Longniddry Ship Wreck


Today was another opportunity to visit one of the many beaches along the East Lothian coast to the west of Dunbar and North Berwick.  Longniddry Bents, a long sandy and rocky beach situated to the north of Longniddry, stretching for approximately 4.5 km. 

On the beach an old wreck is visible at low tide.  There is no information on the name of the ship or how long it has been on the beach.  It has obviously been there for a long time as all that is left is the keel and a few spars, but it is a mecca for photographers who come to Longniddry Bents to capture long exposure images as the tide laps around the old timbers.

As this was a family walk, and not a photo expedition, I contented myself with some shots of the wreck using the X-T1 and the XF18mm f2 Fujinon.

Longniddry Bents is close to nature reserves and there are a lot of birds to be seen feeding when the tide is out. It is a great beach for blustery walks during the winter as well as family visits in the summer. The beach is also popular with canoeists and windsurfers.
