Sun & North Berwick

Summer decided to make an appearance here in Scotland so Stacie and I seized the chance to get outside. According to local sources, summer here can be a bit of a flirt. We jumped the train to the little town of North Berwick (pronounced Barrik...your guess is as good as mine). Walking to Waverly Station we enjoyed the greenery and blooming flowers in Princes Street Gardens, we also stopped to admire the castle. You just don't get used to walking around town in the shadow of a medieval castle!

All aboard to N. Berwick

Every summer my family spends a week on the Oregon Coast and North Berwick reminded me of the little towns we frequent. Shops, eateries, cafes and more shops lined the old streets that were teaming with people. Stacie and I both love the sea salt smell in the air of coastal towns and North Berwick didn't let us down.

Stacie and I both have a weak spot for unhealthy food and Scotland is known for deep fried delicacies (oxymoron?). We visited a local fish 'n chips shop, known as a chippy, on a friends recommendation. We left full, happy and greasy...success!

Local chippy serving up happiness!
