I absolutely think these, almost unplanned excursion, vlogs are the most interesting. I got a decent shot of Bass Rock through one of the ruined windows of Tantallon Castle. Didn't cost me anything as I'm a member. Always a good idea to be a member of English Heritage/National Trust/Historic Scotland,/RCAHMW (Wales), even if its just for ease of parking. There's rarely a time limit to how long you can park within opening hours, can save you having to cough up for council carparks.
That bumpy bit in the background was Berwick Law - law is just an eastern Scottish word for hill (probably Norse originally).
I used to be members of all them i cant afford to now... such a shame
Cool bridge shots
Thanks i want to go back
Love it around there. Great video mate 👍
Glad you enjoyed
As you say Paul that area has a lot of potential in the right conditions. As it was you still managed to get some great images 📷👏👏
Its would be aming in a storm haha
Hi Paul, that was a smashing video with some super shots, Bass rock certainly looked great and that wee harbour looking towards the castle was excellent, I think the selfie was a really good one 👍. I also loved the long exposures of the Bridge to Nowhere, they were actually quite stunning. Super video with great photos, what more could we ask for 😁👍
Glad you enjoyed it thank you, so you liked the selfie haha
Another great video Paul.
Great locations and great shots.
Well done going for a dip. Glad you didn’t get cut off.
You and me both!

I loved the little harbour with the castle in the background.
Great image's and i loved the long exposure one's of the bridge.
Look forward to the next one mate.
Thank you so much 😀
Always a pleasure to watch your videos, many thanks for sharing your experiences.
My pleasure! your welcome
The Bass Rock looks spectacular when seen through the stone arches up the drive from the beach at Seacliff. There’s a massive history to Seacliff and Scoughall which gave Stephenson his inspiration for his book, The Wreckers. In 1919, John Robert Dale bought the estate of Seacliff, Scoughall and Auldhame after being tenant farmer of Scoughall since 1848, and Auldhame since 1834. The three estates remain to this day in the ownership of the Dale family. The novelist Robert Louis Stevenson was related to John Robert Dale and spent several boyhood holidays at Scoughall. It was here in front of the farmhouse fire that the young Stevenson first heard the story of how folks in these parts on dark stormy nights, when winds used to lash the coast, lured sailing ships onto the rocks by displaying misleading lantern lights.
During the Second World War Seacliff was a base for the new submarine detection system that went across the Firth of Forth.
The place you took the photo of Tantallon Castle and Bass Rock together was a few yards towards Seacliff from Auldhame, which is at the corner of the main road to North Berwick from the A1. The Dale family still own and work the farm and own the beach to low tide, which is very rare in the UK. The concrete roads, and there are a few miles of them, were laid privately during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. The estate used to grow large areas of potatoes, cabbages, leeks, wheat, barley and had a large dairy herd. The horses are mostly, if not all, pedigree Welsh Cobs.
Next time i am there ill have to do better.. its a really nice area.. any advice on location please do let me mknow
@@paulcomptonpdphotography Seacliff itself is a square of farm cottages that is very interesting. Also the cottaged just towards North Berwick, a few yards from Auldhame, all these were owned by the farm and housed farm workers and retired farm workers until quite recently. Lovely picaresque cottages. The stone wall of the shed at Aulhame, a few yards from where you took the pictures of the rock on the road, has the inscription ‘Aulhame, J R Dale and Sons, which has a proud historical significance. Everywhere you look and every cottage on the farm has its own history including Seacliff mansion which mostly burnt down and has remained in ruins. There’s more. Scoughall, the home farm which you find if you continue for a mile down the concrete road from Seacliff, is a historically significant farmstead which has even more but more modern cottages near the beach but which were abandoned in the 1960’s for some reason. There must be a story there but I’m unaware of it. It was farmed in the 50’s to the 80’s by a lovely man called Tommy Dale who very sadly suffered from Parkinson’s from a relatively young age. His sons and daughters and grandsons, I believe are around today and one grandson may be farming in a more simple way than in olden days. In 1976 Tommy Dale was European farmer of the year and due to his Parkinsons ended his public speaking. Behind every picture there is a story and you hit the jackpot there if only you knew it at the time.
You are amazing giving so much info top marks in class for this..
There is often a boat in Seacliff harbour. It is a private harbour and well used. I remember the Rock when there was actually plant growth over a good part of it, which was green. This was before the vast increase in the number of Northern Gannets, Puffins and Guillemots whose waste has turned it nearly white these days.
Green no way... its white now.. when was this
@@paulcomptonpdphotography 1975/76. It wasn’t completely green of course but there was substantial areas of grass or other green plants on it.
its crazy how places change, any other places you been that have changes a lot

Great images and location
Many thanks!
Another great video from Paul, just wondering wr never see your wife anymore while you are going out and about. 📸
Good question! and one i cant answer on here...
Some very familiar spots to me. Your video is a bit out of order showing the drive down to Seacliff as you approach The Bridge to Nowhere. Must have been a spring tide as the water was well in. A normal tide you can get the bottom of the bridge clearing the horizon. Also in that area North Berwick is well worth a visit. Interested to see what wreck you were going to visit. There is one on its last legs at Longniddry but you would have already went past that. Likewise the submarines at Aberlady.
i must of driven backwards haha ill have to re visit the bridge i seen some amazing photos from there
Nice video Paul. Unless I've missed it, did you make mention of the Fee required to access the track down to Seacliff beach? Is it still £2, (2x £1 coins)? I think that wee Harbour is the smallest in UK. Nice wee spot. Keep up the good work.
I think it said £2 but the gate was open and no charge when we went
the bridge --- its been ruined by the rails/scaffolding to the left.
no way gutted, is the photo gone now then
This is NOT the northeast coast!
I see why is that, its North and East haha
@@paulcomptonpdphotography this is on the Scottish SOUTH EAST coast. The north coast would be would be Aberdeen to Nairn or somewhere near there. As the crow flies you are about 150 miles out!!
