Preston Cross. The image shows the circular stone base with the shaft of the mercat cross on top of it, in the centre of the frame. There is a painted unicorn on top of the shaft. The base is surrounded by a square cobbled area, and then grass, with low stone walls behind and to the right, with a road further on the right. There are bungalows in the background.
Preston Cross, often said to be the finest mercat cross in Scotland. Erected in the early 1600s, it still stands on its original site, though the world around it has changed in a way that now makes its location look quite odd. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Bass Rock seen from the superb beach at Seacliff in East Lothian. The image shows a large rocky island in the middle distance with a lighthouse on the left-hand front face. There are waves breaking nearer the viewer and in the foreground is a strip of beach and a low outcrop of reddish rock.
Bass Rock seen from the superb beach at Seacliff in East Lothian, a place that comes complete with a ruined castle and a contender for the title of Scotland's smallest harbour. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Scribed orienteering map of an area of open dunes and slow sycamore woodland on sandy soils. A lot of green woodland with clearings and most of the dunes are rough open. A big golf course (yellow) lies to the south and the north is bounded by the Firth of Forth.
Gullane Dunes and Archerfield Estate 1979. Much of the area - the wooded bit to the east has been lost to golf and the big southern open area is the famous Muirfield course. Dunes are still used and hosted the Scottish Championships. #OldOrienteeringMap #Orienteering #Map #Interlopers #EastLothian

Common Toads (Bufo bufo) now spawning. Here are a few little portrait shots of them. Much more cooperative than frogs. These were taken today at the ponds in Saltoun Big Wood, East Lothian.

The #housesparrows are always around the creels at #DunbarHarbour. Despite feeling so common, the UK population has declined by 71% since 1977 (BTO) due to loss of nesting sites, fewer insects for chicks, and disease.

There were lots of beautiful linnets too!
It isn't just water quality that should concern us at our beaches.
A two bags haul today of glass from (supposedly) one of scotland's best beaches in #EastLothian.
A useful dog walk though.

A sunny walk on the #EastLothian coast this morning: 1) Fidra with its Stevenson lighthouse; 2) on the shoreline; 3) a Linnet; 4) South Dog & Lamb, Craigleith and the Bass Rock.
Oil painting, 1938 landscape (William E Reid signature).
Oil painting of three young women around a table. I particularly like the one on the right, who is fed up. Signature is tiny and illegible, and I am not going to mess around trying to clean it more than I have. It's shabbily splendid as it is.
Latest treasure from #SamBurns #EastLothian. I've cleaned them up a little, and the frames are on order so these are screenshots, but a massive hit of happy for a fiver each.
