The thing I love about working in East Lothian is that there are so many beautiful places nearby to go for a lunchtime walk. My walk today was along Peffer Sands, which is a great big sandy beach with lots of sand dunes. It is a quiet and isolated spot with amazing views over the Forth and down to the Bass Rock.
I
walked along the beach and up onto the rocky outcrop at the southern end of the
beach. This area is known as St
Baldred’s Cradle.
Here
St Baldred is believed to have spent some years in a remote hermitage. He obviously liked the view if he came here,
as it’s still pretty remote and out of the way.
There is supposedly an ancient cairn here, but I’ve never actually seen
it. However, I do find this is often the
case with ancient landmarks, unless they are pointed out to me, I just don’t
see them.
Today’s
Skulferatu was left in a crack in one of the rocky outcrops overlooking the
Bass Rock.
The
coordinates for the location of the Skulferatu are:
