Day 21: Hike south of Edinburgh - Burwick-upon-Tweedy



Today we headed south of Edinburgh to go on another coastal walk. We looked up lots of hikes online last night and even contemplated going north to the highlands, but we loved our first coastal walk in Weymouth so much, we decided to head back somewhere on the coast. Plus the coast here is unlike anywhere in the U.S., so I will probably not be able to see anything like it again, and if I do, it won’t be for a long, long time. This time we started in Eyemouth and ended at St. Abby’s Head. Clinton and I took the train from Edinburgh to Burwick-upon-Tweedy, where my parents picked us up and drove us to Eyemouth for the start of the hike. It was a very cool hike and I am glad we did it, but I don’t think anything can compare to the hike we did in Weymouth.

This hike had lots of cliffs, which were awesome, but what I loved most about it was the countryside along the coast. I felt like I was in a movie… It is exactly what I think of when I think of Scotland or England. We even got lucky and it did not rain on us once (It has rained literally every other day). We are now headed back and I am going to work on thesis the rest of the night!
