22 Nov. 2005 - Bothal, Northumberland.
It was very frosty this morning with freezing fog so we went for a walk through the fields to Bothal to take some photos. It was very calm and everywhere was eerily white and silent.
Below is a view towards Bothal Village, which would normally be visible from here, but is hidden in mist.

19 Nov. 2005 - Amble, Northumberland.
Today we visited Amble for a walk around the harbour at sunset and what a lovely sunset it was as the sky turned orange and reflected on the water, seen here from halfway along the breakwater to the pier.

07 Nov. 2005 - River Tweed, Coldstream, Scotland.
One of the three places we visited today was the town of Coldstream on the north bank of the River Tweed, just over the Border in Scotland. We walked from the town centre along the riverside footpath to the road bridge over the river.

07 Nov. 2005 - Flodden, Northumberland.
We visited Flodden Battlefield today, scene of one the bloodiest battles between England and Scotland - over 14,000 soldiers were left dead or dying here in a single day in 1513, including King James iv of Scotland.
Below is a view along the marshy ground where most of the battle took place and close to the point where King James is thought to have died.

07 Nov. 2005 - Twizel, Northumberland.
We also visited Twizel today, where the bridge over the River Till was used by the English Army on their way to the Battle of Flodden. Nearby is Twizel Castle - not a castle at all but a folly that was never completed.
Below are photos of the bridge and castle.

01 Nov. 2005 - Eyemouth, Berwickshire, Scotland.
Today we visited Eyemouth on the Berwickshire Coast in Scotland. Eyemouth is still a busy fishing port and the harbour is a nice place to visit and stroll around. Like most small fishing ports there is always something going on, including a man training seals to jump from the water for food when we were there.
Below is a view of the harbour entrance and the Eyemouth Lifeboat.

01 Nov. 2005 - St. Abbs, Berwickshire, Scotland.
After visiting Eyemouth we moved a little further along the coast to St. Abbs, where the weather turned a bit dull. Also a fishing port and popular with divers and day visitors it's also a pleasant place to spend an hour or two.
Below is a view of some fishing boats moored in the harbour.
