Day 14. Thursday, 17th April 2014. Ellemford to Cockburnspath. 14 miles. An extraordinarily early start from yet another first class B&B, and thanks to the landlord who drove me the 1 mile back to the SUW, saw me start the last lap at 7.40. A gentle uphill woodland walk alongside the river made a pleasant start. The path then descends to the river level at Abbey St. Bathans. Walking around and through several fields of sheep shows that lambing is now well under way. My arrival, each time being greeted with great disapproval by all concerned. Another up and down led me to the A1 which I crossed and then, almost immediately, the East Coast Main Line via a conveniently-placed bridge. At the top of a pleasant upward path through mixed woodland, I was given my first sighting of the North Sea, still some 3 miles away. The descent through a nature reserve was followed by field path to the cliff tops. The wind, which had been steadily increasing in speed, reached a crescendo. I managed to stay on terra firma to enjoy some good coastal scenery, marred, unfortunately, by rows and rows of caravans. A short inland stroll brought me to journey's end, Cockburnspath at 12.25. I caught the 12.44 bus to Edinburgh, arriving at 14.10. With time on my hands, I took an open-topped bus tour of the city followed by a visit to the Scottish National Gallery. The shuttle bus has transported me to the airport and dinner in the Wetherspoon's from which this report is being filed. Weather. Another dry day. Overcast at first with the sun putting in appearance as I reached the coast. Poll final. Two more definite Scots noes brings the final total to Ayes 4 Noos 14 Doon't Knooows 3 Knee Vootin' 3. I doubt the actual result will bear any resemblance to mine but it interesting asking the question.
