Weekend Walks- Walking the Berwickshire Coastal Path over 2 days with a wild camp on Saturday night. During day 2 we walk from our campsite just past St. Abbs to Eyemouth and them continue on to the finish at Berwick upon Tweed. Calamity follows when I fall asleep on the bus back and miss my stop!

The Berwickshire Coastal Path stretches for some 30m / 48km, from Berwick upon Tweed to the south, over the English / Scottish Border, through Burnmouth and Eyemouth, around St Abb’s Head Nature Reserve as far as Cockburnspath. The route provides some superb hiking which includes dramatic cliff top scenery, stacks, ruined castles, fishing harbours, a smuggler’s bothy and St Abb’s Head nature reserve, which is notable for its birdlife. The northern end of the route links up with the Southern Upland Way near Cockburnspath.
Berwickshire has some of the highest, longest and most dramatic cliffs on the British coast, which make walking this path a challenging and dramatic experience. I completed the walk in 3.5 days in mid March and it was my first wild camped trail. You can find a full trip report and kit list in the Trails section of my blog.
Wherever you go stay safe, check the weather, plan ahead, let people know where you are going, take maps & compass with your gps and follow the countryside or access codes for where you are.

Jim's Coastal Path Walk around UK - Day 229
I am a 70 years old gritty Yorkshireman from Hull. I am on the last stage of my west coast walk from Carlisle to Lands End. The next stage will be from Lands End to Dover before heading back up North to Grimsby in Linclonshire, and then to Scotland to walk the entire 1,500 miles coastal path from Gretna Green to Berwick on Tweed via John O'Goats. The full walk is 5,000 miles. I am 40% of the way having completed 2,000 miles so far. Please enjoy my Vlog and share it with your friends.

Eyemouth is a small town and civil parish in Berwickshire, in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland. It is 2 miles east of the main north-south A1 road and just 8 miles north of Berwick-upon-Tweed. Eyemouth is very nearly due east of Glasgow. In fact Eyemouth's latitude is 55.8691°N, whilst Glasgow's is 55.8642°N, so Eyemouth is about 600 yards further north.
The town's name comes from its location at the mouth of the Eye Water. The Berwickshire coastline consists of high cliffs over deep clear water with sandy coves and picturesque harbours. A fishing port, Eyemouth holds a yearly Herring Queen Festival. Notable buildings in the town include Gunsgreen House and a cemetery watch-house built to stand guard against the Resurrectionists (body snatchers). Many of the features of a traditional fishing village are preserved in the narrow streets and 'vennels', giving shelter from the sea and well-suited to the smuggling tradition of old.
Eyemouth is not far from the small villages of Ayton, Reston, St. Abbs, Coldingham and Burnmouth. The coast offers opportunities for birdwatching, walking, fishing and diving. Accommodation includes several hotels, B&Bs and a holiday park. The geology of the area shows evidence of folding that led James Hutton to announce that the surface of the earth had changed dramatically over the ages.
Other places of interest nearby include the fortifications of Berwick-upon-Tweed also designed by Sir Richard Lee, and its military museum, Paxton House, the Union Bridge and the Chain Bridge Honey Farm, and scores of quiet country roads skirting the Cheviot Hills, frequently snow-capped in winter. Many visitors pause on their journey on the A1 to photograph their arrival in Scotland or their departure to England at the border crossing. Though the border has significance to many visitors, most local people think of themselves as 'Borderers' rather than as Scots or English. Nearby the border is a nature trail through the mysteriously named 'Conundrum' Farm. Typical Border towns and villages, such as Kelso, Grantshouse, Abbey St Bathans, Cove, Cockburnspath (pronounced 'coburnspath' or 'copath' by locals), Cornhill, Wooler, Morpeth, Alnmouth and Alnwick are all within easy reach for day trips from Eyemouth. Near Chirnside stood Ninewells House, since demolished, where David Hume, whom many regard as foremost among the philosophers of the Scottish Enlightenment, if not the greatest of all time, spent much of his life.
( Eyemouth - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Eyemouth . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Eyemouth - UK

Jim's Coastal Path Walk around the UK - Day 467
The Walk fro Cockburnspath to Dunbar was another splendid walk, but in extreme heat and strong winds. I had a choice of walking the busy A1 trunk road from London to Edinburgh or finding a path on the coast. I chose the John Muir Link which was recommended to me earlier. A stunning walk in the cruel heat.

Old Photographs Cockburnspath Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Cockburnspath a village in the Scottish Borders. It lies near the North Sea coast between Berwick upon Tweed and Edinburgh. It is at the eastern extremity of the Southern Upland Way a long distance walking footpath from the west to east coast of Scotland. It is also the termini of the Sir Walter Scott Way and the Berwickshire Coastal Path. At the nearby village of Cove, there is a small fishing harbour. In the 19th century Cockburnspath was a favourite summer haunt of many Scottish artists who painted the village, farm workers and the surrounding scenery. The village's picturesque scenery captivated both James Guthrie and Edward Arthur Walton who shared a house there in 1883. Dunglass castle, just to the west, was the home of the geologist Sir James Hall who, in the Spring of 1788, joined John Playfair and James Hutton in a boat trip from Dunglass Burn east along the coast looking for evidence to support Hutton's theory that rock formations were laid down in an unending cycle over immense periods of time. The railway station opened in 1846 and closed in 1951. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.

Brit Marling :
Do you know that story about the Russian cosmonaut?
So, he goes up in this big spaceship
And he's got this portal window
And he's looking out of it
And he sees the curvature of the Earth for the first time
And all of a sudden, this strange ticking
And it's coming out of the dashboard
(Okay, yeah)
But he can't find it, he can't stop it
It keeps going
A few hours into this, begins to feel like torture
What's he gonna do?
He's up in space!
So the cosmonaut decides
The only way to save his sanity
Is to fall in love with this sound
East Highland Way (Roybridge - Kinloch Laggan)
Second day and another 42 km of East Highland Way through-hike.
After early start and in good weather the walk was so great that I managed to reach end of Loch Laggan and camped on the beach.
The path led through forests and valleys, with very little roadwalking. It was really good day.
