almost hidden ruins of a castle, plus amazing views of another. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Sauntered along Postman's walk in Aberlady yesterday. Scores of butterflies on the ivy lined path including 30+ red admirals. A nearby newly created wildflower meadow was bursting with plant & insect life (well done that farmer) @ukbutterflies.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social #eastlothian

Most of the waders were well out in the bay during my walk, but this Curlew was feeding a little closer in, giving me the chance to catch it with a worm in its beak.
