Starting from Gullane, this could be the first close look at the beach if you walk up Marine Road and down through the path through the Sea Buckthorn bushes.

The best of the three grassy dunes pictures. Smooth damp sand, seaweed, black rocks, flotsam and jetsam contrast with the soft grass and clouds.

The actual islet of Eyebroughy. Clouds are bubbling up in the background.

A strangely shaped cloud floats overhead. In the foreground on the right a sandbank still connects the tiny island to the mainland at lowtide.

A second shot of the cloud. A lone seagull flies overhead.

Oyser Catchers and gulls seem to be waiting around as the tide turns and proceeds to turn Eyebroughy back into an island.

Most birds fly off as I approach. One adult and two young gulls remain briefly.

Clouds over Fife are reflected in the ripples of the rising tide.

Eyebroughy is being cut off by the tide and will be safer again for the cormorants and other birds. Fidra is the larger island on the right.

Turning round the opposite way shows the shore and the grassy dunes at the back of this expanse of sand.

Fidra is on the left horizon. At the other end of this bay the footpath climbs some low cliffs before coming to the Longskelly area.

Strange rock formations resemble a smiling sea monster resting on black boulders.

Broad Sands is the big beach between Yellowcraigs and North Berwick. At low tide thousands of wormcasts are visible but their creators are hiding until the tide comes back in.

Almost at the end of the walk from Gullane. It's worth coming this far to avoid possible conflicts with golfers - which can happen if you're tired and tempted to take a shortcut.

This volcanic anomaly is visible from far afield but here it dominates the local townscape. Its new whale jawbone is at the summit, albeit a fibreglass replica cast from a mould of the real thing.
