Day 7 Beadnell to Edinburgh 126miles

Lindesfarne Harbour & Priory
Returning on the causeway
Bass Rock in Firth of Forth
Woke at 4am by the fierce wind making the awning flap and rock the Starlett so Ross had to get out of his nest and retract it. Morning showed promise of another fine day so after breakfast we set out for Edinburgh. En route we took the causeway to Lindesfarne only to find out the castle was closed on Mondays. Still, we enjoyed a walk round (it is a lot bigger, with more people living there than I had imagined). Had the best cream scone ever in what felt like someones back garden then wended our way through Berwick on Tweed to stop for lunch at the border. Stopped at Gullane where there are 5 golf courses including Muirfield, to see if we could do a quick 9 holes on the way, but only 18 holes available. Arrived at our Edinbugh site north of the city, which is very nice but with views of the high rise flats in the distance. Watched 'Coast' on tele which was all round the area we had been yesterday!
