Sunrise in Scotland
Saturday 21st January 2023
Woke up on a chilly Scottish clifftop and was treated to an amazing sunrise while I packed up my tent. Went for a quick wander around Berwick in the morning, then spent most of the daytime getting back home to London, but happily wiled away the hours on the train editing my latest video.

Good morning from the Scottish coast! It was a bit chilly this morning (just below freezing I think) but I bravely popped out to see if there was anything to see of the sunrise yet.

07:40:10
Rather nice skies now, and it was a bit windy as hopefully you can just about see from the tent here!

07:40:15

07:40:38
I won't lie I felt really quite cold while taking this. Inside the tent in my sleeping bag I had been fine, outside was a different matter.

07:40:49
Still - amazing to be here and have all of this to myself.

I look quite ridiculous don't I? Chie gave me this hat as a silly Christmas present and in the absence of any other warm hats I took it along just in case. It did make quite a difference. Although paired with a head torch it looks particularly silly.

07:50:32
Lovely skies though.

07:50:41
Hopefully this gives a bit of a sense of how chilly it was!

07:50:49
I was sort of in the process of packing up camp, but I tried to do as much as I could inside the tent to stay warm, then I would pop out for a minute to see what the sunrise was doing.

Pretty stunning I hope you'll agree.

08:09:39
A bit of a shame to spoil that scene by sticking my face in the way!

08:26:36
I think I was finally packed up by this point, and one last rather spectacular shot of the sunrise as I was heading off. Once again I wish I hadn't spoiled it by having me in the way!

09:46:22
Back at St. Abb's, where I called a taxi to get back to Berwick.

10:20:29
I arrived in Berwick with a bit of time before my train, so went for a wander around.

10:20:41
Look, Tweed Street!

10:23:38
The other end of Tweed Street.

10:27:46
An in-joke here - Look Berwick's got a Holland and Barrett!

10:28:48
The high street in Berwick.

The first class lounge at Berwick station. Small, but I quite appreciated a nice place to sit and a proper toilet.

16:12:38
The journey home was a rather long one due to engineering works, but I happily wiled away the time finishing off the editing of my video. The sun had already set once again by the time I got back to London.
