North Berwick Law
It is located on the southern edge of the Scottish port of North Berwick on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth. It is a 187 meter high volcanic cone of basalt, the remains of a volcano that was active millions of years ago. Law is the Scottish word for the volcanic cones found elsewhere.
the summit was marked until 2005 with two whale jaws. In 2005 they fell apart and collapsed.
On the summit there are ruins of some buildings that were used as a lookout during the Napoleonic Wars.
You can enjoy a great view from up here.

The Aberlady Parish Church is a church building of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland in the Scottish town of Aberlady in the Council Area East Lothian.
n the vicinity of the site there has been a religious centre since early Christian times. Since the 7th century Culdeer probably settled near today's Luffness House. In the late 16th century a Carmelite fortress was built there. The oldest fragments of the Aberlady Parish Church date back to the 15th century. In 1773 the nave was demolished and rebuilt. The 16th and 17th century annexes on the north side have been preserved and were supplemented on the south side to form two complete transepts. In the 1880s Francis Wemyss-Charteris, 9th Earl of Wemyss commissioned the Scottish architect William Young to redesign Gosford House. At the same time, he also arranged for Young to redesign the Aberlady Parish Church in 1886.

made this find on the way back.
The sea must be used for everything possible and impossible, environmental protection does not seem to be an everyday occurrence up here!

on the way at the Gullane Beach near Gullane
the town of Gullane is best known for its golf courses, but also has a great sandy beach overlooking the Firth of Forth. The beach is perfect for windsurfing, hang gliding and picnics.
There are several possibilities for hiking in the area, a path behind the beach leading through the sand dunes.

The far view to Fidra Island
Fidra is an uninhabited island in the Firth of Forth. The name of the island is attributed to the Old Norse language and is said to refer to the amount of feathers found on the island by the seabird colony.
The lighthouse on the island is automated today.
With the help of cameras the birds are observed by the Scottish Seabird Centre.
The lighthouse on Fidra Island in the Firth of Forth was built in 1885.
The lights are visible up to 24 nautical miles.
Fidra Island is said to have been the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson's book "Treasure Island".

Christmas market at Werdmühleplatz with the "Singing Christmas Tree":
On a stage as tall as a house, lovingly decorated in the shape of a Christmas tree, children's choirs from the region in particular offer the best of their Christmas repertoire.
