Our beach.

In a little more detail. The Forth passes between and over major coal seams. Their legacy has shaped the landscape and architecture. Indeed before the first bridge was opened you could walk from either side of the river to the other through a two mile tunnel. So back to the beach - it is littered with pieces of coal and lignite in abundance. So much so I have seen people harvesting it.

Thundersnow forecast for tomorrow ! Amber warnings, how exciting.
