Catches the worm

One of several images I took on our visit up to St Abbs in Scotland, back in 2016

We'd been exceptionally lucky with the sunrise that morning and although I took many images from this same POV, the little bird on the rail to the left, hunting for morsals of food, had hopped further up the rail in this image.

I've actually toned the sky down a little, as it was so intense

Such a stunning location which I'd like to return to at some point

A place I defo want to explore more for Seascape photography… St Abbs Head! The wider shot here was inviting but I preferred this version as the foreground was just soo messy for my liking! Im getting soo fussy in my old age!

A similar shot to a previous one but 5 minutes later. The sun had just came up lighting the sky giving more contrast to the scene. Not really sure which one I prefer.

Walking round in circles from the beautiful Coldingham Bay through St. Abbs, along the cliff tops (with lots of scary drops!) to the other side of St. Abbs Head and then back via Coldingham Loch, finishing with sustenance at Coldingham Beach Cafe.

A grand day out with a couple of marras.

After a very frustrating wait and revisit after a couple of hours I finally got some light onto this scene.

 

I knew all the elements were there but just needed the light. It was one of those days where there are a few gaps in the clouds and just as it looks like it was going to clear the clouds would fill in at the last minute. Luckily the dark clouds stayed above the field.

 

A trip down the coast yesterday was a bit of an adventure, to see my blog visit:http://www.martindevlinphotography.com/blog/

The lighthouse was designed and built by the brothers David Stevenson and Thomas Stevenson and assisted navigation before and after sight of the Bell Rock and Isle of May lights disappeared from view. The light began service on 24 February 1862 and initially used oil to generate its light, it was converted to incandescent power in 1906 and to electricity in 1966 and finally automated in 1993.

A view to St Abbs on a dull and windy day.

 

St Abbs is a small fishing village on the southeastern coast of Scotland, United Kingdom within the Coldingham parish of Berwickshire.

 

The village was originally known as Coldingham Shore, the name St Abbs being adopted in the 1890s. The new name was derived from St Abbs Head, a rocky promontory located to the north of the village, itself named after the 7th century saint Æbbe of Coldingham.

 

St Abbs was originally called Coldingham Shore. Prior to any buildings the fishermen who worked their boats from the beach resided at Fisher's Brae in Coldingham. These fishermen had to carry their fishing gear one and a half miles down a path to where their fishing vessels were tied up. The path is now known as the Creel Path; creel is the local name for a lobster pot.

 

The first building in St Abbs was constructed in about the middle of the 18th century followed later by a row of five cottages. This first row of houses was constructed in a traditional Scottish style with a central fire and a wide chimney. The walls were constructed of "clat and clay," a framework of wood interlaced with straw and daubed with moist clay.

this was one of my favourite places having a holiday at st Abbs head and this is a fresh water lake just off the headland

A couple of weeks ago I took a journey to the south east coast of Scotland and popped in to see the harbour at St Abbs, I have not been here since I was a very young child, funny thing is, I did feel like it was familiar to me.

 

In this shot are crab creels from the crab fishing boats and St Abbs Lifeboat Station where they were launching their new lifeboat by coincidence when I was visiting.

St Abb's is situated on the east coast of Scotland just north of the border with England. The lighthouse is situated 300 feet up on the clifftop and is relatively short due to its elevated position. It was built in 1861 and originally lit by an oil lamp and turned by clockwork. The fog siren was added in 1876 and was the first in Scotland.

If you love coastal walks with stunning views and plenty of seabirds to watch, then this energetic circuit in the Scottish Borders will suit you well. St Abbs head is a National Nature Reserve we walked it from Coldingham bay.

Another shot from the headland at St Abbs.

 

It's slightly tricky to access this spot and was lucky to catch the sunset lighting up the clouds in the East.

 

Exposure was around 5 seconds to capture the movement in the water.

 

Still no sign of summer in Scotland yet as only get the odd day where it warms up and the sun comes out so hoping for some settled weather soon

I don't often get to go to the seaside. St Abbs is a great unusual location.

I had a trip up to St Abbs early this morning. It's the first time iv'e been, but it certainly won't be the last

A beautiful day at St Abbs Head in the Scottish Borders. It was a very bright day so decided on Black and white

Not had much in the way of sunsets recently but had some better days.

 

One of my fav spots of the old causeway at St Abbs. Ten stop B&W filter than came into its own as the spray on this day was awful and it was easy to give a quick wipe and carry on.

 

The dark clouds were heading my way and shortly after it rained but got some good light just before.

Looking back to St Abbs from the walk out to St Abb's Head.

St. Abbs is a beautiful piece of coastline in the south east corner of Scotland. It's well worth a visit.
