North Berwick Law is a very large and very high hill and is a must if you are visiting this area of Scotland, it is a bit of a climb to the summit but, the views are well worth it, you get the most amazing vistas and can see for miles around. Berwick Law stands at 615 feet above sea level and is made of igneous rock and was formed when the mouth of a volcano was closed by its own molten lava. The area is rich in history, there are indications it was inhabited more than 2000 years ago with evidence of a minimum of at least eighteen hut circles, rich middens as well as a field system. In addition there is the remnants of a defensive stone dyke and ramparts. The remains of a stone building that is currently at the summit was constructed in 1803 to serve as a watch-house and signal station during the Napoleonic Wars, there is also a building that was a WWII look out post. The most notable landmark now is the gigantic whalebone that has a presence here since first erected in 1709, to serve as a marker to bring the sailors home safely. It was originally a genuine whalebone that was replaced a number of times and finally in 2008 a gigantic fibreglass replica jawbone was placed here which, can withstand the weathering and erosion, it is subjected to. The climb up takes about half an hour from the town centre and your ascent and descent should be made on the westerly direction, it is not the easiest of walks and proper footwear should be worn and care taken, the path up is clearly marked. On the way up there is lots to see from the wild ponies, a reservoir that served the town with its water supply in the 1870's and there is also an old quarry that was used in building much of the town in the nineteenth century. Take a camera as there are plenty of opportunities for photos. An exhilarating climb with fantastic views and lots to see, not to be missed if you get the opportunity.

William Lamb is a well noted and respected Scottish artist, who was totally committed to his work. Although he injured his right hand in World War I he did not let this deter him in his pursuit as an artist, he went off and learnt to draw with his left hand. He drew inspiration from the local people, culture and landscape, and this is evident in many pieces of his work. The building that served as his studio between 1934 to 1951 now showcases a great collection of his work. The studio is pretty much as it looked when he died so you get a true feel of how he worked and lived. On display here are sculptures, prints, etchings, drawings in addition to his tools in the workroom and his living room that is furnished with his individual-styled furniture. Some of the prominent pieces on display here are the model portrait heads of Princess Elizabeth and Margaret Rose that Lamb was commissioned to do by the Duchess of York, so pleased was she with his skills that she also commissioned Lamb to create a portrait of herself. The studio is open to the public throughout the summer months, entry at other times can be arranged with the curator of Montrose Museum. The staff at the museum are friendly and knowledgeable and more than willingly to chat about the artist and his work. Whether you are an artist, art lover or not you can't help but be impressed and enthralled by the work of William Lamb, a fascinating and insightful experience.
