The open ground of Magdalen Fields in Berwick-upon-Tweed (the northernmost town in England), Northumberland, England, is protected by the Bell Tower and an earthwork traverse line, which ends with the Great Bulwark Redoubt. The Bell Tower was built in 1577. It overlies an earlier tower on the line of the town defenses built by Edward I in 1296. Berwick-upon-Tweed (pronunciation: berɪk), on the east coast at the mouth of the River Tweed is situated 2.5 miles (4 km) south of the Scottish border and forms part of the wider Borough of Berwick-upon-Tweed local government district. Being central to a border war between the Kingdoms of Scotland and England since the 11th century, the town has lain within England since 1482. However, Berwick has strong cultural links with Scotland. Berwick remains, though, a traditional market town at heart. The town also boasts some notable architectural features, in particular the defence ramparts and the barrack buildings. Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Photomatix.

Lord’s Mount is an artillery bulwark built between 1541 and 1543 at the north-east angle of Berwick’s medieval town walls. It is massive circular fortification with walls 6 metres (19.5 feet) thick. The lower floor survives with six casemates for long swivel guns and living accommodation, which included a kitchen with a well and oven, and a latrine. The upper floor, containing the captain’s apartments, and an upper gun deck for six large guns, were demolished when the Elizabethan defences were begun in 1558.

Royal Border Bridge spans the River Tweed between Berwick-upon-Tweed (the northernmost town in England) and Tweedmouth in Northumberland, England. It is a Grade I listed railway viaduct built between 1847 and 1850, when it was opened by Queen Victoria. The engineer who designed it was the famous Robert Stephenson (son of George Stephenson). It was built for the York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway and is still in regular use today, as part of the East Coast Main Line. The bridge is 659 metres long. It has 28 arches (only a few arches visible here), constructed of brick but aesthetically faced with stone. The bridge is 38 metres above the river itself. In the 1990s it underwent significant repair work for the first time. Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Photomatix.

This is the steep cliff mentioned below. Couldn’t quite get close enough to capture the Gannets diving into the water. The island is “a volcanic plug of phonolite”, dating to the Carboniferous period. The rock was first recognised as an igneous intrusion by James Hutton, while Hugh Miller, who visited in 1847, wrote about the Rock’s geology in his book Edinburgh and its Neighbourhood, Geological and Historical: with The Geology of the Bass Rock. The island, which has been privately owned by the Hamilton-Dalrymple family for 300 years, is a volcanic plug and stands over 100 m high in the Firth of Forth Islands Special Protection Area which covers some, but not all of the islands in the inner and outer Firth. The Bass Rock is a Site of Special Scientific Interest in its own right, due to its Gannet colony. It is sometimes called “the Ailsa Craig of the East”. It is of a similar geological form to nearby North Berwick Law, a hill on the mainland. There are a couple of related volcanic formations within nearby Edinburgh, namely Arthur’s Seat and Edinburgh Rock. Much of the island is surrounded by steep cliffs, and rocks, with a slope facing south south west, which inclines at a steep angle. The Bass does not occupy the skyline of the Firth, quite as much as its equivalent in the Clyde, Ailsa Craig, but it can be seen from much of southern and eastern Fife, most of East Lothian, and high points in the Lothians and Borders, such as Arthur’s Seat, and the Lammermuir.

This was taken straight from the camera – no Photoshopping or anything…... / The shot was taken in Berwick, about 60 miles from Edinburgh. I’m so lucky to live this far North – we’re so close to God’s country (Scotland) – I ran over the road to a farmer’s field because i simply couldn’t let it go…. / Tonight the sky was incredible…....

One of a set of three paintings / Acrylic on canvas 8” x 8”. / Available individually (£100) or as a set (£250). These paintings are all from North Berick, a coastal scottish town where I spend a lot of time walking the beaches. It was a stormy grey afternoon on this weekend, and this tryptich is about trying to capture the violence of the clouds overhead. one of the things I love about Scotland is that it can still look beautiful in the most miserable weather.

This is my latest offering; an artistic interpretation of The Bass Rock. The Bass Rock is a very important site for Sea Birds. You need special permission to set foot on the Bass Rock. So unless your a naturalist with a keen interest in birds your unlikely to get the go ahead to land. /
