Steps up from the beach

The Scottish Borders region

Due to its location at the entrance to the Firth of Forth and the immense difficulties presented by clay soils and deep valleys, the area has been the scene of intense human struggles for centuries.

Fast Castle, on a headland visible from Cove, is the most dramatic ruin of a dense network of towers.
Dunglass Collegiate Church is a demonstration of Hume power, in the care of Historic Scotland.
St Helens a ruin and Cockburnspath churches are evocative places with fine headstones.

The whole coast is famous to geologists since the time of Sir James Hall of Dunglass, who publicised his geological experiments in the 1780s and is generally remarkably unspoilt.

The Cockburnspath / Cove Village area

The annual Flower & Art Shows at Oldhamstocks, Cockburnspath & Innerwick, all are in August.
