Thursday 17 September: I could do with a leg-stretch after the long drive, and I’m surplus to requirements for an hour or so – I’ll take a short walk down to the harbour, then along the coastal path for a little way. The light is warming as I wander – is that a Scottish Ayers Rock down there?

Landmarks local to Dunbar, where we’ve been for a few days: the bridge at Belhaven is useful when the tide is out… In the distance (about 6.5 miles / 10km) is the Bass Rock, home to an astonishing number of gannets.

We arrived home this afternoon, after a drive of over 300 miles, so that will have to do for now. More photos tomorrow.
