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!
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.
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.
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 Head Lighthouse stands on the cliffs at the rocky promontory of St Abb's Head, near the village of St Abbs in Berwickshire.
A signal station was established on the cliffs before 1820 and the facilities were shared by Trinity House and Her Majesty's Coastguard. The Northern Lighthouse Board recommended the building of a lighthouse at St Abb's Head after the sinking of the Martello on Carr Rock in 1857. 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. Before automation the lighthouse was staffed by three full-time keepers whose duties included keeping detailed weather records. The lighthouse has two km of single-track tarmaced road leading to it from the main road near St Abbs village, however it is suggested by the National Trust for Scotland that it is only used by disabled visitors, and there is limited parking. Visitors can walk to the Head where the lighthouse's buildings, though still in good repair, are not open to the public. A foghorn was established at the Head in 1876, being the first audible fog signal in Scotland. The original foghorn was driven by hot air engines before being replaced by oil driven ones in 1911 and then by diesel engines in December 1955. The fog signal was discontinued in 1987 although the horn is still in place and can be reached at the edge of the cliffs by a railed path from the lighthouse.
Along the clifftops of St Abbs Head nature reserve.
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
Taken with mamiya rz67 pro 11 and Kodak TRI-X 400 120.
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
Here is proof that beauty exists all over Scotland. This photo was taken at the village of St Abbs on the south east coast of Scotland. This is a haven of sea birds and other wildlife and a location I would suggest that anyone visiting Scotland should go to and see with your own eyes.
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.
