Ross Point I don&#039;t know if this qualifies as a geograph (this is my first posting) as it is actually taken in NT9561 looking into NT9660. However it shows the landscape features of the coastline that wouldn&#039;t really be visible from within NT9660 itself.
The photo shows the hard coastal cliffs, vegetated sometimes down to sea level and backed by arable fields baked in the summer sun.

Whinney Hill is a prominent hill located in the county of Berwickshire, Scotland. Standing at an elevation of approximately 376 meters (1,234 feet), it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and the North Sea.

Situated about 5 kilometers south of the town of Eyemouth, Whinney Hill is part of the Southern Uplands range, known for its rolling hills and picturesque landscapes. Covered in heather and grass, the hill is an important habitat for a variety of flora and fauna, including birds of prey and rare plants.

The hill is easily accessible by foot, with several well-marked trails leading to its summit. The main route starts from the village of Coldingham, where visitors can embark on a moderate hike that takes approximately two hours to complete. Along the way, hikers can enjoy the peaceful surroundings and spot wildlife such as rabbits and deer.

Reaching the top of Whinney Hill rewards visitors with stunning views of the Berwickshire coast and the nearby St. Abb's Head, a dramatic cliff formation that is home to a seabird sanctuary. On clear days, it is even possible to see as far as the Farne Islands, located off the Northumberland coast.

Whinney Hill is a popular destination for nature lovers, hikers, and photographers, offering a chance to immerse oneself in the natural beauty of the Berwickshire countryside and enjoy the tranquility of the Scottish landscape.

Old fishermen's cottages at Partanhall, Burnmouth.

These substantial old cottages are now mostly holiday/second homes. Still if it's a sea view you're after... See NT9561 : The rocky shore at Partanhall. for the view from the door.
