Wherever you look in East Lothian, you see the influence of volcanoes that erupted more than 300 million years ago. These ancient volcanoes are responsible for the shape of the landscape, the coastal headlands, and even for the existence of East Lothian itself.

Wheel Sheds
Before the days of the combine harvester threshing was done with the aid of a threshing machine and a steam engine, before that by a barn thresher and horse wheel. Walk along the Cleveland Way past Kettleness Farm and you may notice an unusual building jutting from the side of the barn. This old wheel house once contained the horse wheel.

Whinnyfold to Boddam Coastal Path
This section of the path provides some tough walking along a narrow cliff top path but includes a 3-kilometre beach walk at Cruden Bay. The cliff top village of Whinnyfold gives fine views north across the Cruden bay and links golf course. Follow the beach, cross the water of Cruden by the Ladies bridge and continue to the gaunt and dramatic ruin of Slains Castle perched on the rugged cliffs. The views from the path reveal an ever-changing vista of sea stacks and cliffs with sea bird colonies. Most famous is the Bullers of Buchan a collapsed sea cave. The path follows the cliff edge before reaching the village of Boddam. -
