New Berwick, Scotland

With all the craziness of the January trip to Michigan, I completely forgot to post photos from our day trip to New Berwick when we were in Scotland! We hired a local guide who took us on a short, 20-minute train ride outside Edinburgh to the sleepy town surrounded by the North Sea. We hiked up an extinct volcano to capture breathtaking views of the town and the sea.

Wind gusts of 30mph couldn't stop us for living in the moment!

Our tour guide took us to the local whisky shop, fish & chip shop and centuries-old streets. It was a beautiful day without any rain (for once!) I highly recommend New Berwick to anyone visiting Edinburgh. Couldn't get enough of these views!

We ran around on the beach while watching the sunset on the lovely beach town.

Thanks again to Brandon for his great photos! Edinburgh and New Berwick are our favorite cities we've visited since living in London. :)
