A very scenic coastal path traverses the east coast border between Scotland and England. It’s part of the North Sea Trail which carries on for considerable distances both North and South from the start/end points described in this post, which are the village of Burnmouth in Scotland and the town of Berwick upon Tweed in England, the area I call Scengland.

The ‘old man of Berwick” rock formation housing many migratory bird nests.

This section of the North Sea Trail merits additional attention because of its abundance in wild sea-scenery, natural beauty and plethora of migrating sea birds which make the cliffs their spring/summer nesting grounds. This area is also where the land masses of England and Scotland collided hundreds of million years ago.

With the exception of the 6-700 yard uphill start from near the pier in the village of Burnmouth, where you join the well-signed coast path, this walk is relatively flat. It is about 6 miles in length and strong shoes with good tread and waterproofs are recommended. You can leave the car at Burnmouth and take a bus back from Berwick upon Tweed town centre (stop is next to the library).

I am letting the pictures containing a variety of views from the walk do the rest of the talking.

Local Scengland residents – these guys have to make their living in harsh and dangerous but beautiful conditions.

More sea caves, Berwick upon Tweed is just around the corner at walk’s end.

I hope that you’ve enjoyed my walk along the Burmouth to Berwick upon Tweed section of the North Sea Trail and will take the opportunity to discover it for yourself if you are ever in Scengland.
