Way out east

After work, where better to go than for a drive along the East Lothian coast to North Berwick where chips and gelato beckoned.

The name North Berwick means North "barley farmstead" ("bere" in Old English means "barley" and "wic" in Old English is 'farmstead'). The word North was applied to distinguish this Berwick from Berwick-upon-Tweed, which throughout the Middle Ages the Scots called South Berwick. It was recorded as Northberwyk in 1250.

I hope you have had a lovely day too.
