Eyemouth, Scottish Borders
2007-01-28 17:06:01 We went fo Sunday lunch at the Contented Sole pub in Eyemouth today. It is one of favourite haunts for Sunday lunch and as it’s in Scotland I will be guaranteed a smoke free environment. Lunch was followed by a walk along the coastal path north towards Coldingham.

You can read more about Eyemouth and the Scottish borders in my guide. |
