EDITORS COMMENTS
Looking down on North Berwick: A Panoramic View of the Firth of Forth and Craigleith Island from North Berwick Law, East Lothian, Scotland (1936) This photograph offers a breathtaking view of North Berwick, a picturesque coastal town located in East Lothian, Scotland. The scene is captured from atop North Berwick Law, an extinct volcanic cone that stands proudly over the town. The vantage point provides a unique perspective of the Firth of Forth, a vast estuary that separates the town from the lowlands of Fife. In the foreground, the ruins of a building can be seen atop the hill. These remnants are a testament to the rich history of the area, and add an intriguing element to the otherwise serene landscape. But the most striking feature of this image are the whale bones that lie atop the hill. The exact origins of these bones are shrouded in mystery, with some believing they were brought there as a reminder of the town's maritime heritage. The photograph also reveals the beauty of Craigleith Island, a small island located in the Firth of Forth. Its rugged cliffs and rocky shores provide a stark contrast to the tranquil waters of the estuary. The island is home to a colony of grey seals, adding to the area's natural charm. This photograph, taken in 1936, is a stunning representation of the natural and historical beauty of North Berwick and the Firth of Forth. It invites us to imagine the stories that lie within the ruins and the mystery of the whale bones atop the hill.
