The Bass Rock

A filming assignment took me to North Berwick today.

Took this shot from just outside the Scottish Seabird Centre.


".....And at the same time geese awaken and began crying about the top of the Bass. There is just the one crag of rock as everybody knows, but great enough to carve a city from. With the growing of the dawn I could see it clearer and clearer, the straight crags painted white with the seabird droppings like a morning frost. The sloping top of it green with grass, the clan of white geese that cried about the sides and the black broken buildings of the prison sitting close on the seas edge."

from Catriona by Robert Louis Stevenson.
