Here’s a nice little slideshow of North Berwick, the Bass Rock and its Gannets

Ian Goodall's microlight view, on 8th February 2015, north-west over North Berwick and the Firth of Forth to Fife

Ian Goodall's microlight frosty view east across North Berwick, the Law on the right, harbour on the left and Bass Rock offshore

North Berwick East beach, boating pond, harbour, town centre and West Bay photographed by Ian Goodall from a microlight

North Berwick harbour in July. Viewed from near the Lobster Shack across to the granary flats, with the West Bay on the right

Spectacular sunsets in North Berwick, this one across the Firth of Forth to Fife from the harbour, are probably the best in the world

Snow on the East beach, North Berwick and (it's not the 150,000 gannets, they've all left) on the Bass Rock almost three miles away

North Berwick Rowing Club annual regatta. From the West beach, teams row their skiffs out to and around Craigleith island and back

North Berwick Tennis courts and clubhouse. The club has hosted the annual East Lothian Tennis Championships since 1927

Take a walk west of North Berwick along a two-mile stretch of golden sands - Broadsands beach - before reaching Yellowcraig


The Law (613ft, exhumed core of a volcano) at the southern edge of the town is reflected in water lying on the John Muir Way path

All seven Exmoor ponies at the bottom of a snow-covered Law, next to the recently-created wetlands, are hoping to be fed

St Andrew's Kirk (1664, in ruins), and clock tower of the 'new' St Andrew Blackadder Church, replaced the church near the harbour

North Berwick's wonderful display of Christmas lights along the High Street. The Abbey Church Christmas tree is on the left

Bass Rock and Tantallon Castle - East Neuk of Fife in the distance - viewed across an East Lothian wheat field on the road to Seacliff

Seacliff harbour's spectacular setting. Jack Dale moors his lobster boat in the UK’s smallest harbour, cut out of solid rock

Ian Goodall's microlight view of the mighty curtain wall of Tantallon Castle with the Bass Rock offshore (February, so no gannets yet)

The Bass Rock in August, viewed from Canty Bay. During the summer more than 150,000 northern gannets turn the Rock white

Gannets on the Bass Rock. The fat (too heavy to fly) dark birds in the foreground are almost 13-weeks old, soon to become 'jumpers'

A 13-week old 'jumper' leaves the Bass Rock. Amazing unique photograph of the first 'flight' of a gannet, too heavy to fly properly

Gannets flying east of Bass Rock. Gannets start arriving in March and leave by November to over-winter on the west coast of Africa

Gannets diving and feeding east of the Bass Rock, home to the biggest colony of northern gannets in the world
