Scotland 2019 7: St Abbs Village

The village of St Abbs (no apostrophe, apparently) is small and attractive, and marked the end of our walk around the headland.  The community seems to be thriving as a centre for scuba diving, and we saw lots of people wandering around in wet suits.  Despite all the marine activity - much of it by inexperienced individuals - the RNLI no longer funds the St Abbs lifeboat.  The locals have kept the lifeboat going as a private enterprise, however, since they believe it to be necessary.  We did our bit for the fundraising effort and bought some cards at the lifeboat shop.

 

A few feathered, two-legged and four-legged St Abbs visitors I met on the quayside.

 
I'm not quite sure what the "selfie" in question had revealed, but it was clearly rather shocking.  A suitable image for a caption competition, methinks.
