Sunset over Scott's View, in the Scottish Borders
Sunset over Scott's View, in the Scottish Borders
It's a beautiful place in Scotland. Picture was taken in the middle of the day but clods were nice, no harsh light and remember that this is ticketed area and there is no access at summer golden hours. Worth visiting, you can also capture some architecture details there.
Nice old historic castle
It's a nice place less popular than Melrose Abbey but also very beautiful. I didn't have perfect conditions but I did my best to give some idea about this place. You need to buy a ticket to get inside and there is no access early in the morning or late evening.

Chirnside Parish Church graveyard An interesting mix of headstones at the corner of the square. 4 squares converge in this graveyard. The kirkyard was the site of a famous resurrection in 1764 when Marjorie Halcrow Erskine, the second wife of the Revd Henry Erskine, was laid to rest in a shallow grave by the sexton who later returned to steal her jewellery. While he was trying to cut off her finger to steal a ring, the corpse awoke and dashed off across the kirkyard to the manse door, which she pleaded the minister to open ‘For I’m fair clemmed wi’the cauld.’ Apparently, in her additional years of life, she gave birth to two sons, Ralph and Ebenezer Erskine, who founded the Secession Church. The fate of the sexton is not known
