Bubbly Buss is a small island located in East Lothian, Scotland. Situated off the coast, it is known for its stunning natural beauty and unique geological features. The island's name, Bubbly Buss, derives from the bubbling sound produced by the natural springs found on the island.

Covering an area of approximately 20 acres, Bubbly Buss is characterized by its rugged coastline, towering cliffs, and picturesque beaches. The island is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, offering a diverse range of bird species and marine life. Seals and dolphins can often be spotted swimming in the surrounding waters.

One of the island's main attractions is its geological formation known as the "Bubbly Buss Rocks." These rocks are formed by ancient volcanic activity and are characterized by their distinctive bubbly appearance. Visitors to the island can explore these unique formations and learn about the island's volcanic history.

Access to Bubbly Buss is limited, as it is only accessible by boat. However, once on the island, visitors can enjoy walking trails that lead to scenic viewpoints and secluded beaches. The island also has a small visitor center, providing information about its history, geology, and wildlife.

Bubbly Buss offers a tranquil and untouched escape for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful retreat. Its remote location and natural beauty make it a hidden gem in the East Lothian region, offering visitors a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in Scotland's natural wonders.

Archerfield Fence. An American style exclusive golf resort puts up its defences. Only Scotland does not have American style repressive access legislation. This is currently causing some heated feelings with local folk and could be heading to the courts. It is apparently still possible to walk from Yellow Craig to Gullane, but not as pleasant or easy as it was a year ago. According to the RA press release, planning permission was granted as it would prevent the inhabitants of the new village accessing the beach, for environmental reasons - all can still access the beaches by walking a bit. That's how goml defences should work. We don't get in - they don't get out.

The green fence An infamous eyesore, it could be supposed to be part of the defences of the rich only golf complex built in Archerfield woods. Apparently planning permission was given, as it will prevent access to remote beaches from the housing development associated with the golf. In other words it is to keep them in, rather than us out! The attempt to close off the woods completely eventually fell foul of the law. -- In the following years attitudes have changed completely and the estate has become very welcoming to visitors, and has even become a tourist attraction. Meanwhile houses have been built along the shoreline behind the fence.
