Swiss Cheese on the Beach


While out walking on the beach at Seacliffe at the weekend we came across this strange rock lying on the sand.  The surface of the rock is covered by lots of round indentations, like something has worn the surface in those areas.  I don't know what caused this to happen but the result, which looks like Swiss cheese or an irregularly shaped golf ball, is very interesting.

The geology on the East Lothian coast is fascinating with so many different types of rocks and evidence of fossilised remains of mud flows, which are a testament to the volcanic activity in this area millions of years ago.

On the rocky parks of the East Lothian coast there are rock formations that have been sculpted by the wind and tides and perfectly smooth holes where pebbles have been moved around by the waves and tides to wear away the rock.

The one thing that is for sure is the East Lothian coast is never boring and we are always discovering new things on every walk.
