Day 5 Monday 14 April
Up early this morning to head off to Edinburgh. Freezing cold but brilliant sunshine. Decided to detour to Holy Island as tides were right. You only have a smallish window to get across the causeway and back! This is where Lindisfarne was founded. It was so busy but so worth the effort!
Didn’t stay too long as a bit nervous about causeway flooding, plus hundreds of people there so didn’t want to be leaving at the same time!
Decided to head up to Berwick on Tweed, what a gorgeous place. Saw Berwick Castle
Crossed the border into Scotland and yep! Got the first rain of our trip!
Onto Dunbar, just outside of Edinburgh - lovely seaside village. Some photos of Dunbar castle and the old garrison/hospital. The water in the harbour was crystal
Arrived in Edinburgh, still raining!
Just catching up on your travels now Trish and looks like you’re having a great time! Hope it doesn’t get too cold and wet! Enjoy xx
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Scotland!!! That's great you got to Holy Island, it looks fasinating and the road across the causeway obviously interesting. I know you were keen to get over there so it's good you persisted!!! So many castles, so many walls, so many ruins, so much history, what a great Blog!!
ReplyDeleteTweed River and flooding causeways, must make you think of home. All looks lovely and green xx
