Discover the extraordinary secrets of an incredible coastline to the east of Edinburgh in the County of East Lothian. It is an area of regal beauty with golden sandy beaches, medieval castles, the largest concentration of championship links golf courses in the world, gourmet restaurants and fabulous coastal and upland walks.

In this second Episode, we will start where we left off in the previous Episode having just left the village of Direlton with a view of the small hill, Berwick Law, up ahead on the right hand side. We will drive down to North Berwick and look at the fabulous Sea Bird Centre with interactive cameras to look directly into the nest of the sea birds on the Bass Rock. We will hear about the Bass rock, with it's castle and place of imprisonment over the centuries. We will then take the coast road down to Dunbar with an amazing sculpture nearby called Dunbear, a 15 foot Brown Bear – what is it doing there? We will then return to Edinburgh via East Fortune to see the extraordinary Museum of Flight and then onto Athelstaneford, the village where the Scottish Flag, the Saltire, was born. We will pop into the lovely market town of Haddington to see it's lovely shops and cafés before having a look at the village of Gifford, a real hidden gem of a village with it's quirky cafés and ancient church with a connection to the American Declaration of Independence. A wonderful area, with some wonderful stories and so close to Edinburgh
