The gaunt ruins of Fast Castle, clinging grimly to cliffs overlooking the North Sea north-west of St Abbs in the Scottish Borders. A castle was first recorded here in 1333, though the site may have been fortified for centuries by then. More pics and info: https://t.co/jjTF5oLpFw
41 soothing minutes from St Abbs on a still night. This is a special place. No road noise. No planes. Just birds and the sea.

For keen walkers, why not explore nearby St Abbs Head, a national nature reserve, or challenge yourself to complete ‘The Smugglers’ Trail’ along the Berwickshire Coastal Path from Burnmouth to Cove. You can check availability and pricing at https://t.co/kFhhPztrO2
Found this lovely Paddyfield Warbler at Mire Loch, St Abbs Head, Borders this afternoon - was present until dusk and roosted in the bullrushes by the boathouse. Nice to hear it call too, a tack with a hint of a chack. Bring on the autumn!
Great to see so much going on this Summer! Our local @EyeHerringQueen Festival is back with a fun packed week of activities & entertainment and the wonderful @PaxtonHouse are hosting their annual celebration of Chamber Music the same week so even more reasons to visit our area!
Thanks to everyone who celebrated our signing ceremony last week.
